At highway speeds aerodynamic drag creates more noise than the motor itself (externally). So an electric car makes little difference there. Reducing speed reduces noise non-linearly. Therefore electric cars make a big…
Hardware is tricky. Anything hands on really. For anything abstract I would argue that the people who are able to onboard and form teams and ideas remotely are inherently the best for the job and likely produce a…
That's the supply chain reality of most non-port cities/countries in the world. It's also normal to pay 1.5-3x the original ticker price for what you ship in based on tariffs, fees, shipping, etc. The trick is to pick…
The geothermal plant in Basel, Switzerland was AFAIK among the very first production ready plants using fracking. I remember the news of them turning it on and then a series of 2-3.5 Richter earthquakes happening. The…
Is that a rhetorical question? Because a person who makes conscious unethical choices is a bad person. Otherwise there would be no metric for "badness" and the word would be meaningless.
That's a very good question. Community cooperatives and municipal banks seem to be doing this, but not the commercial banks. I wonder why.
My opinion isn't really scientific, but I think this has primarily to do with the demographic pyramid in Italy and most of Southern Europe, not much with economic development. Kosovo is a clear example that economic…
TBH, that works as long as your demographic pyramid is healthy. For most of Europe that is not the case. On top of that, return on additional debt has been stagnant since the 90s in OECD countries. There's simply almost…
What’s the support behind this atm? I’ve read about this for some time, and it’s pretty much a no-brainer, but I haven’t seen any politician speak about it yet.
I think the soy idea has been debunked for some time now. The main external estrogen source is milk and to some extend meat products.
It's more like a heart attack. There's plenty of blood, but the circulation to the heart itself (the people, ie demand side) has stopped. The doctor is pumping ever more blood into the patient without fixing the…
> Someone has since pointed out to me that HFT is currently done by bouncing microwaves off the atmosphere. I would love to read up on this. Is this similar to HARP?
Inoreader is a very good alternative now imo. It lacks the way to share and subscribe to other people's shared articles, but i'd still give it a 9/10. On that note, it boggles my mind that no startup has simply coppied…
Or the government automates jobs. In Prishtina, Kosovo about 50 clerk jobs were replaced by a single automated machine which would give you all kinds of documents, certicicates, etc. It cut down waiting time from hours…
Definitely in Southern Europe. I met some of my best friends in random encounters.
Do you have any links or books on the topic or this specific calculation? Sounds very interesting.
That's actually a really good point for housing as public infrastructure. The parallels to roads are very interesting.
Not from the US, but I lived there shortly and was asked to move there and had to decline. To me it's pretty clear that your single biggest problem is your suburbs and car culture. Everything from anti-social behavior,…
US style lawns definitely don't make economic sense. That stuff only happened because of cheap energy, which in term is artificially cheaper/subsidized due to not including negative externalities. In Europe lawns don;t…
It's mostly because of the VC Ponzi scheme. US investors invest in US incorporated companies because it is easier to sell them and to get other later stage institutional investors interested. There's two ways how…
You mean their Intel's switch from RAM to CPUs? I have a feeling that something similar might end up happening here too. RAM was too much commoditized and cost-driven. CPUs were more IP driven. Finding a route from A to…
In my experience having any other type of people is generally more expensive because you are wasting higher level people on actively managing lower value tasks to get done.
That sounds very interesting. Could you go into more depth what techniques you exactly used?
What you call grid defection might very well happen in currently developing countries though, just as they never adopted telephone lines or stable postal services. In most developing countries the grid is the problem,…
Agreed. I would also add a silent vibrating alarm to the list. Though interestingly, non of these features need much of a display or interface. I have a Mi Band 2 with a 1 month battery life. It does everything i Ned.…
