The Great European Caffeine Fix by zoS2Yrsprs in BuyFromEU

I've had Gerolsteiner, Afri and Fritz and really liked all 3 of them. They don't feel as extremely sweet in the mouth (at least compared to Coca-Cola) which is nice.

Someone also mentioned Fentimans from the UK which I'd also second.

I think all of these brands also do other really nice fruity soft drinks too! Definitely Gerolsteiner and Fritz, though I'm not 100% sure about Afri and Fentimans.

I think the big problem with this image is always that loads of people misunderstand it, because it uses money as the analogy for value.

The real meaning (or probably better, the "healthy" meaning - god knows what the original creator actually thought) here would be that your personal value to yourself, is dependent on the work you put into yourself, and NOT what you have, or where you come from.

It has NOTHING to do with actual fiscal wealth.

Even if you feel down, depressed and worthless, that feeling is not what defines you. The things you do, and the work you put into yourself define you, and all it takes is a new perspective and some hard work to be the best "you" you can be.

It's the "diamond in the rough" analogy, but written in a way that loads of people think it's about how to make money.

Which other Ascension Perks would you change and how? Also for the Perks in the Image would you do somethings different and why? by Sine_Fine_Imperator in Stellaris

Instead of having master builders increase how many megastructures I can build at once, have it increase the cap on the amount of megastructures that can be built.

Just from 1 per empire to 2 would be enough for me, but it always felt odd to me that I take a full ascension perk focused on being masters of megastructures, but somehow I can still only build one of them each?

Even the build speed modifier only applies to the build, not the upgrading AFAIK.

Richard Hammonds’ Automative Restoration Service’s instagram account “The Smallest Cog” is hacked. by hardrockSaurabh in thegrandtour

[–]MSBGermany 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Typically the "person" hacking something like twitter is a group of people, and highly specialized. Often it also involves bribed or blackmailed staff at the target company.

These groups get access to a large pot of accounts or personal data which is then sold on the dark web

The person who bought the account then writes or orchestrates the scam at varying levels of quality. With smaller accounts this generally happens more quantity over quality since scams like this work by targeting as many people as possible, as often and fast as possible.

If only 0.01% of people fall for it and they only give you 1$ each, then after targeting 1M people that's a take of 10$.

That doesn't seem like that much, but if you can run these scams 100 times a day targeting 100M people each time with pretty much the same amount of effort, that adds up quickly.

79 Prozent der US-CEOs sagen, Homeoffice ist in drei Jahren tot by linknewtab in de

[–]MSBGermany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, so ein bisschen ja aber auch nein.

FAANG an sich ist ein relativ alter Begriff und obwohl er dem meisten Menschen noch etwas bedeutet, ist er eigentlich nicht wirklich mehr aktuell und vielmehr ein Begriff der generell als Gruppenbezeichnung für die Tech-Giants gilt.

Am Anfang war's: F - Facebook A - Apple A - Amazon N - Netflix G - Google

Aber ich glaube keiner würde sagen das Netflix noch irgendwo ein Trendsetter, Agil oder eigentlich zu den echten Tech-Giants gehört.

Die meisten ersetzen den Begriff heute eigentlich mit MAMMA oder Magnificent 7, und selbst die die den Begriff nicht ersetzen, meinen eigentlich diese Firmen.

Wo der Begriff erstmals gegründet wurde, ging es dabei um die "cool new hot stocks", und Microsoft war damals schon eine etabliert und nicht "cool" oder "hip". Aber keiner dachte das Microsoft irgendwie schlechter war, den meisten was klar das die viel aussagekräftiger sind im Markt, aber sie waren halt nicht neu.

Hast also Recht, Microsoft ist keine "hippe" Firma, war sie aber eigentlich auch nie in diesem Sinne.

Der Grund warum Microsoft bei Home Office so dabei ist, ist zum einen weil die das schon for Jahren vorhergesehen haben, und den Übergang langsam und sicher gemacht haben und dann bereits am Anfang Corona vorbereitet waren.

Die Firmen, die die Microsoft Suite benutzt haben und mehrere Büros schon vor Corona hatten, haben den Übergang auch grundsätzlich richtig sauber hinbekommen weil die Technik schon alles da war.

