The opening paragraph of the article, which is about

"For decades, the phrase “Made in Germany” signaled cutting-edge automotive technology and design. But now German automakers are falling behind in the global race to produce more electric vehicles, and some executives are using a new catchphrase to describe how quickly they need to catch up: “China speed.”"

This has nothing to do with recent fluctuations in energy prices. Of course the price of energy impacts manufacturing. But it is not key when it comes to EV and incoming competition from Chinese brands.

In China itself, where German car manufacturers had moved very early and had a significant market share, the shift to EV is leaving German manufacturers in the dust.

In the UK, companies have tended to blame everything on Brexit to hide their shortcomings. I feel there's a bit of that rhetoric but using energy prices here.

Hey, nice work - yes, I am also in Vienna (I maintain the JUCE-based plugins for Austrian Audio - see https://austrian.audio/software/) so its nice to meet another plugin dev - any chance you'd consider giving a technical workshop on your plugins at a local hackerspace I attend (https://gtblank.org/) - there are other audio hackers in that scene who would be quite intrigued by your experience, I think!

Well, Democracies as states are a lot more than the specific selection of the members of the legislative process. But for the sake of argument, a "representative democracy" has the people vote who is going to represent them in the legislative process for a time period. Your wish is that everyone allways participates in the legislative process? That's no more "real" democracy than the other, so let's be honest and call your approach "direct democracy" because that's term those who deal with this shit professionally use.

FWIW, "direct democracy" has somehow acquired the status of a mystical saviour. It is usually flaunted by those who feel a lack of control and harbor the unproven assumption that they are part of a (silent) majority. I'm not saying that's the case with the OP. But the idea seems to be everything would be better because you would be involved in all decision making.

But I've got bad news for you, so would be all the others. Those, who disagree with you. Those, who are following the liars with easy answers to hard problems. Those, who are smart enough to form a party and steamroll individuals. Those, who have more influence beyond the decision-making process. Those, who don't care. Those, who are not well informed on the topic (this includes all of us most of the time, BTW.) But that's just the obvious stuff.

There are other hard questions: What will be decided directly? On what level? On what level of detail? Who would decide what to decide today? How do we decide? Who would decide how we decide? Who would phrase the questions? Who would provide the options? Who would count the answers? Who would implement the decisions? Who would be accountable? And so on.

At least in Germany there is a large body of literature about this topic and the general consensus seems to be that the central problem is not who makes decisisons, but the last one, accountability. You alluded to this by saying a representative could change their mind and their pension would not be at risk. Direct democracy is unlikely to solve that problem, or if it does, you could port it to representative democracies just as well.
A problem that should not be underestimated is that many aspiring writers do not know how to recognize a bad book, which is why they write many of them themselves.

> German states were up for grabs by what ever large powered had territorial ambitions

You’d still have North Germany Prussia and Austria aligned South Germany which would’ve been fairly strong power in their own right and none of the major powers (especially Britain) would’ve any interest in allowing the other to gobble up neighboring German states (that didn’t matter as much back in the 1600s due to technological/logistical/economic/etc. reasons)

> Austria was very willing to go to war in Serbia alone,

Austria was certainly not willing to go to war with Russia alone.

> After all so, as I said earlier, reasons for war in Europe were plenty

German overconfidence about their capacity to wage a war on two fronts possibly being the main one.

Also no unified Germany would have meant that France and Britain wouldn’t have had that many reasons.
In what world is programming not challenging? Not in this world. As for AI, this is and will always be a moving target. Currently, the GPT style LLMs can spit out simple functions that will mostly work up to a point. So once you get used to the operational range, it can be handy to have some LLM spit out fragments of code to save time. All this means is that simple things that you are confident you can write and verify can be somewhat automated, and you will shift your efforts to the more difficult tasks that require more care. If you can't think of more difficult tasks, then you lack imagination. The better 'AI' gets, the bigger the portion of the codebase will become automated, and the top-level cutting edge stuff will just accelerate in complexity.
hmm I'm just a bit confused; Can I make sense of it like this?

```

S = ∀z r.result[res=adder(z,r)]

adder = ∀n m.result[case(m,n,result) = plus]

plus = ∀n m. if(m=0) then result[n]
else result[s=plus(n,
pred(m)),
res=S(s)]

```

And so when we add 2 (S(S(0))) and 3 (S(S(S(0)))), we start with:

```

Z

|

S -> S -> S -> Z

|

S -> S -> Z

```

and then we would reduce it to:

```

Z

|

S -> S -> S -> S -> S -> Z

```

or am I missing something?
A blog post by the "director of Android consumer brand management".

