> I think it's highly unlikely that Germany will offshore its Mittelstand.

I didn't say they will.

> I'm not really sure what point you're making here.

A significant portion of renewables aren't as environmentally friendly as we think.

> This is 100% your tangent... why mention Saudi Arabia and Norway PR on an article about Germany?

Norway releases tons of PR about how environmentally friendly they are especially by how much EVs they buy. But on a closer look, they produce as much oil as saudi arabia on a per capita basis.

I picked Saudi Arabia because they are the closest per capita producers to norway. I provided the source. Sort by "per capita" and you'll see norway right below saudi arabia. I picked saudi arabia because nobody in their right mind would say saudi arabia is "environmentally friendly". And yet we pretend norway is.

My point is that european countries aren't as environmentally friendly as their PR says they are. Shipping garbage to china and claiming you recycle 100% of your garbage is not environmentally friendly. Producing as much oil as saudi arabia and buying a few EVs doesn't make you environmentally friendly. Releasing PR saying you are environmentally friendly doesn't make you environmentally friendly. Not sure why you are injecting geopolitics, democracy, etc into this.

If you speak in your country and someone hears it where it's illegal then that's of no interest to you. But if you visit someone's home and they add your name to their guestbook you may care that you're in the records.

A custom shader is an incredible feat?
Sure, there will always be some folks that cannot, for whatever cause, enjoy overnight charging where they park. For those folks, it is essentially a lateral move. They can enjoy the performance benefits, of course, but their running costs and convenience probably won't be any better with an EV.

Who knows, though, maybe one-plug-per-spot will become enough of a selling point that apartment owners will start to deploy the infrastructure. I don't think it will affect EV adoption one way or the other, however, at least not for a number of years. Apartment dwellers are just a fraction of car owners.

The point of sanctions is to show the world that economic collapse is worse than war.

How many Russians know they can't access their money? How many didn't bother to show up to work because they won't have customers. Knowing their boss can't pay them. How many Russians see that the troops aren't even near these new republics... that this was an invasion.

And the war is going very badly for Russia against a definite underdog. Russia is rushing to peace talks because they are losing.

If we as the human species can show even a nuclear power like Russia is unable to win a war of aggression because of sanctions. We become post-war. We can start working together worldwide to raise everyone up.

Please point me out to any operating breeding reactor and how much nuclear fuel it can process. The French shut down their breeding reactors long ago, the only existing ones I know of are Russian, right now they are an even worse reference.
I don't doubt they could be built, but the question is, what would they cost?

Please point me out to a nuclear reactor design that can be switched from 100% to 0% in the matter of hours and back again.
It's not really about the manager trusting the team, it's the other way around, gaining the trust of your reports. If you don't trust your team to achieve their goals, then yes you do have a problem and you can address that in all kinds of ways. But by default you should trust the team. On the other hand, you don't deserve your team's trust until you've earned it.

From the military side you might be familiar with Auftragstaktik [0]. Basically, you set the goal and a timeframe and let the team figure out how to achieve it. You have to connect their work to some kind of success metric. Otherwise you're just saying something like "we have to implement Devops", as a goal in itself, not connected to anything else.

It's true. Crypto-currencies operate in a black market and therefore enable people to circumvent financial regulations. But circumventing regulations put up by incompetent governments doesn't address the root of the problem which is the fact that you have an incompetent government, and this has a whole range of consequences that go beyond mere currency issues, and that you won't be able to "circumvent" with or without crypto-currencies. So, in my opinion, you really need to address the problem and abandon the illusion that crypto-currencies will fix anything.

About the management, I really liked what "the dictators handbook" had to say about this.

As I recall,it argues that a country rich in resources is more likely to be poorly managed. One of the reasons is because in that case the leaders only have to worry about that resource.
In a less resourceful county they need to care more about the people, because the people are required to generate wealth.
A lot of people are crazy enough to think that if we get rid of the military no one will take a vantage of the situation.
Yes after the normalization of diplomatic relations. But as you've noticed, these relations are increasingly being torn apart. War hawks are filling the ranks in US government. See e.g. AUKUS.

