Also you can just lose focus, make a mistake, and drive into something.
People do so all the time in cars, why wouldn't they on bikes?
Bike injuries can be very serious if you are unlucky and hit your head wrong. Wear helmets people!
Consolidation in real-estate and the entertainment industry are why.
In real-estate it leads to higher rents and mortgages, which for restaurants makes the location more expensive, but also the staff because they need to make rent as well.
In entertainment it's all just ticketmaster, which owns venues and the ticketing system. That makes them able to double dip on every ticket, since they can charge exorbitant rents for event locations, and also take IIRC a 30% fee on every ticket sold.
That's also something you could prevent by not allowing children of clergy to become priests.
Come to think of it, that may be a good idea for politicians as well. Children of politicians often get internships and opportunities through their parents, which gives them a massive networking advantage if they eventually want to hold office themselves.
Friendly competition can be good as well, because that may be encouraging to think differently and explore new ways of solving a problem, to avoid hitting a local optimum.
But it needs to friendly in the sense that you also cooperate when relevant, sharing what works and what doesn't.
Not unless you choose really slow hard drives, or stream very high bitrate media.
Most hard drives can easily do 100MB/s sequentially (i.e. reading a large file, such as long video files).
Meanwhile high-bitrate 4K video is only about 50Mbit/s, so about 6MB/s.
Man I adored my Pebble back in the day, and I'll never forgive FitBit for buying the company just to kill off competition.
I kind of want to buy the new one, but with them being based in the US I'm a bit scared of getting a nasty surprise due to import taxes...
Most people around me use LLM's for their work, which is still anecdotal that's for sure and I'm not denying it.
My point I guess is that the genX'ers stand out way more, because they are more often in positions of authority, and you'd expect them to know better.
That to me makes it way more remarkable that a professor would verbatim cite LLM output to one of their PhD students, wasting that student's time having them debunk that obvious crap.
I'd go further, you should help with the development. Seems like some people would rather spend hours hounding a developer to implement their thing, rather than figuring out how to do it themselves...
Good teachers can make such a big difference, and it's almost always in these kinds of unquantifiable, "I just encouraged the student in the way they needed" kinds of ways.
This, as much as anything else, is why defunding the education system is so criminal. Stressed-out, underpaid and overworked teachers just won't have the mental space to do these kinds of things.
Wow, thanks for mentioning this, I'm seriously looking at moving away from gmail, and Tuta was my frontrunner. Sad that they aren't more upfront about this...
I see Proton is kind of the same to some extent, but then they have a local bridge application which translates their protocol to IMAP/SMTP. Does anyone have experience with that?
Yup, adopting the Euro as currency would be my first condition.
They threw a lot of privilege and bargaining power away out of pride, so that pride should be injured as much as possible (but without emiserating the common people).
I think you need to read some more history about fascism my friend.
That "pure" capitalist you talk about has never existed.
On the other hand, capitalists were essential to Hitler's rise to power, and the likes of IG Farben and Bayer profited greatly during the reign of the Nazi's.
Now we see the same thing with the likes of Bezos, Zuckerberg and Musk installing Trump, and abusing their influence to completely deregulate the markets they are in (e.g. banning any regulation on AI by states).
