That and at least here in Germany we also use tons of land to grow energy plants such as rapeseed (apparently that alone uses 10% of all farming land), which imo is just incredibly inefficient. In case of an emergency at this scale i'd imagine that would be turned back to producing something like weat.
We could also simply produce a bit less meat, which is similarly inefficient in howmuch you need to feed the animals per kg of product.
They don't learn the lesson, because they don't want to. And your examples imo show the problem.

These are not solutions, they are bandaids that like a drug keep you dependent on politicians repeating them again and again. Which of course is nice when your only goal is to get relected, but longterm that magic wears off.
Also regarding cost: I have yet to hear how a dating app solves the paradox that success means losing a customer. The incentives of the company and customer are not aligned and actually quite the opposite.
The company wants you to stay and spend as much as possible on the platform (optimizing to keep you just engaged enough to stick with it), whereas the ideal outcome for the customer means not needing the app in as little time as possible.
Rooting is the process by which users of Android devices can attain privileged control (known as root access) over various subsystems of the device, usually smartphones and tablets
You can install apps from other sources without root access on Android. But some may need those extra permissions to function.
If I had to teach an existing one it would probably be sport, since as a reasonably fit person with a decent understanding on how to train in a healthy way it would probably be the one where I could come closest to providing a similar level to a real teacher. Otherwise maybe sociology? Think I could do a decent job there aswell.
If I could make my own it would probably be personal finance. Because I think here in Germany education on this topic is basically non existent. And there is so much money wasted on bad financial products and wrong decisions, that giving everyone some basic lessons would have a huge positive effect.
The issue is that the same people that would lose votes from doing so would have to change the system. Which obviously means they have no incentive to do so.
That might certainly be one factor, but my intuition is that the primary driver is still todays diet. Things like soda drinks that let you consume teaspoons of pure sugar in an instant without appropriate feedback simply didn't exist in the past.
This actually is a hard question. I assume it needs to be an industry that is small, doesn't have huge margins and probably is primarily manual labour.
Yep, that's pretty much the gist of it. Driver overhead isn't something completely new, but with the B580 it certainly is so high that it becomes a massive problem in exactly the use case where it would make the most sense.
Another albeit smaller issue is the idle power draw. Here is a chart (taken from this article)
Because for a honest value evaluation that also plays a role, especially for anyone planning to use the card for a long time.
Peak power draw doesn't matter as much imo, since most of us will not push their system to its limit for a majority of the time. But idle power draw does add up over time.
It also imo kind of kills it as a product for the second niche use besides budget oriented games, which would be for use in a homelab setting for stuff like video transcoding.
So as much as i am honestly rooting for Intel and think they are actually making really good progress in entering such a difficult market, this isn't it yet. Maybe third time's the charm.
Imo this kind of shows the basic problem with the xps line. As I understand it it was basically the premium consumer line, not something meant for business use. Meaning it had the nice specs on paper, but not the durability you'd need in a setting with extensive use and where downtime means serious money. But as you demonstrate this distinction was too blurry.
Yeah, sadly everything has to sound fancy. Imo this is partially to blame on consumers, but I do wonder how much of it is basic psychology vs induced demand that could be reversed if a company would stick with sensible product names for a while.
Instead of basic they could also go with something like "essential" or "home" that maybe have slightly less negative associations.
hardware unboxed for example did some benchmarks on the topic a few days ago. The issue wasn't noticed at launch, where everyone tested with high end processors to eliminate any bottlenecks, but has recently been discovered.
I would say a 8700k is maybe lower midrange considering its been a while since it was released? Not sure if someone else tested it with older Intel CPUs, since here it is mostly with AMD stuff, but the problem still applies.
Honestly, while I don't mind legal proceedings against Elon, the best thing the EU or any European government could do would be to start using alternatives to Twitter.
If they'd spin up their own mastodon instance and politicians, institutions and parties would start exclusively posting their statements there, then journalists would have to follow them and news organisations would also start linking those instead.
Twitter isn't as big here anyways, but doing that could imo make it even less so.
The problem with the B580 is the huge issue with driver overhead leading to worse performance when paired with lower or even midrange CPUs. Which is exactly what you'd usually pair it with
In fairness to Intel, every modern semi design house has that same issue: a chip is designed and laid out for a specific node, so this isn’t really a failing so much as a how-it-works.
I thought i read somewhere that either their design was particularly tailored towards a specific node or that following that they made it a higher priority to be less bound to one. But i can't find a source for it, so i might be mistaken.
