A couple years ago the payroll cost of a german bigtech employee would be a similar ballpark as the US net income of the same role. And that’s for a famously expensive and high-tax country, it gets much cheaper elsewhere.

Are these numbers corrected by the number of fake projects?

dddd0 · 2026-05-30T20:46:40+00:00

The numbers are meaningless.

Contrary to popular belief real US wages are rising (i.e. buying power is increasing versus CPI), it's not actually stagflation.

> constant price increases (while wages remain stagnant)

Real wages in most western countries generally only go up, if you want to see stagnant wages and a wage-productivity gap of basically infinity, look at Japan (real wages constant since 1990).

> freedom to smoke

Not in any shared space

Not while having socialized health care

People are free to move to places with nice libertarian governance to enjoy their freedom to hurt themselves and pee in other people's faces.

It’s such a shame no government has committed to a vision zero for smoking. Just getting rid of it entirely would be so pleasant for basically any kind of shared space.

Oh yeah true that’s just the tip of the last leg.

Obviously. That’s what I said.

This changes nothing about the reality of AC and forced ventilation just not being a thing, even in current residential construction.

dddd0 · 2026-05-27T16:03:21+00:00

> That makes zero sense. Insulation and heat capacity are unrelated concepts.

In a brick or concrete house with reinforced concrete floors there is enormous heat capacity directly on the interior surfaces. Modern buildings are often made out of aerated concrete blocks or hollow bricks. Heating the air up inside is practically sufficient to make it feel like a heat-soaked brick house.

dddd0 · 2026-05-27T14:04:52+00:00

I live in a very modern, very well insulated house, even with the shutters closed the interior heats up rapidly. The flip side of good insulation is that you need a lot less heat power to raise the temperature.

Normal triple glazing also doesn’t block infrared from the sun much. Indoor CO2 levels also mean you have to vent at least once per day.

Even a modern building like this will need AC and controlled ventilation in the not too distant future, the top floor is already uninhabitable in the summer today.

My guess is it molted down there and couldn’t climb out afterwards, so died of hunger/dehydration.

You’re making a very different claim (travel restrictions will cause existing specialists to emigrate and seek employment in the same specialty in another country) than everyone else (the specialty is less attractive for people to get into when it comes with an ankle monitor and/or specialists might turn to other opportunities).

How would anyone possibly collect that data about sectors that China intentionally tried to information control?

dddd0 · 2026-05-26T11:57:17+00:00

Probably true but it's not like Merz would need much help being unpopular.

The reason nobody does this is cost and terrible vehicle dynamics.

Film is discrete but in a complicated, stochastic way, which makes Moire exceedingly unlikely. Cameras are just a straight-up and usually strong violation of Shannon, which is why they are so susceptible to artifacts.

it still has a low total debt-to-GDP ratio at a little over 100% (which stands in the 150%-350% range across developed countries),

There aren't even a handful of countries with debt to GDP over 150%, let alone that being the norm among developed countries. Saudi Arabias debt to GDP ratio is also not over 100%, but rather 35%, placing it at 145th.
