I mean, everyone who pays attention knows how spinger is absolute trash. Has been since the founding of the FRG. Unfortunately, the morons who read it don’t die out. They thrive on stupid and mentally lazy people. I wish I knew how to change that.

Yeah, drilling a hole in there should stop anyone this side of a dedicated lab from reading your data.

Meiner ist eher so: ich schau online, ein HDMI-Kabel kostet plusminus 15€. Ich geh in den Saturn, es gibt nur noch die ultra-mega-gold-pro-elite HDMI kabel für 40€. Ich finde nach 15 Minuten Suche noch eins für 25€ ganz unten, kauf das zähneknirschend und geh schlecht gelaunt wieder.

The market for low end SoCs and embedded is highly competitive, with lots of Chinese companies like Allwinner and established niche leaders like Renesas or NXP. No way an outsider is going to beat them on price or features out of the blue.

Intel only has a chance to stay afloat in the high-ish end sector, whether they like it or not.

1. Do something cool: work on your car, do sports, go to a party, go on a hike…

2. Have a friend with you and tell them beforehand that you want them to take some pictures of you now and then.

3. Enjoy your activity with your friend

4. ???

5. Profit

All of history was a shitshow. There was not one century this side of the invention of agriculture where we didn’t commit war crimes. Hell, it took us thousands of years to come up with the idea of war crimes, the very idea that killing and enslaving everyone and salting their earth might not be super cool.

We suck, but it has worked out so far. Humanity is like cockroaches. We’ll manage. Badly, suffering, but we’ll manage.

He is certainly not the best pick, was considered very conservative 30 years ago, but I don’t think he is an open pro US lobbyist. From what you hear in the news, he seems to cooperate quite well with France and the like.

What even are crystal dommes? Like leather dommes, but kitted out for an 80s party at the disco?

Jo, dann passen wir die doch an. Sollten wir eh bei Freigrenzen generell machen.

Wie gesagt, ich hab keine Ahnung. Aus idealistischer Sicht finde ich das Konzept Vermögenssteuer erst mal recht sympathisch. Aber mir ist schon klar, dass das nicht so einfach geht.

Eine hohe Grundsteuer hat ja auch Nachteile, das klassische Beispiel von alten Menschen im Eigenheim, die sich mit knapper Rente die Steuern nicht wirklich leisten können zB.

Guter Punkt. Keine Ahnung, ob ich das mehr oder weniger fair finde. Auf der einen Seite ist es wahrscheinlich besser, wenn mehr Menschen Immobilien haben, auf der anderen Seite sind Immobilien deutlich konkreter für zB eine Stadt wichtig als jemand mit 100 Bitcoins.

Sir, I have an itemized bill for “hookers and blow with the customer”!

Oh come on, that is a pretty flawed argument. “Tell me, how me doing this particular, isolated thing, is directly causing this complicated big thing, otherwise you are wrong”.

But we are not arguing that: We are arguing about, what if I had a magical button that would magically give everyone in the world access to the “decent living standards” and nothing more? Would it be ethical, would you push this button? Even if you are, right now, way above the line?

And to that I say, yes, if it was possible to do this, I believe it would be the right thing to do. And I believe that anyone arguing we should not press the button, because pushing this button is hurting their lifestyle, is arguing that billions of people deserve to live a much worse life for being in the wrong place so that we can have our lifestyle.

Of course I do not have such a button. That is not the point.

I am amazed by all the people that, when faced with having to give up some of the first-world luxury they are used to, flip completely in their head. It is the opposite of not-in-my-backyard: Don’t take from my backyard, pls.

Yes, I would rather have the current distribution continue, where hundreds of millions are literally starving, where there are people who would kill to live like this, where people are walking through the desert and taking dinghies over oceans for shit like this, just so I can have my amenities.

Absolutely wild. We’re so doomed.

I understood that, and I disagree with that statement either.

A plastic card has no wifi, mobile radio, gps, cameras or microphone. The only data it can give away is “john smith paid here for porn and liquor at 4:20”. A phone has all of the above, and uses them to collect data about you, which is then used against you. Graphene, by not running all the vendor-specific, preinstalled garbage in the background, is a lot better in that regard than any smartphone you can buy at the store.

So, in my opinion, it is worth to give up the small convenience of tap-to-pay with a phone and use tap-to-pay with a card. Yes, cash would be even better, but better is the enemy of good. Paying with Monero in a dark alley while wearing a ski mask is even better than that, right?

No, his argument is that the average human needs this standard. also, it is a model, it is by definition simplified.

Besides, what is the alternative? First world countries living like they own the place, third world countries starving, and we’re all getting killed in the climate war of 2040?

They live in a world where 700 million people are currently starving. Do you think you care about the washing machines if your children have nothing to eat?

Their idea of decent is a dream for a good chunk of the world population. We’re the privileged ones. People kill to live like us.
