The money paid by the government is based on the net salary and is tax free (I think with so called "Progressionsvorbehalt", which means it increases your tax rate just like any other income, but the tax rate is only applied to th

But the average netflix subscriber? I maybe watch one movie per week or biweekly, and netflix currently is the cheapest way to get that. Previously it was video rental at 10-20% the price, but of course I had to walk around the block and re

It's called illusory superiority.

If that were the case, then why are we moving away from fossil fuels to renewables at all?

You are confusing net and gross salary.

In Germany healthcare costs depend on your income. If you have no income (investment returns don't count against that), you can get monthly government payments to cover a moderate lifestyle. But if you have no labor income but sit on s

I don't think people saying that lockdowns come at a terrible cost are being labelled conspiracy theorists. That isn't even in question. The problem is that for your argument being as effective as you like it to be, you have to do

Germany's nuclear power plants are from the 70's and early 80's. How can it be backwards now? Building new plants, while it may safer today than it was back than is just not economical when compared to renewables.

I recently heard about a survey where people on average said that they do want to have 2.something (lets say 2.4, but I don't remember the exact number) kids. I guess it is easier to prevent overshooting, but sometimes life circumsta

As far as I know, the promotion to word size (now 32 bit) still happens. Also if you have more than a fixed number of params (defined by the platform ABI), parameters are still pushed on the stack. You can't push 8 or 16 bit values on

Contabo VPS: 4 Cores, 8GB RAM for 5€/mo. That should be able to handle the whole thing with plenty of room to scale. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I don't see what all those cloud providers that are so much more expensive bring to

Not to take away from your point, but you can be sure that most (almost all) companies that create non-trivial high quality software use a lot of free software to create it. This is the advantage they have. They can use their resources very

It always bothered me, that applications have to ship and load their own copy of chromium and node. I don't get the compatibility argument. After all, websites have the exact same problem to solve and do that just fine, most of the tim

Yeah, I never understood this safeguarding against bugs resurfacing after being fixed once. I only saw bugs coming back at a company that didn't use version control and instead copied source code back and forth with a USB stick. I can

I think there are good examples, where the press operating in a free market can give good results. But the more important question is, if it is equal or better at its worst (which is exactly, when this is important). Having a mix between pr

It isn't so simple. I think the federal government/parliament has to agree with the 16 state governments or so. There is a so called 'Rundfunkstaatsvertrag' (a treaty between states) governing the rules.

We have the same scheme in Germany. The reason given for the fee vs. taxes I think is the independence of public broadcasting from the government. Imagine a bully as the head of government that can threaten to defund public broadcasting, if

Is editing human embryos harder? Or how is it less difficult for a government to stop?

Such an always-alternative doesn't exist. ß was changed to ss at the end of short syllables, that is all. I think there is a rule to always use ss instead of ß (and ae instead of ä, etc.), when ß is not available. But that wasn't

If I get the guy from the originally posted video right, he uses services that do exactly that (+ also directly publish the content on their platform). And it sounds like they do it for free, to get content on their platform.

I wonder why this lesson we learnt from desktop GUI development doesn't apply to mobile apps. Seems like the preferred approach there is to use native controls.

Unfortunately I can't find data on acquisitions vs. bankruptcies. But Europe also ranks higher in new businesses per capita, although the difference seems to be less pronounced. I used total businesses because your comment seemed to im

Sounds to me like the local government tried unsuccessfully to find a way around the national government policy.

How come there are much fewer businesses per capita in America than almost everywhere in Europe, then?
