I don't know. Buffett had a good example of, if you organized a national coin flipping contest in the US, you would have people that won 25+ coin tosses in a row. Are these people good at calling coin tosses or is it just chance? You c

I don't think that's surprising because the alternative would be that some people are able to predict the future. Whatever strategy one might figure out that works is long term destined to fail, as other people start using them. T

Because you need to install things to get things done. In the world of perfect security and order it's impossible to get anything done, much the same as it's impossible to do in complete chaos. I am telling people to wear helmets

The report of my demise was greatly exaggerated. I see 10 people in my address book that I could theoretically send money via Wero. Hundreds of people in my address book have a Visa or a MasterCard. It's not a bad thing to have competi

It's a good idea if you're driving looking at the rear view mirror. Roof tiles are a thing of the past. It matches what I think a roof is, but if you can do the same thing for a fraction of the price it will win out, and for the n

I wrote my first CSS 20 years ago, and one thing I can say for sure is that it's impossible to really structure your CSS in this way. The structure will break down over time and it will anyway be buggy and you'll be chasing your t

Thanks for the hint. I'd always thought the movie was inspired by Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse 5. The premise was the same, and even the aliens looked somewhat similar. Vonnegut jokingly described them as an upside down toilet brush.

It would be difficult to judge me as being upset because of your criticism since I've never responded to your criticism before. And for not needing to say it: actually yes it is needed. Nobody said consumer rights are performative, it

They never said they don't care about consumer right, but that your over the top comments and ad hominem attacks smell more of drama than of consumer rights. I hope I never produce the words "return to mindless consuming" jus

Flowers for women's day is another ultimately weird tradition in many countries. Weird because the point of women's day is equality and not to be treated like our little special ladies. I always half jokingly said a more suitable

Yes, that's what I meant with crazy expensive, mostly the concessions. The tickets I am ok with, I am in th end going there for the big screen and experience, not to eat crappy food. I go with my kids, and it's just painful. We w

It's not the ads, but they're not helping. I still like to go to theaters, but am thinking if not going anymore because I can't really take it. I don't go to AMC since not in the US, but where I go you can't even sk

It's useless for the example given because obfuscating JavaScript as protection no longer has any purpose, if you can let AI analyze the code, and/or in this case the API requests. I recently did use a variation of this type of se

You would also find other results (this assumes what you're searching for is not a random made up thing). The issue with LLMs is IMHO bigger because it will give you answers as a matter of fact without any other consideration.

Correct. Funny enough though, their corporate structure and the name AG means they do have stocks, but they are not traded and 100% privately owned. For some reason I see this often with German companies, e.g. the German railway. Not sure w

I can't not write the tired comment of how ridiculous it is to criticize AI and then use AI to write your article. It's tired, but so is this writing style. For the actual problem, I fear this can't be solved by warning peopl

There is an old New York Times article (90s) that makes the same conclusion. The only real way to reduce the issue is to eat then more often. Personally never had big issues with beans. What's far worse for me is anything with a high i

I learned to swim at an older age and my instructor told me this because at the time a person died screwing around in a boat with his family. Jumped into the water on a hot day and dived for fun, but never came back up.

It's less than half of what it was even 15 years ago. And it didn't replace that with natural gas like the US but with wind and solar.

Others have touched on the other points, but I would like to point out also that China using 2x the energy with 4x the population speaks more in favour of China than the US. The US also uses fossil fuels to generate more than half of its el

There are no losses in generating from solar which is the topic of the article. There is no loss since there is no fuel. There is a loss in transmission but not enough to offset the roughly 4x reduction in energy use. As the other person al

While your statement is true your graph is misleading for two reasons. 1) comparison of spent energy for fossil fuels vs electricity is not a good way to do it because electric motors use less for the same output. Compare kWh per 100km for

So the problem of skyrocketing oil prices because of the Iranian control of Hormuz will be solved by a blockade, which will prevent even more oil from reaching the market. Nobody is 1) this stupid to do it 2) this stupid to bite on this th

No. If you electrify residential heating and transportation it will obviously go down. If there are sectors where you can't do that, it will still overall go down because those other sectors will not go up to make up for the reduction.

I am big fan of renewables, but I disagree on your conclusion. The main reason is purely financial, the incumbenta do not want to lose their investment so they spend a lot of money on manipulation and lobbying. Another big reason is that po
