The companies have to refinance their debt perpetually to avoid default, which is where the banks make money. Also, that debt will then be repackaged and sold to others, so the banks won't be the bag holders.

It's funny that in a thread with so many unhinged comments (psyop or psychosis), someone notices that China is the lone country dumping its dollars and comes to the tamest, most naive conclusion, that they employ better economists than

You're looking at consumer prices of electricity two weeks after Gazprom stopped its gas deliveries to Germany indefinitely, which lead to a heavy price shock. The graphic also ignores that some countries like France simply prohibited

WebAssembly only gives better performance for things that shouldn't be done in the UI main-thread. As long as you don't do number crunching in the mouse move event handler, I doubt WebAssembly can beat vanilla JavaScript for react

The only "anti-nuke" movement the Soviet Union was interested in and funded was the one against nuclear weapons being stationed in Europe, which had little to do with the Greens. Protests against nuclear power were almost always l

I want summer time all year. In winter it really doesn't matter if the sun rises at 8am or 9am and if it sets at 4pm or 5pm, it's depressing no matter what. But with winter time in summer, you rob working people of a chance to cat

I've only experienced him polite and responsive. That said, maintaining Keras must have been an unhealthy amount of work for one person, and I think OSS developers in that situation deserve the benefit of doubt that being brusque or ig

This did apply, otherwise they would have been immediately liable. They only faced liability for not complying with an injunction. The relevant law is §7 paragraph 3 and 4.

There is this legend that Rupert Murdoch said he doesn't like the EU because he can walk into Downing Street and everyone listens, but he can't do that in Brussels. He was wrong, just like the EU politicians who say that big power

The cookie law isn't stupid, it even says that giving consent should be as user-friendly as possible - a browser setting even. The problem with this (for the ad-industry, not for the users) is that there is no such thing as blanket con

Norway had trouble with hydro power because of low water levels. Compared to 2021, hydro power was down 10%, imports went up by 60%, and exports remained the same. And for the record, Germany didn't have any trouble with electricity la

Ah, the Dolchstoßlegende of nuclear energy again. The Green movement was an absolute fringe group without power that never influenced any decision regarding nuclear energy in the 20th century.

Browsing news sites became such an unpleasant experience that I'd like to avoid it at all cost. I'm not even talking about the content, just in terms of usability these sites are a disaster. Visiting a news site will only rob me o

Still infinitely better than WASM blobs where everything is painted on a canvas, which is un-adblockable. The experience will also be hellish, because every website will ship a 10 MB blob of half-baked things that your browser already does

The shutdown had nothing to do with renewables. It was done by conservatives who, in the same year they took this step, proudly proclaimed that they stopped the buildout of PV in Germany.

No venture capital for juicers and no paper mills. If you want to widen your horizon, maybe you should ask how Europe can produce working mRNA vaccines and level 3 autonomous cars at a fraction of the cost.

This feels like arguing that asbestos isn't dangerous in many forms (it isn't or doesn't have to be) and then denying that people got sick at an asbestos shoveling contest.

On Windows, it had to compete with C++, Delphi, and a brand-new C#. That's a tough competition, considering that all these languages offered IDEs with fancy GUI builders. On Linux, it didn't feel at home because the D compiler was

Perspective is key: Germany's electricity generation from coal increased by 8% or 16 TWh while Germany's electricity exports increased by 50% to 26 TWh net. Europe was in a difficult situation for various reasons.
