There are really only two search engines. Its either Google or Bing. The others exist, but they use Google's and/or Bing's search results.

Yes, but once code becomes too spaghetti such that a "refactor while you write it" becomes too time intensive and error prone, it's already too late.

Thanks

I would argue that Germany is not a socialist country. Politics are targeted at the already wealthy and cooperations.

I'm not versed enough in politics and history to give detailed examples. I'm just a normal guy. However, I'm currently listening to the Jung & Naiv podcast on Spotify.

In episode 661 they discuss the development of the housing sector since the 1950s and very little in the 18th century. The important information is that the housing sector grew from being socialist to being a housing market.

I think they mention that in the 50s there existed a "Kostenmiete" (Cost-rent). That would only be allowed by law to be as high as it needed to be to cover the costs for building the house/flat. The owners were not allowed to make profit exceeding 3.5%. Any profit had to be put into housing again to keep the housing sector growing. Around that time the state was heavily supporting housing unions and other groups (not cooperations) to build housing. The state itself built 500.000 !!! appartments a year. Last year the interview says they built 6 appartments. Six, in case you thought you read a typo.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At least in the housing market we are not socialist anymore and it becomes worse every year. Education becomes worse every year. The medical sector becomes worse every year. Public transport becomes worse every year. Loans do not keep up with inflation. Everything becomes more expensive.

Yes, we are better off than many. But are we not just richer slaves with more benefits than others? The interview says that there exist studies that estimate 11 million households to qualify for social housing. In some cities that is 60% of their population. 60% quality for social housing. Are we alright?

I don't understand the math behind the UPS raises. I can't believe it is as much as my math tells me.

$30 bln / 340.000 workers ≈ $88.000 per worker per year.

Am I missing something or is this actually correct?

As a German, I think I would. Given that it is good and just.

So, it seems I'm really out of the loop. Is this some AI thing generating a video from my comment? Or does this scroll through all comments while "recording" the screen?

Thanks a bunch :)

Haha, no the wall is just barely lit. I had to roll down the shutters to take the picture.

Muss diese Woche auf Support machen. Bin echt froh, dass heute nichts rein kommt und ich morgen frei habe ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I used to like going out in summer mid-day. Now I usually prefer to stay indoors. It's only the few morning hours when I can stand the temperature. But 30°C at 65% air moisture und no shade or water to bathe to be found... No thank you.

I think to have this settled once and for all: The German accent is the best of them all.
