I'm super happy with Kagi search. Even the AI summary is quite good as it's based on the search results, not just made up from training data. Of course, it's still a stupid LLM, so double check everthing. But i find it quite useful to get a grasp on the overall content of the results.

And search itself works well, haven't had a moment where it was worse than one of the big providers. The dedicated forum, programming and other serchas are cool and i love being able to adjust the priority of pages or even blacklist them.

Well, profitable in the short term. If the lowly peons don't have money because you took it all, they cant spend it on stuff from your factories and your profit goes down and everything grinds to a halt. of course you can try to sell it to other countries, which fucks over their economies and makes them more susceptible to populism/facism (well after an initial phase of excitement over those sweet cheap imports) and then it's facism all around and everyone is fucked. You just need to plan it well enough so you're on your private island/mars colony with robot butlers by that point

Not necessarily, as I understand, the floor price is just theld buy one at. i could make a new nft, list it at 500 billion and that would be the floor price, even if no trade ever happens.

There's also some stuff where the nfts get used as collateral for loans without any intention to pay back the loan. The borrower defaults, keeps the money, the lender is stuck with a useless nft. No actual sale happened, so the floor price didn't move, even though the loan was likely for less than the floor price.

Crypto is full of this kind of misleading metrics, same as market cap

I always thought the Mer de Glace at the Mont Blanc illustrates this really well. You arrive and there's a sign "the glacier was here in 1910" and that's where tourists back then.

To get to the actual glacier, you have to eall down many flights of metal stairs for about half an hour and there's several signs for different years, 1950, 1990, 2002, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2014, 2015, something like this, with the years between each sign getting shorter but the distance staying roughly the same. And from the top it's really far away.

Of course, once you actually reach the glacier, you get to the main attraction, a 3m diameter tunnel they bored 100m deep into it as a tourist attraction with ice sculptures inside. Above the tunnel you can see the remains of the tunnel from the previous year, half melted...

Uhm, this came out as part of a law suit against them by the record industry? So they are in the process of being sued.

While not surprising, the admission, which was made as part of court proceedings responding to a massive recording industry lawsuit against the company, shows yet again that many AI tools are trained on, essentially, anything that companies can get their hands on.

Those are not the same things... Glass is better for the environment, for one it doesn't break down into microplastics which get everywhere. And glass can be recycled indefinitely (minus some loss due to impurities) whereas plastic can be recycled up 0-1 times usually.

Plus the whole "it's up to consumers to solve this" is just corporate propaganda to absolve themselves of any responsibility, all the while not offering any alternatives that a consumer could pick from. Like literally, they paid for marketing campaigns to convince the public that it was our fault.

If you look at elections in europe, it's pretty consistently the 35-45 year old demographic that votes right the most. Every age group votes right and it's not like it's only boomers, with the exception of young voters <30 (and women) which do vote significantly more left

Enough for what? Switzerland doesn't really have coalitions, that's more Germany. At most there's "coalitions" on single issue votes. And there's 7 presidents, proportional to parties, so no such thing as a ruling party or coalition. That said, the FDP votes identical with the SVP in nearly everything already, especially economic issues, so much so that'd it'd be hard to distinguish them based on votes, minus the blatant populism.

Github Actions sind auch so ein Kandidat, IPv6 wird nicht unterstützt, weil deren Infrastruktur kein IPv6 hat. Wenn selbst grosse Entwicklungsunternehmen es nicht hinkriegen, wie soll sich da je was ändern.

Mein ISP gibt mir ein statisches /48 IPv6 Subnet, aber es ist recht nutzlos weil der Support so mangelhaft ist.

Sagen wir ich drucke 10'000 GandhiGeldscheine und verkauf dir einen für 100€. Die 10'000 sind jetzt "1 Million € wert" (Market cap). Und werden auch in allen Zeitschriften mit dieser Zahl erwähnt usw. Aber niemand hat wirklich interesse daran, die zu kaufen, ist also kein Volumen vorhanden und man wird grosse Mengen davon nicht los.

Ist eigentlich bei allen Kryptos so, einige wenige haben einfach etwas mehr Volumen, so dass es den Anschein macht, als würde die Market Cap wirklich Sinn machen. Aber die Zahl, wie viel sie total wert sind, ist immer sehr fragwürdig, weil man sie nie zu dem Preis alle loswerden würde. Wenn man viel verkaufen wollen würde, würde der Preis zusammenbrechen.

Ist bei Aktien und Market Cap von Firmen ähnlich, wobei da zumindest ein gewisse Minimumpreis existiert, die Summe vom Besitz der Firma geteilt durch Anzahl Aktien.

Nicht nur das, Musk ist schon lange vom Buchstaben X besessen. x.com, SpaceX, Tesla Model X, xAI, eins seiner Kids hat den Spitznamen X. Wer weiss wieso, ist Musk, also wahrscheinlich ein sehr dummer Grund.
