I might trust Apple in this specific situation but not their workers. They can cause me a lot of trouble with an unlocked iPhone. Like temporarily supplant my identity or steal pictures

My wife with Long Covid has sudden rises up to 150 while resting. Before that she had a rather low rate and she was totally healthy.

I wouldn’t rule out that a lot of people around might have some of the Long Covid symptoms like the heart issues without the severity of my wife, so they are not really sick but still suffer related problems

I think it’s intended. It keeps ”casual” users from joining. And if it bothers you there are ways to solve it.

Yes, they do work and sometimes pretty good. It mostly depends on the implementation team. SAP which is the one I know, has plenty of defects but also a lot of virtues. A good implementation and customizing team can make it run properly.

I have the impression that the Boring Company could reduce costs of subway mile significantly if they tried

But the median quality you get it’s not the same. Basically because a good amount of the top engineers move out for better salaries. As the salaries get better in India, it’s easier to find good engineers, but then the salary difference is not that much.

Tesla had around 20% margin per car compared to the below 10% (sometimes much below) of the industry.

They were ready for dropping the prices as soon as their production scaled to the point where they were not selling all they could make.

One can criticize Tesla for their build quality or service but they are doing well with pricing.

Edit: And they are doing a favor to the people like me that doesn’t want to buy a Tesla but another brand of EV. VW is already considering dropping prices of their ID3 because now it costs the same than the model 3 being an inferior segment and having less range

Seems like factoring the location is the easiest solution. If energy were much cheaper in Scotland, some factories would move there, more people would move there as well and you would not need to transport so much energy across the country.

But I guess there are more things to consider than the energy in that decision.

Yes, I was thinking the same. It will of course still be much more expensive than a flat wall but paying for a digital sculptor + a robot reproducing the work fast and repeatedly will reduce costs significantly

I think most comments ignore that Tesla is making much more profit for each car sold than its competitors. I didn’t make the math but I remember Tesla margin being around 20% while average in industry is quite below 10%.

Tesla is increasing production and keeping its margin while competitors are still having problems to catch up. Now they produce comparable EVs but still with much less margin.

Also Semi seems to be quite a game changer that will keep Tesla ahead in another market for quite a while

I think the recruiter meant 90€ as freelance and you asked 100k as permanent? In Europe de permanent contract includes a lot of benefits and a big risk for the company: holidays, unemployment coverage, sick coverage and normally other things like bonus, pension, phone and sometimes medical insurance and car (consultants).

For the rates I’ve seen first hand, 90€/hour of freelance corresponds to 70-80k hired salary

My partner had a very mild Covid (only 1 day in bed) but 2 weeks after the infection she started with the long covid symptoms.

She had oxygen drops below 80% many times a day and had problems to even talk without running out of oxygen. Pain in the chest, chronic fatigue, lack of memory + concentration and absolutely all the symptoms associated to long covid.

It has been a nightmare, the first GP was blaming her for smoking or not doing sport (both false), the second did some tests but he said nothing can be done and the tests were inconclusive.

Finally she went to a physiotherapist who saw her condition and said that no action was unacceptable. He found a physiotherapist who is specializing in long covid, he monitors her condition at muscular level, recommends some exercises and not much more because little is known. But at least he keeps up to date and investigates.

Now it’s 5 months already and she went from having the strength of a 80+ year old ill granma to a 40+ with CF… she can now walk slowly and talk without losing breath. But still her body and brain are not working even at 50% than before.

It was a difficult decision for me to spend 1.300 EUR in a Brompton, but I don't regret it a little bit. I have to admit I didn't use any alternative as a long term foldable bicycle, but after 3 years with the Brompton I don't have a single complain. Great quality, minimum weight, nice riding, fast un/folding. Everything you would expect from a portable bike.

Regarding the cost, I'm quite sure I could sell mine for more than 800 EUR while any other alternative would lose at least 50% of the value and probably require more maintenance.

My hands get cold at 18,5 C, I tried to set it lower but I'm really not comfortable. I used fingerless gloves to work with the keyboard and this helped me to go a bit lower, maybe 17,5 but it's not ideal. When I'm moving it can be colder and when I'm in bed or sofa I use a blanket or anything so it can also be lower, but for using the PC I really need 18,5 C.

