What's in it for you as an individual? With electricity prices ranging 25 - 50 ¢/kWh (random number from Google, but I guess it is close enough) and a battery of 500kW (6-7 old Tesla batteries maybe?) you will get up to a whopping 125$ per day , probably much less due to delivery costs. On the other hand such an installation will require a lot of real estate and the solar panels/wind turbines will cost a small fortune.

Those kinds of articles make spy movies seem as old and outdated, and this is only the available public information.

Swedish credit cards work with invoices and you are able to pay in partial payments, overdraft doesn't exist

9th generation iPad, it is cheap and more than adequate for the job. It is still being sold so support is guaranteed for a while and has everything you need and much more.

In Sweden you can apply for a credit card directly through the bank. And aren't credit card companies separated from the bank everywhere?

with credit cards =/= using the card regularly

It is a tool, I agree, but like any other tool it can be excessively pushed and alternatives can be prioritized or not.

As far as I can say, with a European state of mind, is that a credit card poses a risk and temptation for the average person. Not everyone is financially responsible, many times simply due to lack of proper financial education, and they deserve a little attention.

Was it?

Clickbait as usual, it is one company's own claim.

Your last sentence is super important, having a sketch of a house is far from enough. Googling "construction detail drawings" will bring up endless drawings of all the small, but critical, things you need to take into account.

Coincidentally I listened today to a podcast about direct water purification using wind turbines, the turbine is directly driving a water pump instead of going electricity->pump.

For water the benefits are not so much about efficiency, direct mechanical systems are the same or less efficient, but about simplicity and cost- those systems can be deployed and maintained in remote and poor areas without a need for costly technicians and parts.

That can be dangerous, what if grandma fainted on the doorstep?

I'm interested! I haven't failed in anything interesting, but would definitely love to hear stories to learn from.

I actually share the same feeling as you do, for example here in Sweden it is very common that many salary or career discussions ends up in someone bragging about being a freelancer and making tons of money- but how many failed that and how?

Why would I need that for? nanosecond accuracy? GPS indoors?

Use Jira's API and automate it using scripts?

I had really good experience with Scrum in a small product team inside a big company, but the team acted as a startup inside a company, had a lot of freedom, schedules were flexible and budgets were large.

Then I had decent experience with scrumban in a team at one of the giants, but again we were lucky to be delivering utility products and not to end customers so we had a lot less dependencies.

Since you mentioned SAFe I assume your company is not small, I have never met a good way to really be Agile in bigger companies (there might be rare counter examples, I know)

It's not about "texting" but about

> Banks with employees covertly texting about official business on apps like Signal, WhatsApp, and iMessage have been caught red-handed. Now federal agencies are charging banks with violating laws requiring recordkeeping on all business matters.

Definitely at the beginning, but this is no longer the case in many parts of the world where charger coverage grew widely, newer cars are adopting Tesla's NACS as charging ports and Tesla opening their network to others.

An anecdotal example from Sweden- there are no Tesla chargers available closeby for people in the big Stockholm metropolitan area.

Does the Dutch authorities think that riding without an helmet is safer for YOU or is it a game of big numbers- more people will ride if there is no helmet requirement which is better and safer for the community as a whole?

Most of them apply to software as well

Actually using cash has its benefits, you subtract fixed expenses from you monthly income (rent, estimated utilities etc) and take the rest in cash, maybe weekly. This way you have a really good sense of how much you have at any given point.

What are your needs? you mentioned that you need something daily, why?

What do you want to achieve? balance at the end of each month, or "can I afford another latte today"?

For the first a spreadsheet can work great, preferably with some system to arrange your budget, but that's not about tooling but simply being disciplined. For the second I don't think anything will last- writing every expense is not scalable.

Not entirely according to my experience, the simple Assa Abloys are indeed rather cheap and easy to change. But the more secure, thus approved by insurance, can be tricky since they contain traps.

There are instruction available on how to change them, but even me, and I am not afraid of DIY, called one of the many locksmiths around here in Stockholm.

> Melbourne that was put together over a weekend

Do you mean a skeleton laid on already poured foundations with water/sewage/electricity drawn, and ready for finishing after this weekend? finishing, carpentry, windows, internal plumbing and electricity takes a lot more to complete than the skeleton itself.

With git you are less bound to a specific provider and your "software driver" is simpler and more standard

Which one is the most future proof? I recently tried Organice, even though it has a different feature set, because is is basically future proof even if the hosting company tops functioning
