You're right, honest mistake. I checked this several times, thinking "surely there aren't two chip plants built at the same time, in roughly the same location with the same company involved?". Apparently there are.

EDIT: Apparently it's a different plant. It's not just Infineon - it's called the European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) and is a joint venture by TSMC, Bosch, Infineon, and NXP, with TSMC being the majority (70%

For the longest time their strategy was to: 1. Issue bonds at near zero or even negative yield. 2. Buy US bonds. The country is still one of the largest foreign US debt holders at $1.191T, and interest from this debt pays for a significant

According to this graph and assuming both US emissions fall and Chinese grow exponentially at the rate they were over the decade 2014-2024, the figures will cross around 2037. Personally I doubt that, as US emissions have been going up due

China does: all of the above, where it makes sense. Renewables and batteries to keep your AC, workplace EV charger, stove, pool heater and (since recently) green ammonia producer going, nuclear to prevent e.g. aluminium smelters from seizin

That's the point - a huge part of the cost of LNG is the "L". Way easier to just sell it closer to home and not bother with transporting it in a tanker which has to return empty. Demand is clearly there and not somewhere else

I originally read it as EVIL/UPDATE. Anyway, Meta, really? Just to have more of our data? For the absolutely pedestrian explicit purpose of providing more information to advertisers? This is why I don't buy into conspiracy theorie

Parents who wish to have both the child and themselves remain sane are already watching over the way their offspring uses the internet. Truth be told the worst kind of content is nominally child friendly - just incredibly addictive and over

The issue is with the price - why bother shipping LNG half the planet when one can just sell it at a significant markup domestically? When the price is right all kinds of contracts and agreements are usually thrown out the window - especial

As an (eastern) European this is to me a greater concern than the Russian invasion in terms of availability of gas for the winter, considering how so many of those places run on gas turbines. Putin only has a certain amount of the resource

I once held in my hand the main part of a ferrite core memory module from the early 70s. It was kilobytes at best. I also recall looking at recommended requirements for Dungeon Keeper 2 - 266MHz CPU, 64MB RAM and thinking "that's

Stopped reading at that point. I guess I could go over the entire thing to discover what happened to that poor guy, but why bother if the author didn't put effort?

Like others stated, it's more likely they assume you have e.g. Russian roots, as among Slavs that name is the most popular in territories where Cyrillic is the primary script. Romanian sounds way more like Italian than any Slavic langu

Seems like planting a tree there would address most of the issue. A birch growing for 5 years is already 3 metres tall and will prevent anything larger from growing around it.

True, but if you already know that a given company tends to fire on a whim, you'd be excused to feel a little bit distrustful.

A friend of mine prepared an arsenal of hooks and the like to address this and LLMs still disobey them at times. I don't have high hopes that there exists a bulletproof solution to this.

I guess the crux of the issue is that there's no guarantee that the company would not find a different, equally harebrained, reason to lay GP off.

Ultimately what kills any effort to curb this behaviour is the fact that the perpetrator can always open another account. If I was a maintainer of an open-source project, I would have a two-tier system: -PRs from previous contributors. -All

Surely you have an apartment number? Or is it like in many places in Europe, where the address is the building number and name of the recipient?

Well, not "any". -15% seems to be the magic number looking at my network and has been like that for 2 years now. They're going to flip us all like burger patties eventually - we're done on this side.

The type of money I can throw at stuff wouldn't pay a salary of a full-time dev for 2.5 years (if not more).
