I wonder if their goal is to have big demo player numbers and then exit the company off to a clueless investor

So they’ll drop from inflated to fairly priced?

Bind yields are up and will continue to increase, because countries are moving from defined benefit- to contribution based- pension scheme’s.

Which makes bonds and the guaranteed returns a less interesting investment vehicle. The big pension market under transition right now is the Netherlands, but it’s a general trend across the globe that countries have been moving from defined benefit to contribution based schemes.

Another key difference, the Railway mania was powered by commoners investing. Not just a few rich bozos and enormous enterprises putting their money into it, as it is with AI

Nah, far from everyone wants to be a trillionaire, nor a billionaire. Sure most would want financial independence, but not a lot more than that

When the investors are Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon. Then they have some deep pockets

Ecosia is a little more complicated, as they’re co-owning an European focused search index with Qwant.

I can’t remember exact numbers, but the majority of searches in Ecosia/Qwant is not forwarded to Bing anymore

Sort of depend on perspective, hunger only exists because there’s no political will to remove it.

We produce more food globally than we consume, and we can multiply it several times with the same cost of space by swapping more meat for vegan crops.

We have plenty of space for everyone to have shelter, the problem is largely due to the issue that most people want to live in a metropolitan area. So the price for living in a highly sought out location increases to unmanageable levels.

A key factor is the big difference between the kinds of jobs you can get in a more rural location compared to the bigger urban centers. Everyone are forced to move to urban locations to study, causing most people to form their first adult social and professional circles around whichever urban location they studied at.

There’s a lot of minor things that needs to be done, what exactly differs by country. But making the rural regions more accessible to live in should be considered across most countries. One simple first step, would be to make remote capable jobs offer their workers to do it all remotely. Government office workers, could quite easily spearhead such an initiative; I bet some people would move closer to nature, if they could hold onto their bread

Yeah, you’ll be handed a ton of books from relatives and friends if you ask openly

Not to mention the creation of a shared cultural heritage.

Most Danish kids have heard a few, or all, of HC Andersen’s biggest works. It gives them something to talk about when they’re socialising with other kids

If your friends kid, becomes the only kid in their class which haven’t heard the stories of their local cultural heritage. That’s a potential for creating a social rift in school, why have you not heard about the ugly duckling?

But what is it uploading?

I understand the logic behind why a coffee maker can take on orders, although it feels pointless to me - Some might want freshly grounded beans and being able to start that process from bed could safe them a whopping thirty seconds while scrolling the fediverse.

I guess it could upload a notification, out of beans, screw is loose, shit is malfunctioning. But downloads should be magnitudes larger than downloads, yet in incredibly small payloads in all directions

But the question is whether or not they’re actively holding debt or just letting themselves get diluted through investments.

There’s more supply than demand for compute at the moment, so Microsoft is more than happy to buy ownership through Azure credits - Likewise Amazon is with AWS credits

I recently read a decent article (in Danish mind you), focused on the positions some volunteers had from getting more fans to their local football club… Because they now posted stuff on Facebook.

Then followed up by an expert on engagement, and statistics on about half the population felt AI image generations to be off putting - And a fair chunk of the remainder not really caring, and a small minority finding it cool/useful.

That experts main position, was the human touch was lost and the volunteer of the local football club would most likely get more people to stadium if they asked a bunch of 2nd graders to draw match day posts.

Because it would genuinely connect to people. So yeah, a lot of smaller businesses and volunteers are currently having a feeling all of this AI gen is giving them more traffic and attention, but in reality they’re getting more attention because they went from doing nothing to doing something

There is one factor you’re forgetting, Danish mortgage rates have been .5-1% below the eurozone. Due to the Danish currency being stronger than its valuation, ever since the debt crisis of '08.

If we didn’t have a peg, our mortgages would be a fair deal higher - As European investors considers the DKK safe to park money in

Good thing there’s an infographic in the link, the for and against are as follows.

Topic Pro | Against

Rejoining EU 50 | 28

Customs union 47 | 21

Single market 45 | 23

Associate Membership 45 | 21

The rest remain undecided/don’t care/whatever it’s politics.

So going forward with an associate membership seems like something that’d garner support for a PM rather than abolish them. If they’d be master negotiators, they’d aim for a Swizz or Norwegian type deal.

All new joiners officially has to work towards getting the Euro, I believe Sweden and Poland both have that deal. But there’s plenty of ways to delay the adoption for eternity.

There’s a few member states which hasn’t agreed to adopt it, but that’s because they joined before it existed

71% seems like a low number, it’s first in the last few years Linux have begun having OSes suitable of gaming - Without having to fiddle a ton, convenience is what made Windows win gaming.

Stuff is slowly turning to Linux, but unfortunately does big organisations lock themselves in with Microsoft and Apple. It’s fairly common for universities to advise against having a Linux PC for study use cases. Due to their underlying suppliers and whatever their contracts state - Again, convenience.

Hopefully Germany and France manages to make a proper cloud based competitor to stuff like OneDrive or Google drive, as they’re looking into removing American based licences in their public sector. It would make most European orgs consider the same, just having OpenLibre with a cloud subscription could honestly untangle a lot.

The question is whether or not whoever or whatever Gabe puts into his place when he steps down will act like him.

I see it as a serious likelihood he’ll proof the company against venture capital and going public

In the ideal world they’d do it oppositely, low/no cut on the first income and then increase it for the bigger productions.

But capitalism gonna capitalism, and the whales could be legitimate competitions. So they get it cheap, while the fish pay 30% to be on the biggest market
