Ryanair's completely right, even with the tone. Meanwhile the Hungarian state media pretends being outraged and surprised(!) about Ryanair's decision of passing down taxes on consumers. This country's a joke.
The narrative broadcasted by local (state owned) media is still that Orban is protecting people from evil corporations making "extra profit" (that's how they keep calling it, no matter how stupid and meaningless it is) with these nonsense laws and he won't let companies getting away with passing down these new taxes on consumers. Obviously he cannot do anything about it, not even with Hungarian entities.
Sounds exactly like the debate in Sweden in the 80's. They even used a very similar word.
They even went so far as implementing a system where extra profit went into a separate fund that was going to buy shares of the company. An interesting way to take over companies by the state. Thankfully the project was stopped before it was fully implemented.
With LinkedIn it's a bit of both. The number of new jobs (last 24 hours) is collected by scraping but we do zoom into countries to make sure the data is correct.
Track you calories and start small in terms of exercise.
Eating, drinking: track everything. In my experience it does the trick on its own. What you're aiming for is caloric deficit, so don't overcomplicate it. If there's a diet that works for you, great. If not, just analyze your intake from time to time and you will come up with your own diet automatically.
Exercise: depending on your current level of fitness, I'd strongly suggest taking small steps. Changing your diet while getting started with running and 1-hour workouts three times a week sets you up for failure. If you haven't been active before, aim for N steps of walking a day. That's it.
Be patient, the first results will show in 2-4 weeks.
"Gartner estimates there are over one million IT professionals in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, with one-quarter (250,000) working for consulting or outsourcing firms.[...] It can take decades to create a technology hub as strong as Eastern Europe’s and it has become an essential digital link in the business needs of start-ups and Fortune 500 companies, but what is being called “digital geopolitics” now threatens its accomplishments."
I routinely travel with a single small bag and disagree with the primary claim of this site: that a packing list is needed to travel light. Sure, it is useful in other ways such as not forgetting things. But to me packing light is as easy as not bringing things I don’t need. You could just ask yourself if you really need something every time you pack it. If this question wouldn’t work, I can’t see how applying the same logic in list form would perform any better.
If you are anxious about traveling, then you are likely to over prepare for every scenario you think you might encounter. It is difficult for someone in this situation to do what you suggest because the asking whether something is really needed will result in "yes" because it is there to solve a situation they have anxiety about.
Without a coping mechanism for the anxiety, it is difficult to change the packing behavior. Having a friend review items with you is going to be much more effective because they can have that back and forth about whether the situation is likely or not. This situation is something people discover with their partners when they travel for the first time. Initially, it is tolerated, but as the relationship progresses it becomes more of a challenge either through travel constraints, or requirements for joint packing.
If you are anxious about traveling, then you are likely to over prepare for every scenario you think you might encounter.
That was the conclusion I came to on a motorcycle trip to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, which travels down the 400-some miles of the gravel haul road. Everything I had, and everything I needed, fit within the two saddlebags, the duffel strapped to where the passenger seat used to be, or the tank bag. No shit bungied to seat backs and saddlebags, just a nice, clean look. Were I out for two weeks or two years, didn't matter, I could live off that bike indefinitely with what I had.
And then there were the Jed Clampetts[0] of the motorcycle world, with stuff strapped everywhere, and little bags strapped to the frame, spare tires hanging off the back. I saw more of those than I did those that IMO did a more reasonable job of packing. Having spoken with a few around the campfire, my experience says that the hard-core experienced riders pack about like I do (editor's note: mikestew is NOT a hard-core rider, though he is experienced). Newer folk don't know they're not going to need it on that 2 year old BMW, so they pack it just in case the ABS module does go out.
I think life experience is a factor, though I'm a bit scant on anecdata for that one. Ever go backpacking? More than once? You might be a light packer. Most adventurous thing you've ever done is stay in a Motel 6 instead of a resort hotel? You might be attached to those two carryons and 125 litre checked bag.
In conclusion, yeah, "just pack less" doesn't work for a lot of folks. That might change later, or it might not. But in the meantime, a checklist constructed in conjunction with another traveller can set the constraints necessary to keep the imagination running wild with what might be needed.
If you travel a lot, it can also work to have one or two small pre-packed kits that contain various electronics, repair items, OTC medications, earbuds, etc. I'll adjust my electronics kit some--like I'll take out my presentation clicker if I'm not presenting. But basically I have a travel pile and I mostly just grab some things from that pile and toss them in my bag.
I've been doing something similar with all "software engineer" job posts for the last 10 months: https://devquarterly.com/insights/trends
Interesting to see the trends on YC are pretty much the same as they are on linkedin, indeed and glassdoor.
