Foldable phones really have no appeal for me. Maybe I have to use one to get the appeal, but seeing the prices I'll be waiting for a while. They don't do anything that non-foldable phones don't, so they can't be sold as a productivity booster.

It is surprisingly low even for a middle-class profession, especially when comparing to neighboring countries with lower cost of living.

The changing regulations over time add to the complexity.

At least the US has cheap energy. Germany has high taxes, high energy prices and still manages to be dirty while being morally arrogant.

Merkel had no strongly held positions, that much we all know.

Germany hasn't learned a thing. https://www.rbb24.de/politik/beitrag/2023/07/berlin-verkehr-...

All that most Germans want to do, is to drive in their SUVs and park everywhere. That is what they vote for. Meanwhile they vote against nuclear (I'm scared) and wind (Verschanden meine Landschaft)

There was a very good article on HN about how nuclear reactors only seem to have gotten harder to plan and execute in Western countries since the 1980s due to ever-increasing regulations. Building a nuclear reactor doesn't have to take decades.

NIMBY has a strong tradition in Germany.

Meanwhile in Berlin, the incoming government decided to half the amount earmarked for building and maintaining bike lanes. Climate change is the last thing on the German government's mind, no matter what they claim.

I once took an 8% drop in pay to have stock options worth more than that. Suffice it to say, the stock options never materialized. I should have stuck to my guns and asked for what I was asking for with the stock options on top.

Exploding offers suck. Not much you could do about it aside from knowing the culture beforehand and having a number you're not willing to go below. Even the recruiter didn't give you any hints, that's on them.

Metal halide (MH) bulbs have been used for a long time now in street lighting, low-pressure sodium vapor (LPS) was just one of the first applications of the technology. Metal halide has a much whiter/bluer light and covers more of the spectrum than LPS.

I do believe though, that LEDs for such industrial applications don't or shouldn't suffer the same issues as the little LED bulbs we buy for the home, due to better QC and construction.

Investors don't take kindly to being duped. Elizabeth Holmes can tell you more.

No, its because underride guards are mandated in many parts of Europe. In Germany, for example, roundabouts are far less frequent than normal turns.

The crux of the problem right here. Modding is ultimately a power trip, and no mod wants to give up their power. A "head mod" of a popular subreddit wouldn't just join a random lemmy where they can't assert their power.

And your support for this assertion is...?

> Well, I don't think that's best for you, and I'm going to replace some of those results with 4.1 star Caribbean food restaurants that you'll like instead.

If only. Its more like "these are the businesses that have paid me. They don't match what you want, but tough cookies."

Same with the much vaunted Amazon and Netflix recommendation engines. They stopped recommending stuff that you would like a long time ago, around the time everyone was trying to copy their recommendation engines, and started recommending stuff that makes the company more money.

And where Technology can't reach, regulation and lobbyists are there for!

Wow

The same designers who are designing your web and app experience will also design your AR and VR experience.

The first popular (heavily marketed) Android phone in the US (Moto Droid) as well.

Every social network goes through this. You used to be able to access Facebook via other front-ends as well, same with Twitter.

This will cut down drastically on my reddit usage, and for that I am thankful. I don't have the Facebook or Twitter apps on my phone, and only use them from Firefox in Private mode when I do get the urge to check them.

Big difference between immigrants as the US sees them and the way Germany sees them. The US doesn't have a social safety net to speak of for immigrants, Germany does for refugees. Nobody is complaining about the Indian IT workers or EE truck drivers when they say "immigrants."

Chomsky is a writer. He is probably scared out of his wits that his job will be taken over by a bunch of transformers.

That's the point, to make you quit so that you won't come back and sue them. Risk management.

Exactly. Have a barebones screen on the front or no screen at all, and make it cheaper. I get that they want it to be premium, but it doesn't need an expensive high-refresh OLED screen for both screens!

It would only take a couple of terrorist incidences on the train to make the experience as painful as flying already is.

Nice...

This POV stopped being cool 2 years ago, fyi

He realized the noclip cheat didn't work in the Metaverse.
