what im finding hard to understand is the interview process. are there really any job offers without requiring a video or in-person interview? where are they? i need those, im not NK, please enlighten me

I am amazed at that too! This is (according to the article) defence industry and government jobs, which you'd thought would take these things more seriously.

monaco is a joke

ireland is the place

Ireland has its advantages, such as a favorable tax environment, supportive government initiatives, and being part of the EU, but being on the continent allows for better alignment with neighboring countries like Germany, Belgium, and France, providing easier collaboration and market penetration. Continental Europe has a higher concentration of cities with strong educational institutions and tech hubs, making it easier to attract and retain top talent.

This Irish American would recommend going Dutch! :)


why cant u run linux in "great hardware"?

Oh missunderstanding here, i meant a great laptop. At the time when i got my mbpro with m1 chip there werent competitors in terms of battery/keyboard/screen and temp/noise.

So i'm looking for a laptop with equal great hardware that i can run linux on. Ofc you can run linux on great hardware, makes it even better!


I think they had wished to run it directly on Apple silicon as they mention Asahi does not yet support functionality they are looking for.

I am unsure what the state of a Linux VM is regarding Apple processors.


Bega bought Vegemite just for the "Australian" brand...in my mind, if they cant compete with the ludicrous prices of cheese and vegemite they offer, they should pack it

not wanting to use google (or any third party) is a reasonable reason for me

An immigrant to America thinking he's an American?...naaw naaw thx

Someone living in Sydney (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41546796) and using "maths" in the Commonwealth style (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41280463) decides that someone like my foreign-born father who became a US citizen as a teenager, was wrong to think he's an American?

Bless your heart.


That's very cool...I don't get the "maths"'s Commonwealth style, do you have any links to enlighten me?

Most members of the Commonwealth - Canadians excepted - say "maths" while North American English uses "math".

An Aussie chastising an American for being insufficiently American enough should put their cork hat back on and drink an ice cold Foster's.


Yeah yeah sorry if I touched a nerve

Ifpology acknowledged.

and still birth rates are reasonably high...why would a state pay for childcare if it wasnt to rise birth rates?

To bolster its workforce. Parents with childcare can work. Regardless why (fertility rate, labor force participation improvement), it is the right thing to do imho.

Daycare is suboptimal. Parents have a duty to and should have the freedom to take care if their kids.

Many parents feel the trap of daycare, and will never escape it.

A single income household is ideal over a dual income household with hired childcare.


> Daycare is suboptimal. Parents have a duty to and should have the freedom to take care if their kids.

Why should parents be the sole caretakers of young children? This is not the norm and never has been.

> A single income household is ideal over a dual income household with hired childcare.

Why should people have to choose between work and raising kids? Why not work less and do both?


Ideally we'd all have a lot of things we don't all have the means to have. Practically, the pitch is daycare offers a net cheaper option for society as a whole by allowing us to specialize roles in our communities, allowing the same means to do more similar to public education. Constraints aside, it'd also be great if, e.g., we all got our education via dedicated 1:1 time with experts instead... but that doesn't make it a practical possibility for everyone.

It's also worth noting the article opens with a single income family that used childcare. The options there were either don't have the family you want at the ideal age, don't go for a more ideal education/income prospects, or don't go for the ideal always-with-one-parent style of raising the kids. None of the choices would have left all ideals on the table.


A single income household with a homemaking parent requires that wages or salaries be offered that can support an entire family on a single income. In most states, minimum wage (and even most hourly jobs that pay above minimum wage) isn’t even enough to support living alone for a single person working less than 60 hours/wk.

> Parents ... should have the freedom to take care [of] their kids

I wonder if there is a path to making this possible for more people?


The dual income norm since 1971 is just a backdoor way the top 1% have stolen from the rest of the country.

The options are frequently a zero income household or a single income household with hired childcy.

Done properly such policies promote a better more uniform and reliable childcare industry, moves more parents from home into the workplace, raises more in taxes from working hours, increases early socialisation for young children, etc.

To reduce crime, have increased economic growth.

To improve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for its citizens.

Birthrate in the US is extremely and unsustainably low.

1.62 births per woman in 2023.

Replacement rate is 2.1 or 2.2 depends on the source.
