A study by the glacier monitoring institute Glamos shows that Switzerland's glaciers are in a very poor state. In the first eight months of this year, the country's glaciers shrank by 5.5 percent. Over the past five years, nearly 20 percent of Switzerland's glaciers have melted away:

The US prison labor population is larger than the workforce of Norway. But you don't care about that.🤷🏿‍♂️ You're in my mentions because you don't like it that none of the US EV manufacturers employee union auto workers in the US, but BYD does. You say it's just PR. Then I wish US corps did more PR!

Before going to a regular dermatologist appointment, I was watching a ton of dermatologist videos (I’m a nerd 🤷🏻‍♀️) so when I got there I told her that basically every condition I had looked at was either made worse by stress or even caused by stress. She said that was very common.

If the numbers were small? Whatever. But they are spending many times their revenue like it was an investment into a factory that’ll produce over the long run, except it won’t. 60% of the cost is reoccurring every 2 years.

It matters if the cost is more like rent, but looks like buying. If you have to repurchase all of it after 2 years, then how is that OpEx? It’s not a factory machine that will keep on producing (with maintenance) for 30 years. This is more like a material that wears out and needs replacing often.

A few months ago I started wondering if not using LLMs for coding right now would be a detriment to me as a programmer, but I concluded that the idea is nonsensical. I could start Not Writing My Own Code at any moment, and having stopped programming 2 years ago wouldn’t make me a better programmer.

1/ Norwegian politicians and commentators are now fighting about affordability. And they keep on missing that their whole argument hinges on the expression «folk flest» which you’d normally translate as «most people» but it’s less precise. It’s more «the average joe» or «regular folks».

Sometimes I feel like I need to learn accounting. Question: If a company buys some stuff that will be used up and/or broken beyond repair/resale after 2 years, does it make sense to say it’s CapEx? This feels like OpEx to me, but I’m 💯 not an accountant.
