If an engine does not meet the requirements and because of this, cannot be sold on a market as large as the US or Europe, this is a big thing. Unthinkable, that this has been measured and not been reported, but instead quickly and silently

"But find what works for you, do what feels good, don't compare yourself to others, and enjoy yourself." That sounds good and right, especially 'don't compare yourself to others'. It is a good Zen training to l

Yes, honestly, I agree. Hamburg is my birthplace. Looking at the architectural plans for the olympic village, I must say, I like what I see. But indeed, professional sports has such a bad image currently. Too much money involved. It is not

Well, look into our towns and calculate the number of square centimeters of the rooftops that are available for every household, in say, a 100 household houses. Ground area shrinks and height increases. I'd like to think you are right

Lithium allows solar already to replace fuel. Does it? Sodium is cheaper so the battery will be cheaper is certainly naive. The prices are not made from the costs of the components but from the market. Sodium batteries will have trouble to

I see the point that it is smarter to use Sodium instead of Lithium. But where is the revolution, as the capacity is comparable? Lets see, if the number of recharging cycles will really be twice as large (2000 instead of 1000). That would e

"Considering you and the landlord have opposite goals..." They don't. Both want long term stability although some owners don't know that this is what they want :o). Landlords who try to maximise the rent face quick chang

To my knowledge, the law is the same everywhere in Germany. Berlin makes a good example with still low prices because of its history. But there is certainly more protest against investors in Berlin compared to Munich. And more protection fr

Munich here. Most expensive city in Germany in absolute prices and second expensive relative the the average income (Freiburg is top there). 12 Euros per square meter average rent. In good locations, 20 is asked regularly. More than 30 for

No source link. As I have written, my dentist told me. His thesis is published but certainly rots in some archives. If you want to know about the statistical correlation between beef consumption and cancer risk - do yourself a favour and ju

uhtred, I hope you expected to be downvoted :o). My dentist, who also has a phd in chemistry, always tells my about beef. Beef has to rest for a while in the cold storage until it becomes soft and eatable for humans. During this time, which

I guess, cities advertise for themselves because of tax reasons (you work there, you pay your taxes there). And ads for cities are supported by local businesses. They pay for the ads and get paid by you in return, if you fall for the ads an

Can't help a smile: Our pun is downvoted to be the least helpful on this page. Now look at the top rated contribution. A few more words but essentially the same meaning. Its just that the original nytimes article is so ridiculous, tha

"It’s a view that carries weight because of Inamori’s success." This bloomberg sentence fits well to my understanding of many businesses: their leaders don't use their brains, they follow the crowd. The author does a puzzling

Very funny and useful. Seems that the scientific method can and should be applied to nearly everything successfully :o).

"Until you get hurt and have to walk home," You make me laugh. I run since - 30 years? Once in this time I hurt myself, once my wife fell badly and we had to walk home in the cold. Despite of this, we are still alive and well. Oto

"cruelty-free materials" Well, the materials are not cruel. Its humans treating the animals. That's no reason not to wear these materials. It's a reason to find the right suppliers. Certainly a good point. Another issue

"But wool itches" Some does. Wool should't touch the skin. Same with leather, btw. because of the chemical residuals from tanning.

"Cotton is cold when wet" yes, I see that point. For mountain climbers this is bad. For runners, its ok. At least I only stop when I am done and then I take a shower. Even in winter I run with a cotton t-shirt under a cotton sweat

Most shocking - because unexpected - news to me is the plastic waste from the laundry. First time I read about that was only a few months ago. It means, all our super high tech modern wear finally poisons our drinking water. And the most sp

"Korean eunuchs may have the answer" yes, the key word in this sentence is "may". So the author discloses himself as a best guesser. The same wording is used in the articles about longevity and beer vs. wine. "If d

"... OUT LOUD." Thomas Mann did that (among other authors). He used to read his work to his family. Just look, how complex and hard to read some of his later work still is. And how complex the sentences are structured. It is no gu

Good to read that there are good contractors. How do you identify the good ones? Just apply and see?

That's good news! I could never image to work for a company that works for companies. Doing good work is rarely honoured or even noticed. And who cares. Good, that even non-tech people start to understand. How long did it take.

If I wrote "A must read for every physics student" then it felt more like duty. But actually it is fun to read the Feynman lectures because they are so inspiring. One of those rare books that are written so well that it becomes fu
