<p>I always get my olive oil from a farm in Italy that only sells direct to customer. Or my coffee from a shop that gets the beans directly from the farmer (direct trade > fair trade).<p>It's possible, the market is kind of small I guess but you need to have a product where the customer is happy to pay a premium.<p>And being a software developer helps because you might have the money to invest?! :)</p>

<p>La liga wants to get rid of illegal streams so they can ask for more money for the licenses.<p>Paid Streaming or TV is quite expensive. It's mostly because you have to buy the whole package which includes everything else the company provides. Like Golf or Nascar or whatever they find on ESPN 8.<p>Also paying for a stream only really benefits the rich clubs. The money la liga earns for tv rights is split between professional teams with Barcelona and the two Madrids receiving about 30% of the money. The other 17 teams get the rest. Some fans don't want to see them getting more money (small percentage but never underestimate fans)</p>

<p>My Problem was always the Range Anxiety.<p>Until I got an EV and realized it's not really an issue. There is always an App for that (and even on my car the software gets improved in that regard).<p>Infrastructure is getting better, even companies starting to see it as a benefit to have cheap/free chargers at their offices to get people back.<p>I see more and more electric trucks on the roads. It feels good.</p>

<p>It's a joke (meme, copypasta) but it's also accurate.<p>As I understood: Missile uses gyros and accelerometers to figure out how far it flew already towards the target. This is not 100% accurate.<p>So it additionally uses terrain mapping to figure out how it looks down there. Compare ground (am I flying above a slope?) to its internal maps and it can figure out where it is and adjust path if off course.<p>So it figured out the position by knowing that the position is most likely not the position where it's supposed to be.</p>

<p>The idea of all countries having it in one location: If you have to transfer money to a different country for whatever reason you just have to put the gold from one part of the vault to the other. Money securely, physically and quickly transferred.<p>Also you have the physical money and don't rely on computers or similar. More secure (if you ignore Die Hard 3).<p>If countries start moving the gold away it's a) sign that they need the money elsewhere or b) they don't trust the current location anymore.</p>

<p>I had Latin in school for seven years but we never learned to use it in a conversation. It was mostly vocabulary, grammar and translation of texts into my native language and interpreting/discussing them.<p>It did help to have an easier access to learn other languages. But in hindsight I would have loved to be able to talk in Latin.</p>
