In that case the government should pay incentives when purchasing an electric car. That way the electricity being produced on sunny days can be stored and used when it is cloudy. Electric cars will also be spread out geographically, quite in line with solar panel installations so that solves for regional and network issues too. And as an added benefit we use less oil (less combustion cars) and less gas (we charge when it is sunny and not when we produce electricity with gas generators).

By using less oil and less gas we reduce CO2 emmissions, save money and are less dependent on other regions far away.

Most countries postal service offer a postal box service. You give out the postal box number and postal code and you piuck up your mail/packages there.

The problem is fixing the bug and not only fixing the code, but applying the fix in production in a timely manner and without interrupting the business.

There is no electricity in Tokyo?

What they say is not the same as what they wrote in the ToS you didn't read.

If they stole your stuff and used in to train their model, what does it help if there is a lawsuit some years later which you most likely have no benefit from?

I think this talk about 1.5C or 2C degree increase is confusing and make the issue look less alarming.

Firstly this is a global average, including both land and ocean temperature. The land temperatures will increase much more than the ocean temperatures and the oceans cover a higher surface. So with a 2C incease on average globally could mean 6-8 degrees more on land on average. And we are also talking about averages and globally at the same time. So at specific instances and specific places it will get even warmer, say 10-20 degrees during days or weeks.

So GIEC, researchers, magazines and others should more clearly describe what this means and stop talking about these 1.5C and 2C degree increases and instead talk about how much warmer it will be on land or some other more useful measure.

Agree. Today a dude in their underwear can compose whatever they want from their bedroom without any team discussion, no accountability, no responsibility and nothing to lose.

It has always existed (that we do what others say or do), the difference now is that it is at a much larger scale. It's global and spread to millions and millions in seconds. Earlier it was a news paper or magazine or a TV show. It was national or regional and local. And it was slower. It took days and weeks to spread using magazines and TV and word of mouth. Today with social media it is global and it takes seconds.

> that correlation is very strong; just compare Luxembourg, which is much wealthier and more polluting than surrounding nations

Well, your theory does not hold at all if you look at Switzerland which pollutes 1/4 of the US per capita. CO2 pollution is not and does not have to be correlated with standard of living.

Smaller companies probably use a small subset of the features in the SaaS. This means one of two devs with an AI can implement the used subset fairly easily.

Bigger companies probably use more features and have more advanced requirements and the SaaS is integrated in different ways within different departments of the company. This means more developers are required, more interaction with different departments and thus less benefits of AI versus the traditional way of developing without AI (as the actual work is more in coordination, specification etc, than the actual coding bit).

This is the right way. Speak the language you want. Even if they reply to you in English, and they know you can speak English, continue in German. They will understand. They switch to English because they want to be helpful. If you continue in German they understand you prefer it that way.

Another thing is that once you start talking with a person (who you meet on a regular basis) in one language, it is hard to switch to another language at a later date. So if you start with English, it is hard to go back to German. But if you start with German, even if it is less fluent for you, it will come natural that with that person you speak in German.

Revenue is not the same as cashflow.

Just buy the stock or buy a mutual fund which invests in IT, AI, Tech what have you. Sooner or later they will probably also be included in the general index funds.

But if you can have more 4th gen aircrafts and have easier support and maintenance so that you can keep them flying, then that might more than outweigh the 5th gen aircrafts possible superiority.

A 5th gen aircraft on the ground is not very useful. It's easier to bomb out 100 aircraft than 400 aircraft. A 5th gen aircraft, disabled remotely via software is not very useful.

Is go shopping in malls what kids should do?
