Average speed check zones. Multiple cameras that identify your car and ensure your average speed between point to point is not above the legal limit. Sure, you can go above the speed limit and then slow down, but it would be a pain to have to slow down, specially if you put cameras the entrance and exit of service stations in highways to discount breaks.
This would be a crazy revenue boost for metro areas outside of rush hour, where interstates are typically 55mph zones, while the traffic collectively moves at 65-70mph; going any slower than the flow is dangerous, but it's a dilemma to risk a ticket or risk a rear-ender.
That is very US specific.
In Europe, in a lot of office-based work if you get sick you take some days off and it doesn't impact your normal yearly 20-30 day vacation allowance. If you need more than X days (in my case 5), you need a paper from your doctor, otherwise you self declare as sick.
At my workplace, people tend to work from home if they are just feeling a bit sick.
It's mostly a fairly recent trend even in the US. For most of my career, I had separate vacation and sick days (as well as, possibly, personal/floating holidays). I'm not sure when the shift occurred but apparently a combined pool is pretty much the norm these days.
Fortunately, it's a trend that seems to have had fairly limited pickup. It really does seem like a bad system in practice. I have always, other than the odd day lost when I've hit a cap or whatever, used every day of vacation I've been allotted. In past roles, I've even taken month long vacations where I was totally out of touch.
I would not want to be in a situation where my vacation time depended on some prevailing sense among coworkers of the appropriate number of days to take off.

It's been the case at the last four places I worked: large corporations who knew their H1B workforce wouldn't ask for time off, and startups where I wouldn't get any spare moments to meet with my managers to ask for vacation.
(Fwiw, the vacation time at the start ups was perfectly decent, given the situation. I think I took ~3 weeks off each year. At the big company, it was a total fiddle.)
Read the whole comment. Still don't see nothing that invalidates my answer to "Can you name one language that has strings that initialise to anything but a valid object containing an empty string?".
Haha... Valid point. I'd have to explore the intricacies of Canadian songwriting before I could confidently make the assertion, but my feeling is that Cohen's songwriting falls in line with the American tradition.
That's where all the good record labels and record producers were. All good Canadian musicians/actors/directors go to the US. They largely leave Canada behind without much mention of Canada during their careers besides Drake and to a lesser extent Neil Young being the exception.
Leonard's first album had amazing production by american producer John Simon (who also worked with The Band, Simon & Garfunkel, Janis Joplin), probably the best in Cohen's entire career, so he chose well deciding to work out of Columbia's studio in NYC...
I'm struggling with the use of the word American here, both you and the parent posters. In my opinion all Canadians are just as much Americans as anyone from the USA.
Not sure what else you can call someone from USA, so I guess it makes a bit of sense.
This is common practice in London. I stopped answering calls with the reception ID as they are normally just recruiters doing what you mention.
The problem is that somehow they get my mobile number and stealing contacts as they themselves move between recruitment agencies is also common practice.
It's a pity it is only available in US layout. I can't get used to that small Enter key having used ISO layout my whole life.
I personally use a Filco with MX Browns and am really happy with it.
I can understand why you'd call the US Enter key small, but speaking as a Canadian who often has to pick between US and "Canadian Multilingual" keyboards, it's the international Enter key I call small -- I'd much rather have an enter key that's longer in the home row so my pinky doesn't have to reach as far. Of course I'm also the type to prefer Caps Lock as Backspace and I use Colemak. And it's hard to adjust to a new way of typing when you're used to another keyboard. Still funny to see this -- I make a point of only buying or recommending the US layout for ergonomics, myself...
I don't think terms like "Fuck-ups" or "screwed" should belong in corporate communications, start-up or not.
It's cool they are talking about this openly, but unfortunately what I took from their write-up is that their communication style is less than professional.
I don't care what language they use, personally. However I am at work and having the F-word in 72pt font blaring from the top of my browser made scroll down very quickly. I doubt my bosses would be thrilled to see that.
It pays awesome and is easy work. If the handbook prohibited saying the word "zucchini" under penalty of dismissal I'd happily strike the word from my vocabulary.
Sorry, fuck-up is an acceptable professional term now. A fuck-up is an error that is so bad that from CEO to customer, there is no sense in calling it anything other than what it is. Send 10 emails at once to a customer? Sorry, we fucked up. Lose 25% of revenue for several months? Sorry, CEO, I fucked up. It is an admission that you have made an error that will happen less than once a year and hopefully only once a career.
