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 city chooses to use as long as it helps to save costs and inc

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 that there's nothing we can do. We should really go w

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 years. In the past they used to be mixed with many other orig

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 away from the shop door and 50cm away from my home front door

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 trip without upfront investment of 20.000€ for a car, plus

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 companies is what keeps them efficient around the world.

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, which by the way, are present in all types of economic syste

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 peak of the Super Socket 7 performance CPUs was reached whe

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 balance is falling even more on the EV side. Second han

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 raises taxes, gets more in debt, or they print more money drivin

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 is high demand in locations where offer is limited due to ph

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. Only a couple of products remain. I have never tried BeyondMeat

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 quality. BMW has pretty low margins, like around 7-12% usuall

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 it, which ends up damaging their own employees as well.

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 SAP would dominate the market in a way there wouldn’t be any

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 a 5 series). The materials, assembly, noises during driving,

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 party leadership or central planning apparatus. However, in fre

I would say BMW had already caught up with Tesla since they released the BMW i4 and the iX. Both are great EVs surpassing Tesla in some aspects. Probably also the most efficient cars outside Tesla.

It has nothing to do with being realtime. Most mcus are also not running any realtime OS. What matters here is how dynamic and tightly coupled are the os components. On an embedded system, most of the system and their dependencies are monol

Who defines what voting well is? Or what a good party is? The observed damage that the UK has inflicted to itself has been caused so far by all the parties that have been in power.
