Yeah but does anybody buy it? In my store the peripherals are covered in dust... And it's some cheap Chinese knockoff, nothing like the old high quality ones.

That would make sense in a world where the surrounding location is completely static, but generally as a town/city grows it's much more desirable - more work for better wages, more business opportunities, economies of scale, bette

I haven't used USB-A single time since 2018... My USB-C display has it on its hub, but who cares...

This begs the more important question... Why does it take only one more person to end the world than to change some numbers in excel?

BTW one more point... Publicly traded companies in Europe are not as usual as in the US. It's mostly private equity here. You can't just buy stocks or bonds, it's either very high risk or very low yield.

With conventional methods price and size of the spaceship portion dedicated to propulsion scale with the mass it's carrying. If we could build a massive spaceship that costs a lot to build but runs cheaply, doesn't need refueling

Most probably for the workers and AIs mining the asteroid belt. It's too far away to control remotely from Earth.

Does any other manufacturer produce their own? I think the major issue is that other companies are integrators of cheapest bids for components, not computer companies.

Looks very corelated to the growth of renewable generation capacity...

It is if you're carrying megatons of medical supplies, computer chips, or other high value goods.

Your mistake is assuming France is socialist just because of its relatively generous welfare. It's actually neoliberal capitalism with strong preference for large corporations. And that's why this would lead to a protest or at lea

Yeah, sure. As I said, I don't agree nor disagree. As far as I know, rental income is taxed everywhere in EU. I just answered why the people would revolt or vote against it - because they're probably still right there in that same

Again, that might be true in Australia, but there are zero fossil fuel suppliers where I live. Coal mines were closed a decade ago because there was no more blank coal left and we have zero gas.

I am not French but I live a country or two over. Here it's mostly people who own 1-5 apartments in the city they live in, they definitely pay taxes there. And short term rentals are definitely not as simple as "profiting from lan

You have academic theories, I'm getting practical information from my electricity invoice. The energy regulation office informed me about the necessary power grid operation budget increase through it when they doubled the distribution

Because it's the locals who own it, even if they live elsewhere in the city. It's probably their pension income. Flats are usually owned personally by small scale owners in Europe, it's not like the huge funds and corporatio

I have lived in an apartment my entire life. I'm in a building with 15 floors and 5 flats on each right now. My direct neighbors have a newborn baby. I don't hear a thing, literally - I wouldn't know there are other people if

We're talking about France, fix the law too much and heads will roll, or at least cars burn.

There was no blackout in my country past 30 years. The last one was before the revolution, that was before we had enough nuclear. It's a shock that they have been investing incredible amounts of money into it for decades and still coul

Won't make an useful engine? Maybe for some Star Trek fanboys. It'd be the most useful engine ever to anyone grounded in reality if it doesn't need reaction mass

Cheaper compared to what? In my country people recently installed a significant amount of small-scale solar (over 50k households in 2023 compared to 1000 in 2020), in addition to large scale solar and wind generators. Did our electricity ge
