Well you prefer punishment, Germany prefers reintegration. Destroying a persons life is a pretty good way to keep a criminal criminal.

Avoid investors. You don't need a huge team. Try to bootstrap everything, preferably on the side (can you reduce your work hours? I reduced my hours by 50%. I never had pressure to make money and developed the project for nearly two years). Spend the time building product. Automate everything else you can. Can you reach users? Otherwise think about a partner that already has an audience. I have spend $0 on anyone besides my partner (my brother, who owns his own company) and a bookkeeper (but most of payments is as simple as it gets - app store / play store. Better pay 15% fee and don't care about VAT, processing, refunds etc (and save the salary for an employee for that). But I spend on managed infrastructure (cloud serversm managed database, S3...) You can go very, very far alone. I'm the solo dev and ceo on a complex project that competes with companies with many more employees. When you start gaining users: ask every single one for feedback, questions and improvements. Build a good FAQ.

We are profitable and growing in an established market with many players.

As long as YCombinator allow users from Europe, they have to adhere to the rules. It does not matter whether there is a local entity or not, they serve European users.

If a European company provides a service to US users, they have to adhere to US law too.

Is there some kind of Auto-i18n where the function sends a request to a server if there is no localization available? The server could in turn request a translation from a service and add it to the localization files

I'm using Digital Ocean App platform, which does pretty much everything for me. It's very simple to use. I can run my app as a single developer without caring about infrastructure for 99% of the time.

Same experience for me. Very unlucky answers now.

I'm now sometimes using GPT3.5 because it produces better results than GPT4. GPT4 was amazing when it first came out for me. Either it has deteriorated or I was lucky in the beginning and am now lucky with GPT3.5 from time to time.

The individual value of an IC outside of Meta is most certainly lower than what they get paid there. The company provides so much value that it raises the ICs value inside Meta. It's win-win.

You have either not read the article or didn’t understand it. The PSÜ has little to do with the actual condition of the reactors.

This is simple not true.

You still pay teice the price for gas as before because we had 30yr low costs (below spot) contracts with Gazprom.

Please tell me again how that has to do with my root post on this thread.

but - okay, if you want to play this game - that has nothing to do with this thread: the renewables were built faster under Merkel than under the current coalition. Germany has the (one of) the highest electricity prices on this planet. The german electricity - after putting in $500bn+ - is still 5x dirtier than French electricity. We have not yet even started to build storage, which we will need a lot of. Finland, Sweden, France, Belgium and others are successfully combining nuclear power with RE. Germany is alone on this stupid quest and paying dearly for it.

There would have been NO road blocks for extending the lifetime. Westinghouse offered fuel rods which would have been delivered in time.

They had all the normal maintenance (every 2 years) and were in pristine condition, much better than most other nuclear reactors on this planet. Only the 10 year interval was pushed out, but it's just an additional check to further increase safety over the long term. No downtime would have been required, especially no multi-year downtime.

The previous government did not know that Russia was to attack Ukraine and gas flow was about to stop with all the effects on energy availability and prices.

I did not claim it is only to lower production - it's mainly due to it. Which is exactly my point.

Renewables were not actively hindered, Germany just decided to stop paying 30-50 cent per kwh in subsidies because it's stupid. Also, this is a seperate discussion.

lignite coal is the worst one, literally bringing us climate change, extremely bad air and pollution.

It's not an echo chamber but statistics: https://www.tech-for-future.de/atomkraft-umfrage/#Wie_viel_P...

That's dishonest. They had three month to reverse the decision on the first three in time of an energy crisis but refused to do it; they took another year not to switch off the next three. The decision HAD to be revised because of the energy crisis and lack of gas. They didn't.

The production has NOT been compensated. We just produce less and import more. It will take years to compensate the six reactors - a lot of time and CO2 emitted.

eagerly waiting for you to respond in German

the current coalition did massive ecological damage by not keeping the six nuclear power plants running. In 2021 they produced more energy than all installed solar combined. It would have been an easy move that would have granted us 10+ more years runway for the transformation of the heating systems. It's an illogical move to take that clean energy out and force massive costs on the people they can't really prepare for. The FDP is losing voters left and right, because they do nothing but stopping even worse politics from the coalition. They are the one thing holding back Germany from going into an unstoppable downward spiral. Germany is already rapidly losing parts of our industry, going into a recession while the burdens on social systems will soon explode. And instead of any solutions for the real problems, the SPD and Greens just want to increase taxes, driving away even more highly qualified people.

Most of the population changed their mind and is pro-nuclear. But sadly the only party really supporting nuclear energy is the AfD, which is a far-right party most would never consider to vote for.

Nuclear phase-out is part of the Green party identity; the CDU had Merkel going against nuclear after Fukushima and can't really go back, the FDP agreed, the SPD is also against it.

The reason does not really matter for the math. The record is due to lower production and not a rapid build-up of renewable energy production.

Germany also produced a multi year net electricity generation low in June.

The rise mostly results from this reduction because of the nuclear phase out.

These are not the actual numbers but an example:

June 2022: renewables 15TWh, total 40TWh = 37.5%

June 2023: renewables 15TWh, total 30TWh = 50%

In my experience I‘m better off not touching an ORM at all

Digital Ocean App Platform is really good for what I run :)

is it only allowed to live in behemoths?

I don‘t believe it was destroyed. Russia would have continued attacks ok Kiev otherwise.
