That’s a joke. $200k is a high developer salary if you ignore the TC amounts thrown around which are due to stocks popping in the past 3 years.

Wikipedia is a non-profit foundation. $374k is a pretty damn good salary for a foundation.

The expenses for operating Wikipedia.com would be around $10m. Their $112M expenses include the sky high executive compensation, money sent to the fund, millions spent on fundraising itself, and financing a host of programs not directly r

The rating goes from 8 to 10 in practice, so 8.9 is like a 5-7 :)

The company stock actually shot up during the pandemic, from a low of $1400 to over $2200, which was unthinkable before. It’s unlikely to go higher.

Not at all. Their equity remains the same, and chances are you can stay solvent for a couple years if you own a second property. It just means they get to earn 1/30 less rent (in its original meaning) over the whole mortgage.

And that’s exactly what the face tracking feature does. That shot is a still from the wide angle cam, and not in a framing you’d normally use for video calls.

Again you’re stating something to support your worldview based purely on opinion. The German Industrial Production Index has been sitting at basically the same levels since 1979, check for yourself.

I’ve never heard of USB-C causing a fire. The control ICs should cut the current the moment anything is out of spec. Do you have any examples of that?

I think he’s saying you should disconnect before any of that happens. There is no defense against the barrage of a Twitter mob, doesn’t matter how hard you try. It also seems that the better the reputation you have, the more difficult i

What statistics? What happens in 10-30 years? You haven’t provided a single data point in the context of this conversation. The graph showing the growth over centuries is logarithmic, so that blue line going a little south is actually a ma

It’s impossible to have a sane discussion if you keep moving the goalposts. You initially ROFLed at the statement that “Germany could become power independent” and said it shows “ignorance and lack of basic math skills”. The data clearly sh

I wasn’t aiming to discuss that “galactic power” growth scenario since it’s just ridiculous. At some point that 3% compound growth becomes more energy than the entire planet consumes in a year, it’s just a dumb extrapolation like folding pa

In what timeline would you take them seriously? Why would they stop complaining if nothing has changed? Your position is illogical, you’re simply refusing to even entertain the idea that they might have a point.

So after your random-blog-post defense failed, you’re gonna completely drop the subject? I’d love to hear a proper response to the parent. Germany already produces enough renewable energy to sustain all residential use. There is no real p

If you could predict it, maybe you should consider taking that criticism seriously then instead of brushing it off as “boring”.

I’m appalled. Just because they didn’t kill anyone (yet, as one passenger is on their way to the firing squad) this should be fine? This is plain and simple hijacking of an international flight and not “within bounds” at all. Laws are to b

If the feature was only added after the backlash when everyone scrambled to hide their profiles, it amounts to nothing more than a “let’s try again next year”. A very convenient “honest mistake”. If that’s not the case, can you share the pe
