Thanks for the clarifications, it's always shocking to see the amount of bullshit on hackernews (and reddit) when it comes to Germany, renewable/nuclear energy and the like. Makes me want to question everything else that is posted

No one knows where to put the trash. That was the major reason for the phase-out, that no one knew how to handle that. I'm just the messenger, don't shoot me. And please do not come up with future inventions that will magically re

It also means you become susceptible to the whims of Apple if anything breaks, is stolen or you lose it. Just imagine Google's horrid customer service and then you trying to navigate it to have a blocked account (to which your digital

Weird. Out of the four major delivery services, DHL is by far the best and most accommodating.

In physics and obviously math, mathematica is very popular.

That's the perspective of a software developer. Neither Mathematica nor Matlab actually try to address this market. Both are languages for mathematicians, scientists and engineers and are still mostly unrivalled when it comes to domain

Just join a startup, no one that I know forces their employees to return to the office. Even Allianz doesn‘t. Come join my team, people are productive and go climbing in their extended lunch break.

The difference in perspective in this thread boils down to North American (except NY) vs. European perspectives. My residential area has six floor buildings with lots of residents and ground floor shops and cafes. This setup only rarely exi

There are job seeker visa as well, so that you can travel to Germany with the intention of finding a job. I'm currently recruiting an Indian engineer and he indicated that it'll take him about 2 months to get the visa. > Genera

I would not know how to access such records. Doubt they are publicly available. Germany isn‘t perfect, but if you want to come, the blue card process is pretty straightforward. If you do python backend stuff, talk to me.
