  • Real unemployment (calculated with the total number of hours worked, number of temporary workers… etc) is between 19% and 23%. It has been like this since 2008 crisis. The unemployment among youth people is 45%.

    There a many reasons, not just one. Imho it’s related to the tourism (summer season), we have few industry (full time jobs all year), unemployment benefits are very generous (there are some jobs in agriculture that are done just by inmigrants from moroco with temporary visa, the landlords don’t find Spanish people to work)



  • Stats are manipulated. 3 years ago the government changed the name of the temporary job contracts to “discontinuous permanent worker”. They are hired by a company but they only work few days or even few months a year. People with that kind of contract does not count as unemployed, even if they only work few days a year.

    Most of the workers with that kind of contract want to work a full time job but they can’t due to the high unemployment. The same as before but now the stats looks better.


  • You are rigth about HEIF, but most electronic devices already pay for the license to encode/decode HEVC.

    The camera sensor returns raw images, then there is post-processong and the last step is encoding. There are no technical limitations and it’s not hard to implement another image format. As other users commented, Google Pixel phones and some apps in Google Play already does. Btw I’m electronic + software engineer.

    My conclusion is even if the new formats are better, JPEG is more compatible and good enough for most users. Some brands take care of power users and others don’t. I’m a bit disappointed with OnePlus camera software.









  • That’s a competition problem. If its a monopoly and you just change the owner you are not solving anything. The state job must be guarantee the competition, not to run all kind of business.

    With the levels of corruption, unemployment and nepotism in Spain the less state the better., They want to run state owned business to give jobs to his familys, friends and politics. All state owned business here give really bad service and they lost hundreds of millions every year that are paid by all taxpayers, not just the users.
