Please be aware that this doesn't include electricity and cooling, which is really expensive in Germany. They charge 0.476€/kWh. Running a single 4090 @ 450W 24/7 would add another ~150€/month.

The easiest way to improve your relative ranking is to find a less competitive event :) I recently won my age class in a 10k (6th overall out of 147 men). In a very competitive race earlier this year, the exact same time barely put me in th

Do you have private health insurance? Because from my personal experience (in Cologne), the interaction goes like this: “I need an appointment for an MRI.” “Next one I can offer is in 4-8 weeks.” “I have private health insurance.”

From my experience in DE, it depends on the company size. Larger enterprises probably will go through an agency, probably to (try to) cover themselves against accusations of false self-employment (Scheinselbstständigkeit). Anecdotally, the

This needs a [2017]. I naively hope that everyone involved in our industry has learned a lit bit about security in the last 5 years.

No, not yet, but you can bet that I check on a regular basis, although I should know better :) A little backstory: a friend of mine sold a five letter single word .com about a decade ago for a really low price, IIRC $500. The buyer turned o

I recently sold a five letter single word .io domain for 5k, which was the median of the estimated value according to various (free) appraisal services. The person I sold it to immediately relisted it for 79k. That was a bit irritating.

> Which is exactly the reaction those kinds of headlines are fishing for. Not sure I get your point. Do you want to imply that 100B in capital gains would be preferable over a 100B paycheck?

This might come as a surprise to folks who do not own stocks and are not aware of the difference between income and (unrealized) capital gains. According to this article [1] from 2020, about half of American families owned stocks. But only

The CPU is not an issue, it’s the SSDs. Chia mining (or more precisely the creation of plots to farm Chia) is a write-heavy process that will literally wear out SSDs. See https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain&

The title has been editorialized, the study comes to a different conclusion: > Mechanical compression alone did not explain the rise in serum testosterone, although it may have a contributory role.

I'm not a financial expert, but I think "börsennotiert" (listed on the stock exchange) is much more common than "kotiert", at least in Germany.

Assuming immunity, you could take care of your parents, grandparents and other high-risk people. You’d have to balance the risk of a false-positive test and wrong assumptions about immunity against the risk of someone from a high risk group

The difference is that a phone might get hot when the camera is running 24/7 and CPU load is high, e.g. due to motion detection. To add some anecdata: I had an old iPhone (IIRC a 4s) running as security cam for about 6 weeks. When I re

Elon Musk claimed in a tweet that the roadster can beat a time of 6:44 min on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, which is (currently) 20.832 km long. The current lap record for street legal cars is 6:40 set by a Porsche GT2RS MR. The overall rec

Surprisingly, there are no official statistics on homelessness in Germany. Any numbers you see are not from the federal government, but probably from BAGW, a charitable organization supporting the homeless. Their estimate for 2016 is 860,00
