ich sollte vielleicht erklären: es gibt kein endloses wachstum in einem endlichen planeten. es ist nur logisch dass irgendwann die deutschen autobauer gewinnrückgänge einfahren müssen wenn china's herstellungskapazitäten weiter expandieren. das hat zuerst einmal gar nichts mit neuer technologie zu tun.
as it should be :)
Man hat das allerdings gnadenlos verschlafen
hätte man was tun können?
Was die Mitarbeiter bei den Autokonzernen und den Zulieferern heute ausbaden müssen, sind nicht etwa schicksalhafte Turbulenzen im chinesischen Markt.
Doch.
some people have no soul and want that reflected in the environment
ok so it's not a perfect solution. so?
name a language that websites are written in that has less than a million users
"woam is" is österreichischer dialekt für "warm ist's"
the problem is that even if you convince 5 million people to join your union and raise your wages, the other 295 million people in the country are then gonna take the opportunity to undercut you, which leads you to be fired as "too expensive" and other people to take your job.
yeah i've made the same experience. they don't seem to actually store the fingerprint across each site visit? or they do but it changes continuously. in which case, good job firefox ❤️
i'm currently reading this article about lemurs: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemuren
(it's in german, english equivalent would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemur )
and so i learned that smaller individuals tend to be active in the night, while larger individuals tend to be active in the daytime? can that be generalized to humans too? how many of you are small and night-active?
When you post on reddit, instagram etc. you're giving the company your valuable data. (And it often is valuable, you put your thoughts into it and all that). Consider if you take 15 minutes to create value content, you'd get paid $5 or sth if you were doing it commercially. Now all that value is donated to big tech companies. (that's the only reason why they have value at all.)
So what's the problem with that? The problem is that reddit and others can instantaneously put your years-long effort behind a paywall. I'm not joking. Look at these:
when i want to see content on reddit (for research) or instagram (for local community) they don't allow me to see the data that users have contributed. Reddit claims that it blocks VPNs for "security reasons", meanwhile i'm using VPNs in browser's incognito mode to not be tracked. Instagram wants you to sign in sothat they amass more users and can take leverage of the network effect even more.
I can understand restricting who can post to limit bot activity, but reading must always be possible. After all, it's our data. That's exactly what happens when you give your data to big companies to "communicate with other people": your data becomes a source of income for them, at our expense.
Sorry to bother you with this again. I have posted about this 2 times in the last 6 months already, because it is a fascinating topic and i want to talk about it. The issue is, whether there is renewable energy in the universe (truly renewable). Solar energy is called "renewable" but ultimately the sun will burn out. What then?
I have last time gotten the answers that "it's a stupid question because we have more urgent problems, such as corrupt politics etc.". Frankly, i disagree. This question is of existential importance, because it gives us an outlook into the far future. These perspectives are more valuable than playing 15 minutes of a computer game, which you could do instead of reading this article.

Spider Web Cosmology

Subject: Renewable energy in a cosmological context
Abstract
In this paper i present a simple and clear approach to extract useful energy out of the cosmic expansion using mithril material wires, i.e. wires with very high Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. This energy is renewable, such that it represents a continuous and probably eternal power source.
Introduction and Motivation
The industrial revolution has allowed for a significant growth of humanity. While global population numbers were around 300 million around 1000 CE, it scaled to almost 8 billion by 2000 CE. That is an almost 30-fold increase. This was made possible largely by two inventions: the combustion-engine driven tractor and the natural-gas-based ammonia synthesis. Both consume massive amounts of energy, which mostly came from fossil fuels, which are not renewable. This naturally raises the question of whether humanity will ever run out of energy, which would induce a reversal of this massive growth, i.e. a significant population shrinkage. Related to this is the problem of climate change, i.e. whether there exists a long-lasting energy source that does not poison our own living conditions that we rely on.
Ever since solar energy started around 2020 to become economically competitive, many people have felt deep relief from the anxiety around climate change and the threat that humanity would eventually run out of fuel. However, the sun is predicted to burn out in approximately 10 billion years, and then humanity will have to find a new source of energy. While other stars do exist, those too will eventually run out of energy, with the slowest- burning stars (red dwarf stars) predicted to last for approximately 1000 billion years. Slower-burning stars do not practically exist as they would not be massive enough to ignite nuclear fusion in the first place.
What other sources of energy are there in cosmology? Especially, do sources exist that do not run out after a while, i.e. that are truly renewable?
Scope and Context
This paper uses the insights from general relativity, especially cosmic expansion, and simple mechanics to present a mechanism for renewable power in cosmology. While quantum aspects, such as vacuum energy, are highly interesting and might slightly change the reality, they’re left out of this analysis and regarded as an extra feature of nature that will have to be stacked on top of this one.
Mechanism
The term „spider web cosmology“ is justified if one visualizes the core concepts of this proposal:
An array of wires made from a very thin (lightweight) material called „Mithril“ are laid out throughout the universe, which have extremely high elasticity (Young's modulus), which means they exert force when stretched without significantly changing length.
Living organisms reside at the intersection points. As the intersection points are pulled away from each other over time, the wires between them will be stretched. The force that each wire exerts can then be calculated from Hooke’s law: F=σ⋅A=E⋅ε⋅A , with F being force, σ being stress, E being Young's modulus, ε being axial strain, A being cross-section area.
The mithril wires are chains of small link elements. As the living organisms at the intersection point let the wires contract from time to time, while generating power from that contraction, new link elements are produced and attached to the wire.
The mithril wires have to be produced from new matter that gets produced from a matter-anti-matter pair, that gets produced from the energy harvested from the chain relaxation. In other words, the chain has to release more energy when it relaxes than the rest mass of the mithril chain links.
This is why this mithril material has to be extremely lightweight while still having high Young’s modulus and high ultimate tensile strength. Practically speaking, I’m not entirely sure whether such a material could exist. Using simplifications and a linear model of elasticity, common steel does not have good enough properties for this application.
I will proof this in the following calculation. For this, we have to look at the rest mass of a steel chain link and the energy that can be released when the chain is relaxed by the length of one link element. Let x be the length of one link element.
The work W1 released by the chain is W 1=F⋅x=E⋅ε⋅A⋅x , while the rest mass (rest energy W2) of one chain link is W 2= ρ⋅A⋅x with density ρ, therefore for W1 to be larger than W2 one gets the relation E⋅ε > ρ. Comparing this to the actual values for steel:
Therefore, ε would have to be larger than 4·10⁹, i.e. the steel wire would have to stretch to 4 billion times its usual length. However, commercially available steel used in construction typically breaks apart for ε > 3·10⁻³ (Source: Wikipedia). These steel wires would have to have a factor 10¹² higher ultimate tensile strength!!
The judgement is still out on whether a good enough mithril material could hypothetically exist.
