Hmmm I'm a data scientist and regularly run/train various deep learning models for my job using a 3gb 1060.

Not saying that more than 4gb isn't necessary for many applications, but it's far from useless!

This is about Singapore though?

I'm actually in the process of leaving!

Moving to London recently was an eye-opening experience. I came from Frankfurt (one of the most expensive German cities), yet finding a place was astronomically harder and in the end we pay around twice what we did for a similarly located (but smaller!) flat.

In general most housing seems to be much worse quality as well. Our current place is actually quite nice and feels very solid/well insulated, but many places that I viewed (or briefly lived in) were really run-down, poorly insulated, or clearly just poorly-built.

I'm not sure if it is one of the causes, but we were also looking into buying a place here and found that owning (and presumably building) anything other than single-family houses is a bit of a clusterfuck (here in England at least, I've heard it's better in Scotland) with the whole "leasehold" system.

Having looked at this, they have a few things that aren't quite right. But that's not surprising given how tough it is to compare countries that define things differently.

I've only lived recently in Germany and the UK, so I can speak for those, but for example the "maternity" comparison is very skewed because of the (admittedly confusing) way that Germany defines "paid time with your child after they are born". There are basically two phases to it, with different names and conditions. The first is the 14 weeks of 100% pay which is listed on the website, but afterwards there is what's called Elternzeit ("parents time") which is partially paid (starts at 65% if I remember right) and is at least 14 months, but can be extended with slightly different conditions.

So the vast majority of the benefit is not being included in this comparison.

The only time i ever got overtime back as holiday leave was in Germany. That was great!

I think I had something stupid like 43 days off that year (including the base 6-weeks)

Another reason it can be tough is that certain metrics are defined differently between counties.

Many metrics will list the UK a having one of the highest holiday allowances in Europe since legally full-time workers are entitles to 28 days off, however the UK includes Bank Holidays (8-9 days) in this total. For comparison, a country like Austria has a minimum of 5 weeks holiday (25 days) but this is IN ADDITION TO state holidays (of which there are 13, but some will be on weekends so the absolute amount varies year to year). Centrally this end up with everyone in Austria having something like 33-34 days off.

I've yet to see a list that accounts for this, so most have the UK right near the top. I would bet that this metric is no different.

Yeah, we moved from Germany to the UK a year or so ago and are about to move back pretty much specifically because of this.

Maybe it's just London, but here there is a really prevalent "hustle culture" and everyone is doing things like joining work calls during their holidays or not having a lunch break and then working 9 hours anyways.

Not to mention you get less holidays and things like being sick or maternity leave are terrible headaches in comparison.

So all in all, for us at least its been a shock! Ib would be interested to know what metrics they are using for work-life balance, because it likely doesn't match what I would choose.

Steht für "Ex-Yugoslavia", also entweder aus Jugoslawien oder den Ländern die daraus entstanden sind.

Honestly, I agree with this completely. I got into private trackers earlier this year and after a couple months just quit. On public torrents I have a seed ratio over 5.0, since I have gigabit upload and just like giving back, but private trackers just ended up being a pain.

Having to manage ratios was a pain. Having to build your ratio with freeleech was a pain. I never had a single torrent get a positive ratio. To top it off, I didn't even find the selection to be much better than public trackers.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I tried 3-4 and then just gave up. Too many rules and not enough reason to use it.

Spaceteam has to be the most realistic star trek simulator, right??

I actually think the opposite. Moves like this are part of a slow transition towards one of the awkward "basically a non-voting member but the population takes pride in not being a member" situations like we see with Norway or Switzerland
