> No one believes the "doctors and engineers" line anymore.

I always found that line to be rather interesting. German is a very difficult language and hard to master. To go about everyday life as an immigrant, you'll either need to live in a big city or somehow magically master German. Also, large parts of Germany are increasingly known for not being exacyl welcoming for people of non-german descent.

The notion that all people want to come here and highly specialized immigrants will come rushing through the door is kind of arrogant and typically ignorant. Germany is reliant of net-immigration over the coming decades if the economy wants any hope of workforce availability.

> That mantra began dying after the 2015-2016 Cologne mass attacks on women, and every new incident since then has reduced its viability. The current pro-Hamas demonstrations throughout Europe are just the latest in a long line of such.

negativity bias and media coverage are fascinating things. Not to take a way from the severity of the silvester attack, none of the issue you just mentioned is in any way representative of the average immigrant or refugee population. Even the "hamas demos" that received extreme media covereage were fairly small and peaceful on most occasions (also worth mentioning that demonstrating for piece in Gaza is not equal to demonstrating for Hamas, although there were instances).

> The Mittelstand is certainly not rushing to hire them.

That generalized and somewhat racist rant is missing one key factor: they have to and they want to. Birthrates have been in continuous decline since the 70s and now boomers are also about to completely enter their pensions. The dependency ratio for the coming decade(s) is looking bleak. Also, as a result of declining births, you people entering the workforce is very much down. if you want to survive as company, you'll need workers. If you want workers, there is a high chance you'll also have to hire immigrants and refugees. Most companies want this, the remaining hurdle isn't racism or the unwillingness to hire them, it's as always the German bureaucracy
Rather, the lack of the word "kinda" is an essential part of the doctrine.

>Negociate"?

Yes, negociate, bargain, haggle, call it whatever you want. Everyone negociates their wage, or at least tries to. Do you not where you live?

>"Wage dump" - that word again. So this is how people pick up policital slogans and start repeating them, without even thinking about how much of it is true. I don't think it is true.

What's your point? That if your boss would have 10x the number of candidates your wages and negotiation power wouldn't tank?
Correct. A fair amount of larger companies, grocery store chains, etc. in Eastern EU states are owned by German companies.
I don't think legal is always the line when considering what's right, or particularly in this case whether it's surveillance.
I have some positive experience with using this book [1] to older students, I hope you can use your smartphone to translate it from Russian. The book is very much about sets which are shown as bags. It is supposed exactly for math geniuses as I can judge. I do not think showing this book from the screen is a good idea not only because it is on foreign for you language but also because it requires student to write down in it. But you can print a few translated by you pages or maybe recreate the illustrations with a real-world examples (bricks with letters, toys of defined parameters such as color, shape, type of entity etc, arranged in clearly visible groups).

Also if you play music try to return to the very roots of our civilization and explain Math like Pythagoras did - using consonance/dissonance of two strings with defined relative thickness/length.

And please do not introduce him to smartphones! If the parents did that (which is highly likely nowadays) at least do not show the kid that you have it somewhere in your house or your effort will be wasted!

Who says this? My current understanding is do lateral flow tests. When your symptoms are gone and that is negative you're not very contagious anymore. Typically 3-7 days are the onset of symptoms in my experience.

> CI/CD, which translates into "figure out how to keep an overstaffed engineering department occupied long after they delivered the working system".

CI is only about what happens before software is delivered.

And I don't see what CD has to do with staff size.

I think you're pointing out valid problems and misattributing their causes.
Great points here.

With exception of perhaps top end of successful commercial products or some usable patents during development of technology most developers do not get any passive income no matter how much good work is delivered over decades. Everyone is just about as good as their next JIRA task completion. This all just means half-assed broken, bloated feature deliveries which is to be fixed in next scrum or whatever.
While I agree with what you are saying in principle, I do want to point out that there is a massive difference between anecdotal evidence and _research_. In a purely academic sense, it is not an unreasonable statement to make that there is no evidence. In contrast, in the opioid case there existed scientific evidence of the highly addictive nature of the drugs that was more than just suppressed, they were outright _lied_ about by the pharmaceutical company behind the drug.

