It is a political decision, whether the government wants to pay the costs out of the federal budget. If the government is serious about CO2 reduction and also shifting commute traffic from cars to public transport, this might be an surprisi

Honestly, this is the first time I ever hear of this, and I almost go back to steam engine trains :p

If the trains get full enough, you don't even have to pay the 9 euros as no one can control your tickets :p

There is certainly not enough money invested in solar and storage. It is ironically that Musk rather spends money on buying twitter than investing into more battery production at Tesla.

Not infinite, but that doesn't make an argument. We definitely can speed up the transition to renewables by spending more money though, and that is what we should do. Investing more will accelerate the construction of the factories for

At least here in Germany, at the grid scale, there isn't a real surplus of renewable energy most of the time, especially if you subtract all coal and gas power going into the grid. Of course on smaller scales, batteries make much more

Not quite. It is still the property of Gazprom, but the control is exercised by the German authorities at the moment to ensure proper operations.

The problem is, that a lack of oxygene might prevent fires, but not battery shorts and the consequential heat. For treating battery fires, water is the best. Fortunately, water is easy to come by for a ship. So one component to transition c

It might simply boil down on learning how to safely treat EVs. As the article points out, currently they are shipped like combustion engined vehicles and so far there is no differentiation in treatment. Combustion engined vehicles became re

It is not clear to me, why it would be cheaper to ship the batteries separately. The car shipment might be theoretically cheaper, however it is much more difficult to ship cars which cannot drive. On the other side, you would have the incre

It works well for the Model 3. The standard range version now mostly uses LFP batteries. They have about the same size and weight as the long range batteries. And of course, there is constant progress in battery density. The move to 4680 c

Yes, memory safety certainly would be an argument for rewriting a library in Go. But we are talking here about an extremely well tested and robust C program which is actively maintained. In most cases, it is more likely to have correct prog

Rewriting things in Go not only makes using them nicer, it often is a way to get a more correct and stable program. However, we are talking about sqlite here, one of the best tested and stable C programs out there. Rewriting it in Go rather

Where I work, the coffee room is pretty isolated. My office is actually the closest one, but I can close the door. When I am talking about the advantages of offices, I am thinking of good offices. No doubt that bad offices are almost always

And of course, the new Schützenpanzer Puma, while still being an APAC, has grown quite an impressive cannon. With its 35mm gun, it probably could hold itself well against the older russian MBTs, against everything else anyway.

It is different. Yes, there are some colleagues with whom I have regular online contact, some of them I really only got into contact with during the pandemic. We have regular calls and exchanges. But I also have a lot of colleagues, which I

You are categorizing it way to one sided in an offensive way. "Bad home lives" can be as simple as having too much social interaction e.g. by having children at home, which can be quite distracting. And of course, a lot of people

There is quite some reason to assume, that when the German politics selected the "Gepard" as the first armored system which they would announce to be delivered to the Ukraine, they were playing exactly on this uncertainty. They co

It will be interesting to see the effect of the Panzerhaubitze 2000 might bring to the battle which should be given to the Ukraine soon. Way more powerful than a MBT and with 10x the range it could be really painful for the Russians, especi

by _ph_ 4y ago
Right. People might use the word "Panzer" and have MBTs in their mind. Because that is the most famous kind of armored vehicle. But as the word "Panzer" is used for any kind of armor, it is pretty obvious, that it doesn&

There are both good arguments for in-office work as for work from home. The first might give you better access to interaction with colleagues, the second more flexibility, less communte and often better productivity due to less interaction

You can do that with the magic mouse, you can have separate settings for 1,2,3,4 finger clicks, equally for swipes with 1-4 fingers.

Because it scrolls both in y as well as in x direction. A lot of software supports more than one scroll direction. The magic mouse makes that a very natural swipe across the surface. With BTT, I can define all kind of guestures on the mouse

Some years back, the plane the German air force uses to transport politicians broke, and Angela Merkel was scheduled to take part in a conference in South America. So they just booked for her and her immediate staff business class tickets o

The magic mouse is by far my favorite mouse and I prefer it to the fancy Logitech MX I used before. No other mouse gets scrolling as right as the magic mouse does. Why would you want to be able to have a simultaneous left and right click?

No one would assume that a mobile phone requires to be plugged in to work. With mice it is not as clear cut. And looking at my magic mouse, I wouldn't know where they would put a charge port without making its wireless use worse. So I

I have several Magic Mice, including the one that still runs on the battery. I never had any of the batteries going bad - my oldest one is 5 years old at least still goes like a month on a charge.

by _ph_ 4y ago
I can only recommend using BetterTouchTool for adding more guestures to the mouse - and it comes with a nice feature, it reminds me when the charge of the mouse goes below 25%. This gives me several days to recharge it before it actually ge

Indeed, I think the artificial restrictions on iPadOS are the #1 reason the iPad isn't eating up a larger part of the laptop space. Until software on the iPad becomes more useful, there is less reason to upgrade.

I don't think iPads would need to run "Mac OS", just quite a few artificial restrictions on iPadOS would need to be lifted. I need to be able to install software myself on the device - be it only a small shell script or pytho
