Laut Verordnung gelten Berufe als Mangelberuf, sobald auf eine unbesetzte Stelle weniger als 1,5-mal so viele Arbeitssuchende kommen. Ein einziger Faktor bestimmt, wo Mangel am Arbeitsmarkt herrscht und wo nicht. Landet ein Beruf einmal auf der Liste, dürfen Unternehmen Arbeitskräfte außerhalb der EU rekrutieren.
Was passiert, wenn Berufe für Menschen aus EU-Drittstaaten geöffnet werden? Der Pool an potenziellen Arbeitskräften wächst schlagartig für Unternehmen. Das vergrößerte Angebot wiederum befreit Unternehmen vom Druck, ihre angebotenen Stellen zu verbessern. Es findet sich schon wer der’s macht.

Accordingly, space organisations have started considering how to keep time on the Moon. Having begun with a meeting at ESA’s ESTEC technology centre in the Netherlands last November, the discussion is part of a larger effort to agree a common ‘LunaNet’ architecture covering lunar communication and navigation services.

Grady Booch, chief scientist for software engineering at IBM Research, on Web3 and cryptocurrencies: Web3 is a flaming pile of feces orbiting a giant dripping hairball.

The report also highlights the declining usage of EDNS Client Subnet (ECS), the slow adoption of IPv6 and DNSSEC, and the emergence of HTTPS records as a solution to the “CNAME-at-apex” challenge.

As Bender says, we’ve made "machines that can mindlessly generate text, but we haven’t learned how to stop imagining the mind behind it." One potential tonic against this fallacy is to follow an Italian MP’s suggestion and replace "AI" with "SALAMI" ("Systematic Approaches to Learning Algorithms and Machine Inferences"). It’s a lot easier to keep a clear head when someone asks you, "Is this SALAMI intelligent? Can this SALAMI write a novel? Does this SALAMI deserve human rights?"
