Even older homes, compared to the average US home is highly insulated.
I live in an Apartment building from 1964, got doubled sided windows, and during the winter I do not need to turn on any heating on 98% of the days. And the quality of housing there is no difference between owning and renting....
Now even the worst insulated homes, are not that far off. Sure there are some very very bad apartments for rent, but those are in the minority.
sure not many can afford an EV, but there is also a large part of the population does not own a car at all, because of public transit which is a way better reduction in the energy requirements per person. There are even a lot of people that own a car but go to work using public transit.
Nope,
public repos have license, often open source licenses that state that you can freely use the code, or change it , but only if the resulting product will also be opensource.
Other licenses such as the MIT license require that you name the original creator.
Are you high? How is ML learning superior to human learning?
If I show a 3 year old a single picture of a Tiger, and tell him this is a tiger, the child is able to recognize a Tiger fairly accurate in real life without further input. Though the child might say that a house cat is tiger,,,,
ML learning needs millions of pictures to do the same, and still might mistake an elephant for a tiger...
ML is nothing more than graph approximation, there is no logical reasoning
Whether or not Apple has a monopoly is difficult to say, especially in the traditional / original sense.
The thing is, let us take the US as an example, even though there is a duopoly between IOS and Android, depending on the social circle people may not have a real choice. Remember the green bubble blue bubble fiasco in that even children are peer pressured into getting an iPhone. And until Apple won't offer iMessage on Android with exactly the same features IOS user are kind of forced to staying on IOS or look for other less wane friends.
If this bind is gone, the argument we often hear here: "just buy an android" becomes valid.
I wouldn't describe, the process of recognizing your mistakes as self hate. As a German, I know my country is not perfect, none is, and I recognize that past mistakes should not happen again. Smart people learn from mistakes and try not to repeat them.
Sure compared to the US most Germans are not patriotic or are blindly loving their country. But compared to the US what over country emotionally so invested in being number 1 that everything that was bad or does not work / could be better is ignored?
The US is like an Ostrich, as soon as it is uncomfortable they put their head in the sand and yell we are the best, we are number. It can also be compared to conservatives labeling liberals as snow flakes and ridiculing save spaces, while at the same time making the US a giant safe space and ignoring reality.
just because Germany produces less does not mean there is less energy available...
would be the same as saying that since california does not produce enough energy on its own, its industries are doomed...
