You're quite right. The German city of Munich tried to switch their administration to Linux with their own LiMux Ubuntu flair ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiMux ). Unfortunately some of the (generally grumpy Bava

Impressive feat doing this in 10 days. These kind of travel blogs always get my upvote ;)

My theory is that the increased turnaround times are due to the fact that people are too stupid to board a plane properly. And Airline staff is doing less about it than, say, 10 years ago, probably being afraid of social media shitstorms or

The idea is to interfere in the free market of buying software companies in order to maintain the free market of software. Adobe buying Figma at that time looked likely to reduce competition in the "creative" software market.

I am always wondering why the US scores so well on these "ease of doing business" rankings??? Even taking into account that this was a risky business idea, relying on subsidies etc., both property and interconnection to me seem li

I never get why people will drop plastic garbage somewhere in nature or just at the roadside. I always associate it with the Alaska Highway in Snow Crash, don't know why :-D

That is a very good reason for trade barriers, much better than the trade deficit. And the barriers could be introduced in a far less disruptive manner, that allows companies to plan long-term. So I guess whoever stresses the US trade defic

Exactly, and as a consequence of the automatic load shedding, the fission reactors shut down for safety reasons, and had to be cooled using their Diesel generators, which wasn't nice to watch: https://www.lavanguardia.com&#x

As you say - in software a US monopoly is usually a ticket to export success. Not so much in other markets. There is a reason the US telcos haven't found much success abroad as opposed to European or Arabian telcos, but prefer to milk

Really good point. As a EU citizen, I hope the commission had at least the balls to put a retaliatory DST on the table in private. But I doubt it.

Adam Smith already pointed out that a trade deficit is not really interesting, so I do not understand the American obsession about it ;) Also, the often-mentioned US-EU trade deficit is not that big if you count in services. Which I think s

See answer above - the EU is less "debt-fueled". But I also think that EU producers are more competitive. The US has a strong tendency towards local monopolies which are bad for export competitiveness.

Good point about the flammability, wasn't aware of that. The safety mechanisms are part of why nuclear is so ridiculously expensive. I think every major power needs nuclear infrastructure for their nuclear weapons, but I don't thi

Yet they did not help to stabilize the network in Spain, and had to be shut down.

Thanks for your factful reply :) Regarding the nuclear risk - it is driven by incidents. If the plant had not incidents, there would be no risk. E.g. the childhood leukemia risk is double inside a 5km radius, and there is no good explanatio

If you like nuclear, ask yourself the following questions: - Would you want to raise kids living close to a plant? (with higher likelihood of childhood leukemia etc.) - Would you want to live close to a nuclear waste processing plant such a

fyi, the root cause of the Spain blackout (not blackout) is not yet known. I won't deny that solar and wind make things harder, but linking the recent blackout to renewables without the facts is only done by fossil/nuclear propaga

Well well well. While it is sad for the crypto folks and their families, it also demonstrates them the benefits of government, law, and order. E.g. in France the recently abducted crypto high-rollers were very quickly saved by the police. U

I think this is a game changer, because data privacy is a legitimate concern for many enterprise users. Btw, you can also run Mistral locally within the Docker model runner on a Mac.

Sad to hear this. There seems to be, at least in more enlightened companies, a slight momentum away from the current "classic" org structure of having separate Product and Tech departments staff dysfunctional Scrum teams. Going to

As a side note, why does he only get ~21k likes on Truth Social for his post? https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1144521171432... What is going on there? Why don't they fix the likes for him? :-D

Not unexpected. Whatever content I have seen from NPR looked well-researched, and politically unbiased. It's a pity.
