The Boeing CEO responsible for the 737max fiasco was an engineer, not a bean counter. And the best Boeing CEO was a lawyer, not an engineer.

It can very well be true, though, that one government entity is not allowed to share personal data with another government entity.

The guy responsible for leaded gasoline inhaled that stuff during a press conference, lying that the stuff is safe and then later taking a leave of absence to recover from lead poisoning. That was in 1924.

Seems to me that it already is. ChatGPT is significantly better at reading circuit diagrams (although it struggles with them too). Still, in this regard (and generally electronics) ChatGPT performs better than both Claude and Gemini.

That would be a fitting epitaph for him. Wishful thinking, but nevertheless.

What bitter ice are you talking about? Even northernmost Ukraine is on the same latitude as central Germany and south Ukraine used to be a sea resort before the war.

Blacks are far less common in Germany hence the ethnic question is quite different. "Migration background" is the closest German equivalent. And yes, the outcome can be different. For example in one such case - the perpetrator will probably be sent to Turkey after he was sentenced to 8 years for reckless driving murder (only 8 years for murder because people under 21 are not considered adults in the court) since he is a German born Turkish citizen.
Another thing that makes comparisons difficult is that Germany is a civil law country so legal precedence is not binding and it is difficult to say whether the judge declined to sentence a reckless driver for murder as the public prosecutor demanded due to the problem you mention or simply because the judge is old school which was much more lenient in this regard.

Germany used to be like that too until not too long ago. Nowadays this kind of reckless driving can result in it being considered a murder by the judge - and murder automatically means a life sentence with at least 15 years before parole becomes possible. Not always, unfortunately, but it happens and I hope it will happen more and more in the future.

Probably much better in hilly terrain both up and downhill than diesel trucks.

It is funny how people tend to refer to things they haven't even read to supposedly support their arguments.

Would you rather pay a tariff's cost or pay more for products produced domestically? We will see how every company deals with this.

Tariffs are often presented as a shield for domestic industries, but economically they are counterintuitive: by limiting foreign competition, they reduce the pressure on local companies to innovate, improve efficiency, or lower costs. Without that competitive drive, businesses can stagnate, producing inferior goods and services while charging higher prices. The irony is that the domestic consumers tariffs are meant to protect end up paying more for worse products, while the broader economy loses out on the dynamism and progress that open competition usually sparks.

Suddenly reshaping supply chains to respond to tariffs carries significant risks that ripple across the economy. Companies may be forced to abandon established, efficient networks in favor of hastily arranged alternatives, which often means higher costs, logistical bottlenecks, and reduced reliability. These abrupt shifts can disrupt production schedules, strain relationships with long-term suppliers, and erode quality control. Worse, the uncertainty discourages investment in long-term innovation, as firms divert resources to short-term survival.

When unemployment is already low, suddenly finding enough workers to reconfigure supply chains in response to tariffs becomes nearly impossible without driving up labor costs. Firms must compete for scarce talent, often retraining or relocating employees, which adds further expense and delays. At the same time, the abrupt shift discards sunk costs. Prior investments in established supplier relationships, infrastructure, and logistics are thrown out before they would have been depreciated. These wasted resources are replaced by new costs for recruitment, training, and building fresh networks, all of which inevitably flow into higher prices for consumers. In effect, tariffs don’t just disrupt trade; they force companies to burn past investments while layering on new inefficiencies that must show up in the prices of goods.

Stack ranking that you are suggesting is just as stupid.

Maybe lose some weight then? Because if you don't fit in one of these you must weigh about 200 kilos.

Prices are far lower than that unless you insist on a car that is way too large for European streets, which is, unfortunately, fashionable nowadays.
