Really cool, whats the productivity benefit you guys anticipate from this?

In my dad’s case it very likely did - it was lung cancer and still pre-symptomatic, but had already started to metastasize, so a later discovery would probably have meant a much worse prognosis category.

I agree anecdotes don’t generalize and broad population screening sounds like a bad tradeoff. What I’m wondering about instead is risk-stratified situations: once someone already has elevated risk or prior lung disease and you’re imaging them periodically for legitimate reasons, incidental findings may carry much more signal than noise.

For example, people with prior tuberculosis often get periodic chest X-rays, not to screen the general population, but because their baseline risk is different. My dad had prior lung disease and existing imaging to compare against, which probably made the finding actionable rather than just another false positive.

So not “scan everyone”, more “the usefulness of incidental findings rises quickly once pre-test probability isn’t tiny”.

Extremely anecdotal: my dad’s lung cancer was found incidentally - shoulder pain → shoulder MRI → radiologist noticed lung nodules. The shoulder pain was unrelated, but the scan itself was clinically indicated and there were prior scans to compare against, which made it immediately suspicious and triggered follow-up imaging.

He was also in a higher-risk group (age + history), which in hindsight probably made the incidental finding meaningful rather than noise.

So cases like his make me think less “scan everyone periodically” and more “imaging can be very valuable once risk is non-trivial or there’s a baseline to compare to”. For the general population you’d mostly generate false positives, but for higher-risk groups (older, smokers, prior findings) it seems much more defensible.

Suprisingly the number does in fact seem to be roughly 80k per year, though a similar amount moved from Europe to the US.

That is verifiably wrong. Europe is extremely diverese and there have always been inflows for millenia.

Also its pretty ironic hearing complains from europe about emigration considering this:

Uhm the east indian company has an estimated death toll in the dozens of million people? [1] [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_major_famines_in...

The company was only nationalised in 1858 and until then effectively colonised india until then

One thing to consider: Germany has a rapidly aging population so it naturally gets more unlikely to fund and get success with new technology. Imagine trying to develop some shiny new app in a country where over a quarter of the population is 60+ and most people refuse to pay cashless let alone accept any other new tech.

I do agree but American big tech does hire quite a bit here, no? Amazon, google, msft, meta all have fairly big offices all over Europe. And many other big tech companies aswell, especially since fully remote jobs becoming way more common.

I may be an extreme outliar, but these numbers seem quite low to me? The highest salaries listed there were about 30-40% lower than my new grad salary. Granted it’s an offer for an american big tech company, but even many of my peers with less than stellar CV’s did better than the data shows.

So the command to display the actual image is an argument of the cli. If you use kitty, u can simply use kitty’s internal utility function ‘icat’ to display images. So you simply add these lines to ur bashrc: ‘’’ terminalmuseum --command "kitty +kitten icat" --print_title ‘’’ If your terminal can’t display images the next best alternative is to use imgcat. In this case u need to install imgcat and then replace the command argument with “imgcat”. So the answer is I use nothing to display images, as the user provides the command for it and I just run it.

Also don’t forget that road infrastructure actually is a HUGE maintenance burden and thats where most of its cost problems arise.

You have misread, it talks about the open source platform OpenStack, and that over 8000 thousand developers work on OpenStack.

where do you got that 8000 developer number from? Sounds like a lot

There was basicly zero fighting. And slovenia was already before the breakup the richest state of yugoslavia

Im pretty sure that HIV is much more prevalent in homosexual communities [1]. [1] https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/msm/index.html

> because only tech companies hire developers

That is completely wrong? The FAR majority of developers do not work in tech companies. Most big corporations have internal developer teams, or they employ some contractors that do development for them. But MOST big companies employ developers in basicly all industries.

0 to 9 are exactly 10 digits.

I am from munich so my opinion may be skewed, but it is at best very average, as in some no name devshop/consultancy would pay this much(and even they tend to pay more). Nothing I would expext from a Unicorn, but maybe the market in Berlin is THAT different.

A recruiter contacted me aswell and I asked about their salary. They pay 50k euro for juniors in berlin with afaik no stock vesting. How they even manage to get qualified personnel is beyond me, I would expect much more for a fintech with over 3B evaluation

OP sounds like an app developer. They are saying that apps typically aren’t projects of that size

You have to keep in mind that med school and the equivalent of premed in germany is completely free. Of course that does not make up for the pay difference completely but it changes the perspective quite a bit imo, since med school in the US is extremely expensive. Additionally I could totally see doctors being ok with less pay for the trade off of living in a more fair system. Coincidentally I know one expat here that specifically does not want to return to the US to become a doctor there for that very reason. She specifically does not want to move back because she feels the healthcare system in the US is unfair and she would be profiting off of that system.

Facebook may only be popular among the older generation but platforms like Instagram and Whatsapp are the main social media and chat services used even among the younger generation at least in western europe. So I would say Facebook as a company is important in europe and by no means a small player.

Actually right now its only one anime! Its "Revolutionary Girl Utena". The visuals are gorgeous, the premise of the anime is super interesting (A girl was saved by a prince when she was small and then decided to become like him while she waits for him to return by wearing male clothes and acting like a hero) and the whole story is super trippy in general. Also it has many references to art and religion[1][2]. I'm at around the half point right now, but can definitely recommend!

Two universal things that I discovered for me personally that give my life deeper meaning are friendship and art. I feel like no matter what societal status I have, how much money I have or in what state my body is I can always get satisfaction in life through those two means. Sucks that art galleries are closed during covid but movies and tv shows also work well (currently watching some trippy animes from the 90s to scratch my itch).

I really like the jetbrains solution to this problem. https://www.jetbrains.com/space/

Do you guys think the whole kubernetes ecosystem is a huge bubble or u think its here to last? Recently I started to apply jobs and the pay a kubernetes centered startup offered me was just insane.

It's good that you found a way to plan meals that works for you and I am not saying that you should stop. What I am saying is that most people value the variety of food and actually want their food to taste good so I think your plan is not suitable for the vast majority of people. I mean I am also one of those people who "eat to live" instead of "live to eat" but your plan is just way too extreme. Even I can feel the difference in my mood when I manage to cook every day and get a decent variety of food. I started to meal prep every sunday and just prepare food that I then heat for dinner and that worked pretty good for me.

This gotta be a joke right? Your story is something I would expect form a 4chan greentext. In case its not: I am happy you can live with this kind of diet but honestly, it just sounds very horrible for me and if I would need to live like that every day I would become very depressed. It's worth to cook at least simple food, just to have some variety in ur daily live and warm meals are so much nicer than eating cold every day.

Here in germany if you have a private insurance you will kinda get scammed. Cause hospitals can make more money out of you they will make all kinds of tests on you, cause private insurance will pay it. This wastes your time and doesn't actually benefit you. On the plus side, the waiting times are reduced greatly, you are basicly a high priority patient for them cause, again, you make them more money. In theory everyone could get a private insurance but in practice only very rich people, self employed and people working for the government (the latter two are not eligible for public insurance) do actually get one. I don't know anyone here complaining about healthcare, it generally works great.

The USA has double the carbon emission of china with only a fourth of the population. So per capita an average US citizen contributes 8 times as much to emission as an average Chinese citizen.
