As an European from Spain, in south European countries air conditioners are essential(Greece, Spain, South Italy, South Spain, inner Portugal). But in other countries or places it is not really necessary(north of Spain, France, UK, Germany)

I disagree strongly. I have done things like changing the electrical sockets and conducts, replaced the toilet cisterns, the water faucets, remove brick and plaster walls and created new ones, and most of the important knowledge for doing t

I am also a fit person. When I hear someone tell me that they don't have time for doing exercise I do not respond, I just listen and watch. I almost always will see the same person in the next days watching TV, or social media or playi

I will not define Jobs as narcissistic (thinking on himself). Quite the opposite, Jobs was focussing on what people needed, and he was right: People needed rounded corners way more than ovals. Jobs was obsessed with the customer experience

As someone who has used Windows only minimally in the last 20 years (mainly for CAD and 3D) I do not understand why people need Governments to "protect" them against abuse while they continue using the abusing system. In the past

I never had this impression. For me reading papers is way more fun and easier than developing a new solution in code and painstakingly work over all the bugs until they are gone, or worse, find bugs that you don't have solutions for. O

When doing loops there are rapid changes of acceleration, specially on inverted loops. It can make you pass out easily, even if you are young. Being 91 years old, I would be extra careful.

You talk about intelligence but then act like a zealot. Don't get me wrong, I have solar panels myself in Spain, but is not Utopia. Solar panels use a lot of space that could be used for other things like growing food. They make the ea

What do you want low programming for? I learned assembly so I could disassemble and understand programs. I learned C so I could use all the libraries that people had made and their frameworks than later because C++, Objective C, C#, java, p

Like most new technologies, I bet they will not get the goal they are aiming for, but when they try they could get other interesting results as valuable as the original goals. If you get a technology capable of creating cheap holes, you wil

It does not need to be EV purchases. When the company I worked for went to China, it paid 0% taxes for several years. This is a subsidy. I worked there, and everything was subsidised, the steel and aluminium plants for example. If as engine

Very simple. You could contaminate freely on China, but not in Europe and USA. You can use as much coal as you want, with as many ashes, sulphur or radioactivity as you want. That makes energy super cheap. But is is an external cost, people

What happens is that Chinese prices are not real because batteries and EV are subsidised by the Chinese Government. Also Chinese market is full of restrictions for foreign companies.

As an engineer myself that studied in Europe I do not believe you can replicate the education without going to University, like having practice with real machinery and laboratories. Having said that, education in the US is too expensive. It

That is Russia's propaganda at best. It was Russia the one who started the war in the first place, as friend of Hitler. Something convenient to forget.

In Spain in 2007, the Government asked people to invest in solar panels guaranteeing a price that was outrageously high for a long time. Of course then it changed the price and 60.000 families were bankrrupted. Solar panel were ultra expens

Totally crazy that someone drives that fast with fog like this, knowing that there is a rail crossing there. No matter what kind of autopilot I have, I will be always careful around those places. It also does not make any sense that Tesla d

It is not, it is just the last one. Artillery was a hack against cavalry. And cavalry and the carriage was a hack against infantry. It is said that Archimedes used mirrors to burn the enemy fleet. Ships with metal plates were a hack at firs

I believe that the best rule is that young people can learn and adapt while old dogs could not learn new tricks. Old people are never going to learn, but young people can.

I had to learn to work remotely. It took me years. It is clear that there is demand for consulting into making great WFH companies. Companies will have to learn from each other in this.

Musk was a terrible employee himself, he always wanted to do things his way. When Musk talks about WFH, it is something personal, you can see his face because he gets emotional. I believe it is a good thing to meet colleagues from time to t

"Harmonizing" is a great name for "absent of competition" or "collusion to raise taxes" and it is the worse thing that could happen to Europe.

I never had an Amiga, but I had friends that had it. It was a superior tech only for a very small period of time. What happened was Intel, they took great decisions like automating the design of their processors and this made them grow at a

They already did that before until Microsoft offered them new conditions and they went back to MS. So take all those "digital sovereignity" with a grain of salt. It usually means: "We want you to lower your fees".

I don't think so. Their hardware was the better thing. What they should have done is cannibalise themselves. Something extremely difficult, but it could be done. Fairchild did that with the integrated circuit. There was a coup inside f
