I really hope there will be some competition to the Apple M1 chip soon. All other laptops seems bulky, noisy and powerconsuming compared to the MacBook Pro M1 I've been using for a year now.

The best way for animals to survive in our modern world, would be to help more animals open their own bank account. Large companies won't chop down all that rainforest, and kill the animals, if the rainforest is full of potential custo

OP here: in 20 years I will be 74 years old. I might be dead by then. Even if I workout and continue to do lots of pull ups every day. My four kids would be happy though.

It seems to be a bad idea to pick funds based on last months market performance. The ARKK fund used to be a hotshot. After Tesla went down today, they are now in trouble. "What to expect from funds after they gain 100% or more in a yea

Thanks for the tip! The biggest selling point for investing in funds, is being able to set it and forget it. Never the less, it is probably a good idea to make adjustments to the fund portfolio a few times a year.

All you need to make music is an iPhone and some ideas. I make music like this on my phone after the kids has gone to bed. I simply use Garageband and a couple of plugins. Sometimes I connect to a physical keyboard. https://youtu

I have been just as addicted to Hacker News as I have been addicted to Facebook. Since I discovered this site in 2007, it has at times been a daily routine to come here. Of course you don't spend as much time on HN as on FB. It only t

As a Norwegian I totally agree with you. It is not just unethical, but stupid to invest so much in searching for new old fields. When demand for oil drops, Norway could have a Kodak moment.

There's a huge price difference between electric cars and gas fueled cars here in Norway. Gas fueled car buyers have to pay both 25 percent VAT and an additional tax on purchase. Buyers don't have to pay neither of those taxes if

Just discovered that several video sharing sites, like pexels.com, have a download button on videos with creative commons license. They are off course useless for professional YouTubers, but great for everybody else.

This makes me remember that people with the same dreams and urge for fast food as myself, has been living on this planet for thousands of year. And of course - memento mori (remember that you have to die).