Can't they use it to generate electricity? I know it can stop burning any moment, but closing it also has it's costs and risks of releasing methane instead of CO2 if not done properly.

Netherlands and Denmark have many more per capita and also much better infrastructure for cycling. I was in Germany this weekend and in some cities is quite a risk to ride a bike since there are definitely not enough bike lanes

Just yesterday I read a Reddit post which I can't find now with a very long list of issues with the game. Some of them quite serious and most commenters apparently would prefer to pay for the game instead of getting this unfinished monetized product.

That's the Brexiters logic, but it turns out UK was not only contributing to the EU but also trading. Now it doesn't need to contribute anymore but it also lost exports, access to talent and so on.

There isn't even a guide, screenshots a video... justa sign up page without showing anything at all in advance.

Why should it be cold? This is necessary for data centers but for factories probably it’s much better to have your own solar powered energy

I don't even consider myself a very good developer but I work hard, I have discipline and commitment, and I focus on getting the work done. This made me 10x engineer in most of the teams I worked.

And for a few years I had it well measured because I was working with the same app and I was estimating all the tasks for me and the others with high precision to my own performance. The manager understood that other team members wouldn't follow my pace since they were less familiar with the app, and it was OK for him to estimate 2x or 3x the time when planning. But at the end it showed that I was average 8x faster (and with better quality) which was not justified since they were also senior even they knew the app a bit less.

The worst part is that I was earning much less than them due to location... but at least I could justify a request for a 15% raise which was given with no hesitation.

I guess this is only for new sales. The point is that there is plenty of people wanting to buy a home in Netherlands, they just can’t pay the same price as investors. With this law the seller will have to lower the price till some person who wants to live there can afford it

But I was talking about the "premiums" for not being the main account. Not the negative interest for having a large amount. If N26 and all the alternatives allow up to 50k with no negative interest, then the problem from the intial comment can be solved

What about N26, Revolut and all these new online banks? They don't charge anything where I live in the EU. I don't have 100k though.

In my experience the problem with Scrum is that people are not able to implement it correctly. So maybe it's biggest flaw is that is not easy to understand for the people who has to follow it...

But I have to say that once I had a really good scrum master. He was extremely strict with telling the product owner and so on that a story can't go into the sprint if it's not 100% ready and also telling developers to not accept one story too much if they are not completely sure to finish within the sprint.

What happened is that product owner and other business people didn't like this guy because they felt he was stopping progress, but from my point of view, before him they were running in circles reworking the same features with things they forgot but they didn't realize. I felt totally the opposite. As a developer I was always finishing all my tasks without stress and high quality, reducing the amount of bugs and forgotten features, and I had time to help other teams, for instance the product owner himself, to complete their tasks better.

Guess what: This scrum master was an ex-developer

It's a good tool but it's not enough to learn a whole new language. As a user it helped me a lot to memorize new words and also to easily understand common sentences and expressions. For speaking and writing skills is much more limited and you would need a teacher and real-world practice.

But I used Duolingo + Anki for all the vocabulary stuff and then I could focus the paid lessons on grammar + writing + speaking to be more effective (and save time & money)

What I do with lentils is just leave them with water during one night, not too much water so they "drink" it all. Once they sprout I cook them in a pan with a little of extra virgin olive oil. Finally I add salt and the result is a very crunchy and healthy snack that everybody likes. Sprouts with Mediterranean touch

This app you use is using 20 years old UI concept that has been replaced by SAP a few times. But thanks to the almost eternal compatibility it still works. SAP products have many weaknesses and they are always late and not the best adopting the new trends. But a lot of blame they get is caused by poor implementations in one side and the customers not adopting the newer options for another.

SAP apps are internal and very sensitive to changes, so usually they don’t get priority, but at least you can thank that using such an old app designed for old windows terminal still works. It should just be replaced, but SAP usually leaves that decision to customers and this delays the change a lot

That’s the point. This creates awareness about the life in the water and hopefully it helps to reduce people throwing trash in it

False dilemma. I didn’t say that the alternative should be coal.
