Russia selling gas to China is completely orthogonal to Nord Stream issue. The strategic win in bombing Nord Stream was that Ukraine finally got Europe on their side. Before NS was blown up many countries, especially Germany were sitting on

Cognitive ability or performance? I can imagine that being in your 50s you would hit a sweet spot between declining ability to learn new things and a vast body of knowledge and skills already acquired.

Well, the CCP does not hide their ambitions at all: they aim to replace the US as the global superpower, and with Trump as POTUS they actually start looking like a more stable, more reliable alternative. I mean: Trump is a clown, and the US

But the argument here was that one month delay was not ideal, but acceptable, but a longer delay will have more severe effect on demand.

Yeah, silly me. Futures are very short-term instruments, not concerned about what this news would mean a few years from now.

I do not understand why such news would cause gold price to go up... What Trump is clearly aiming for is to replace gold with cryptocurrencies - that's why his recent moves to have his own coin, allow crypto in 401(k), push toward &quo

What about university students? They also start their classes in September, and while they have no "budgeting deadline", they still need to buy some computer around that time.

You are so naive to think that US actually cares about democracy. Do you ever wonder why they invaded Iraq two times, but never really bothered to invade Cuba , which is in their backyard? Because Cuba has nothing of value, no natural resou

I find this visualization pretty useless. What I would appreciate is putting billion of dollars in terms of actual property you could buy with it, something like: - This is a house (or palace rather) that you could buy for $1B - This is an

Are you going to have all those installed at the same time? I mean, most players will focus on one, two games at the time, and also Steam or GoG will just backup your saved games to the cloud, so you can uninstall them, and come back to you

Well, there's a difference between an opinion/forecast about future (which Trump could dismiss as just a routine criticism of everything he does) and the actual, hard data.

30km/h is actually above the average travel speed you typically achieve in a big city, if you take traffic jams into account.

I wonder if the problem here is simply hitting some internal quota on compute resources? Like, if you send the model on wild goose chase with irrelevant information it wastes enough compute time on it that it fails to arrive at correct answ

The math must to check out from the bank perspective, there's no way around that, no bank will accept losing money. If your credit card gives you 2% cash back on everything then obviously interchange fees charged must be just a tiny bi

> So EU credit card companies don't do this? No, as I said, they don't because of the interchange fees limit: they simply don't have money to finance any perks. Sometimes you get travel insurance, with the card that charge

by Detrytus 1y ago
That's just your bank giving back some (but not all) of those 2+% interchange fees. Basically, in EU you have low fees, so credit cards are boring, they offer almost zero perks (because there's no money to finance those). No one r

There is nothing wrong with living off of your savings. After all it’s the money you earned so you don’t owe anyone anything for it, and you can spend it as you see fit. The problem with retirement schemes today is that most people’s savi

Well, that assumption might be wrong as well... Yes, taking control of the TSMC fabs is the best possible outcome for China, but destroying them is also not so bad. It limits the supply of bleeding edge semiconductors to the Western world,

You're assuming that China is afraid of "other countries", or that those countries can do anything to stop them. Truth is, China right now is challenging the US for global dominance, they are afraid of noone. They don't

Yes, they are wrong about calling draws less exciting. 0-0 games can still have a lot of action, and many near misses. 3-0 win can be boring, one sided game. Also, article makes another stupid claim when they try to extrapolate from a singl
