The influx of developers has almost nothing to do with that. Wages in Berlin are in general somewhat lower than in Munich because Berlin is cheaper to live in.

In most cases that's not really an advantage at all. We already have a system like this: public transport. Public transport seems to be generally rather bad in the US, which might make self-driving cars seem useful but other parts of t

In the US that might be the case, that doesn't make it so in other countries. In Germany the scenarios in which you are allowed to change your name are all defined by law. While you are allowed to change your name for resocialization o

As a student of the TU Berlin myself, I feel that this has to be taken with a large grain of salt. In the first semester you learn one functional programming language, after that it's Java, C and MIPS Assembler. The functional programm

I live in Germany and changing your name here is only possible for a small number of reasons. If you have a normal name aren't marrying someone or are transgender and transitioning, changing your name is effectively impossible.

Division is a lot more expensive than the multiplication itself, checking the overflow flag after the multiplication - which OP critizes for being too slow - is going to be much faster than your check.

If this is a right you as a citizen have it will probably not require a judge at all. As this is legal stuff an email probably won't do but if you send them a letter Google probably has to comply without a judge ordering them to.
