But that's not the same thing right? That means having two teams competing for developing the next product. That's not two organisations handling the same responsibilities. You may still end up in problems with infighting. But if

I don't think a fraction of a second interruption would be overly problematic. These drones are somewhat heavy and thus bring relevant amounts of momentum. But the start up process is probably far too long

I think the one thing we will find out with the AI/Chatbot/LLM boom is: Most economic activity is already reasonably close to a local optimum. Either you find a way to change the whole process (and thereby eliminate steps complete

You also have Mercedes taking responsibility for their traffic-jam-on-highways autopilot. But yeah. It's those two examples so far (not sure what exactly the state of Tesla is. But.. yeah, not going to spend the time to find out either

Oh, if I were travelling a lot to other countries speaking to non-english speakers and an alternative offers live translation and AirPods don't. Then this is pretty much the _first_ real argument of not buying AirPods. And once you do

I’m not sure if your statements are actually correct. What you are implying is that there are fewer tailors today than in the past. And I’m not sure if that holds. I’m not even sure that their relative position on the income ladder has dete

You can't though. The problem is, that humanity is a web. Not a set of communities (at least on the scale of 1000s of people). And since those webs overlap you will either need to solve the overlap problem at the boundaries (taking eng

Then you have ignored the majority of the event. Don’t get me wrong, I’m also there for the technical talks or at least tech-related talks. But most of the tracks aren’t that. And I would say at least 50% of the assemblies and Co are politi

You really may want to look up where and how CCC was founded. I’m always amazed at people being shocked that left to extreme left politics are the norm on an event from an organization that was founded in Kommune 1 in hippy Berlin

Yeah that is kind of my experience as well. And - according to the friend who highly recommended it - I gave it a task that is "easily within its capabilities". Since I don't think I'm being gaslighted, I suspect it'

Of course it seems like wishful thinking! Because that’s the historic norm. Energy was (in some way) always the limiting factor. And every time energy access got meaningfully cheaper society massively reorganised around it. And yes “energy”

_I_ would agree with you. But I’m also not a person writing a version control system for a kernel that still runs wrong-endianess hardware (I forgot which one we are using and can’t be bothered to look it up). And I think a major part of th

It may never be “worth” it in economic sense, but it offers a way to separate the time of “energy is used” and “energy is available”. Assuming sufficient captureable volume you could capture the emissions of a fossil power plant during the

They are also old technology and only about half as efficient as current ones. So even if you restore them to full nameplate capacity for free they are still wasted to put anywhere as long as the installation price is dominated by labor cos

But that isn’t the case _today_. Unless you have existing facilities (which we do have and which gives fossils momentum) it’s strictly cheaper to build new renewables! The problem for renewables is that the p99.9 price is much higher than t

But in order for an unskilled (no value judgement intended) person to fix that, this means having the technician run out to their house and find out whether that's the case. That's an hour of work, at least. What does a new oven r
