I have very little hope in Krause. He is just a populist and an opportunistic politician without much substance behind. Personally I couldn’t care less which operating system the c…

Blaming everything on global warming is extremely dangerous. It fails to address many other reasons why we are experiencing fires and creates an easy to blame enemy and a sensation…

I come from the Mediterranean region and locally we know many explanations for that. Many of those pine forests are relatively new. Pine trees burn frequently, around every 20-30 y…

What do you think is the underlaying motivation?

If the cargo bike is electric, the threshold for healthy enough lowers significantly. My weekly shopping for a family of four is done on one like that, which I can park like 50cm a…

Limiting your family size is a lazy, short term solution. Having a bigger family and teaching them the right values is a much stronger and long term approach.

Because it’s available to everyone, including kids and elderly, and does not need high upfront payments. I can just move to Madrid and move anywhere in the city for around 1-2€ per…

If including tax breaks, New Zealand and Australia are not subsidized in total terms. But the level of efficiency achieved thanks to the development of technology by private compan…

Capitalism does not decide anything. Capitalism allows individuals to take decisions in a free market. If you want to complain about selfishness then do it on selfish individuals, …

Just before becoming suicidal some hours later.

That’s exactly what small distributors are for.

I indeed remember too the family of K6 chips and their Super Socket 7 motherboards. They were cheap and affordable, and allowed cpu upgrades to classical Socket 7 motherboards. The…

That's not at all my observation. If you take brands like BMW, the EV counterpart is always at around the same price or cheaper. But if you're even comparing second hand, the balan…

Because they don’t care about profits, they always end up overpaying and taking way longer time than necessary. And who pays for that? The whole society: Either the government rais…

That means there’s an invisible hand keeping prices up, or basically that the market is not free enough. That’s caused most of the time due to excessive regulation. Another reason …

Those cars exist but don’t do well in the market. And only when sold by very little money and cheap parts. People demand connectivity, big screens and lots of software.

I love meat and I love good hamburgers. I’ve tried those Lidl and Aldi alternatives and they were uneatable for me and my family. They have slowly disappeared from the shelves. Onl…

They just need to implement a better LLM that is able to deal with all that crap. At the end we will just have agents interacting with each other.

Why cheaper? BMW does not focus on providing cheap cars but highly performing ones. So probably the reduction in costs will be used to improve performance, features and perceived q…

That only happens in an open and competitive market. It’s usually governments that block that from happening (tariffs, taxes, unnecessary regulations…)

The main problem with unions in Germany is that they block companies from adapting to changes in the environment quickly. Companies become heavy behemoths and end up suffering from…

SAP is just a skeleton and a library. How processes are implemented on it depends on the company consulting and adapting it to the business using it. A merge between Palantir and S…

I strongly disagree. The step from the F series to the G vehicles was big, quality improved a lot, specially for the 3 series (F30, F31 vs G20, G21) and the X3 (the G01 feels like …

The MAC addresses of all the Wi-Fi clients are broadcasted in plain radio format all over the 2.4GHz. It is trivial.

Same as any other economic system: power is usually concentrated around a very small group of people. In socialism and communism, that concentration typically occurs within the par…
