I agree, but you have to realize that very often people call it some other names, like "talent" even though it actually means the exact same thing, it is much more politically correct. And it is indeed what it is. IQ is very herit

The thing is you could run the nuclear stations at almost full tilt pretty much all the time while your wind turbines park will output as you noted about 35% of their theoretical capacity. So, it's cheaper but its output is also almost

Yes, collaborator is a nice way to put it. I have had the (dis)pleasure of spending a bit of time near Brussels with some people that do "work" tightly related/linked to EU stuff. This is EXACTLY what it feels like; and in mo

Yep, and that's even before mentioning the absurd cost it has for the little real benefits the citizen truly experience. I don't know about the poorer countries in EU, maybe they get net positive benefits; but as far as I can tell

Pretty much. And since they are seen as "better" or more "educated" than the actual workers they are most of the time paid much more, so even though technically there might be less of them, they cost quite a lot more to

At least that's the mythology he wants you to believe. But if you truly believe that I'm going to say you need to take a hard look at how humans really operate and stop taking stuff said as truth. Because even when people say some

Expect the number of cases where it would give a real advantage would be pretty small. In all the cases presented, Apple gets completely destroyed even with their best chip at around 10x worse; that is before even talking about the cost, af

The Apple spin doctors are hard at work. This is one way to see things. The way I see it, is that M3 performance cores are faster in some situations but also not that much faster. The efficiency cores are almost as fast as M1 cores but also

But that's argument absurdum considering the price. Yes, it can do that, but you can also do that much better with a cheaper combo that gets you more actual hardware... Which is exactly what the OP is saying. And I agree, laptops are g

AirPods success have nothing to do with the actual technology involved and everything to do with the ability to display wealth, or social status. Just like the mediocre included earbuds with iPods were very popular even as a replacement or

They are delusional and will defend the Apple trillion corp to the death for some reason. Actually, the reality is that they don't want to come to terms with it. Because while Apple pretend to be operating in good faith, they have been

You are delusional, the iPhone was cheaper at launch than it has ever been after. If they changed the price, it cannot be just a small change, and they cannot lower the quality that much (because the much cheaper alternatives are not that f

Expect there were extremely large differences both in software (how you could use your device, with just a finger instead of stylus) and hardware (glass and better overall display). And they did that at the same price the high-end phones we

The current crop of Apple fanboys apologist has left all logics and facts out of the door, so I don't expect telling them something true will have any effect. In fact, they are the sole reason Apple has been able to charge those ludicr

Pretty much. Under Tim Cook, Apple has become the greediest corporation ever, for products that are just about competitive with the overall technology market. But since they have fanboys that created some sort of cult they can get away with

While I understand what you mean, you gotta be extremely strapped for space for that to be a true argument. For the 500 bucks a Meta Quest will cost, you could get a pretty decent 4K TV or display. Definitely not the best thing around but i

There is no iPhone moment possible. The iPhone replaced at least 2 existing devices at a digestible price. Indeed, if you bought an iPad Nano plus a good feature phone or one of the early smartphones you would be close to the iPhone price.

Yeah, that's definitely the problem with Apple today. The products aren't bad at all but for the price asked they feel way too much like a better copy/version of whatever cheaper model exists in the same category. Sure, the

Yeah, AliExpress is on another level of insanity. I just don't get how and why exactly. Seems like it gets people confused and spend a lot of time/money in there ? At least the website seems to be getting slightly better now. I di

You are right in that Germany going into nuclear would not benefit France, the I think the broader point is that someone has to do it, to provide some certainty. But as you say if we were to optimise the installations for the strength of th

I agree that's pretty decent. Especially since it consume no energy...

So rich enough to buy an expensive "Pro" last generation phone from Apple but not rich enough to also purchase a dedicated console to connect to his TV so he can play without draining the battery and monopolizing his primary commu

This is what I thought, but then I got a PC for gaming. Now I use it for pretty much everything. It has outperformed and outlasted every single Macs I have owned at half the price. I don't need to resale since it is very easily mainte

That's right but if we consider the recommended amounts, it is improbable that they would be able to store so much. I grew up in a house from the 12th century that was a priory. There was only a small associated dependency that had a d

I agree on that logic but what I don't agree with is that France could only sell when electricity is cheap. If Germany would be subjected to actual regulation on their coal usage during the winter and actually would pay the real cost w

You are more likely to be on the side of wrong to be honest. Considering vegetables couldn't have been largely available in winter in the east/north part of Europe, it is unlikely that they are necessary for a healthy life (consid

Yeah, Apple has a remote app but you need to be on the same local network and connect to the remote library and then can't add stuff from Apple Music. It all feels so antiquated and inelegant. Some people are complaining about Spotify

by seec 3y ago
Yeah, the only reason this is a concern and a problem sometimes is because of Apple greed. Considering how much they charge for storage, you don't go for the large version, and since everything is soldered then it might become a proble

Thanks for actually reading, I didn't have time and I was on mobile at the time (I had a hunch it wasn't worth it anyway). This is not surprising and, in my opinion, completely invalidates the results. They just proved lowering ca

I have no clue what you are trying to argue? If anything, you are proving that France could export even more nuclear or be completely self-reliant if it wasn't forced by obtuses EU regulation to temper their electrical industry strengt
