I'd have put the effort into replacing the "Raufaser" tapestry with a plastered wall, but that's personal preferences. ;-)

Why create an instrument that has a limited upside, but a downside that can lead into totalitarianism, in the first place? If it does not exist, I don't need to trust anyone, hence there won't be a problem. Institutions can go evi

A reasonable regulation, focusing on personal freedom, would just forbid building such a network in the first place.

It exists, it is called "UG", minimum capital 1€. You have to increase capital up to at least 25k though, out of your annual profits.

You missed the "mainstream" qualifier from the parent. I am afraid nothing you described here could be considered mainstream, although I'd like to see these things becoming mainstream.

Also for business customers? I would expect such regulations to only apply to b2c contexts.

By not using special chars in the first place, you can be sure you will not be able to run into any (unintentional) bugs later. And not using special chars is cheap, as by requiring a min-length of 13 instead of 12, you can get an even grea

Not the OP, but I'd say both are yes. You will be flying in close proximity to mountains, no way you can do this without actually seeing the mountain.

Search will be a problem for a while, but that's solvable. You really think the absence of social media would be a negative? Don't think much of Europe is dependent on LLMs, yet.

Trump might be the best thing happening to the EU in a long while after all. That is, if the EU gets its act together and fights this as one. Or he's the final nail in the coffin. Not sure I really want to find out.

Because regulation is bad, according to the current executive? Politics aside, the FDA applies a very generous amount of regulation (mostly justifiable), not sure we want to pay multiples for our consumer electronics, as it (mostly) shows a

I‘d say around 10%+. Over a whole month, peak summer production here is 1.4MWh, winter is 0.14MWh.

This is assuming people don’t want to go net zero, and people not understanding that going there requires change, which will be costly. I‘d argue there is a majority in Germany supporting the transition to green energy, accepting higher pri

What a strange take. This is not so much a policy applied from the top, but requested from the bottom. People want to contribute to the transition, and balcony solar installs are a cheap and simple way to do this.

These are mostly limited time and budget offers, not generally available for everyone in Germany all the time.

The thing about balcony solar is that there are no 3rd party costs. Just the time you need to install it on your own. I mean, you could pay someone to do it for you, but most people will be able to do it on their own.

by pintxo 1y ago
This being Germany, you actually are supposed to register every panel in a central database. So the utilities know where generation is happening. This is for proper solar installs as well as for balcony solar. I have a proper setup on my ro