This has to be one of the bullshittiest jobs in existence. A more accurate description would be "director of changing things around". Think about it, people with job descriptions like this can't afford to NOT make changes. If a new one comes in and his first order of action is to say "I think theb logo is just fine, there's no reason to change it", his income is in trouble. The only way to keep his job is to change things around and hope he doesn't fuck up too much.

The title irks me a lot is it suggested that every game now runs on unreal engine just because it's the only engine people know by name?

But what irks me more is the attitude of the interviewed Redfall dev.

>> Redfall is no different for us. Okay, we didn't get the start we wanted, but it's still a fun game… and we're going to keep working on it. We're going to do 60fps. We're going to get it to be a good game because we know, as a first-party studio, Game Pass lives forever. There will be people ten years from now who are going to join Game Pass, and Redfall will be there.

Going Gold seems to only mean that the game is sort of running nowadays...

This has already been clearly explained in the thread. If you care read it from the root.

The tl;dr is that you can’t know the relationship between a coworker and their manager. You may desire a world where that’s always productive but it’s simply not real.

If a manager is hostile to your coworker and you provide unsolicited feedback the manager could use your well intentioned feedback to sabotage that peer.

An example of this is “muulmen went out of their way to solve a launch blocker for my project.”

But do you know I’m not already behind on a failed project out of my control but helping in a way I believe best benefits the company? Your unsolicited feedback could be the final piece of evidence that gets me blamed for the delay and fired, even though I helped you and the company.

Do. Not. Talk. To. The. Authorities.

Speak for yourself. NEVER for anyone else.

Maybe not! That would require changeing the whole development of the beetle, and maybe the intermediate stages would not be beneficial. To give a terrible example, if you have a car and need a camper, you could rebuild the car into a camper but you would have to change everything and would not have a useable car for a long time. If instead you bought a trailer with a tent on it, you could build a perfect camping trailer over time step by step and have still use the car.
It took a different Emperor, and chancellor and different treaties dor the Bismarck system to fail. And decades. For the time, it worked fine. The Bismarck had no sqy in adapting it, and there is no way to tell if would have been able to do so if he were allowed, can hardly be blamed on Bismarck.

But I agree, Europe most likely was bound to blow up anyway. Bismarck at least tried to prevent that. Sure, most likely until he thought Prussia could win, but try, and succeed, he did. As much as he was a non-democrat, people got the Nobel Peace Price for less.

I honestly have no idea why people paint Napoleon as a proto-Hitler (mostly Brits, which is strange since Britain defeated him) and Bismarck as some kind of either incompetent idiot or yet another stepping stone that got to WW2. I don't know, maybe those people mix up Bismarck and Hindenburg in their imagination, because the actually did put Hitler and the Nazis in power.

30 years ago, when I worked at a computer shop, the manager had an original Atari ST game with a bad disk. He didn't want to throw it away, so I reformatted the disk and copied a cracked version of the game onto it using XCopy on Amiga. The cracked version didn't have any intro btw... lolz

From my experience, yes.

I am getting merried next month - we have a wedding website via "with joy", which had a URL a bit too long to fit on our wedding invites, so I set up a redirect of "wedding.surname.tld" - the amount of people who messaged us saying the website didn't work, and it turns out they were putting "www." beforehand was staggering (until I added that as a redirect too).

New gRPC Client: Kalisto
I just published my new tool I developed: https://kalisto.app.

It’s a network client(currently it supports only grpc) that allows me to use JS as a request definition instead of a JSON. You can name it grpc gui or grpc client.
The trick is it allows me to run scripts on complex user flows when I change a service.
And I just fancy it and think JSONs look weird for grpc.
I know that api/e2e tests should fix it, but sometimes it just faster/comfortable.

It’s an early draft, the next features I want to deliver is saving the requests and scripts templates. It’s even not signed yet and doesn’t have auto update, so I keep working on it.

