It’s not only about longevity in time but also in terms of miles. For heavy users and given a standard range of 250+ miles, we are talking about a longevity of 1 000 000 miles. I never had a car with more than 200.000km (120 000 miles).

How? If it’s not profitable nor possible to build anything profitable right now, making it more expensive via taxing will make the situation worse.

ELSTER is available but it is extremely complicated to use. Not even my Tax advisor uses it directly. You must be the first person I’ve heard that uses it directly. For me not worth to use it having extremely good tools like the offering fr

This has nothing to do with capitalism. This is pure government intervention in a global market where other competing governments (China) are extremely interventionist already. Capitalism != Free Market

I like to talk about goals and not requirements. What is your product goal? Both for the customer (solving a problem) and for the company(solve a marketing need, make money)? Can you proof that you are meeting both? Then you are validating

Just by reading the headlines I immediately suspected the topic of Verification vs Validation would be involved. I still cannot comprehend why it is still such a gap in many software projects I have worked in. Everyone knows about testing

It can perfectly be engineering if you have the right validation process. It is, if you can prove that the given randomness can provide satisfactory results to solve the given problem on 99,995% of the cases, then you have a product that so

The definition of good is probably the closest to doing the opposite of inflicting pain on others. There’s very little chance that you will be hated by being good. So definitely behaving or being good is not so different than behaving in a

I agree. The objective of every business is to be decided by their owners. That claim is indeed not always valid. That might be the case for basically every publicly traded company but for sure not for many small businesses.

I’ve driven a Tucson several times recently (rental). It did not crash but it was below acceptable. A 15 year old VW Golf has better handling than the Tucson.

All politicians follow their beliefs. They just become more problematic the more interventionist they are. And Habeck was extremely interventionist. On top of that he used his position of power to go against private citizens under the excus

Another advice for cooking pasta: The water does not need to be boiling the whole time. You can boil the pasta just 2 minutes, turn off the stove, close the lid and leave the pasta in the water for the rest of the time until reaching the de

I was coming to just also explain that. In my family it was exclusively used for the arroba unit of weight, used to measure the weight of animals, specially pigs and cows. In itself the word arroba comes from Arab, meaning a quarter of some

I'm sorry for your loss, I can only imagine how difficult it must feel to face a disease with so few treatment options I just would like to say that it's not capitalism that decides if money is invested in a disease or another but

I fully agree. It gives also a sense of impact in the world that might span over centuries or even longer. Sometimes I joke about the simple concept that we are all the descendants of a chain of ascendants that manage to successfully reprod

I would call that more content than happy. Interestingly in languages like Spanish, 'contento' is almost overlapping semantically with the word happy ('feliz') in its day-to-day usage, and I find it a more adequate usage

Advocating for deregulation in order to achieve innovation is the opposite of conservative. It’s not a matter of being a for profit or not. It’s an also matter of technological development. Most of the early incidents in nuclear plants happ

They are cheaper and they pass IPXX requirements on dust/water protection easily. But they seem to be good enough because customers, despite some complaints, keep buying devices with capacitive buttons.

No. You still have the right to not tip.

That would only be true in a world where every single human is able to regulate their angry emotions immediately. But that is so far away from human nature...

A small but important correction. The debt was never cancelled, but socialized and payed by all the American citizens. A loan that was taken voluntarily by adults was arbitrarily reassigned and forced upon the rest of the American citizens,

By my understanding he said that though unfortunate, gun deaths are sometimes a price to pay for the right to bear arms. Noting that less than half that gun killings in the US are committed by people that legally owned that gun. And I have

Are you expecting that all debates reach the level of a Chomsky-Foucault debate and to discard anyone below it? Are you even able to meet that level yourself? This is non-sense. Obviously we all would love to reach that level of knowledge,

That is all hypothetical. Everyone with certain level of power and wealth could then hypothetically be accountable to thousands of deaths just by mere action or lack of action. Every single politician with power to decide on budgets could b

Unfortunately that is not true anymore. Some far-left policies have been implemented or originated first in the US, in the democrat environment and later imported to Europe with more or less success. It is funny that every side believes tha

Tipping has a powerful advantage: it aligns the incentives of customers and servers almost perfectly. Because tips aren’t capped, waiters are motivated to go above and beyond to satisfy each guest. Without tipping, the server’s motivation o

Marketing is extremely necessary in order to have competitive markets. We can discuss about what are the best means or even limits in the contents of advertising but making it illegal is non sense.
