WWU has a pretty math heavy curriculum (although there are now less rigouros math courses for Informatikstudenten) and you will learn a lot of abstract thinking, computational theory, optimizations, operating systems, databases (with theore

Any domain you are especially interested to work in? Robotics, finance, media, sports, health?

That is true, but we have heard many of these stories that could only be resolved by using HN. How many more stories are there, that we don't here about because the affected people don't know HN? At some point it becomes a pattern

It‘s interesting for HN because on this site are many potential customers. I have a finished Stripe integration in addition to app store sales but at this point I might need alternatives

We get to hear this again and again. Makes you really think whether to use Stripe and I am tipping to no. Too big business risk at this point.

Am I the only one who thinks $424k/employee is quite a lot? May be a too european perspective?

SEPA is transparent for authorities though. Ethereum and Bitcoin are transparent on transactions but intransparent on beneficial owner. Who is Satoshi?

Ummm no? Two weeks ago I saw a guy trying to steal a bike and called the police. Three police cars arrived within 3 minutes and they tried to find him for at least 30 minutes based on my description.

So cycling is high-status because most people do it? I can assure you that has nothing to do with high-status. You just can‘t break down everything into status-games.

Because?

Thank god I‘m not living in a city with money as a first value. People would look down on you here for taking a car to your job if you can use a bike.

Ah sure the CDU-Gazprom connection, who doesn‘t remember? (the left is equally corrupt as the liberals/conservatives)

It‘s good. The fees are just too high because they abuse their market power.

This is more like target locking in half of all customers unless they pay a big fee and give up everything they ever bought there. After gaining control of all customers they take huge chunks of all product revenues. See, you can go to Walm

I feel like Apple is a much stronger offender than Spotify. You can literally not use billions of devices on this planet for your app* if you don't send something like a 25-50% cut of all your possible profits (15-30% of revenue(!)) to

I've read that you may be in Germany? If that's true: why do you have zero holiday balance?

Congrats on launch. Do you develop apps on the side or do you make a living with them?

Yes, my cancer was discovered pretty early by pure chance in a CT for an unrelated issue. I had zero symptoms, was really fit and pretty much never sick. Who knows how long it would have had time to mutate and grow otherwise. Early detectio

Does anyone know about updates on mRNA treatments for cancer? I had big hopes after the impressive corona-virus vaccines. I know BioNTech is investing heavily but not much has changed since then?

While this is true I‘d still like to see a source. Those numbers are hard to believe. I‘d guess it would take at least 5 years to recover $-costs, which is still good
204.
by JanSt 4y ago
One year? With ROCE like that these things would be build everywhere and GE wouldn‘t downsize. Do you have a source for those numbers?

In Germany we have massive wind and solar capacity (120GW) and phased out nuclear. Energy prices have constantly risen to above 35c/kwh and our dependeny on gas grew. At the moment it‘s above 55c/kwh for new contracts. We still ha

The same group presented a report asking for $1tn in 2019. They come up with this whenever they need a distraction or same angry voters.

This comes up every few years (2017, 2019,..). PiS loves anti-german sentiment and it seems to help them with internal politics.