A long description of this app is here: https://kalisto.app/blog/acceptance-testing

If anyone finds it useful I’m happy to talk about the nearest features or just some ideas/feedback.
Sorry, I just odn't understand how this can be morally relativist.

- Germany declared war on Russia - and France. Not the other way around

- Germany invaded neutral Belgium and committed atrocity after atrocity there to international outrage - which you seemed to ignore as a factor?

- France and the UK fought almost the entire war in france defending france from invasion. When Germany finally gave up on invading france the war ended.

It really seems pretty clear cut. The "both sides are as bad as each other" argument doesn't stand up at all?

Presumably, you also think that Ukraine and Russia are equally culpable.. despite that one side is clearly the aggressor and badly behaved actor that initiated the war. And it is a good parallel - if it were not for fear of nuclear annihilation that conflict could easily have escalated by now to include western powers more directly - similar to how WWI did. That doesn't mean "both sides are equally culpable, there's not bad side".

And yes with the benefit of hindsight Versailles was counterproductive, but that was later - we're talking about the war itself not the aftermath. Versailles shows that France and Britain thought Germany was responsible for the war and the "bad" side pretty strongly.
Unknown unknown catastrophic failures like this one have always happened and will continue to happen, that's why we need resilience which, probably, means a less centralised worldview.

Which should probably mean that half (or more) of the Western business world relying on Outlook.com is a very wrong thing to have in place, but as the current money incentives are not focused on resilience nor on stuff like breaking super-centralized Outlook.com-like entities down means that I'm pretty sure we'll continue having events like this one happening well into the future.

Ah, so I did. 8.1 kwh per brick sounds like a more substantial amount of energy.
They'd need about 12,235 bricks at a 100m height, which is closer to practical.

I'm still kind of skeptical. I mean, pumped hydroelectric storage is pretty cheap. It's hard to compete with that; but then maybe there are uses for a big gravity battery in a dense urban area where hydroelectric isn't an option and maybe even batteries are a potential public health and safety risk. Maybe I've spent too much time alternating between Kicad and Factorio lately, but the concept of plopping down a bypass capacitor the size of a large building to buffer out "noise" on your power grid seems kind of like a normal thing to do.

Pursuing a dream, I started re-building a prototype of a machine-learning-powered RSS readers with powerful filtering capabilities.

The strength of it is in a single button which tells the system whether you like or dislike an article. Then let the AI model to learn why that is on its own.

If you'd like to support the project, you're welcome to do so at the Patreon page this post links to.

The old prototype also works well in many cases and is still freely available for testing. Prototype currently lives at http://52.36.177.138 (it's a demo, so no domain and no SSL there, but also no real personal data required, apart from any e-mail for login and registration purposes).

I am starting to think Bitcoin is the most important component to the climate crisis. Not only can it mitigate methane via capturing stranded gas at landfills and oil wells via mining pods, but it can replace real estate as a store of wealth. Once investors migrate from real estate to BTC the housing crisis will be ameliorated and we can start building more energy efficient homes in walkable neighborhoods as the prices will come down. It can also help bootstrap remote green energy projects as an energy buyer of last resort and help stabilize the grid through mining curtailment contracts.

And if it is adopted as a global reserve currency, we can escape the fiat debt doom loop that is at the root of our grow at all costs economies.
Anyone know why it was called the "Connexion" in the UK and not the "Connection"?

No, to be honest: Very impressive. It's kind of a "dream" of me, to bring Internet to the river/picknick area two kilometers away from me. LoRa would probably be the way to go, will have to look further into that.
> Did you even think out this train of thought?

Of course not, I'm just a random person on the Internet ;)

The problem here is that a basic loophole is being abused to defeat the spirit of the law, thus making the operation of the government less transparent. The consequences should ramp up in proportion with the level of the abuse. You're using private WhatsApp to conduct state business? Your WhatsApp chat logs should be subject to FoI. If you want to keep family chat private, then move it to Telegram, and DON'T use Telegram to conduct state business, because otherwise your Telegram chat logs are next up to be scrutinized. I don't think the "spirit" of this idea is going too far?

> military secrets

There already are established procedures and laws for dealing with state secrets, including strategic information such as submarine designs, locations, nuke launch codes, etc. Whatever FoI/transparency laws are in place, they need to respect the need for protecting state secrets - that should be pretty obvious.
