Well, I'm banking on an oversupply which makes production cheaper by making my team build up chip design knowledge, so we have some designs ready when it happens. If not, FPGA dev skills will still be super useful for our work.

I'm pretty sure I hadn't a single one since I'm in Munich (2009). I remember some planned outages as kid at my parents place, and occasionally we tripped the circuit breakers. I guess Munich has a really good grid. Everything

No clue if this is even remotely true, but here is what I think: the most successful companies can basically pick and chose from a really large set of applicants. Given this luxury, the can, in essence, filter by any kind of metric they wan

I never said that Germans are perfect or that they don't criticize other European countries. I am in fact Austrian, we are the number 1 nation in Europe when it comes to bashing Germans. So I also don't know how I can play victim,

There is a lot of pressure put on Germany right now regarding SWIFT. The exclusion from SWIFT will hit Germany hard, as it will also mean the end of gas delivery. The resulting outages, rising gas prices, the profiteering of the new gas ven