Ahh. We're talking about different market segments.

The highest performing bulbs we have are also the cheapest. We went with hyperikon bulbs, IKEA pendant fixtures and mid to low end lutron dimmers in some rooms.

Those are totally fine. In hindsight, I'd probably have gone with 100% IKEA pendant fixtures that use standard bulbs and populate them with hyperikon bulbs. Sadly, hyperikon apparently went out of business. Thanks, Covid! Surely some other company makes decent dumb bulbs these days. No idea who, though.

The problems start once you buy modern fixtures, where the LEDs and power converters are integrated into the fixture itself.
Downvoter(s), care to explain?
You’re arguing why the office doesn’t need to be democratically chosen.

That’s fair. A well run society has more than democracy - it also has skilled civil servants, a commitment to rule of law, protection for individual rights, etc.

But when people complain the EU isn’t democratic enough, they mean it’s too focused on skilled administrators.
One thing to realize is that EV's have significantly lower emissions even on a grid that has no renewables. Power plants are much bigger than car engines, so they lose way less energy to heat. Also, the grid is more efficient than trucking gas around to gas stations. All in all, an EV will use about half the fuel as a gas car even before you start looking at renewable energy. Also, EVs change where emissions happen which is a major win for air quality.

With wind they are other issues, it's very unpredictable far ahead, you need a lot of places to put them and it's already at maximum theoretical efficiency already after 100 years of evolution so there's not even a hope it will improve unlike solar.

At the end yeah you can get out of all of these issues by building 10x the required capacity, but that is reflected on the price and the space to build all of this though.
It was amazing that within ~24hrs of Linus releasing `.git` there were corresponding implementations of the backing data store within ~1 week for all the other "major" competing version control systems (eg: hg, svn, darcs) and written in just about every possible language.

The core of git is brutally simple and efficient, and maps incredibly well to "a linked list (and hash) of files serialized to disk".

Someone wrote somewhere "I used to wonder if Linus was a genius but Git proves it to be true. Anybody could have (re-)written a *NIX implementation, but Linus invented Git from whole cloth."

>The title is actually a good encapsulation, and not at all click bait.

I, too, thought it was an attack on Toyota based on the title. I see where you're coming from in saying that it's not, but because many of us have stated that we were confused by the title, I don't think it's fair to say that it's "not at all" click bait. It is, at least just a teensy bit.
I'm treating parsing the news as an exercise in recognizing disinformation instead of just watching in horror. There's so many parties between what's actually happening and my news feed that I feel there's guaranteed to be genuine war-time propaganda showing up. I want to build the muscle required to recognize that stuff so that when the same tactics are used by/against my country later in life, I'll be practiced at calling it out.

That Ghost of Kyiv story? Immediately called the clip BS since it's like Propaganda 101. Turns out the video on my timeline was from a video game.

There are some who claim there is evidence that "Albert Einstein" is really a shortcut/brand name for the husband-and-wife team comprising Albert and his first wife Mileva Maric; I read somewhere that they decided to put only his name on the papers to make it more likely that he may get a permanent job. His wife and fellow student certainly was intellectually involved, and Albert wrote to his wife once: "How happy I am to have found in you an equal creature". She was smart yet failed her final exams. (He left her for his own cousin.)
Really gives me "Redesign your logo" Pepsi vibes.

I suppose if you're paying six or seven figures for design work you expect more of an answer than "yeah I thought it looked cool". As well as trying to tie it into whatever fluffy corporate image to please the higher ups with a "detailed" workup on why it's worth it.
Pre-internet: Most programmers I knew had walls of books of reference material. Books like "PC Interrupts", the "386 system design guide", "Zen of Code Optimization" etc.

And I didn't know many programmers. Computers were expensive and so was the software and reference books. I was lucky enough to be able to afford these things.

Also, everything was just slower before the internet. At the rate things change now-- it doesn't make sense to publish books about most programming topics that change much faster than than a book could possibly be published.

The internet also changed computing in general because, that's when computers started working against us (the beginning of surveillance capitalism).
