I hope that the first model to reach ASI will be called that. I don't want humanity to go out with a whimper nor a bang but with a pun

I always make sure that a test failure carries the same financial loss as a production outage. Otherwise engineers just won't try hard enough.

And where does the money of the seller go? Back into other stock or (less likely) consumption. Eventually it goes towards newly issues stock or gets invested in early stage companies that put all of it towards direct investments into people

BTC market cap is $1.2T. S&P 500 market cap is about $66T. Why would we not want for money to flow into real estate? It's an area with massive demand and money flowing in to create supply is exactly what we need and is productive.

What do you think happens with the money that goes into stock? It doesn't simply vanish. It ultimately gets invested in salaries, construction of data centers and factories.

It's pretty much impossible for a navy to secure a narrow strait like this. You need to control the land as well. Sorry, it's a video but it does a fabulous job explaining this: https://youtu.be/khtWPycU-PA It was

Well, the network states were supposed to be a social thing rather than a place, no? Free Cities movement is more focused on actual, physical places.

Even the subscriptions are too expensive?

Most EVs are owned by people who also have an ICE car. Especially for this vehicle I would expect this to be the case even more so. That makes me wonder if a lower price with an even lower range would actually have been a reasonable tradeof

Oh, I have two tiny one of those in my bathroom in the US. Is yours full-sized? I've never seen once with a crank in Germany.

So you don't have sliding windows but also not tilting windows? They can only swing open?

US numbers in the popular twitter stat are officially recoded heat deaths whereas EU numbers are all excess deaths. Supposedly if you look at excess deaths the numbers for both places look the same. IMO even that's not a proper compari

I'm not sure a more complicated term would prevent people who don't want to understand the issue from finding new ways to not understand it.

I thought the Europe number was even just excess deaths and not recorded hear deaths at all whereas the US number was only officially recorded heat deaths.

Living in the US I honestly miss the German windows that swing open. You can open the entire window whereas sliding windows can only ever open halfway. I also sometimes miss being able to stick my head out the window but that's a trade

Double glazing safes heating and cooling cost though. A large part of the cultural difference and willingness to spend on AC comes from the fact that central Europe only in recent decades got so hot. Of course thinking a cold is caused by b

And yet, even here in Oregon many of my coworkers only got window AC units during a heat wave a few years ago. But let's not break the narrative of all US vs all of Europe.

by ajmurmann 4mo ago
I was under the same impression about window units till recently as well. However, I learned that there are units with hoses and foam seals that just require to put the window on tilt and then the hose goes out at the top and the surroundin

Is this actually illegal in many places? I proposed this to my parents in Germany and they seemed to be under the impression that they could install one but their village is getting a village-wide heat pump system this fall that can also co

Isn't it that European numbers show excess deaths whereas US numbers are for cases where it was officially recorded as a heat death?

Yes, there likely is a large component where the median customer would be unhappy, just like they were with Uber surge pricing despite it being a win for the median participant in any role. That's why I'm here to preach the gospel

That risk is exactly what scalpers have been carrying at everyone of these cases.

You pre-authorize the charge.

Scalpers bid high because they know they can get when more. The people who pay more to scalpers on an auction side like eBay would just bid that directly to Valve

Scalping exists because the sales price is significantly lower than the market value. Just do a Vickery auction and scalping is gone. Because it's avickery auction the price likely wouldn't be totally ludicrous either. If there is

That prevents flooding of tickets by a single person but doesn't prevent me from signing up even though I just want to resell

To be fair, if FIFA wanted to maximize profits, they should auction tickets off instead of allowing scalpers to eat the delta between sales price and real value.

Well, there is a genuine problem with the WC that reselling solves. It's unclear till a few days before what team will be in which match. That said, I'd prefer the solution where tickets don't go on sale till it's clear

by ajmurmann 4mo ago
Does it solve scalping? It seems like there is still money in sighing up with the goal to resell. Granted this is better in that I don't have to race the scalpers. Till the sales price matches the market value scalping will exist. The
