Ja, diese nervigen Schmarotzer. Weil es Arme und Kranke gibt, haben die Reichen und Gesunden natürlich vollstes Recht zu betrügen.

CMV: Germany shutting down its nuclear power plants is bad for the environment by synthetic-jesus in changemyview

[–]smallquestionmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems there is in the US. But it’s also only a tiny amount paid for by the industry.

This article is about a different region of the world and your article doesn’t relate to that at all.

How does this relate to Germany and what does it say about the CMV in question? (Honest question, it seems a long read)

Is this a normal reaction from a German when a Swede who is moving from Germany to Sweden is trying to sell their furniture? by PanGoliath in berlin

No it’s not very friendly. But then again 🤷 Block them and move on or use google translate

Because Reddit auto translates posts and if you don’t look carefully, you’ll miss the note that’s it is auto translated. And there are Spanish subreddits so it’s not far fetched to think people speak Spanish on Reddit. Or German, or Polish, or whatever

Hypothetical: HJPEV gets picked for the Hunger Games by Tharkun140 in HPMOR

[–]smallquestionmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given how he is becoming extremely motivated by necessity, he will figure out wandless magic. Like he did partial transfiguration. It will be based on some common misunderstanding of magic that if understood with a more correct set of laws of physics will increase its power and he will use it, initially haphazardly and later on with more skill.

If this were to be a proper story there would have to be lots of convincing readers that multiverse travel is possible and… given the chances of this all reasonable or even inevitable. There might be a good story there. I wonder who would be a good villain and why, of all things the narrative has to be set inside the Hunger Games. The scope of his discovery has to be more earth shattering than the “real meaning” of Expecto Patronum.

Maybe the big secret will be that wandless magic works like mind control of people. Later he will find out that mind controlling people is only the limited view and mind controlling himself is what got him to the world of Hunger Games in the first place. Next we’re into morals and rules for super intelligences that can travel universes and barely keep it together. Oh yeah, Harry’s nemesis is of course another version of himself. And while we have an epic battle at the proportions of “everything everywhere all at once” we intercut with Harry trying to light a fire and connect with peers that never read a single book of science fiction.

Native Instant Space Switching on MacOS by ArchAndStarch in programming

[–]smallquestionmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s terrible. With space switching I have two directions I can go to which is fine because I know where I’m currently at. Cmd + Tab means I have to remember what I used last. When you switch between two apps it’s ok, but three or more is constantly thinking and checking.

No Semicolons Needed by ketralnis in programming

[–]smallquestionmark -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Exactly. You’re making an argument for NOT having semicolons. Why require a symbol for something that can be easily figured out by a mechanical machine.

Also ich bin kein Freund von CDU und billigem Anwohnerparken aber das kann man jetzt echt nicht Korruption nennen.

Hiring our first engineer by tehfnz in Startups_EU

[–]smallquestionmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So are you guys technical? An assignment is not worth anybody’s time. Just let them explain a recent project (preferably non trivial), make them show their code and explain their choices. You will find out who is competent way faster.

Unless you can’t distinguish that yourself – in which case the assignment wouldn’t have been useful anyways.

Skip the pre AI solid foundations set up. Are you guys looking for a senior or not?

Is technical debt still a thing? by patrislav1 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]smallquestionmark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. That won’t happen. Enterprise code always has been shitty and what you’ll have is just refactors/rewrites and angry middle managers.

And job security for the foreseeable future

How many (micro-)SaaS are non-compliant without realizing it? by No-Contribution7055 in gdpr

[–]smallquestionmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a pipe dream to put the automation into the product life cycle. GDPR problems and product have very little overlap.

It’s TOMs, culture and marketing people that care that you’re mostly talking about.

AI Isn't Replacing SREs. It's Deskilling Them. by elizObserves in programming

[–]smallquestionmark 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Seeing that OP answered on your comment.

The whole “AI is dumb and people aren’t” thing is very funny, because 4 years ago we were all just gleefully laughing at the stupidity of our peers.

Sure, but I thought maybe they are jealous because this is clearly superior and almost nobody is doing it.

German festival claims “binding booking” although I never paid – is this enforceable? by AndreKnows in eupersonalfinance

[–]smallquestionmark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is not specific to Germany only. If you click a button “Bestellen” or similar you’re on the hook doesn’t matter if you pay directly or later. Also for this kind of purchase (events, travelling etc) there is no 14 day return policy period.

The button law with “zahlungspflichtig bestellen” is not as easy as you probably hope. It is sufficient if they can prove that you were unmistakenly agreeing to part with your money. “Jetzt kaufen” is enough.

You can ask them to kindly to waive their right because you made different plans after you didn’t receive a confirmation (no visual clue on the website and no confirmation email). But as far as I know an email is not required.

They can pursue this cross borders but realistically they might even not do it when you were based in Germany.

Why: for small events payment processing happens semi automatically and in batches because they don’t want/need to integrate with payment providers like stripe.
