Duh, I work in tech in Europe myself. Look at the stock market, look at exit returns, look at employment rates, look at salaries, look at dividends, look at the number of startups. EU tech sector sucks compared with the US. It's not ev

I really haven’t written anything about Uyghurs specifically. I only corrected your mistaken assumption that genocide must necessarily involve the killing or physical extermination of people. It doesn't even require to be successful at

I agree with all the criticism, but I'd like to point out that this kind of study must be done in a way that doesn't discriminate any of the students. It might even be considered unethical to withhold a tool that would be already

You are right in the literal sense of "burning fat" = oxidation of triglycerides. I'm used to a more figuratively use of the term in weight loss discussions, referring to "losing body fat", which is the result of to

I was referring to (mostly) internal projects in "German Mittelstand". Some of them with external partners. Customers might have the same problem, though, if they rely on the expertise of a single specialist. Regular customer supp

What are you talking about? I was referring to German companies where we don't have proper holiday replacements for internal projects, as well as for those with external partners.

I had my first flip phone at the age of ... 12! And I can definitely see myself replacing my iPhone 12 with something like that once its battery has died. I don't need 99% of functionality of a smartphone, because I own (and carry alon

Which Speech-to-Text is used? Is it possible to configure it? This might be crucial for supporting languages other than English - the model that comes built-in with macOS fails completely for German.

Is it even possible to win the game? I've played it 100 million times in a monte carlo simulation and even applied two heuristics to hit a winning strategy: 1. heavily over- or under-weighted choosing tractor production when paid tasks
