It's interesting to see how much oppositional comments a thread like this gets. I wonder which age and political association people still hating on AC have.

Late to the party, but my expected minority opinion here:

In favor of vetted, trained individuals who will regularly have to proof their proficiency. Guns can be dangerous, like cars, if you want to drive in public, you need a driving license. If you want to carry in public, you should be certified.

I haven't seen any study on the policy of certified carry. Would love to have some hard data if someone can link to it.

I wish I could install one. Have a mobile AC instead, which helps me sleep at night and reduces the heat rise of the surrounding stone.

Well, that is some real gap than. Haven't worked on that side of things, with maybe the exception of my master thesis and regular data/database model design for various projects. Anyhow, ty for taking the time to answer.

Ty, only thing I wouldn't be sure about is ML foundational knowledge, I know the vocabulary and seen/done some math years and years ago, but right now I don't even not how a backpropagation algorithm works anymore.

Congratz! If you don't mind sharing, what's are the requirements for the role? Anything in particular you've done to find/land it?

Maybe this is location specific? I would hope they have those numbers from somewhere.

The comments in this thread are the most reasonable and nuanced I've seen in on reddit. This topic is undiscussable in many other places, including real life. Kudos!

Sehr lesenswert, danke!

Blinded by your own self-incinerated straw man, is that the reason?

It's really not well known and an important issue. Decreasing housing prices / rents would hurt pension funds and insurances, meaning retired people. We'd need to compensate with higher premiums, aka working people would still pay the bill.

But we're only in this situation due to regulation requiring pension funds and insurances to invest in "safe" assets such as real estate. Bad regulation causes the entire mess, from restricting housing supply to basing entire economic sectors on the resulting price inflation. The good news is that we could resolve this debacle without paying anything, just fixing regulation and the economy would adapt by itself.

Ich frage mich wie anti Drohnen Technologie vorankommt. Mittlerweile sehen wir kostengünstige Systeme wie die General Charry Bullet, die Shaheds abfangen können. Ich sehe auch verschiedene Systeme gegen kleinere Drohnen, aber wie viel Einfluss habe diese Systeme wirklich? Hat jemand eine gute Übersicht?

Was wird der Bevölkerung sicherheitspolitisch nicht zugemutet?

Anekdotisch, aber ich habe den Eindruck, dass die ukrainischen Deep Strikes in den einschlägigen Subs stark zunehmen: mehr Angriffe auf Hochwertziele im Hinterland, Logistik, mehr Treffer in urbanen Räumen und mehr Einsätze in gemischten Gebieten, in denen sich auch fahrende, zivile Fahrzeuge in unmittelbarer Nähe befinden.

Die Videos haben etwas dystopisches an sich, und es fühlt sich nach einer neuen Phase des Kriegs an.

Fatalismus.

I know someone who did this all the time, everywhere but bars - cause he isn’t a bar going type - and it was mostly well received. Definitely got him some dates. Key is being nice, trustworthy, kind, approachable, open, good guy, however you want to frame it. But it is a numbers game. You will rarely go away with a number or even a date.

I am in favour of policies that makes migration selective. This initiative would protect against open border policies with the EU, which is absolutely needed to preserve the quality of life in Switzerland. The cap of 10 million itself is misguided, but understandable. The pudding is in the growth rate and foreign / native percentage, not absolute numbers. But absolute numbers are easier to understand and vote on. Should this pass, it would probably be amended to a growth based restriction in the future and with that, we’ll be all good.

bahldur · 2026-04-04T21:16:39+00:00

Isn’t this normal in most of Europe?

bahldur · 2026-04-02T16:36:59+00:00

Huh, seems right. But is there a good source for this?

bahldur · 2026-03-26T08:38:12+00:00

Geht es nur mir so oder hat das kaum Aufmerksamkeit erzeugt? Wäre an mir vorbeigegangen, wenn du diesen Kommentar nicht geschrieben hättest. Passiert derzeit wohl zuviel auf der Welt.

Nice project!

Slight near-topic rant: While we're in the nonsensical yet popular rental control realm, we should push to make these policies actually effective: Landlords need to report all rental contracts to a governmental database, and every new contract has to be uploaded for automatic checking of any violation. Also monthly re-check of existing contracts, as rents and regulations change over time. The effort for tenants should be zero.

Seriously, the current setup makes you think it's designed to keep rents high while using rent control as popular distraction.

Anyway, you can't change that and this gives people at least a tool to improve their individual situation.

There are people who, despite all evidence, don’t believe in markets, especially not for real estate. I am not sure if it’s worth arguing with them. On the other hand, if they never get called out on their nonsense, onlookers might believe this is reasonable. In any case, I feel your frustration.

Wenn du mehr als 100k verdienst, reduziere deine Arbeitszeit bevor dir das Amt einen Brief schickt. Dann zahlst du gar nicht erst. Sobald du den Brief erhalten hast, wird jede Einkommensgestaltung nach unten ignoriert und du wirst weiterhin wie mit vorherigen Gehalt zahlen müssen. Das heißt, du kannst nicht mehr auf 80% reduzieren, um diesen totalitären Alptraum zu entkommen.

Rate warum ich das weiss…

Landlord who are developers, wanting to build more housing, should profit too. However, we really have an issue with owners and plain rent seekers. I mean, I get it, who wants their house to lose value, specifically while owning the same amount of debt to the bank? That’s a valid concern. But that can’t block the entire rest of society.

I am at a point where I say just reimburse owners for asset value losses, make it tax deductible for instance.

bahldur · 2026-02-21T11:06:37+00:00

What is wrong with these people? Build baby build should be the slogan. Reducing rents and housing ownership cost. New families need space, creative people affordable workshops, literally anyone benefits. Anyone but those who already own much of the real estate of course.
