Isn't it the same thing that made it unaffordable?

People like stuff that makes them cash. It's a subconscious bias that's hard to escape.

Indeed, i have lost 10% of my weight (going from "quite a bit overweight but not obese" to "just barely within normal limit"), and my wife lost whopping 26%, going from obese to totally normal. Idk why.

Maybe it just the zeitgeist... "mmm this article doesn't make me want to kill the OP... something is off here"

Precisely reflects my own experience. Used them whole lot starting from March (after resisting for a long time out of stubbornness when everyone and their dog around me did since long), reached peak usage in July, but then got disillusioned

This is only a good thing. What's the controversy here?

So the country is almost at the frontline of an all-out war and feels like it doesn't have bigger problems than this one.. It feels like a deliberate "ragebait law" to infuriate people and distract them from what should be th

AI is a bullshit bandwagon. It has a benefit that no real-world events can derail it because it lives entirely in the world of fantasies of spin doctors and evangelists.

Mass adoption of EVs is inevitable anyway. It's just a matter of being say 5 years behind China. Even if those 5 years now look like 10% vs 50% market share, in 10 years they will mean nothing.

"fintech and other gaming industries" is a very fair representation of what's going on.

You meant to say - economy entirely based on online scams, porn, illegal "trading" and gambling? We have full office buildings where people work round the clock phishing money out of people to "invest" into Forex "t

It's not at all uncommon. Virtually everything that has tiny sharp pieces in it, will work like that. Graphene for instance.

That smells like literal communism to me. "Let's use mass violence to force people to do good things, market forces be damned".

This is about 3 years outdated. Whoever chose a coding career many years ago, now found themselves in a bind: no longer have a profession that keeps a roof over their heads, and personality way too transformed by practicing it over a long t

Quit 8 years ago. Had two attempts to get back - one around 4 years ago when i just got bored out of it in a couple days, and one around 3 months ago when i was horrified to see the streams of extreme right, black pill, porn, scam, "fu

Whole cities are built in Southeast Asia to facilitate scams. Moreover, if the problem is fixed, hundreds of thousands will probably die: both of hunger, because they've been doing it for like 15+ years and now their population won&#x2

I'd offer a much easier explanation! Middle East only became a laggard when it became wholly owned by Ottoman Empire. It meant that when Europe transformed into unitary nation-states where unity of blood, religion, language, and cultur

I'll believe it when i see it. Because it means around 2 KWh/Kg (100kg for 1000km range), which is too good to be true. If it's true, it means more than electric cars - it means electric planes that will totally make jet-powe

100K km on my Model 3, still over 90% of original rated capacity (and almost all of the decline - like through 94% vs 91% today - was during first 20K km, as expected).

Aren't they deprecating mainly because new EVs are better? In this case, it is not "derailing" but simply the actual replacement happening. And this effect will become smaller as the industry matures and EV prices stabilise.

Isn't this what repeats with every generation? On the flip side, someone will inherit all those assets they accumulated.

Of course EVTOLs will not replace cars, or commercial aircraft. They will replace helicopters and will be used in same niches as helicopters are used today for commercial purposes, for a fraction of cost and enabling more landing points bec

Well, the fraction of Russian LNG can't be higher than the overall fraction of Russian LNG on the world market right? Because prices for it are the same everywhere - a tanker operator can send it wherever prices are the best. It means

With LNG, it's not as bad. It is about as bad as oil imports. No dependence is created because all LNG is the same and you can just buy it from anyone on the market - unlike a pipeline that creates a mutual dependence. We can see thoug

But it is necessary to do anyway? Just accept the losses and move on. Eventually solar will take over everywhere regardless of what anyone does, or doesn't. A few years of perturbations don't matter.

Surely there's plenty of work that AI can't and won't do for a long time if ever! And plenty of coders will be employed for a very long time to come. Thing is, it doesn't take too much oversupply for price to become esse

Question is - why hire these days at all? Productivity of coders have skyrocketed, just keep best of those you already have, fire the worst, and milk the best for as long as you need them because they all know the current job is probably th
