Fun fact, in some countries like mine, downloading is completely legal, it’s the uploading back or seeding that’s illegal.

Red hat vs red coat fascists

That’s disgusting, I prefer furry-hostile tabs!

That’s mostly because the west has become a bad place to build things, bike-shedding and a general loss of nuclear building expertise lost due to successful campaigning against nuclear by the fossil fuel industry.

We could be scaling up nuclear right now to help the goals for 2050 to be reached and then coast for a while as renewables pickup pace and fusion is finally cracked.

But no only thing people care about is immediate cost.

Yes renewables are cheaper per kw at the moment but they are also putting a lot of strain on the grid that’s not accounted for that’s expensive to upgrade, they are also not scaling up fast enough, which means there will be added cost to climate change.

Vs we could build nuclear reactors at a loss and bring on serious gigawatts of clean energy in a decade that would provide a stable baseline.

if you plan on batteries that requires lots of precious metals we will need elsewhere to aid in the transition to electric power.

Umm, what about sodium-ion that are now getting put into production?

Now it will be for the US fascists instead of chinese fascists, Nazis were german.

Kind of sad that you have to root for a fascist dictator prick to keep the fascist wannabe dictator prick in check.

Could be worse, could have left them in Limp Bizkit

People can’t even handle a zip merge, da fuck we need flying cars for, lmao, another technobro invention that only thinks about the individual and not the wider effect on society

Why is investing in military tech companies bad when someone is from a country so close to Russia?

Also who gives a fuck that artists get paid little?

They get paid.

If you invest in an S&P500 ETF you are betting on the US economy continuing to grow, if you invest in Euro 6xx etf you are betting on Europe to grow,

If you invest in a world ETF like VWCE you are betting on the world economy continuing to grow, it’s still fucking gambling it’s just the playing the odds.

Me investing in a crypto ETF would be me betting that people are stupid enough to keep putting money into it.

I am currently setting up my investment portfolio and considering putting like 5-10% into crypto etfs, I literally hate crypto, the only reason I would do it is to bet on people being stupid enough and keeping investing into crypto.

It would be literally a bet on the HL Mencken quote

No one in this world, so far as I know […] has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.

How else would you bet against AI if not by shorting?

I mean I have heard of betting sites having bets on some weird stuff, maybe they offer AI bubble bursts by x date, but I doubt it

isnt well know he had incident with a former employer over something like last year?

It’s so well known that you can’t even name what it is?

Sure you can be cynical about it, but you could also read beyond the headline

Beyond the monetary fine, the European Commission is ordering Google to restructure parts of its adtech business. Specifically, Google must:

• End self-preferencing practices — meaning it cannot give undue advantage to its own services.

• Address conflicts of interest within its advertising supply chain.

• Ensure fair competition by opening its ecosystem more effectively to rivals.

This will be like Netflix pushing against shared accounts, sure it will work and their revenue will go up, but I will stop being a paying customer and will only watch videos from my notebook with adblocks.

I am not reading that, like I said I am done.

Then you worded it poorly, also doesn’t matter if it’s subsidized since as I said, they are hit by tarrifs in the EU so they don’t undercut the market, but since you seem to be unable to show complex thought processes I am done with this conversation.

Ps. nice job with your totally not obvious downvoting with your alt account.

You know I can quote you right?

CCP subsidizes the absolute shit out of domestic EVs (and many other emerging technologies) which basically forces people to buy them

This is what prompted the first reply to quote the title “in Europe”, hope this helps, have a nice day.

His point is, da fuck does chinese market have to do with BYD tripling it’s sales in Europe.

Europe has massive tariffs on chinese EVs and they are competitively priced with other brands BYD not selling because they are 30% cheaper in Europe