> Purdue Pharma created false advertising documents to provide doctors and patients illustrating that time-released OxyContin was less addictive than other immediate release alternatives. Furthermore, they sought out doctors who were more likely to prescribe opioids and encouraged them to prescribe OxyContin because it was safer. They did this because OxyContin quickly became a cash cow for the company. (https://oversight.house.gov/release/comer-purdue-pharma-and-...)

A degree of malfeasance in the same realm as Big Tobacco's denials of the risks and addictiveness of smoking:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/big-tobacco-kept-cancer-risk-in...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2879177/

Although, perhaps could be considered worse since it occurred more recently in a theoretically more highly regulated market than mid 1900's tobacco.
In summary: I trust them no less than practically any other reputable provider.

If you look at the turbulent history of providers that won't follow court orders, it's a real bucket of fun. Not one I particularly feel comfortable building a sustainable open-source not-for-profit business on top of. Nevertheless, freedom is the heart of what we do: all our software is open-source and easily self-hostable, so if people want to go for those kinds of providers, they're absolutely able to. In fact if you're super concerned about physical security, I can only recommend hosting at home as a solution.

But that doesn't mean we're happy with what happened here. Regardless or who performed it or why, this was an attack on an essential layer of what keeps our systems secure, and that's why we're taking steps to ensure they become impossible. It's also our goal to diversify our hosting locations, to other providers and geographic regions for a number of reasons. That just hasn't happened yet, because we're still pretty small. If you have suggestions of other providers that we should be looking at, I'm very interested!

If that is the standard then I’d say it’s probably impossible to prove anything.

I think it’s extremely easy to prove that a covid infection is more harmful than the vaccine in aggregate in every demagogic.

Honestly that is probably the case even if you are only counting post-covid symptoms [1].

Averages are quite useless for this purpose.
Age is the main factor affecting outcome. The risk of death in the 70+ cohort was quite high before vaccination, but the risk in the 50+ population was also unacceptably high. Vaccines basically had the effect of shifting the curve to the right by 15-20 years, i.e. 70 years old vaccinated has the same risk as 50 years old unvaccinated.

After age, yeah, genetics, use of ACE inhibitors, coagulopathy, etc., account for a lot of the remaining risk of death.

There is a gotcha: quantitative thiamine tests are false negative most of the times. But other blood markers can be revealing: homocysteine, HOMA-IR, blood pH, lactic acid. And it's not always exclusively a thiamine, for some people it's anemia, B3, or B12 deficiencies, or a combination of those.

I worked in crypto. It seems that if you work in that industry and actually try to improve a project, the whole social apparatus turns against you. On the other hand, I've seen plenty of scam projects where the founders keep getting funding from government organizations and they just waste all the money and keep receiving more investment even though they objectively achieved nothing.

After leaving crypto, I saw opportunities dry up, people seemed to pull out of my projects for no reason, friends/colleagues I worked with closely for over 2 years stopped answering my texts, also for no reason. I also got fired for no reason after the boss had been praising my work for 6 months straight. Just a lot of weird stuff. Not sure if it's because cryptocurrency sector has stigma behind it or because of something more sinister.

Anyway, it's a mistake to think that things are good for everyone. There is a lot of nasty stuff going on behind the scenes. Many people's good fortune is built directly on the back of the suffering of others, often without them realizing.

In theory you could maybe charge a supercapacitor over time with the power from NFC and then perform the update but you're looking at at least 15x (50mW vs 750mW average update draw) the update time standing there holding the phone to the display while you trickle power over that connection. In reality with losses and extra draws to manage the screen you might not break net positive on the energy from the phone or you'd be looking at a 30-50x multiple instead of /just/ 15x.
Thanks for sharing!

Sounds kind of useful, but imho I think most people dont want more devices to carry around, to charge, run updates, and whatnot, i also dont think many people would pay 25 bucks for that kind of device.
So the market for this kind of device is probably very small. Maybe sell it as luxury item? Who knows…

Also, maybe a smart watch could be used to fullfil this feature already?
This is a somewhat ironic analogy, as Martin Luther was a deranged anti-Semite who called for the mass dispossession and murder of Jews. So, as about as irrational as the church he criticized. Protestant factions subsequently won a Europe-wide war, so he’s not remembered this way in the popular consciousnesses, but this is exactly the kind of person I would expect to decry the “scientific edifice.”

