What kind of electricity usage do you have? Because a used electric car probably around 20k provides you with easily 50+kwh in car to grid, + you get a working car for free.

Solar + batteries is cheaper than ever. Americans are often full preppers and DIY but when we speak about energy autonomy and efficiency they immediately get some weird allergy.

Will they though? They would capture more windows users. They already have the Neo actually. iPad still has another job mainly around simpler tasks. I’ve not yet got to love the Macosy windows management.

Bad luck, accessibility standards require you to support 320px width without horizontal scroll bar for most elements, especially the main layout. (1280px with 400% zoom)

Med school has its own issues and is a very demanding learning and career path. Lots of stress, long shifts etc. I am very impressed by the people doing it but it’s not for everyone. Anyway, who can predict the future? There are still lots

That’s the definition of democracy. Of course voting is significant and has consequences.

Actually private equity have been accumulating stakes quickly in renewables lately. Makes sense. Talk bad of a future tech to own most of the cake early for cheap... https://www.cfainstitute.org/insights/articles/p

“Distilled”? I mean what model is not distilled from other data? The American models happily trained from my blog and social media data without any kind of rewards. If I can pay the inference I don’t see why I wouldn’t do this. Also, I have

In Germany you are obligated to provide usable contact information, and there are even lawyers who make their business model on suing you for not applying that perfectly (it’s has been abused a lot in the past decades btw).

I never understood that point too. It shows quite some cognitive decline in the users mind. Searching for 20 minutes is now too much even if your privacy depends on it. I suspect also this was a well planted thinking point by the social med

Indeed a lot of social media platforms are used by foreign powers to create discord. Human psychology is much more attentive to negative messages and this is too easy to weaponize. A solution against that would probably be world changing. I

Well the thing is that people often love when the government tells other families how to live, and partly for good reasons including enabling basic education for everyone. Partly the wants of the parents and the needs of the kids might be a

If the rate of failure is slightly consistent then more layoffs will lead to more startups, so more will get on top. Many companies business are easier to attack than it looks. Look early 2000, early 2010 have both brought their set of amaz

In Europe drought is measured from the amount of water at different depths. I would be surprised it’s different in the US.

Sorry but 40 tons trucks have been around for decades in Europe and people drove small cars. Its car marketing, group think and FUD.

Actually European integration the last 30 years has been pretty remarkable. In the past, not even electric plugs were compatible. But the EU is not a country. A lot of the inefficiencies are actually features sought by key members to protec

I’ve seen many essential people being laid off for stupid reasons, the gp reason above being part of the story for some. Finance runs the world not tech. Tech is only welcome when it helps finance else it is marginalized.

It was a single election in 2016, and a few governors and senators and… oh it’s actually a pattern, a system that people feign to ignore when convenient for them.

The trains that are 10 min late in Germany mostly not exist in many other countries. Sure Switzerland is the best, but Germany is pretty high up. It’s just less good than it used to be. Oh and you can ride almost everywhere for 60 EUR /
