I've been hearing this for years. Hasn't happened. Are you willing to say by which date it will happen?

I hope the ranges will still drastically increase. I need a big car, and I was already looking at the Mercedes EQV. It currently has an official range of 363 km. So that would mean 4 stops. But I have no idea how much you can charge in 15 m

He probably learned a big lesson after that mistake. So if he was a good developer, why not hire him? The chance of him doing the same mistake is probably very tiny. I can imagine that a junior is not able to assess the risk and consequence

Sorry, I classified DAG under PoS, my mistake.

That's not true here in Belgium and the Netherlands. See my comment above (or below)

I live in Belgium, and at least here that's not true at all. People drive to the south during holidays. South of France, Spain, Italy, ... . And people from the Netherlands do even bigger distances than that, mostly with their camper.

There are cryptocurrencies with sub second transactions and zero or almost zero transaction fees. Welcome to the world of Proof of Stake.

So is command line, but that doesn't mean it has no value.

Once Ethereum goes to PoS, let's hope those transfers become cheap enough to compete with centralised exchanges.

Yes, I get it, it's indeed a lot of surplus in the summer. Long term storage would be the better solution, but batteries don't seems to be able to store a large amount of energy anyway. So in my opinion, it's really a tradeof

Not going to take a train when I can take a plane (which is not crazy expensive anyway). And as you know, planes are pretty polluting. So not sure that ditching driving to your destination is a positive evolution.

That will also depend on cities still allowing them of course.

Airplanes are faster than trains.

Isn't adding more panels a better solution? How else are you going to bridge over the winter?

I think it comes down to who is the most easy to replace. If the sellers kind of have a big chunk of the market, and can choose between vendors, you're indeed in a difficult spot. On the other hand, if the market has multiple sellers,

Or educate through a blog post. You really have to align your thoughts for that.

If you want 10x pay you need to start your own company. No other way to get a 10x.

So you claim that 10 well paid engineers are better than 15 average paid engineers?

But that was my whole point, that in practice, successful companies seem to be run by the engineer, and not by some business type and a good CTO of some sort. I even forgot Mark Zuckerberg in my original post. So it seems that at the top le

I think this theory is proven in practice. If you look at the major tech companies, they are all run by people who programmed at some point. Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Larry Page, ... . However, Steve Jobs seems to be an exception h

This could indeed be seen as bullying or discrimination.

They didn't break the law, so you don't lock them up. In the end, they still have that fundamental right. But if you act as an idiot abroad, you shouldn't be surprised when they send you back.

If they are residents, I agree there is nothing you can do about it. But since they seem to be exchange students, you could say "We don't welcome people with such views here in our country", and just send them back to the cou

I agree. You would expect that from a bachelor or master degree. But nowadays you have a lot of people coming out of coding bootcamps, and their level can vary a lot. A hole in the market!

I know enough about PR to know that the other person doesn't know enough about PR. So yeah, when they make suggestions about PR, I indeed dismiss them. If he claims Elon Musk knows nothing about mechanical design, I'm willing to l

That's probably because your standards are different than mine. I don't call a $20K investment "capital from an emerald mine owner", I call that "pocket money". Your consultancy firm probably earns more than th

No thanks, I'm wasting enough time here already. When I want to hire a PR firm, I'll hire a real one. Not one that is desperately calling people, only to get rejected every time.

So you're a freelance mechanical engineer. Are you sure those calls you get are not just scams?

Get calls weekly? Which companies do you own?
