Even at big music festivals, mobile networks are usually totally overloaded just by the sheer amount of people logged in at the same time, without even doing anything. Even recieving an SMS can take minutes. I don't assume they would d

Meanwhile in Germany I feel we are a decade behind the US when it comes to accepting electronic payments. In Berlin there are so many Bars/restaurants that are "cash only" when the next ATM (that is a partner of your bank, ot

That might be true but op was just claiming that the number of self taught people in theoretical physics is non zero.

I am in kind of a similar situation. Was never really good or into math during school, been a software developer for 10+ years (mostly backend and web stuff) and at 34 am now working on my calculus and linear algebra after spending some mon

As developers we are really fortunate that we often don't have to put up with this shit, but i have some designer friends (mostly fashion) where the job market isn't nearly as good and they have to go through shit like this all th

At one point in the video they mention that this is what happened to the only Buran that actually was in space. The ones in the video were never completed/in service it seems.

SoundCloud is one of Berlin's prime examples when it comes to it's startup credentials, so them stumbling is really hard to see for someone working in the city.

420 is total employee count, only a fraction of that (i believe substantially below 100) are devs, which for a site of that size is adequate i guess. They also have quite a few engineers working with the data instead of product development.

Google had and has a lot of Java, see GWT. It might not be hip anymore, but its still widely used in a lot of backend environments.

By leaving earlier i meant the job as a whole, because on average people that tend to isolate themselves from the team are less invested in the vision of the product and the team, which is why founders usually do these crap events (which i

getting the pollution out of the cities with electric vehicles would be a significant step and then reducing the dirty energy percentage more and more over time.

Sorry, but you did not get the point op was making. None of those you mentioned are production cars like the Tesla, they are test mules. The point of op is correct, he/she is not talking about modded research cars.

I don't know, to me $9B seems like a lot of money for a glorified IRC client built on web tech. Sure, you don't pay for the tech, but in the end you can do a lot with that kind of money. Elon Musk sold his first two businesses to

Senior dev salary in Berlin is 60-80k EUR, >40% taxes. Compared to SF and London, rents are still cheap though. 2BR can be had for 700-1000 depending on quality and location. I saw a post from Buffer where 60k in Berlin equal 120-130k in

I'd argue that a lot of terrorists don't care. They want to do it themselves, die in the process and be glorified by their own. Otherwise they would probably just hide bombs somewhere to detonate them instead of strapping them ont

i actually live in Berlin too and while Summer 2016 wasn't that bad, i remember suffering a lot in the 2015 summer heat in an office without AC. And that wasn't just a few days, it was weeks at a time.

While i agree, not sure about 1) Germans use debit cards everywhere, it's just that credit cards are used very rarely but also accepted very rarely which is probably due to some fees that make it not worthwhile, while in the US you cna
