So to put it short: if I know what I'm talking about I'll use K, and if I have no idea it doesn't matter anyway.

Like other commenters just said: just buy less. On the surface everybody agrees, but on the streets everybody buys more, and throw stones at the police when they are blocked doing it. So how is it? It seems this evidence "buy less"

Allow me to remind you that Churchill quote: "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others". Or in this situation, pensions are the worst form of retirement savings, except for all the others. Political par

Funny enough most of those are not and have zero chances to ever be a millionaire, yet they're defending their overlords often with their lives (not a metaphor, just think healthcare)

"some of you might die, but it's a risk I'm willing to take" - CEO handbook quote (only slightly paraphrased). This is all the risk there is for a CEO, change my mind.

Children or not, I don't believe I'd want such a friend around in any case. Which is also a choice, just based on something different than what you think.

Swiss new housing isn't mandated to have underground bomb shelters as of late, but people are still planned to a shelter nearby - indeed schools or whatever else.

I've been on both sides of this fence and I beg you to reconsider. First of all, going out with small children is an enterprise not to be underestimated: packing bottles, the favorite toys, getting the kid(s) dressed... and then the sa

I actually don't like his tone in the article. Why should the Swiss even care what is perceived as rude other countries, staring or whatever? There's this common view that immigrants from poor countries should adapt and integrate,

Your point makes totally sense and it also sounds like a robotic overlord from some SF dystopia: cold and following its own programmed rules to the painful detail. As the other commenter pointed out: you are definitely right and we see your

If the entire picture was so dark nobody would have used banks for anything, all across history. The banks were created by those having the means to open banks, not by charities, so it should be obvious that they will serve primarily their

The global trend is racing to the bottom, so even if they could, every business consultant or MBA would push them to rather put more AI agents instead. Because that's all what matters (to them). Did anybody learn anything out of this?

Switzerland had for 5 years between 2016 and 2021 a few autonomous regional buses in test drives, with only one incident (a broken glass). At some point the test was stopped and the results buried, without any explanation or followup.

Maybe pointing out the obvious but I'd rephrase that to "how bad US city buses are". And I believe it's not only a matter of regulations, but following a whole culture who in general is not exactly in favor of doing anyt

Thank you! All the article shows for this context is that people in higher places tend to get self-serving. I don't think (or, there's not much evidence) that McNamara or Musk actually believed what they're spreading, but the

That's because RandomDude8914327 doesn't bother with facts, they'll just build imaginary arguments to fit together nicely, thus generating something stable and logical and convincing- just devoid of reality.

I can't read that not having a subscription to FT, but I'd say you'll have way more conspiracy theorists in the less educated people. Is the article of a different opinion?

But will they be exchanging anything, and would that anything be worth calling "information"? There's a lot of assumptions in this sentence, to the level of calling it magical thinking. (Our) AI is not magic, and is only inte

I am not sure through which lens I should read this comment. Is it sarcasm, or hope? Because as seen from my side, the wealth gets mainly transferred to a handful of billionaires, and that process is only speeding up. But maybe I'm jus
