I mean the German GDP is significantly higher than French GDP, so I think the main point is that a lot of good German companies are simply not listed (read: many Mittelstand companies). But there's probably a lot more to untangle (e.g.

As a German working in IT I can say that German IT salaries simply cannot compare to FAANG. You get like 50k€ - 70k€, maybe 80k€. If you want more you have to become a freelancer. Managers and coaches earn (usually) more than developers so

Still, even as a hobby go player i think the broader point that AI usually only works in the constraints that it is designed, bears repeating. Because if journalists/scientists (and us) wouldn't do it, people would maybe start bel

I think it helps but it's hard to measure as long as the outside temparatures are not comparable to last years. I follow the diagrams for Germany and right now consumers use about 30% less than the average of 2018-2021[1]. I think many

Thanks for the article. TL;DR: The article states that she filmed her first day (!) of work at the apple office and a month later her contract was not renewed. Probably didn't ask management if she could do it...
