This is why one should agree on and pay fixed pricing to lawyers. Most of it is just standard procedures which don't take much time and should be easy to estimate. Most of the work is done by the secretaries anyway. Lawyers even charge

The main problem is that GDP can and is defined in so many different ways and massaged and changed to anyones liking. Same with inflation. It's hard to measure correctly in the first place and becomes even more useless as it is defined

That study kind of proves that economics is not a science. Not even the "true" value they want to compare their forecast with is correct. It's also just an estimate. Complete nonsense. "To assess the quality of the forec

But why simplify it into a simple supply and demand curve when at the end it means nothing because you did not include all the other important factors?

How do you know? Do you seriously mean that smaller economies can be modelled several months into the future with accuracy and be correct more than 50% of the time?

For Org Mode maybe this app would be something similar as it also focuses on projects and tasks on textfile basis: https://easyorgmode.com/

Your comment does not make sense. If someone offers a service for free and people start to use it does not mean that the old incumbent service which costs money is not providing value. It shows both provide value as people were using both.

1) Well, Volkswagen have one planned for 2025, the ID 2all for about 25000 USD [1]. The BYD e2 costs around 15000 USD [2]. It's almost a physical fact that EVs are cheaper than gasoline cars to produce. Right now the prices are higher

This overcapacity will quickly move into undercapacity. It's quite normal that during this rampup phase of EVs and batteries and factories for these are not in a steady state situation. There will be many ups and downs until EVs are th

It sounds nice in theory and in legal words, but in practice it's very hard to control that it works and that everyone follows this. You can just think of how complex it is from a technical perspective to implement this. Sync all those

From the article the cost per flight hour is around $8,000 for Gripen and $33,300 for the F35A. The Finish and Swiss most likely have no clue what the final full life-cycle costs will be. No-one knows this cost. The US who sold it knows a b
