But rock climbing doesn't have the gear heads of other hobbies - at least, I've never encountered these. There are definitely people that enjoy the technical aspects of how to best secure yourself with your gear, what knots to use

Richard David Precht is a poor caricature of a French public intellectual figure and loves to create outrage to stay relevant. He lives off the same mainstream media that he criticizes.

I think you should read up on what ICE bans in countries where they are implemented actually means. Hint: You can continue to use the ICE vehicle you bought in 2034 in the EU until infinity.

Wouldn‘t this be a tax on capital, in the end? In the end, we might reach the marxist stage of history - we should all own the robots that produce our stuff.

But that would require that we start taxing companies far more and stop the global tax evasion mechanisms. I fear automation is just going to further increase inequality and devastate the middle class. But that has been predicted for every

The problem with these discussions is always that we are laymen using handwaving arguments to push for or against a topic. So useless all in all and just aiming for winning an argument instead of trying to solve a problem. Frustrating. Let&

Care to put some numbers on the no wind/no sun scenario? As an example, the share of renewables in Germany never dropped below 30% last year and that only happened a couple of days. Average renewable contribution was >50%.

There hasn‘t been a single day in Germany last year where renewable energy dropped below 30% of consumption. So overbuilt geographically dispersed systems can handle a very wide range of weather conditions, even without battery and hydrogen

Sounds like a very common approach - build a small atomic feature front to end, test it, expand on top of that. This is, for example, the suggested approach in the Shape Up process. Works quite well for my team.

Real bread lasts a week, if stored appropriately. Though self-baking with sourdough is definitely not an option for everyone.

Exactly. Thinking like a physicist is still pretty uncommon in biology, especially biological education. Hence the strong influence physicists had on the field. It also seems like there‘s still a mathematical framework missing to handle bio

Interesting, indeed. I wrote my PhD in mathematical modeling in biology nearly 15 years ago, when systems biology was all the hype - I left the field ages ago, but it seems like there has not been significant progress into using mathematica

You open-sourced your code - isn't this scrutiny exactly what you would want to achieve? Alternatively, I would expect these reports to be reported via your issues tracker.

That needs to be balanced as well, same as all things. A retro every two weeks is a lot and brings too much overhead into the process. Same with the constant refinements and groomings and plannings and whatever. A team or a subteam needs to

Disagree there as declared identity depends on context. In the US or Asia I am a European. In France I am a German. In Germany I am Bavarian. There are layers to identities.

You do seem to have a very outside view on things and haven‘t followed the news from the UK much lately if you come to that conclusion. Maybe read some UK newspapers from time to time.

Thanks, but with the UK leaving the EU, it's even harder to have an account with them. Should have mentioned that I'm located in Germany.
