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.
