Most people do not know about BCC, so in normal posts like this one, I write CC. But perhaps I should in future write (B)CC.

Yes, you could use an alternate event management platform. Now, how to get the user to hop over there?

They are all on facebook already. And if I hear about an event, my friends might be interested in: I just share it. And that is it.

And if you are one of my friends, and facebook thinks you might be interested, it pops up in your feed. And then if you share it, people I do not know about: your friends, see the share.

Most certainly easier to have under "control" than eMail lists.

They do.

as everyone can join the party and vote about everything.

You can can only vote about a topic inside a party, and for some odd reason the other party nearly always takes the opposite stance.

In China you vote, and the topic is settled, and it is mandatory for the parliament to draft laws according to vote.

The whole thing how feeds work should be changed.
It is basically to random.

And the new idiocy of facebook, it puts two buttons under some posts: "are you interested?" "not interested?"
Why the fark do I follow that person? Yes I am interested!

On the other hand dozens of posts of my friends never pop up in my feed. For what do I have friends, if I do not see their posts?

Well, problematic it is in "niche industries", where only a few players dominate the market.
For example Zeiss or ASLM. Zeiss started to use AI pretty extensive since a few month.
Their mantra is: they can now find solutions in their data, which they could not find before. Which helps them to create products which they could not do before. And for the ideas about those products they need the workers they already have. Especially in Germany lay offs are unlikely. Will they hire more "specialists", for creating new products? I don't know.

ASLM, I have no idea what they could do with AI ... my point of thinking is: could they produce more machines? Where would be the point where a layoff of people is likely? Obviously if you can not expand your production capacity, then at some point fewer people with AI usage would make lots (perhaps half?) of the current workers obsolet. OTOH, if they simple can increase production (or research) by 50% with the current work force, then AI would boost their business.

The mantra in the industry at the moment is: people who use AI (and are good at it) will replace people who do not use AI.

Well, after you jumped in, it has purpose.

As it clearly shows that more white women are in those areas than you have as percentage in the population.

Also: it is absolutely not racist to mention a race, for no purpose.
It is racist to be derogative about a race.

Also again: he simply quoted it from the original text ... so that was racist, too?

If I understand it correctly, the installations are relatively big and tied to the grid.
That means if there is a black out for what ever reason, they do not deliver power.

I mean: if some main contributor goes down, it likely takes the whole grid down.

Of course that depends on the overall architecture of the grid, I have no clue how they have done it.

On the other hand in Germany and Thailand, we have many household installations, which continue to operate during a regional power outage.

So the US pays the bills to defend a Danish colony?

Clever of those Vikings. (insert wink here)

That's the sort of thing we should be trying to disengage from. We spend the money, they get the benefits. Given that Denmark supposedly spends more on Greenland than they get you have to wonder why they are bothering. They just like bossing around the Inuit?
