I predict that VCs will not pay for 3.5% of global electricity use by unprofitable companies.

Neat. How did you find that first feed?

What do you mean: Taxing unrealized profits (assets that could be sold at a profit, but haven't been sold)? Or taxing foreign entities without a tax treaty?

Some people wanted CVEs as identifiers. Some wanted the CVE most to be dense with actual security bugs (that justified backports, upgrades etc). Some wanted to issue many, often with nice names. Pick two uses, can't have all three.

I like bluesky, but how does one Discovery those fine feeds?

They always exist. Sometimes they're a minor problem, the steepness of the expected change makes them a major problem in some areas. But this kind of thing always exists. For example, logistics companies have problems hiring in some co

The change is a problem. If you expect x plumbers to be needed in year y and x/2 not many years later (within the span of a plumber's working life), how many should choose to become plumbers in each year? How about buildings and o

Not clear to me that Western living standards really imply Western resource usage. Like: flying costs a lot in terms of resources, but is it more than 1% of the perceived living standards?

You engage less. Do you have any reason to believe that you are special? Twenty years ago, Clay Shirky wrote that turning two percent of your audience into subscribers is the easy part, turning away the other 98% the hard.

Broad conscription solves the kind of problems that are best solved when an large army and the soldiers have been trained for a only few months. It's not clear to me that Germany has that sort of problem.

Someone else in the thread suggested that it was just a start. So the question you're looking for is: "Will that be extended to cover me?" What kinds of people would start asking themselves that question?

Why relinquish citizenship, instead of e.g., keeping the assets in a holding company somewhere?

I want to post a separate response to this. Yes, the lack of that changes how people participag on SO. I think it's a considerable reason why SO is the large resource that it is, with as many answers as it has. If askers could delete t

The site doesn't let you.

by Arnt 2y ago
There is a delete button for unanswered questions. As soon as someone else has put in effort and, the combined result is no longer yours to delete.

by Arnt 2y ago
SO lets your delete your unanswered questions, and also your unaccepted answers. It doesn't let you delete your question after someone has gone to the trouble of answering though. Good thing IMO.

SO is different. It's a community effort, an asker and a set of answerers create something together, and SO+moderators clean up so that something is easy to find by searching (and also make the total collection downloadable). This aske

The money largely comes from investors. Investors tend to stop pouring money down holes at some point.

Those aren't the ones you debug, so they won't be seen by OP. Those are the ones you don't need to debug because Nagle saves you.

You're pretty good at moving goalposts yourself. What's particular about the last 25 years? I was at a conference this week where someone spoke about deploying software in the German administration. I translate one of his sentence

Oh well, when I joined the terms included "anyone can download a complete SQL dump of the site" and of course anyone includes all the people I don't like. I knew that, you knew that, we all knew that.

I'm a minor SO contributor, about one answer per week. I answer questions in order to spread the knowledge. From my viewpoint it's a deal where two companies try to make a profit by helping me spread knowledge — what is there not

I think the overwhelming complexity of modern GPUs, CPUs, SoCs don't... overwhelm us. Compared to the process of producing a 3nm chip with all those billions of transistors, the Manhattan project isn't huge. Groundbreaking, sure.

Yes, well, but is it the money you're concerned about? If so, you should just as concerned when twenty million people spending $6 each on silly things as when one person spends $120m. Or are you concerned more with aberrant behaviour —

$120m, how much is that? Wouldn't that be roughly as much as Canadians spent on single-use coffee cups, styrofoam burger boxes etc in the last week or two?

I'd guess it's more because Google's search is heavily pressured by the AI-generated sites, and Google is trying to depress anything which might be described as "a small superset of the AI-generated sites".

You're right and wrong. I know about a team that does well and one that I think is begging for a major CVE. Microsoft is said to be a collection of almost independent companies sharing a domain and a CEO. Based on my experience, small

Would you consider 1% interest "hardly any"? 0.1%? I definitely would. 0.05% 500k€ is a lot of money for a family and a year.
