Did he talk to people who make those reconstructions? Why speculate from that outside perspective when you could talk to people who worked on them and the decisions they made. I think that would be very interesting. As is that‘s completely

It takes a village to raise a kid. You cannot parent in isolation and outside of society. How society is structured has an huge impact on parenting. It is delusional to think of parenting as some kind of thing that exists in isolation separ

The peace prize is often given to people still working on something, not having achieved something. In that way it is different from the science prizes. I think that is a understandable approach (providing support), though it can lead to gi

Why dwell on the past? Currently per capita electricity consumption is higher in China than in Germany (6.5 MWh vs 6 MWh). However, it is true that even in light of this current situation China is building out solar a bit faster (on a per c

This is a nonsensical generalization. This is the observation: we massively overshoot in terms of the role (space, infrastructure) we assign to cars, especially in densely populated areas. If we can create viable alternatives to driving we

US post pandemic economic recovery has been astonishingly great measured against other major economies. Obviously (real) wages did take a hit like everywhere but have been recovering, too. My working theory is that noticeable inflations mak

That doesn’t make sense to me. Money is not an end. It’s a (one) tool to get there. To the ends you want. To some sort of change in the world you want to achieve. On that front this is incoherent. I vote incompetence.

It’s worse than that. Everything leading up to this and this reversion right now is a perfect demonstration that the current US administration cannot be trusted and behaves in irrational ways. You cannot expect consistency and enduring poli

This is some weird American version of Juche, not reducing dependency on China. Can you explain the dependency reduction mechanism to me? Just as an analogy: If you were to detonate all nuclear weapons in the US inside the US you would also

The allies actually did create a just peace through strength in Europe during and after WWII. So I’m not sure why you are so offended by that thought? Would there have been a better way to create a peace that all in all has been lasting for

I don’t think re-armament is the only or the best solution. It’s just that with the US having left the picture Europe does have to show strength if it has to have any hope of keeping Russia at bay. That‘s not just arms, that’s also credible

by arrrg 2y ago
Sure. Might be. But you are here asking for Europe to preemptively roll over and give in to Russian wars of aggression. From a game theory point of view how is that supposed to bring peace? That just shows Russia that they can do whatever t

Based on the way Russia has been gradually pushing more and more. Step by step. Slowly. They take what they want. They are appeased. A couple years nothing happens. They take what they want. They are appeased … etc. Invading Ukraine should

Apple has been completely unwilling to play ball. They behaved like a petulant child through all of this. I’m completely convinced that no one at the EU wants to micro manage any of this. But they have to. Because Apple has been failing to

But the surveys were pretty accurate this election. So I’m not sure why you say they are useless.

It is perfectly possible that a given company performance can be reached by different paths, some better for employees, some worse. In fact, I think that even seems like a very plausible hypothesis, given that treating your employees worse

Don’t underestimate the power of status quo. Also, how unpopular it is to criminalize things. Also, Germany has coalition governments. As long as there is no CDU/CSU and AfD coalition (and then Germany would have worse problems than re

Euro NCAP is not a regulator. It tests the safety of cars and scores them in a way that‘s readable to potential buyers of cars. Since potential buyers of cars can’t themselves test the safety of cars (they have neither the expertise nor the

Simple: expansion. Seems like he can get to that goal since western support for Ukraine is shriveling up pathetically. There will be no peace with Putin but a military defeat may be enough to get rid of him. So I don’t really understand at

Saying “this is wrong” is very different from saying “this is fraud”. Why is it so hard for you to tell the difference? You never even need to engage with the question of whether something is fraud when disputing something. If you say that

Doesn’t even matter, coalition governments are a central feature of parliamentary democracies with roughly proportional elections. Anyone who can form a coalition can rightfully govern. Those who get the most votes don’t automatically get t

Well it‘s not automatic. You need workers/employees to care and take action for this to be something about which I can then say “this would never fly where I work”. And you need the legal framework and cultural norms that support somet

Any kind of communication surveillance that goes beyond monitoring for malware and data exhilaration, especially for monitoring performance, would be completely unthinkable at my (German) employer. The employee council would never ever agre

You don’t have to go down any of those definition rabbit holes. It doesn’t matter because you can count the platforms that really have an impact on probably one hand. Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Android. I’m up for including game consoles

by arrrg 3y ago
It‘s not at all practically unworkable. I don’t really get why you think it is? It would be perfectly sensible to force large platform vendors to let you install arbitrary software. No problem at all. Doesn’t mean that also has to apply to,

I remember it differently. In my mind NeXT-Apple – while being perfectly willing openly eviscerate pre-NeXT-Apple – has always been extremely unwilling to admit any fault. I see consistency, not a trend. Maybe a slight trend towards a softe

Oh, I don’t want to claim that it‘s not repairable, I’m just saying that for now they only have procedures in place for the front glass. Doesn’t mean they won’t establish procedures for other repairs in the future or find ways to reuse part
