~~(Die den Antragstellern heute möglicherweise peinlich sind. )~~

Nee, das ist niemandem peinlich, so funktioniert einfach Forschungsfinanzierung. Man sucht raus, auf welche Schlagworte die Geldgeber gerade abfahren, schreibt irgendein wildes Projekt zusammen, benennt Methoden um, damit sie trendy klingten (zB. Klassifizierung in Künstliche Intelligenz) und das Geld verschwindet dann irgendwo in der Abteilung. Wenn Berichte fällig werden, schreibt man über irgendwelche halbwegs passenden Projekte, egal worüber die finanziert wurden.

Wir haben auf Neurowissenschaftlichen Konferenzen gerne rumgefragt, wer eigentlich an den Projekten arbeitet, für die er offiziell angestellt und bezahlt wird. Tage an denen die Quote 50:50 war, waren da noch gut...

Ginge sicher irgendwie, aber die Daten sind pures Gold wert. Bisher musste man dafür teuer Payback oder einem anderen Anbieter beitreten, warum also nicht zugreifen, wenn man das durch eine Bonapp, die man noch als Nachhaltig bewerben kann, günstiger in House bekommt.

Lidl regelt das übrigens auch bereits über eine eigene App. Ein Kollege strahlte mich letztens auch an, als mir beim gemeinsamen Mittagessen holen ein Bon überreicht wurde "Ich helfe der Natur, ich bekomme keine Bons mehr!".

The GPU of the series S is simply a lot worse, socutting quality by a bit won't cut it. I also suspect that since they always quote the split screen as problem, it might be about the number of textures to be loaded in when the game is kind of running twice, not the quality.

Personally I don't mind, but I find it problematic mostly because not everyone can be around dogs, be it because of allergies or past experiences.

Weil das 1:1 so in der Studie steht:

Ausschlaggebend hierfür dürften die sozialen Ressourcen der Eltern sein.

Die IT hat vor allem einen Engpass an hochqualifizierten Leuten, die für wenig Geld arbeiten möchten.
Die Leute frisch von der Uni werden abgelehnt, weil sie keine Erfahrung haben, die erfahrenen werden abgelehnt, weil zu teuer, die ausländischen Bewerber werden abgelehnt, weil sie nicht fließend Deutsch sprechen. Keine Bewerber mehr über?! Fachkräftemangel in der IT! Die guten Fachkräfte tun sich das oft gar nicht mehr an, wenn sie bereits vermuten können, dass sie eh nicht das bekommen, was sie möchten. Bei Unternehmen erweckt das zusätzlich den Eindruck, dass erfahrene Leute Mangelware sind, weil "die bewerben sich gar nicht auf unsere Juniorstelle mit 10 Jahren Erfahrung!!!".

Zusätzlich fallen Werkstudenten da raus, weil sie allgemein eine eigene Nische füllen sollen: Arbeiten, für die Facharbeiter zu Schade sind, wenig Vorerfahrung brauchen und oft nicht dringend erledigt werden müssen. Da viele Studiengänge an Hochschulen Industriepflichtpraktika enthalten, ist es da allgemein nicht sehr schwer ein Menge an Bewerbungen zu erhalten, denen man teils sogar deutlich weniger als den Mindestlohn zahlen darf. Und da kann man dann wählerisch sein und nur Leute die halt doch irgendwelche Vorerfahrungen haben einladen, die sind meiner Erfahrung nach immer früher oder später im Bewerberstapel.

They indeed just "license" the games to us:

The Services and Content are licensed to you, not sold. This means we grant you a personal, limited, non-transferable and revocable right and license to use the Services and access the Content, for your entertainment, non-commercial use, subject to your compliance with these Terms.

For termination, it's not any reason but a lot of reasons, including the here discussed:

for any other reason in relation to your actions in or outside of the Services; upon notification, where your Account has been inactive for more than six months.

The first one opens a lot of options for them to find a reason. None of those would trigger any reimbursement, though.