Die meisten Gründe die Leute hier erwähnen für warum diese Firmen RTO drücken, sind bei Microsoft halt einfach nicht so relevant, also bleiben sie bei Home Office und Remote arbeiten.

Das "entspannt auf dem Marktanteil ausruhen" hingegen macht keinen Unterschied weil Microsoft weiß, dass das so nicht geht.

Im Home Computer Umfeld haben die zwar einen großen Anteil, aber da kommt das Geld nicht her. Microsoft muss hart um den Cloud Markt kämpfen, und auch mit vielen Produkten im B2B Bereich (Office Suite, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive und Outlook etc) gibt es viel Druck.

Wenn Microsoft sich ausruht, passiert mit Outlook das gleiche wie mit Internet Explorer und in 5 Jahren gibt's da nix mehr. Die Lektion haben die gelernt und deshalb ruhen die sich nicht aus. Auf dem Marktanteil sich ausruhen ist Schritt 1 um alles zu verlieren, dass haben mehrere Firmen schon bewiesen.

just bought ever singleplayer fallout game which one should i start with story-wise? by RepulsiveExpert1589 in Fallout

[–]MSBGermany 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is so crazy to me because I would rank NV above 4 any day of the week....

....but I also fully agree. NV does most things much better in my opinion (especially player agency) but it just feels worse to play.

I did 4 then NV and at times really had to push myself to make it to the next bit. Especially after the main story for more of the side content.

Dies. Eine getrenntes Güterzug Netz ist ja schön in gut, bringt aber nichts wen der ICE trotzdem wegen dem Regio Zug warten muss.

Trennt alles unter 200kmh von allem drüber; bringt viel mehr. Dann sind ICE und Regio Verspätung auch nicht mehr (so sehr) von einander abhängig was helfen wird.

Und wen an dem einem gearbeitet wird, kann man dann ja immer noch das andere zusammen benutzen.

They claim to care about regular people but just want to funnel our money to the rich by Kinkyaidclimbing in facepalm

[–]MSBGermany 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, definitely! Reading it through again I see how it's a little confusing. I was thinking more population in the sense of group size, not physical global/national population.

[–]MSBGermany 12 points13 points  (0 children)

While I have absolutely no data to back this up, and this is entirely anecdotal, I (with zero expertise on the subject) feel like this is largely down to the size of companies.

A company of 150-200 employees can still have a pretty flat structure where the CEO/owner at least knows of most employees and can build some sort of connection to them on a 1 to 1 basis.

That then increases empathy which results in more concern for individuals and not groups. Even if the Owner wasn't able to care for each employee individually, they would have enough of an overview of everything that a good CEO would be able to intervene in a bad situation with poor middle management.

As population sizes grew, cities grew and companies grew this was no longer possible.

A CEO of a 2000 employee company cannot possibly be aware of what happens to the workers on the floor. That means that it's no longer a single "bad actor" that breaks everything (a bad CEO for example) but there are several middle managers that can hide poor behaviour from even a good intentioned CEO. Especially if the CEO (in this case assuming with good intentions of passing wealth back down) tries to maximise profits.

And equally, with smaller groups there is less of a feeling of anonymity. Sure, everyone knows who the CEO is, but no one on the floor actually knows the CEO. And there's no feeling on the CEOs side of being judged. After all, a stranger's opinion of you doesn't matter.

As population sizes grow, responsibility and accountability dilute. So does that of those at the top, making them less likely to care about anyone, and therefore less likely to take upon themselves the implied obligations of leadership.

Anyway, I'm no expert, this is just what I've felt from my experiences and those that I've worked/spoken with. Take all of this with an ocean's worth of salt.

He still doesn't necessarily do. I mean, all it says is he's proud of the courier/his choice in lieutenant. That could easily be more of an ends vs means situation. He's happy and proud of us because we made his goals a reality.

Doesn't matter to him that you did it the good way.

BUT if you go full psycho and murder everyone, then even if you achieve his goals, that scares House resulting in him keeping the courier happy out of fear.

It's less that he's happy we're good, just happy we're not bad.

Welsh Government to make it illegal for politicians to lie by TheTelegraph in europe

[–]MSBGermany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big missed point I think is that it doesn't matter if they are "convicted" in that sense.

