What an incoherent mess of an article.
Probably AI written
“According to reports from sources that produce news on such matters, this is critical,…”
That was incoherent for me.
Birds aren’t real according to sources that make claims that birds aren’t real.
That one is true, though. It’s like when we learned squirrels violate all known laws of physics and are actually part of an elaborate conspiracy to collect acorns and corner the market on oak saplings.
But what percentage of fake birds are real fake birds?
Typical…
It’s perfectly coherent, it’s just blather.
Blather is defined as talk long-windedly without making very much sense. Not making very much sense to me is incoherence. Your logic knife is so sharp your cutting yourself.
I don’t think that’s nonsensical so much as redundantly redundant
Likewise
Which is part of why I’m thinking it was AI written
In a major development, according to reports emerging online
and
According to reports from sources that produce news on such matters
These just scream AI-written to me. Especially the second one. Nobody talks or writes like that. If you don’t have sources to mention, you don’t mention sources.
Inglish
Is it just me or this article is riddled with typos and gramatical errors?
With that domain, I’m not that surprised. Actually even says Mumbai News on the page so it’s non-native speakers writing or converting for English.
Indian coders have benefited massively from such job moves in the past.
Is Germany really a cheaper labor pool than the US, or is it specific to these high demand tech jobs?
It sort of makes sense. A stronger EU safety net means less burden of future proofing lands on each employee. That’s bound to make those employees more competitive.
In the US, I have to consider the possibility of an uncovered black swan medical event in my family’s future, since our medical safety nets are poor. As someone who can demand more money, you bet your ass that my employer gets to pay for ways to reduce that risk to me.
If I were a EU citizen, I suspect I wouldn’t be worrying about it, or carrying so much insurance.
But you would be, you’d just be paying for it in taxes instead of your pocket. If you’re middle class, you’re paying for it either way. I don’t know how those are funded in the EU, but you’re either paying for it through corporate taxes (i.e. lower salary), income taxes, consumption taxes, etc.
Comparing apples to apples here is quite difficult because of the complexity of such systems, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes out to a similar number.
No, you don’t have to have a large amount of reserves, because it’s paid as part of the salary regardless. If you’re fired, you don’t have to pay it any more, even though you can still benefit from it.
It’s not dead cash sitting in an account on the bank, it’s in constant flow.
The same is true in the US, I invest my HSA funds, and I can sell if there’s a major medical emergency or something. The main issue is having to pay for insurance regardless of employment, but ACA subsidies are pretty good for that (I was unemployed for the better part of a year and paid very little).
IMO, if you’re middle class, it’s largely a wash.
German coders usually have lower salaries for the same jobs than US American coders. Workers rights are generally better here though.
Isn’t the cost of living in Germany also lower than us statie boys?
I’m guessing, cheaper than Silicon Valley, which is famous for high cost of living and high salaries.
Google’s response sure is some vile corporate doublespeak:
As we’ve said, we’re responsibly investing in our company’s biggest priorities and the significant opportunities ahead. To best position us for these opportunities, throughout the second half of 2023 and into 2024, a number of our teams made changes to become more efficient and work better, remove layers and align their resources to their biggest product priorities. Through this, we’re simplifying our structures to give employees more opportunity to work on our most innovative and important advances and our biggest company priorities, while reducing bureaucracy and layers.
Fuck. Google. Sideways. With a chainsaw.
Does this mean that Flutter will be taking a tentative step toward the “Killed by Google” graveyard?
Flutter looks technically fine, but who would choose a Google framework for their app given Google’s reputation for suddenly killing projects?
Ok so supposedly Google fired the team maintaining its own version of Python, which was about two dozen people.
“coherence” aside, is there any other evidence for this? It seems pretty straightforward. If there is, google is looking seriously off-the-rails. If not, then ok it’s a bad article. I guess we shouldn’t try to google it.