Germany usually buys from France because it's cheaper, not because they could not supply it on their own. Europe has a tightly integrated market, and everyone is covering each other, which also allows to usually buy where it's cheapest.
I've noticed this a lot in my previous work sector (real estate). I've seen many coworkers who would buy these luxury cars, paying almost $1,200/month for the payment and insurance. Mainly because it's what was "expected" of someone in that field. My brother who works in construction is paying a $1,300/month car payment and $350/month insurance for an F-150 because it's what everyone else drives, even though he's 19 and the only thing he hauls in groceries from Aldi.

I think a major culprit is our social-focused society creating this desire to keep up with the Jonses' in your social/work circles.
Sounds like the story I have heard told a few times about how companies in the 60s, and 70s would make sure they had the business card of an Amdahl sales rep on their desk when the IBM sales rep came to visit (Amdahl apparently made their business selling mostly/somewhat IBM-compatible but much cheaper mainframes.)

All I can say is general comment as a consumer / "prosumer"; I recently went looking to build out a high core count homelab server built on either RISC-V or ARM; because I wanted lower power consumption, higher core count, and, well, was interested in something non-x86 anyways. When I went looking, I found there is still nothing out there in the ARM world other than Ampere servers and that is unavailable to end consumers. We're decades into this ARM thing, but there are entire market segments where ARM looks like it'd be applicable but there are no products (ok, other than Apple). And yet I also found that RISC-V seems to be making early moves into this kind of space - e.g. I can preorder and actually buy the Milk-V SOPHON-base "Pioneer" board, which is a 64-core RISC-V board in mATX form factor I can put in my own case, etc. but nothing like this seems reasonable on the horizon for ARM. Still.

My question is: is this a product of the viability (or lack of it) of these segments/ businesses, or does it have something to do with ARM licensing?

Anyways, I'm bullish on RISC-V. I played with PicoRV32 a few years ago on hobby FPGA projects; built out my own little primitive SoC on an Artix A7 board, wrote my own little operating system, it was great fun. The openness of all this stuff is fantastic and necessary for producing innovation. I feel like the nature of RISC-V will naturally tend towards producing more diversity of products than ARM has, even if the investment environment goes through a bit of a contraction for a bit.
> SumatraPDF displays pretty much any PDF you throw at it

I often use PDF applications for documents that I want to keep for decades, including annotations I make. How much can I count on SumatraPDF, or any PDF application, outputting future compatible documents from conversions, annotations, deleting/merging/etc, content editing, etc.? Is there a difference between applications?

My instinct is to play it safe and use Adobe, figuring whatever they do is the de facto standard. But I strongly dislike the applications and all the privacy invasions they impose. (Yes, I'm aware of PDF/A; I'm talking about applications' outputs and not the standards.)
I don't work for SAP, Porsche or Zeiss. I work for a company that is rather large but rather unknown outside the geographic region it operates locations and outside the industry it operates in, thus it perfectly fits the definition of a hidden champion, but not of a SMB (Mittelstand).

Whenever I tell someone where I work, there is a 80% chance they've never heard of the company, despite there being a high chance they use one or multiple of our products.
GPD is relatively irelevant to the welfare average person as the GDP is a number that can be artificially inflated by a number of factors respectful of the average worker. Higher GDP doesn't automatically translate to higher wages and better standard of living for everyone.

You can be a tax heaven and if FAANG and big-tech corps simply use your country as a base station to funnel the sales and profits of an entire continent/economic area becasue they pay no taxes there, then your GDP will be insane but that might not mean much to your average worker who isn't getting a piece of that pie.

Germany is Europe's richest country, but that doesn't make the Germans as individuals automatically the wealthiest citizens in Europe. Think about hat for a second. In fact, when it comes to wealth, the avenge Germans net worth is significantly lower than most wealthy EU states, sometimes even on par with those form former Eastern block EU states.

It's more accurate to compare the average monthly car payment over time, not the total price of the car. The majority of people don't buy the total price, they buy the monthly payment (whether out of innumeracy or a desire to have a better car than they can really afford). I wasn't able to quickly find data, but I would imagine the rise in the average monthly payment is more in line with the rise in the CPI.
