It can’t be better written!!! One of my side gigs is a small rental property development. I do it with my mom. She does administration, I fund it from my salary/do actual work when I can. So 2 generations joined forces to help the youn

Absolutely no hustling culture in Germany. Getting job at Siemens or BMW or VW group is equal to the great exit for one billion $. And staying there for few decades. Personally I like it safe too. And the digital culture in general. Fax is

Aluminium and titanium can be sourced from other sources. And they don’t depend on complex pipelines for delivery. It will be more expensive for sure.

It’s not the president putin. It’s corrupt Germans who took russian money and build insane dependency on cheap russian gas. Now the card house is falling apart and the general population must pay the price. My gas bill increased by ~2,8x. O

I don’t think, that Germans are capable of anything. Shitty railway tunnel in Munich needs 30 years for construction. The tunnel between England and France needed 6 years in comparison. There are no zoning laws, just big hole with lots of c

I don’t agree. All of my cars consumed ~8 liter petrol/diesel for 100 km. Electric vehicle of the same size needs less than 25 kwh. I agree, that using that very special 250 kW ionity charger petrol car is cheaper. But it’s extreme cas

Maybe in the past your explanation was true. Looking particularly at Munich I must admit, it’s less and less welcoming city. 15 years ago it was doable to find a room or flat in the range 300-400€. Now double that with almost unchanged sala

I wouldn’t charge at night in a house with old wiring. 11 kW is a lot of power. Fire risk might be really high.

I am a foreigner in Germany. I am very xenophobic and with extreme right views. Because I know many other foreigners who have almost full time jobs milking Germany’s social system. I didn’t calculate very exact numbers, but 2/3 of my e

Russians have good experience destroying cities: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Grozny_(1999–2000) they don’t know what war crimes are. Only victory matters and dead do not complain.

3,7 kW extension cords are very normal in Europe. Of course, only brand names can do that. Asian manufacturers cheat and do 2-2,5 kW cabling. With 3 phases 11 kW is also no big deal. Older equipment had this type of interface. Modern tools

That’s the real life. People do not want to believe, that they are only rows in HR tables. And mostly are shocked after being fired despite blood and sweat invested in an average position over few years.

No, but the journalist needed to create some content. Here you go, it’s written. I really can’t connect RISC-V and the fact, that I can’t buy some digital and analog components. There is no processor in voltage regulators, PHY, nor in ADCs&

I am pretty sure, that if you have a product guy waiting for you to code you don’t need the product guy. If you can code it, you can sell it and keep that 50% share. At some time building stops and one enters bug fixing/feature impleme

Hi, I have similar calculations, but Germany has a simpler model installing 800 W solar system without any paperwork for one electricity meter. Produced but not consumed electricity is not paid for. However it covers most use cases. It work

How often are you driving more than 300 miles a day? For me it’s 4-6 times a year. Otherwise I take a plane. I can live with one 20 minute charging stop for each journey. The electric vehicle model variety today is amazing. From luxury Luci
