Few weeks ago archeologists found similar, older settlement bit west from that one, that belongs to Vinca culture, that spanned in current Serbia, South Hungary and western Romania
Here is HN story about it
Agreed. Munich is crazy expensive
Serbia or Romania get a much better bang for a buck.
Maybe this is part of long-term term strategy to move "commodity" roles to cheaper markets amid recent FTC decision on forbiden non-compete ...
Presumably only for their own and Chinese brands however as I can't see anyone letting them do fabication for major players outside of China. They've also got a huge hurdle given they cant buy the standard equipment every chip fab needs owing to it all being produced by a single company.
If there's one company that has the capability to become a Samsung/Intel (IDM) on steroids, it is Huawei.
They have the money,talent, determination and state backing.
It is a very sad thing to remove TLD for any country, no matter if it does not exist anymore. As the author underlined, tons of valuable and interesting historical resources are lost for good.
ICANN should change this rule, IMHO.
Your suggestion is equivalent to getting rid of 'that internet'. Actually such a development would make sense - first there are the regional wars, then comes fragmentation and the end of that global communication network.
I hope some of open solutions for policy management will prevail soon,like OPA, and all public cloud providers give support for it.
I did not expect from AWS to simply support OPA in this phase of problem/market fit for the complex system Auth. Still, not happy with yet another siloed solution which is proprietary to one cloud.
Reminded me of my childhood in Serbia, western neighbour of Romania, where we used to have same hay stacks [1], but now those are very hard to see, since modern methods prevailed for hay collection and transportation.
Not sure tbh, why this thing is called Romanian in first place.
Well now that I know, I think you should pay a licence fee for using our intellectual property. Please take an appointment to the Romanian embassy in Belgrade. Your money will help us develop even more the haystack technique.
I remember building those on my grandma's farm ~30 years ago. The adults woud throw hay to the top and us children would pack it down by walking on it in circles around the pole.
Another thing she would store for the winter were whole corn plant stems, arranged in a teepee-like structure around a tree trunk. The empty space between the trunk and the corn made a favorite hiding place for both us the children, as well as her chickens.
While reading the article, I was also wondering if this particular type of haystack is really uniquely Romanian. Although nowadays you have a much greater chance of seeing these in Romania, where there is a lot of hilly/montainous terrain which is not suited to the mechanical contraptions that spit out hay rolls (plus arguably in Romania there are more poor farmers who can't afford mechanical contraptions for their hay, or have plots so small that using a mechanical contraption is not worth it).
These are not unique to Europe either. We have these all over Nepal as well. It's still the dominate method for storing hay. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a "modern" haystack!
Reminds me of my summer holidays which I spend on my grandparents' farm in Bosnia. It was so boring there, that I welcomed the manual and hard work on the fields.
Andrew of Mixergy podcast recently had great guest and episode related to better schooling with Chrisman Frank, the founder of Synthesis.
Intro: If youve been a long-time listener you might have heard me complain about my education. So much so that a guest at one time told me to stop. But I still think there should be a better way. Another person who feels that way is Elon Musk. He hired someone to create a whole new curriculum for his kids. Well, todays guest got to see inside that program and he was so blown away by it that he created a company that kids outside of SpaceX can get access to.
This. I also wished we learned more about this in my CS degree college classes. Luckily, there is pretty good podcast series that helped me structure team leadership, management and other non technical skills. It is called: Manager tools.
Here is the list of all topics on politics [1] with intro to 101 series saying this:
"Your organization is MUCH more political than most of us realize. For those who know it's political, some say, I'm not going to play that game. Either state of being - not seeing the politics, or ignoring them, is unfortunate. Professional Life is HUMAN life, and that means it's emotional, and therefore political. Engineers, software designers, technical people take note: hate those marketing and sales people all you want, but they're gonna end up being your boss unless you recognize the value of political, or put differently, non-rational, decision making."
Seconding the Manager Tools podcast. I used to teach devs coming out of boot camps and half our time was spent on how to manage your manager.
IMO, schools of all kinds need to teach their students how power dynamics are in the real world, how most jobs are about navigating through difficult personalities, and how “being a professional” is not really about winning or losing, but how you play the game.
And look, I get that a good chunk of us would prefer to compartmentalize non-engineering work as much as possible. It’s just that knowing the rules is the best way to decide if you want to engage with them.
Personally, I’d aim for a new role at a medium or large sized company. Small startups are great if you want to wear a lot of hats and be close to the customer. Once a company starts getting around 50 people is when most of your job is abstracted through different fiefdoms of stakeholders, usually your project managers.
And at mega corps with 400+ people, most projects are being bolted onto a multi million dollar money printer. There’s so much more process to getting big changes out. But if you’re on the right team, you can build something novel and immediately have a market to test it out.
From reading the topic overview, that looks great, genuinely good. However, there are about 30 x 25m podcasts, or about 12.5 hours of listening to do. In written form I expect that to be about 2 hours of reading (probably less).
This is pretty opposite of the truth.
In the recent NPR podcast they talked about the fact that inventor of rapamycin practically cured himself of late stage cancer (given up to 6m of life, lived 5 years)
His cancer was nowhere to be found.
Then he decided to prove rapsmycin was the cause, stopped taking it, and died very shortly of cancer.

Even if it cures some cancers, it may cause others (skin and lymphoma according to the study above). And the inventor's story is an anecdote, not a study.
I'm not saying with any confidence that Rapamycin is a bad thing. I'm just asking a question, which I think is fair, considering the long list of strong adverse effects in higher dosages:

All those are obviously connected and related
