I have used all three and none of them "breaks 10% of the time". Why would it? Of course, these tools are more lightweight and lack the advanced scheduling, monitoring and robot distribution features ("Orchestrator") tha

For web automation Selenium IDE is easier and more robust than UIPath. And for Windows automation in general there are many tools like e. g. AHK, Sikuli or UI.Vision that combine Selenium features with RPA features. And they are free, open-

7 year old egg (but in hindsight good for the world). They pushed her out, so she went to BioNTech. There she helped to create the world's first Corona vaccine: https://biontech.de/sites/default/files/201

I am curious what kind of problem had or have your friends? Usually it is quite straightforward to get citizenship in Germany. Have a job for 7 years and no criminal record, and you can apply. Source: The (formerly) foreign colleagues I kno

I am not sure why this post gets downvoted. I had the same feeling when reading this article. I would expected better from WSJ.

The neat thing is that any foreigner can study any subject at any University in Germany for almost free . The only drawback here is that obviously most classes are in German, so knowledge of the "awful German language" (Mark Twai

Nice website, but I wonder how this competes with on-premise RPA tools like the iMacros or UI.Vision browser extensions? Does it offer anything beyond what these tools offer for free? If so, what is it? I am missing this info on the websit

So just because a company has a patent on "X", say some very specific mRNA stuff, it has to disclose all its other non-patentable production secrets? That seems unreasonable.

"corrupt politicians"... really? Do you have any examples of large scale corruption inside EU? I don't. I think the majority of EU politicians are doing fine.

Well, fwiw, the inventor of the mRNA vaccine idea, Ingmar Hoerr, thinks side effects are very unlikely, since the mRNA molecules dissolve after a few days. He has been working on this for 20 years, with no serious side effects ever observe

"many many"... I doubt that, but if so, that would be interesting reading. Do you have any numbers and examples? I know some of BMW's early electric car team went to China, after BMW stopped the development. But anyone else?

But even if a Tesla is stolen, I assume it is useless(x) to the thieve as it can be remotely disabled, or? (x) useless as a car. It can be only used for spare parts and whatever is left unattended inside the car.

The keyword here is "...Under certain conditions,...". Probably this means on the high-way only, while driving less than 50km/h... e.g. during a traffic jam. City road Level 3 would require plenty of testing that will not go

Exactly this. I tried so hard to like it (since I paid for it), but I have found 0 good uses cases for it. I would assume that macOS sends at least some basic usage data for the touch bar back to Apple HQ. I wonder how often it is actually

This is a sad day for the European car industry. It seems everyone except (maybe?) VW has given up on competing with Tesla and Google on self-driving.

It can not compete with cloud services from Abbyy, Google, OCR.space and others. But it runs locally and is open-source. It works for sparse text on images, and for that specific use case it is better than Tesseract.

Thanks for being honest. I get your point. But in other words, you reject equally qualified candidates just because they are older. So the old guy has to be _better_ then the young guy to get hired. That pretty much confirms what the OP s

Same here. I use different Chrome and Firefox profiles for different tasks. One for work, one for banking, one for news+HN,..., and last but not least one for fully automated tasks with the kantu browser macro extension.

I think most commercial extension authors would be happy to pay 99US$/year to get real support when they need it. Just like in the iOS app store.

Technically interesting, but why would I use this over one of the many full page screenshot or "Print to PDF" browser extensions? That is what I use when I want to archive something.
