@boehmlift Hallo Andreas, Danke für Deinen tollen Beitrag. Der SCU GRES 225 kWh Speicher läuft grossartig mit Deinem mobilen 20kW BHKW..es ist ist der Beginn unser wunderbaren Reise in eine 100 % Offgridworld unter 100.000 Euro Investionssumme. https://t.co/fGsZTP957j

Ich rüste eine neue 3000 qm Lagerhalle um auf 100 Prozent Autarkie. Es gibt keinen Netzanschluss. 100KW PV, Batteriespeicher 200 KWH, Propangasgenset mit 20 kW elektrisch und 40 KW thermisch. Kein Trafo, kein BKZ, keine Grundgebühr und sowas. Dafür ein durchschnittlicher Strompreis unter 10 Cent.

This is genuinely shocking, and says so much about our approach to China.

I decided to check for independent reviews of the English version Xi Jinping's latest book, published a year ago, to see what people had to say about it since I hadn't read it myself.

To my surprise, I couldn't find any: not a single thoughtful review about the book out there! Even on Amazon, check it for yourself (https://t.co/1LVlhACA53): the book has only 3 ratings, that's it.

No matter where you stand on China, you’ve got to admit that’s pretty crazy: the sitting president of the world's rising superpower publishes a 700-page book explaining exactly what he's doing and why, and we don’t even care to look.

If there ever was a fact that illustrates just how willfully ignorant we are about China, this is it.

All the more because we then go spew the usual clichés around how secretive and impenetrable the Chinese system is: the book is on Amazon for $21 for crying out loud!

Anyhow, this felt so wrong that I figured I'd fix it. I bought the book, read it attentively and wrote what I hope you'll agree is a thoughtful review of it.

The book contains genuinely surprising passages, such as Xi writing that oversight of the Communist Party by "the judiciary, the public, and the media" was not just something the Party must “readily accept,” but something that he framed as historically decisive - an essential component to "escaping the historical cycle of rise and fall" that has doomed every dynasty in China's history.

Other passage that I'm sure would surprise many: a common narrative out there is that China blames the West for the century of humiliation and is driven by revenge. Well, Xi explains that's not true at all: the century of humiliation was China's own mistake, originated in the Ming Dynasty's disastrous "policy of national seclusion" that "resulted in China missing out on the opportunities presented by the Industrial Revolution" and "led to China’s decline."

All in all, the book is remarkably self-reflective and thoughtful. For instance Xi recognizes that his drive for “full and rigorous internal governance” - including to rid the Party of corruption - risked "instill[ing] fear and apprehension, or intimidate members into inaction.” He emphasizes the need for pragmatism in this regard, codified in a framework called the “Three Distinctions” that separates honest mistakes - made while experimenting, reforming, or operating without precedent - from deliberate violations committed for personal gain.

And many other surprises still. I found it a genuinely fascinating read for anyone interested in how the Chinese system works and how Xi thinks - or anyone interested in governance, period, as so much of what he writes is pretty universally applicable.

This is the link to my review of the book, an article I titled "The Book the West Refuses to Read": https://t.co/DYowWEESOd

This is an appreciation post for @qatarairways and @HIAQatar.

- Food coupons were distributed to everyone at the airport. You could just redeem them at the food court. For all meals, no less.

- We had decided to stay at the lounge until the airspace opened. In fact, we went off to sleep at 10:30pm itself. At 12:30am we were all woken up by the lounge staff and asked to move to the transfer desk. The entire airport was getting evacuated, including the staff. Everything was handled smoothly.

- Every single staff was attentive and answering questions with a smile. Even if they didn’t have answers…they made us feel very, very comfortable.

- Rooms arranged across different 5 star properties across Doha city. With breakfast, lunch and dinner all taken care of. And, we have assurance that stay and food will be taken care of until the airspace is shut.

- We are getting all our updates through the hotel @pullmanhotels for now. Folks at the hotel are the sweetest too. Incredibly kind, responsive, and with a sense of humour completely intact despite the pressure and stress.

We are staying safe, as safe as we possibly can.

I can answer questions, if any.

Europe is taxed and regulated to an extreme level that Americans just wouldn’t even comprehend.

“Living in Germany is tough.”

“If you have dreams, we are gonna destroy them… If you get a promotion, they will double tax you, so you make the same amount as before.”

“There is no way to grow and achieve anything, they just take, take, take.”

Sie wollen jetzt auch in unsere Autos! Google-Tochter Waymo plant autonome Fahrzeuge für jedermann mit
Toyota

#Waymo #Toyota #AutonomesFahren #Robotaxi

Technologieoffensive von Google und Toyota: Die Alphabet-Tochter Waymo testet bereits erfolgreich fahrerlose Robotaxis in US-Großstädten. Jetzt folgt der nächste Schritt: Gemeinsam mit Toyota soll die Technik in die Serienproduktion für Privatfahrzeuge überführt werden. Es geht um nicht weniger als den Einstieg in einen Massenmarkt für autonome Mobilität – mit über 250.000 bezahlten Fahrten pro Woche als Grundlage.

Der Konkurrenzdruck wächst: Während Waymo auf eine Kombination aus Kameras und Laserradaren setzt, will Elon Musk Teslas allein per Kamera autonom fahren lassen. Doch Experten bezweifeln die Sicherheit dieses Ansatzes. Auch Amazon mischt mit seiner Zoox-Sparte mit, ebenso wie VW und Uber. Der Wettlauf um den lukrativsten Zukunftsmarkt der Autoindustrie ist längst eröffnet.

Waymo steigt jetzt voll in den Kampf um das Auto der Zukunft ein.

Vielen Dank für den wichtigen Hinweis!