Consequences of the Termination/Suspension of an Account.

You cannot use the Services and Content anymore.
In the event of termination of your Account or of Service(s) associated with your Account, no credit (such as for unused Services, unused subscription period, unused points or Ubisoft Virtual Currency) will be credited to you or converted into cash or any other form of reimbursement.

I didn't want to say that Twitters execution of it is perfect, it's just why Elon comes up with all these seemingly insane ideas. He has a huge userbase that won't leave, he had advertisers who he thought wouldn't want to leave and now he's trying to squeeze. The problem is that he obviously didn't have his grasp as tightly around the advertisers as he thought, which is why step 3 of Enshittitication entirely fails, at least from what is known to us. The idea is to keep everyone kind of hostage while you squeeze and while it seems to work with a huge chunk of the userbase, a bigger portion of the advertisers simply move on.

Putting a name on a century-old concept isn't the worst idea because now we can easily refer to it when it happens once again. And yes, the old age of that problem is why I consider it a bit of a rabit-hole. It's not just something Twitter does now or that tech companies do now because they copy from each other. It's a quite old concept you'll hear about again and again and can read up on quite a bit, if you really are interested into more than the basic concept or why companies keep trying even though the outcome does not always see positive (from an outside, users perspective).

Für wen produziert Tönnies

Wie erkenne ich, ob ein Produkt von Tönnies stammt?

Ob ein Fleisch- oder Wurstprodukt von Tönnies stammt, lässt sich außerdem an einem Code auf der Verpackung erkennen, wie die Verbraucherzentrale NRW der Westdeutschen Allgemeinen Zeitung (WAZ) berichtet. Tönnies-Produkte im Supermarkt sind mit den folgenden Nummern gekennzeichnet:

NW 20202 EG,
NW 20028 EG,
NW 20045 EG

Als Marken werden genannt:

Tillmann’s,
Landjunker – Eigenmarke von Lidl,
Meine Metzgerei – Eigenmarke von Aldi Süd,
Zur Mühlen Gruppe

Look up enshittitication, it's an interesting rabbit hole.

Basically, the idea is that there is a path companies go along where they first please users to build a user base, once you are bound to a platform and don't want to leave (because "everyone" is there) they instead start to shift towards pleasing advertisers until they also feel trapped (because "everyone" advertises there). The final move is trying to squeeze as much as possible out of all these trapped people and companies. It's not just social media, although this of course makes it most obvious at least for a trapped user base. But this also applies for any other big thing that "evryone" uses.

Postdocs and staff researchers go on strike at the University of Washington After months of negotiations, 2400 postdocs and staff researchers at the University of Washington went on strike today, arguing that the university's proposed contract terms don't amount to a fair wage.

The strike comes on the heels of a change in state law on 1 January, which mandated that overtime-exempt salaried employees at organizations with 51 or more employees be paid at least $65,484 annually-which is more than what many UW postdocs made previously.

UW President Ana Mari Cauce argued in a 31 March letter to the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries that the minimum salary thresholds, which will increase annually and are set to exceed $80,000 by 2026, "Are not financially feasible" and that postdocs should be exempt based on rules for medical residents and fellows.

The university increased the pay of some postdocs and staff researchers at the start of the year to comply with the law.

"Most postdocs are paid from our grants, putting us in the strongest position to appreciate the pressure these high wage standards put on our research budgets. We are also best positioned to understand the ways in which making postdocs overtime eligible would negatively impact our work at UW.".

The letter writers argued that forcing postdocs to track their hours and ask for overtime pay could "Further exacerbate the power imbalance between postdocs and PIs, who may pressure postdocs to work overtime without reporting extra hours." They also argued that it would create an administrative burden and that it's often not practical for postdocs to track their hours.

"If everybody at the University of Washington is asking for a different arbitrary number, I think we're not going to be successful in getting anything beyond the for our postdocs," she says.
