In the good ol’ days when I ran out of battery and every charger had a different stupid little connector, I often put my phone on the window still or heater to get a little bit of juice to do what I needed to do.
I guess I am a scientist.

- Comment on Bill Gates Bought His Daughter A $16 Million Horse Farm As A Graduation Gift — But Ex-Wife Melinda Says The Kids Were Raised Very 'Middle Class' 2 days ago:
Yeah i find the investment part of the foundation to be quite horrible. It heavily goes against what the foundation is giving grants to.
- Comment on Bill Gates Bought His Daughter A $16 Million Horse Farm As A Graduation Gift — But Ex-Wife Melinda Says The Kids Were Raised Very 'Middle Class' 2 days ago:
I literally explained why it is set up like that. Except for the part where they use money of the foundation to make more money for the foundation.
Gates is in full control of what he “gives” away.
And rightfully so. The foundation is always looking for organizations to give grants to. You can’t just give it all away randomly. To give away so much money you need to put it somewhere where it can be distributed fairly. Which is exactly what the foundation is doing.
The only real argument you can have against Gates is whether or not he should be giving even more. But that is not the best argument because he still is giving away much more than people more wealthy as him.

If you still control how it is spent, are you really giving it away?
Actually yeah. You can’t just give a billion to an organization. Most of the organizations that receive money have the capacity to handle millions at most. Anything above that would just sit on their bank accounts because they’d have to scale up massively.
The amount of money the Gates Foundation is handling requires so much managing that they have 2000 employees.
I suggest to read up on what they are actually doing:
It’s quite altruistic in nature.

I wanna bet all the CO2 emissions he emits are as much as if he’d sell gasoline cars instead.
- Comment on Project to suck carbon out of sea begins in UK 1 week ago:
Did you read the article? It’s a project that isn’t meant to do much at the moment.
At present the amount of CO2 this pilot project is removing is tiny – at most 100 metric tonnes per year – that’s less CO2 than a commercial plane emits crossing the Atlantic.
They are using this project to see how effective they can make it and what its impact on animal life would be.

That means they are asking so much that it wouldn’t even hurt them that much.
- Comment on How one man created 6 million Wikipedia articles, and why he stopped 1 week ago:
My apps default to the system language and use English as a fallback. If I implement multiple translations users can change it in their settings.
Anyways, like many other open source developers, I work for free and am open to PRs.

- Comment on Uncle Sam abruptly turns off funding for CVE program. Yes, that CVE program 1 week ago:
Why would anybody donate and put trust into a very important service that’s ran in an unreliable country?
The rest of the world will probably just take over and leave the US in the dark about useful CVEs that could be used in their cyber ops.

That could ofcourse be a troll too.
- Comment on How one man created 6 million Wikipedia articles, and why he stopped 1 week ago:
It gives Philippine people the ability to edit the translation directly, eventually having their own version of it. As long as the information is correct and it’s only possible grammatical errors, this is quite a good thing to do.
I have translations in the apps I write, and I just generate an automatic translation for languages I do not speak. If anything is wrong, people will correct it and I’ll end up with a fully correct translation.
It is very common.
- Comment on Tesla (TSLA) has to replace computer in ~4 million cars or compensate their owners 1 week ago:
Tesla’s use of the term “full self-driving” has changed over the years, but at the time and for years later, CEO Elon Musk claimed that it would mean Tesla owners would eventually receive a software update that would turn their vehicles into “robotaxis” capable of level-4-5 self-driving, which means unsupervised autonomous driving even with no one in the cars.
Almost 10 years later, this has yet to happen and won’t happen soon in most of the cars Tesla has delivered over the last decade.
Well yes, he’s a liar. elonmusk.today
