A fifth of your country vote for nazis, and another third don't mind them. Time to get out of Berlin a bit. AfD voters don't really hide anymore

Entry level at my company is 55k, in a much smaller city, in a field that's not super competitive salary wise (i.e. not automotive industry), so I'd slap a huge YMMV on your comment.

I'm sure there are entire studies about why homeopathy works. What's your point? That economists are better liars than homeopaths?

Economics should be viewed like history: as an after-the-fact study, not some form of prediction model. Meaning, not a science, as it is by definition non reproducible (until we invent a time machine). Seen from this angle, I think economics is a quite interesting topic, yes.

But most "economists" from last century just spew things about how capitalism is great, because suggesting otherwise would be a (career) suicide in most of the west during the cold war, and things have been slow to evolve. Also, empirical data is not what defines science. It's only used to support theories. Otherwise, I can tell you that 99% of the people who take homeopathy for their flue are cured within the week. See how useless "empirical" data can be on their own?

Economists who view themselves as anything more than historians are basically gurus pushing whatever ideology is trending. Even the more mathematical aspects of economics rely on vague theoretical models that cannot be used for anything but filling up a thesis. But if one of those models can predict when ww3 starts, when Putin dies, or who will win the next election in my city, then I'll admit, maybe they are good for something.

Makes me wonder who, between you and I, needs to learn more about economics.

I wouldn't last a year into a homeopathy BSc, does that mean water has memory?

What's the point of setting up a VPN like that?

Still the tastiest thing you can get on that menu

It's also a confirmation bias. How much AI generated content out there is already indistinguishable from the real stuff?

And then those who want both use arch. I know we love our memes, but this one is really out of date.

TL;Dr "we throw brown people in ghettos so we don't see how much more racist our country is"

The rules of this game are written by the winners. Fuck copyright, IP, and patent laws. The ones who dislike this are the 1%, they can go fuck themselves too.

Hi friends, Not sure whether this little tool could be of use to anyone here, but I thought it might be interesting to share.

I was running into problems on my VPS due to high-memory usage, which led to my email server going down with all the consequences that come with it. I tried using Grafana Agent to monitor the server's state, but with 2GB memory, the tool's footprint was creating more problems than anything else, so I reinvented my own, square, low-memory footprint, wheels.

Cheers everyone.

 

Bonjour tout le monde

Je vis en Allemagne et, pour ces législatives surprises, je suis toujours inscrit sur les listes à Francfort alors que j'ai déménagé.

L'actualisation de mon dossier est toujours en cours, donc je risque de changer de bureau de vote d'ici le 30 (ce qui m'arrangerait), mais impossible d'avoir plus d'infos en appelant les consulats (leur répondeur nous disant qu'ils ne peuvent répondre à ces questions... Super).

J'ai trouvé une page mentionnant le vote par correspondance / en ligne, quelqu'un ici saurait m'en dire plus sur comment procéder ? Vais-je recevoir un courrier à mon ancienne adresse ?

Merci !
