Wow, for the first time this finally feels like the true web3.

I see that here a viewpoint is widely reflected that we can substitute nuclear with solar/wind. And maybe today it could be feasible in certain areas albeit not always economical. What this viewpoint misses, is the fact that we will need an increasingly more power, as we always did, and I am certain that if we would have a chance to go 100 years into the future, power demand will be so high that our current abilities to supply power via nuclear and solar/wind combined will not be enough to cover the demand.

I dare to point out that this article provides no real evidence for these audacious accusations.

I find the comparis estimate an overestimate. Take their VW Polo example. You would definitely not insure it for 1207 Fr a year and an annual service is not 3000 Fr a year. You take their estimate for VW Polo, put numbers a layman folk pays for, and you will get a number around 5000 a year. If you buy a second hand car, then you get a very competitive price to the GA, but also get more flexibility.

I am not saying anyone should by a car, quite the contrary, just stating the fact that 4000 Fr/yr is not competitive enough to car.

Upper management does not need to log working hours and can work unpaid overtime. So, they can easily exchange emails on weekends. But when they involve a regular employee, who has to reach working hours, then it's overtime.

Async/await just like threads is a concurrency mechanism and also always requires locks when accessing the shared memory. Where does your statement come from?

It looks like folks haven't studied in a modern environment or haven't used all the tools available to them.

During classes you take notes using a keyboard. The you and your colleagues merge everything into a single set of notes. E.g., in a private wiki. That makes you review your notes at least once, and in the end you will end up with mega notes written in the language common to students of the year that you wouldn't be able to creat on your own. Beat that.

1. Doesn't macOS turn off font antialiasing for retina displays? I believe retina displays (with desktop scaling) is the real solution to crispy fonts.

The biggest takeout for me is that most people so not support any of the two parties in the country. A clear sign that more parties and a more diverse spectrum of opinions are needed!

If you are looking at Adobe for Lightroom, get Capture One instead. No trickery and it's a much superior product.

I switched to it in fact after getting burned with the Adobe cancellation thing. Never looked back.

I also tried darktable. But Capture One does magic. The photos turn out always much better than what I could do with any ohter product.

It's saddening that folks say Axie is a play-to-earn pioneer. This genre existed for ages and is called gambling. Poker being a prime example of a truly successful game combining luck, fun, and skill. The best part -- no NFTs required.

I wonder what motivated Chinese students to offend the poor guy from Hong Kong. I can think of several plausible reasons: - pure fanaticism of CCP China - such bullying is just the norm in daily lives where they grew up - someone from Chinese special services approached them and their families and pressured them to make such comments (to peer pressure)

Knowing that they made to the USA makes me believe that the first one is improbable and the last reason is so convincing.
