The important point is not with rails, but with local public transport (s-bahn, metro, buses, streetcars, ...), and that the tariff zones are basically eliminated with that. iE in hamburg where I live, a monthly subscription costs around 12

Very much this I think. Actual Senior devs (10+ years, fullstack from react down to AWS or bare metal, leadership xp, even DevSecOps skills, …) and offers below 100k are simply a joke. Of course these 500k+ compensations of SV are not usual

For me it seems that some people really want to have that recession happening, even though there is no actual reason it must happen organically. Like, some media and investors really want to talk everyone into having a recession, that might

well to be fair, _large scale_ storage is also far from being a solved problem. Renewables are already exceptionally good to create energy and even getting more efficient… but the „on-demand“ part is the difficult one. Fusion might just be

AFAIK this is the proof that engineering has figured it out to have real stellarator fusion energy become a reality. Stuff works. It can keep plasma going for minutes as you wish. Now its the task of scaling I guess? I have hope that fusion

1. The windows phone was actually well put (and I liked metro UI, as an apple person!), but suffered horribly from low population + tons of shit in their "app store" - iE: it was actually hard to find a non-scam facebook app! 2. M

No question that of course other taxes are needed with the explicit goal to take it away from billionaires. Nevertheless, income tax is still needed, too. Usually it is designed progressive so that the lower income spectrum barely pays anyt

Taxes don’t really have to be fair or just. In German, the noun for „tax“ is the same as the verb for „steering“ even! In Order for our societies to work in practice, taxes are needed. What to tax and by how much is up to political debate…

I never said I like all their products, but you just described how microsoft absolutely nailed the enterprise business here. > use their crap for 25 years. This is the status quo and no one complains too hard because they assume this is

the only thing nowadays we can depend on from google: - products: will be buried in the graveyard soon, so NO - tech: might get abandoned or rewritten at any time (angular JS anyone?), so NO - trying to make adblockers and privacy tools har

Microsoft has proven skills in building/launching/supporting products, and clear capabilities to cater things into the enterprise/B2B market, including customer support for all levels. Google lacks all of this, and all their

at least the "too much money" part will probably stop soon, with social commerce + chatbots eating into search revenue

The US became a powerhouse because the previous world centres (Europe, Asia) was busy with warfare. Without actual competition and societies craving quite everything after the wars, it’s quite easy to siphon profits.

That’s not how division of labor works actually. Also, everyone may decide what to spend their money on, be it on vacations, hobbies, goods or … having stuff delivered.

I am willing to pay the workers accordingly? Explicitly stated that. I don’t get it why convenience _has to_ translate into agony for someone else.

Well, if I owe my bank 1 million dollars, I have a problem. If I owe the bank 1 billion dollars, the bank has a problem.

Yes. Getting what you want when you want it does not necessarily mean cheap exploitation. We „only“ need to stop shareholders siphoning money and redirect that wealth back to the workers instead. Worst case the working class would have mone

Actually, yes. For example Edeka (German supermarket chain) increases prices when ordering significantly as well as adding a base fee for shipping. This roughly adds 30%-50% compared of buying the same things in the same store manually. Sur

one point I definitely will give to microsoft: they are willing to support some aging tech until the very end, so I would have much more trust to build on a Microsoft product now instead of any google tool/product that is most probably

I think the 168$ per knowledge worker will be paid by the companies instead, with some free excepmtions like university/school programms to get the kids hooked into the tech

to be fair, looks like we can circumvent the issue by leapfrogging into faster-than-light speeds. I've seen somewhere that real (albeit tiny) warp bubbles were achieved in a lab recently, so its not too far off into SciFi land... proba

While I do agree with the sentiment of the article and that all these workers should be paid a good living wage (especially the ones labelled essential during covid!)... I love on-demand everything. There is no way I ever will go back to do

alright, so to shorten this discussion and jump right at the important next steps for us: what is the next place after github to go to with our open source projects? Is it even something without "git" but something else?

yeah, so apple designing the frontend for a bing+chatGPT powered search API would be ideal then? I'd pay for that actually

Technically, this is a success right? Since brexit was all about curbing people/goods going to britain, which should lead to some imaginary benefits that still have to materialize somehow? AFAIK a nation can only increase wealth/w

this is how I generally perceive humans. some of them had a much higher exposure to topics (= learning cycles) and once proper abstractions are cached in the brain it feels like "understanding it" - which means being perceived as
