- Comment on Elon Musk’s Tesla quietly slashed over 3,400 job postings, leaving just 3 listed in the U.S. 2 hours ago:
Not really, especially not in countries with sane workers rights. Google won’t just fire a bunch of people because a project is a bit late. They’ll finish the project, eat up the costs and maybe decide later on what to do.
Of course, given the absurdity of the US labor laws, big corporations will also fire people, but ceteris paribus, a larger corporation will be more likely to be able and willing to keep you employed than a smaller shop.

Smaller companies offer much less safety, though.
If a project is late at Google, you can pull in resources from other projects, delay the release, etc.
If a project is late at a small company, that could mean bankruptcy, even if everyone pulls 80h workweeks.
I personally would prefer a company that is just small enough not to require much corporate bullshit, while still having enough buffer to survive rough patches.
My current project is together with Cap Gemini and holy shit are those guys corporate drones. Absolutely horrible.
- Comment on iFixit hails replaceable LPCAMM2 laptop memory as a 'big deal' 15 hours ago:
But I want clear black and white distinctions and outrage!!!
- Comment on iFixit hails replaceable LPCAMM2 laptop memory as a 'big deal' 1 day ago:
I still don’t understand, why this is seemingly no problem in any other application.
Desktops, servers and even some chonkier laptops manage to work with regular (SO)DIMMs just fine.
- Comment on I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun 1 day ago:
It’s not gatekeeping, but a frustration about a new generation coming to an obvious conclusion, that they already had.

Aren’t the PS symbols copyrighted/branded? I read somewhere that there’s some IP involved, so you can’t use the standard symbols.
- Comment on Ok, $23. Final offer. 2 days ago:
Or sellers obviously don’t know, what their stuff is actually worth.
Some want to sell used goods for more than the new price and three times what other offers are.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 4 days ago:
And I have yet to encounter a single smug vegan. Not online, not offline.
But I’ve seen countless people like you fighting the just fight against vegan windmills (awesome Rügenwalder double reference for the German people here).
So where exactly are those vegans? Are they in the room with us right now? Or are you defining every mere mentioning of veganism as an attack because you deep down are afraid of actually having to confront the cognitive dissonance you’re living under?
- Comment on Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two 4 days ago:
Can’t or won’t?
Seriously, though, I wouldn’t be surprised, if a bunch of suicides or “retractions” are happening soon.
How about 2 million if you shut up? No? How about we publish this dirt on you? Would be a shame, if some nameless robber orphans your children.
- Comment on War 5 days ago:
God those guys are stupid. I’ve seen one literally having an aphid on its head and ignoring it.
But seeing them “hunting” is actually kind of scary, I almost feel bad for the aphids.
- Comment on After 16 years, Ecobee is shutting down support for the original smart thermostat 6 days ago:
16 years ago was 2008 (which is shocking in itself, I’m old), SSL was seen as very very optional until 2013, when Snowden dropped his CIA/NSA leaks.
I wouldn’t be surprised, is the security is “trust me, bro”.
- Comment on Google layoffs: Sundar Pichai-led company fires entire Python team for ‘cheaper labour’ 1 week ago:
Even doubling the salary is far less than what you’d pay in the US, and as a rule of thumb, German labour, including all the indirect costs, is about twice the gross salary.
- Comment on Google layoffs: Sundar Pichai-led company fires entire Python team for ‘cheaper labour’ 1 week ago:
Compared to Valley workers, Germans are still cheap. 100k is a very very good salary over here.
- Comment on The more air conditions in an area the hotter becomes around it. In turn increasing the demand for AC. Talk about infinite money glitch. 1 week ago:
No, since most cities are not fully air conditioned.
- Comment on Physics 1 week ago:
In the sense, medicine is applied physics, just as everything else.
Thing is, you always break down a problem into just enough details to solve the problem. Not more. No physicist studying, say, airflow over the Atlantic will take quantum effects or relativistic effects into account. Magnetic fields are also ignored. Even clouds are surprisingly “low res” in most simulations.
- Comment on Carnivores 1 week ago:
So you’re telling me, they kill beings because they are bad at proper due diligence while soil scouting?
- Comment on Physics 1 week ago:
Maybe having halfspheres at the top and bottom? So more like a gas tank, less like a piece of sausage.
- Comment on Physics 1 week ago:
Now, how exactly is a penguin toroidal?
- Comment on Physics 1 week ago:
That’s pretty much the same in most fields, especially in the engineering direction. Idealized gases are idealized, steel beams are assumed to have a certain stiffness just by convention, and your entire existence is represented by a bunch of form fields stored in a database somewhere.
- Comment on Physics 1 week ago:
Yep. All models are wrong, some are useful.
- Comment on Evolution isn't linear. 1 week ago:
That’s actually what it’s called in German. Never thought about the implications of the “X evolved to Y” screens.
- Comment on The more air conditions in an area the hotter becomes around it. In turn increasing the demand for AC. Talk about infinite money glitch. 1 week ago:
Cities are already about 5C hotter than the surrounding countryside. Adding this increase on top, means 7.5C.
4OC in the countryside is already bad, 47,5C in the city is deadly for a lot of people.
I think you underestimate, how deadly heat can be: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature
- Comment on The more air conditions in an area the hotter becomes around it. In turn increasing the demand for AC. Talk about infinite money glitch. 1 week ago:
In cities it actually does have an effect, especially in crowded ones. Millions of people in a relatively small area blasting AC “exhaust” out of their windows heat up the crammed air and in turn the buildings, streets, etc. which increases the heat island effect of cities.
Granted, it’s not a huge effect, but it’s measurable. First source I could find: euronews.com/…/fact-check-is-air-conditioning-mak…
- Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs? 1 week ago:
See, again, nitpicky details, even though we both know exactly what was meant.
- Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs? 1 week ago:
Oh, I’m terribly sorry that I didn’t use the exact wording that the semantic overlord required for his incantations.
Let’s recap, you only read the title, which by definition does not contain all the information, you wrote an extremely arrogant and absolutely not helpful comment, if challenged you answer with even more arrogance, and your only defense is nitpicky semantics, which even if taken at face value, do not change the value of your comment at all.
You are not helping anyone. No, not even others.
- Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs? 1 week ago:
The closest one is about a trip over the Atlantic away.
- Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs? 1 week ago:
It’s absolutely opaque to me, especially the non-big-name brands barely get any reliable reviews and especially given the silicon lottery, I can’t tell if every chip is like the reviewed ones.
If I just happen to get the bad module that craps out after 6 months, the positive reviews are not that helpful.
- Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs? 1 week ago:
Honestly, that is the typical self-righteous stackoverflow response that is helping no one.
You know exactly what I mean, you know exactly how to treat the question, but you chose to play captain obvious of the second arrogance division and posted this.
Of course devices will fail at some point, what are you even trying to add here?
