instead of just paying workers more, it's habitual for french companies to either provide a free meal or to provide workers with a coupon worth 50-60% of the value of a meal in a restaurant, and there are several competing meal-ticket networks so the ticket your employer issues you might not be redeemable in your restaurant of choice

Yeah, that's not really how it works.

If you're on a CDI contract, which is less than 10% of hires.

Sagebrush posted:

Except for dental, eye care, certain specialist treatments, palliative care, old age care, and a long list of other things. Also, to get the "free" part you've got to jump through administrative hoops that are becoming increasingly tight. Which still don't make it 'free' since there's a minimum that the state or will not pay no matter what.

If you're on a CDI contract... And employers discriminate pretty severely against women who are likely to have a child soon when they're hiring.

Sagebrush posted:

free university tuition
If you want to go to a lovely university. Or if you are one of the about 200 accepted into the elite state-run schools, in which case it's free. Well, free if you agree to work for the state for 10 years post-graduation at far below your market wage. (Yes, you will be sued for not respecting this contract.)

The 'basic living stipend' is less than the average student's rent.

I got an iphone 5 while the 6 was out cause at the time I had no idea whether there'd be another reasonable sized phone again. SE is probably a good phone and I'm glad Apple realises that maybe there are still people out there looking for phones, not small tablets masquerading as phones/bombs.

We're in the business of extending man's senses.
my old version of hangouts is telling me it can't connect to google. the motherfuckers disabled it.

does anyone at google actually care what the customers think of the product? looking at people's responses to the hangouts update, I found maybe one or two that were positive and hundreds of negative responses.

It was working perfectly fine yesterday. This is just someone being a prick.

i started going through it with developer tools and it started working again so i'm changing by opinion from "prick" to "busted". it looks like google's web response to the extension was sending it a js file that ended too soon and it was spitting out syntax errors every time it tried to connect



edit: yep the script from that url I loaded two minutes ago just ended on line 59 after "return b" and the new one is 524 lines long instead of 59.

i'm glad they fixed it i guess but if it ever stops working for real i'm switching to yakyak, or another messaging service entirely
