Everywhere I worked in North America (USA and Canada) paid bi-weekly.

Everywhere I've worked in Europe (Germany and UK) paid monthly.

I would guess that this is just a difference in norms

Doubtful, given that Dendi is Ukrainian...

But now that I think of it, he's a Russian speaking Ukranian so maybe he WOULD be their first choice...

Interestingly, in europe this seems to vary by country!

I was just thinking that I wasn't sure which was correct, but it seems both are actually acceptable in Germany although after the number is preferred

Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb

I had these during kindergarten (in the 90s) in the US, but they replaced them with cartons by the time I got to first grade.

Which is good because none of us 5 year Olds could operate them

Good point, it did mention US in the title

I'm going to guess you mean New Hampshire in the USA?

Where I live (London) things are virtually cashless. Nearly everything is just paid for be contactless. I basically never have coins and it would be a huge hassle to get them.

I love it, honestly.

Depends heavily on the disability. For, for instance, blind people, the day cars were banned would be the best day of their lives!

The best was when you heard how the Professors got their job back in the 70s-80s.

They generally just finished a PhD and were given a position!

The real answer is that there is currently an AI arms race (mostly) between Google and OpenAI.

The way that the modern internet economy works is that the winners generally take the majority of the market and everyone else takes the scraps.

I work in machine learning and have spoken with some of the Google engineers about it recently. They said that when ChatGPT blew up last year, it sent shockwaves through the whole company. They had thought that they were ahead on AI, but suddenly realised that they were WAY behind.

Now they are putting a ton of effort into trying to push new models and uses because they are worried about becoming the "Bing of AI" rather than the "Google of AI"

Depends on the country though as well. Its probably pretty easy to figure out for big ones like the USA, but in smaller countries its often a mess...
