What do you think of this prediction?
  • What many posters in this thread fail to realize is that there is a very good reason why steam hasn’t been hit by the enshittification that otherwise permeates human existence in 2024.

    Of course, Gaben as their CEO has the last say in it. And he’s just a good guy. But wait, aren’t there other companies that have good guys as their CEO and yet the enshittification persists?

    The profound reason is that Valve is not a publicly traded company. They have no obligation to any investors to make number go up. They are a private company, they can do whatever the fuck they want. If they stay flat and keep paying their employees, that’s totally fine, and there is 0 pressure on them to change anything. THAT‘s why Valve seems like such a different company compared to everything else that’s out there.

    Of course it’s still a choice to go public or not, and they have made the right call (for us consumers).

  • Warum Deutschland für internationale Fachkräfte so unattraktiv ist
  • Nahe 50% ist für Spitzenverdiener. Also Fachkräfte. Die Leute, die man angeblich so dringend haben will.

    Man hinterfragt es normal nicht weiter, bis man mal ein Praktikum in der Schweiz macht, wo nur 8.5% Steuern gezahlt werden … und dann ist man richtig verwirrt.

  • Swedish company Northvolt develops new state-of-the-art sodium-ion battery produced with locally sourced materials, entirely independent of traditional battery value chains
  • I’d like to relay this comment from hacker news: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36834046

    It seems there's news of a battery breakthrough every week. I've learned to temper expectations, because so many "breakthroughs" turn out to be dead ends. Because it's not enough for a battery to be incredibly light, or made of abundant materials, or last for ten thousand cycles. It needs to be good at many things and at least okay at most things.

    E.g.—

    • How much capacity per dollar?

    • How much capacity per kilogram?

    • How much capacity per litre?

    • How quickly can it be charged?

    • How quickly can it be discharged?

    • How much energy is lost between charging and discharging?

    • How predisposed is it to catching fire?

    • How available are the materials needed to manufacture it?

    • How available are the tools/skills required to manufacture it?

    • How resilient is it to mechanical stress, e.g. vibration?

    • How much does performance degrade per cycle?

    • How much does performance degrade when stored at a high state of charge?

    • How much does performance degrade when stored at a low state of charge?

    • How much does performance drop at high temperatures?

    • How much does performance drop at low temperatures?

    • How well can it be recycled at end-of-life?

    A sufficiently bad answer for any one of these could utterly exclude it from contention as an EV battery. A battery which scores well on everything except mechanical resilience is a non-starter, for example. Though it might be great for stationary storage. I'm only a layperson and this list is what I came up with just a few minutes of layperson thought. I'm sure someone with more familiarity with battery technology could double the length of this list. But the point is, when you daydream about some hypothetical future battery tech, you need to appreciate just how well today's lithium chemistries score in so many areas

  • Greenhouse gases soared to another record and there’s ‘no end in sight’
  • While I appreciate the sentiment, I think it’s unrealistic to expect the greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere to decrease. For that, we already would need net 0 emissions AND some sort of carbon capture system in place.

    For now, what must decrease is greenhouse gas emissions, and the article admits that that is what happened (but the decrease was so low it could be attributed to natural fluctuations).

    Jetzt zu Hochzinszeiten längerfristig Festgeld anlegen?
  • Wenn man einen langfristigen anlegehorizont hat, würde ich grade jetzt ETFs kaufen. Die sind nämlich mit dem Preis ganz schon runter gegangen, weil sie (zur Zeit) die hohen ezb Zinsen schlagen müssen.

    Auf lange Zeit werden die EZB Zinsen wieder runter gehen, und dann wird man mit dem etf quasi automatisch hoch gehoben, aber das geht eben nur wenn man min. 10, besser 20 Jahre Spielraum hat.

    Festgeld würde ich nur machen wenn du die Sicherheit unbedingt brauchst. Zum Beispiel, du hast dir ein Haus gekauft und du weißt 100% dass das Geld in einem Jahr fällig wird. Dann kann man das nicht in einen etf stecken, Risiko zu hoch. Dafür wäre Festgeld oder Tagesgeld perfekt.

  • [DE] Zwei Jahre später ist die legendäre CSU-Kampagne erfolgreich. Brauchte nur noch etwas Grünen-Bashing, die FW-Antisemiten und Geflüchtete. Zack, fertig.
  • So eine Einstellung hilft halt auch nur den rechten Parteien. Wenn die Linken immer nur 100% ihrer überzeugung durchsetzen dürfen, sonst sind sie nicht „ideal“ - wie soll das gehen? Wenn sie nur 15% der Stimmen haben? Da muss man halt auch realistisch bleiben und eben die Partei wählen, die am nächsten an den eigenen Überzeugungen ist, auch wenn die nicht 100% davon durch kriegen.

    Wenn man die Flinte ins Korn schmeißt, gewinnen halt wieder die Rentner mit ihrer CSU oder den AfD Zombies. Damit ist dir sicher auch nicht geholfen.

    Judge Jacqueline Corley penned a remarkably shoddy decision in the Microsoft-Activision case. We have a problem with bad and often random decisions by judges.

    Despite the somewhat confusing title, this is an analysis of the merger trial, and how it could continue. Definitely worth the read, it pulls back the curtain on what happens when two giant corporations are trying to fuse.
