The EU exported over 200 million doses. If the EU wanted, they could've issued an export ban like the US did. People tend to forget that 3* (with Curevac soon to be 4) of the most effective vaccines are actually from the EU. * not coun

Visual Studio has the same problem with C#. By default VS will load all defined analyzers into Roslyn which can execute arbitrary code. VS warns you with a confirmation dialog that shouldn't just be ignored because "I just want to

I had my first encounter with a PSD2 measure the other day. It was very straightforward with my bank. The shop redirected me to my bank's website where I logged in with MFA and clicked OK. Done. A subsequent order worked by just enteri

I don't think you can compare both. It's abstractions all the way down, for both. Modern ICE are made from metals compounds that were unknown a few years ago and are the reason they are efficient. Just as you can send bytes over a

Obsolete is very relative. You can still use chips produced on 40nm for embedded controllers that control large industrial machinery.

Everybody is currently throwing money at chip makers as the world finally realizes how dependent it became on chip production in Asia. Intel is just smart and wants to get subsidies in the US and in the EU. There already are several chip

What happens when the cert root expires? Does it not expire or does Apple grant an eternal valid signature when apps were signed before the root expired?

This will only push the problem by a few years. After that recycling is still necessary.

I think you underestimate the amount of pressure hydrogen tanks are under. You need pretty large solar panels to power the compressor alone. So large that you can better charge a battery over a day or two. Why engineer a new kind of ICE whe

Hydrogen transport is actually quite complicated. There are many villages where you buy gas in cola bottles, so I wouldn't bet on hydrogen to be available, even in 20 years. Gas powered generators will be more likely. > seriously we

How about we skip all the block and chain parts and just use the cryptography part to sign and encrypt a call?

This shouldn't surprise anybody. Those are used for work like farms and are tax deductible.

People buying cars for $20,000 are generally not people who can invest twice upfront for lower maintenance costs over the next ten years. Being poor (relatively speaking) is expensive, especially when you are financing.

Not only that, there are entire continents where electric vehicles are simply not feasible. You cannot drive an EV 100km through mud and forests to get to a town just to charge it. Those EVs are not only very heavy and will sink in mud, the

Gasoline is not what makes a car fire bad. It's everything else of the car which is almost identical between ICE and EV.

You can train all you want but unless you have a burning EV right in front of you, all training is only theoretical. Practice makes perfect and no fire department will set a Li-Ion car battery on fire just to demonstrate what happens.

So what you are saying is that Tesla should require certification with practice sessions with an instructor and a written test for all users of Autopilot? Or do you mean that Tesla should assign a controller to each car to keep it 1km away

German cities are in the middle of equipping all fire departments with containers that they can flood with water to submerge EVs in. The idea is to let the EV burn, cool it with water, and then tow it under supervision of a fire truck to a

Poor families can already not really afford to live in the city where they work as cleaning staff, in retail, as handymen, etc. These people keep the city running, not the AirBnB landlords or hedge funds.

Assuming there is a detected 51% attack, what would be done against this? Spinning up more nodes to counter attack is not an incentive for other "good" (whatever this means) miners because keeping unused mining capacity at hand is

China is controlling over 50% of the mining power for Bitcoin. Giving away control over currency to Bitcoin equals giving China control over currency. A 51% attack to rewrite blocks with new transactions doesn't even need to happen. Th
