No one likes to sit in traffic, but I do wonder if such tools don't create too many additional problems, by increased traffic on minor roads [1]. Suddenly small roads, have heavy traffic, because it's 1-2min faster. Leading to mor

Can someone with more technological knowledge explain how this is still a problem in current year ? How is number spoofing still a thing? These can't be hard problems to solve.

Since it's a ferry, a solution could be to just push if overboard. How often do fires on ferry happen?

I think the difference is, as a customer I don't care how dysfunctional their internal IT is, as long as the customer facing IT and support "works".

I'm just gonna link a few German articles. They seem to have reestablished their phone hotline by now, but I don't think they have changed their "move fast and break things" attitute. [1] https://www.anwalt.de

N26 has a history of problems. I would recommend staying as far away as possible.

It's a UK bank with a Lithuanian subsidiary. Which is fine, but means you don't have a German account number, nor an easy way to sue/contact if legal problems arise. The latter is rather unlikely to be a concern, but the form

Sadly, business accounts are kinda all over the place. I use Kontist, but it's pretty basic. You could also look into your local Sparkasse, it should have everything you need.

It was (sadly) never uber green. It was always mostly coal based. These green bets you are talking about, just like e-fuels today, were mostly greenwashing gimmicks pushed by the industry.

Absolutely. That's why it is so frustrating to see the nations who can afford it (US, EU etc), still putting up or keeping unnecessary hurdles. Let's hope for the best.

Does anyone know of any tools or maybe analysis made by researches gauging guerrilla marketing vs. actual interest (which drives the algo)? Because both seem like very plausible possibilities to me. Or even a combination of both, which rein

Depending on what type of battery you use or how long you want to store it, it can be cheaper or cost competitive. But the same factors apply as well, production capacities are not catching up fast enough. Still, The end of fossil fuels is

Multiple factors. The grid infrastructure isn't always there, the upfront cost is often higher (even if it is cheaper in the long run), production capacities as well as the fact that battery storage is just starting to catch up.

Kinda. As an example, oil nearly everywhere gets huge subsidies. Just the industry in the US, gets about $10 to $50 billion per year [1]. But those costs somehow don't seem to matter much because oil is the default. At the same time, s

It is a solution. Just like wind/solar/hydro/geothermal/batteries are ones. None of which require poverty. I agree, that fossil fuels increased the standard of living, but that doesn't mean that it's/was t

by V__ 3y ago
Why do people always try to equate climate-neutrality with poverty? Or that escaping poverty has to be co2 intensive? Those aren't related at all.

I know the US isn't big on privacy, but a closed off backyard? Isn't this the definition of reasonable expectation of privacy? I mean, let's say his children were running around naked while the insurance company would have fi

That's a misconception. Most contracts or form-free and can be made by handshake if one wants to. There are however some exceptions, which require either physical signatures or the qualified signatures as declared by eIDAS. Those excep

It actually is for most contracts. See eIDAS.

by V__ 3y ago
As always, it depends on the jurisdiction. The EU has the eIDAS [1] which allows simple signatures such as these for most form-free-contracts (the majority). There are however some, which need a digital cert and have to be encrypted. [1] h

The courts will strike this down as well. I don't see it ever happening as long as the U.S. doesn't change its laws regarding privacy of non US citizens and possibly US citizens as well. Everyone in my surroundings (yes, anecdotal
