Yes, and no. Yes because you are vulnerable to supply chain disruption by illwilled countries. But illwilled countries that disrupt supply chains greatly incentivise others to diversify supply away from them. China could have the monopoly o

selling stocks and buying bonds in a recession where interest rates go down (so bonds are priced higher) and expected revenue for most sectors go down is a no brainer. Agree, but there's also the expectation of future debt. A bigger de

It's still surprising to me that countries legit tried to negociate a trade deal with this administration. I think it would have been easier to just discount the US until 2028 and make compensate trade with the rest of the parties invo

As I see it, fully voluntary socislism where people share and cooperate because they just feel like it, works exceedingly well. It also naturally regulates itself as people will just abandon stuff that looks iffy and work extra on stuff tha

More like an optional evil that benefits laywers, lawmakers and ill intentioned folks and makes everyone else way worse off.

They will do so in steps, tho. One cleanroom at a time so they don't eat a big loss if this crazy demand for a commodity goes away overnight. They also took quite some time to decide to ramp up, as this comes a year or more late after

Enshittification for everyone that comes into contact with a corporation run with only profit (and profit growth) in mind. One would be tempted to think that doing things different and actually providing a good service for consumers, seller

The logic of exchanging 3.5 months every 10 years to be as healthy and able as possible for as long as you are alive seems to me to be absurdly compelling. Who wouldn't take that deal?

Specially when you have a list of flights, people on board, issues, etc... The fact that they are specifically tellling people to not worry about that is also a red flag for me. They know what they'd worry about if they were the affect

Just like in chess, at some point the problem at hand and its solution becomes so unwieldidly complex that you either make of it the work of your life or you use a math/chess engine to handle the complex stuff. Just like you can find a

Sadly, as soon as you can conjure the concept of time and schedules, you will yourself end up under one, either self-imposed or imposed by others. It will creep slowly on you and before you realize you will be late to do the laundry or what

Grid and energy producers will have nothing of that nonsense. If enough people do that, they will see their business crumble and because they are an "strategic sector" they have enough sway on most countries to pass laws that prev

A multipolar world where every pole is a decadent husk or a former (or not even former) great empire. Yeah, sounds about right for this timeline.

Saudi Arabia can profit at those prices, but it can't sustain its living standards at those prices unless they pump like crazy. I recall reading that it was around 40 bucks a barrel where things would start looking not ideal for the pr

Misleading headline, nontheless it paints a bleak picture for facebook's revenue if they need to resort to these practices.

We had a good run where PCs were not very popular (all the "PC is dying" headlines we got, huh) and the parts were improving so fast that there was a healthy second hand market with aggressive prices. Nowadays you get a cpu that&#

I never understood why nF is less frequently used than uF or pF. To me, the logical thing is to express the capacity in units that are between 1 and 1000, like it's done with resistors and inductors.

Solar would produce enough power in winter. Germany is europe's top solar energy producer and is at a latitude similar to Alaska.

If you can set up a hydro/pump dam without wrecking the ecosystem and don't need handouts to function, I'm all for it.

There are too many interested parties involved in the energy sector. The only common sense I can think of is solar+storage at the single building level and interconnected through smart grids with neighbours. But that leaves out the governme

A timeline in which AI is everything Amodei and Altman say it is and intel is still stuck in an older node while tsmc has the good gaafet stuff on could be one where it's worth fighting for taiwan. Also, if the US doesn't fight fo

Doctrine never intended for these bombs to be used almost exclusively as means to wage wars. These are meant for strikes that need to be precise and carried in a short notice. If you have 10 targets and use atacms in all 10, there's so

Now they'll exhaust interceptors and other long range missiles like tomahawks and whatnot. And then China gets frisky with Taiwan and the US will totally not abandon them and tell them to just give up pressured by the lack of firepower

They found out that manager do not, in fact, design, manufacture, test or sell cars. Also, wielding axes in a working environment is a big no-no, no wonder they're out.

On that same example, if for whatever reason (evil company, company that isn't up to date with regulations, misprints) you get a bottle of that without any label. Would you blindly trust that yoi can toss it to a fire or mix it in your
