Sorry, was busy with work a few days. Well, the answer is not as easy as "biofuels". Where do the "biofuels" come from (e.g. cow shit might have enough energy if filtered correctly, but we already have too many cows on t

You can't really blame people for looking out for themselves in the short run, but still I think it's a little weak to leave one of the biggest tech endeavours to do something else. Honestly, if I would work in a key role in Tesla

Because they are involved in other car companies and they would lose something if Tesla beats the car companies they are involved with. For instance if you are a supplier and have super good relationships with Ford then you don't want

When you read "blockchain" always think "decentralized: cool; wasteful: not cool". I think it was designed like this on purpose, but besides creating a value store it's not a reasonable choice. Also it's a list

The question is how much this matters if you already have 2-5 active microphones listening in when there are two normal people in the room. I bet if the CIA wants they can get enough data from the audio alone to even say who looked at whom

You probably have experienced two people fighting with each other, both only living in their own information bubble, both claiming to see the truth. I agree with you that your understanding goes deeper realizing that both are just as much t

Hoped for a scientific study, got philosophical bla bla. Yes, there are people, probably the author as well, who are resilient to actually seeing facts. Just as the joke about fat people and zombie apocalypses go: Be nice to them, they will

Simulations with numbers are also models. You can make them indefinitely more complex and still have a model that is only an approximation of reality.

The center of gravitation is also just a simplification, or how scientists call it: "a model". Actually everything gravitates around everything else, as the article also explains. Models, or simplifications, aren't bad though

Regarding Greenspun I have to think about a colleague. He is a studied mathematician. So in the past 15 years he was working on a tool in Perl. Now he switched teams and is tasked to work on a Python problem. You don't hear about him f

you assume that organizations with inofficial power webs only have official goals? The inofficial goals might strive very well while the official organisation struggles. For instance I assume even if McDonalds shops struggle financially McD

read up on the Huawei CEO interview. They won't compete over tech where they don't feel to be a technical market leader. In 5G they claim to be 2-3 years ahead, so they will fight for it and think they have a good chance of winnin

Interesting how human nature always wants to blame everything on one source. AWS might be bad, no argument against it. But the truth is there is more and more speaking about the end of open source as we know it. E.g. smartphones (the most u

On one side it's depressing, but on the other side it's not as harsh as media wants us to believe in recent years. -30% is not "one house and 2 cars less than the parents", as many articles claimed over at least 2018.

Why was this downvoted? It is a very reasonable opinion about anything said in a cold war. You can even disagree with that assumption and still should consider that it might be just such a hack. The strengths of western society is not being

It's a great idea. If you additionally also like working with chroots you might find containers an interesting topic. Basically a container let's you wrap a part of your filesystem, network, process space in a separate world of it