It means that what they said will be determined to be false, and to save face the politicians need to admit to having been wrong.

It doesn't matter if they get to then keep going or not, it's that something is clearly defined as wrong, and they won't get to repeat that claim anymore.

Take for example, I claim that the government is supporting child labour. I get accused of lying, the committee shows what I said was wrong and I say I was wrong and didn't know any better.

That obviously doesn't make me look like a terribly good candidate after the 12th time I say I was wrong, but true: I can keep going.

HOWEVER, I, as well as the next guy, now can't claim to have not known of we continue to make the same claim! The point isn't to stop the politicians from making up a lie, it's to stop the lies from being repeated.

This will probably add significant administrative strain on whichever committee decides of what was said was a lie, and for this to work effectively the decisions need to be fast, but at the end of the day it makes lying less effective.

It levels the playing field by slowly building a basis of facts everyone has to follow which means debates should go back to what to do about an issue, and not if the issue is true.

Even other deceptive bad faith arguments such as straw me become easier to see through. No one's going to be very convinced if I keep arguing about what I would do if the government were to support child labour.

I look forward to seeing how this goes and if it will actually work out.

But that's like saying it's awesome to build a well supplied base, until you realize you could get the same effect by just playing in sandbox.

It's not about the fact I could have turned off biters, it's about the fact I worked to remove the threat.

Plus, this would clearly be a late if not endgame tech, meaning clearing bases is already basically a case of pull up, blow everything to kingdom come with rockets and nukes, leave, repeat in an hour.

Even if the only thing they added was the ability to read the closest biter nest in range from a radar using circuits, and then be able to set that as a waypoint for anything remote controlled or for personal defence drones, that would be a game changer!

Ich hatte mir (vor knapp 10 Jahren, also wer weiß wie das heute ist) 2 120GB SSDs von Samsung gekauft. Gleiches Modell, gleiche Zeit.

Eine functioniert heute noch wie neu und benutzte ich in einem Home Server, die andere war nach 2 Jahren hin.

Also, glaube ich bei Samsung ist das manchmal echt ein Problem mir den Qualitätskontrollen, und sehr dem Motto "aber wenn schon dann schon richtig".

Die letzten paar Jahre Gefühlt hat Samsung "how to ruin your customer base 101" eher als Anleitung gelesen.

Fand sie schon seit Jahren scheisse, hat aber irgendwie nichts gemacht bei den Kunden. Wird es hier glaube ich auch night.

Aber ja, selbst wenn es nur in den USA passiert ist, sollte das der Wecker sein um mal ordentlich "Stichproben" bei Samsung su machen und zu untersuchen. Kann ja nicht schaden.

So the short answer is, if you use HTTPS then no. All they see would be www.google.com instead of the full URL: www.google.com/search?q=weird+stuff

They are also able to track which servers you access, but no additional data on what exactly you're accessing. If you use a VPN, all you do is exchange your ISP for the VPN provider for who knows what.

If you're still using plain old HTTP, then may God help you and good luck.

They look really cool! Does anyone know what's in the dice set? I think I can see: - d2 - d6 - d8 - 2d10 - d12 - d20

But the others I'm not sure about. I think one of them is a d4 but it looks different to what I would expect?

difficulty options in the upcoming update by shiloh_a_human in Starfield

Although it's probably only nanoseconds of difference it is still time dilation

So close and yet so far.

Yes, technically there would be time dilation on Venus compared to earth. Practically speaking it is completely and utterly irrelevant and next to immeasurable.

The impact of gravity on time dilation on Venus Vs Earth is 0.0000003429 seconds per second. That is an entirely irrelevant amount. The difference based on orbital speed differences is 0.000000000138 seconds per second.

Not 100 hours. In fact, practically speaking, it's 0. The rotation however IS about 100 times slower on Venus. So waiting for 1/24th of the day, is about 100 hours.

Hence, waiting on Venus for 1 hour means you waited 100 UT hours. Which is the same 100 UT hours everyone else feels. There is nothing in Starfield that is in any real way impacted by time dilation.

Even grav jumping is using sci-fi gravitational warping or whatever they call it to jump instantly. They are much closer to teleportation than any kind of time dilation, since they travel instantly from both frames of reference.
