You can't run models with filesystem and curl.

There is no such thing as a free market, the way you refer to it.

I kindly invite you to come and show me how to fix Bosnia and Herzegovina. I would love to go back and work at a decent company and have my family and friends (who are now scattered around the world) for afternoon and weekends. All it takes is a genious (like you!) to show up and fix things. Hopefully in an afternoon?

It is because of you guys, who love rules so much, that the poor Germans get such a bad reputation. ;)

Does making millions in profit from bitcoin while being a president or getting private jets from other countries count into that?

Who cares if "investors" are getting out of the market? They are not literally pulling money out of those companies but out of a casino that is the stock market.

One good thing in all this is, at least, if the AI stocks collapse that should not result in large-scale lay-offs. :) Quite the contrary.

This deserves a bit more explanation (sorry, on the phone, can't look at the code in the next couple of days). So, if I change the password and update it on the phone, then add a web site on the desktop, when they sync, the desktop entry will overwrite the new password? Hope it's not that simple.

except this is way more than an engineering salary. At least in Europe.

It doesn't look like that's where the conversation was going, though.

Those Palestinians with Israeli citizenship are no longer allowed into Israel. That's my understanding after watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrmE-WiC4eA

Mate, I too live in an apartment and have had Zoe 41kWh (Type2-only) for several years. I've been through all that, including several 900+km trips. It's not as bad as it sounds. I'll reiterate - with CCS you don't really worry about charging. Those 310km is enough for over 80% of anyone's trips. The guy who bought 9yr-old Zoe drove away 278km with 28km left when he got home. Recently I've got a Cupra Born with 77kWh and couldn't care less about the charging infrastructure anymore. It's just a regular car at this point. Charging on the street is even more practical than driving to the nearest petrol station.
