And in the end it’s you again who has to rush to take care for the suddenly important item. You simply cannot win.

A thing common in ultra-processed foods is that they are heavily optimized to be palatable while also often losing its satiating effect. Those are things that can be measured only difficultly.

I agree that there's potential for sustainable husbandry in grasslands you cannot use otherwise. But it's very small and could not sustain today's mean consumption at all. Meat production relies heavily on farmed feed, with v

You can recycle rusted parts though, so the loss is not as big as you would think.

The article speaks of economies of scale, but agriculture generally does have a diseconomy of scale in regards to land use.

Especially managers should know that this is not true. Business is a lot about politics and egos, and especially managers are the ones engaging in it.

Scheduling also raises costs though. Costs don’t go down much for nuclear power plants if you let them run at reduced output. Nuclear also isn’t as reliable as it seems as it can be seen in France. Renewables even have the advantage that th

Generally speaking the costs in those comparisons are usually without subsidies. However some subsidies are difficult to disentangle from the costs. For instance it’s difficult for nuclear power plants to get insurance, so often states take

Wage is just one cost of doing business. Increasing wages to a certain percentage raises prices by a lower percentage. If you lower profits it can even be price-neutral.

There’s a lot of subsidies for chip production in eastern Germany. So it seems like you can do something like that under the EU rules.

At least in Europe it’s more company profits rather than wage raises that cause inflation. In Germany tax revenues went up 10% for wage taxes while going up 30% for company profits last year. In Germany apartment prices went down in few cit

Oil and nuclear are not in competition. Oil barely is used for electricity production. And for other fossil fuel power plants: they are in the same hands as nuclear power plants. There biggest players however are militaries of states with n

But nuclear or fossil is a false dichotomy: There are also renewables, which of course have their difficulties with intermittency but are often already now the cheapest electricity source.

How many of the languages that were spoken 10000 years ago do we still speak? Launching nuclear waste in space is dangerous, not because of what it will do there but because a lot of rockets explode on their way there scattering parts as fi

Probably homes aren’t connected through a gas pipe though. You can even heat with gas in that case but need a lot of storage room for the gas then, so it’s pretty uncommon especially in cities.

My guess is work safety regulations. There are regulations that your desk is big enough, that your chair can be moved and has at least five wheels so that it stands stable. There are also regulations that you need enough (natural) light, wh

A German perspective here: In high interest times all banks can offer free bank accounts, in low interest times people flee from brick and mortar banks when they start to ask fees. Even if your bank does not have a physical branch, you can

If you are actually producing e-scooters it could make sense as well when you have plans for reducing your costs long term through economy of scale so you reach the minimum efficient scale.

DRY comes from a time where you had people not using abstractions at all. I have seen code from the 80s where code for printing forms were one function each writing directly what gets sent to the printer for each form with no abstraction at

The problem with all those examples is that they are specializations, but that's not really how inheritance works in OOP languages and more resembles refinement types. A square is a rectangle with the condition, that both sides have th
