@levelsio Completely agreed, even if I think 26º is fine :P

[Jesse Peltan @JessePeltan]

The reason the mayor has to ask everybody to set their thermostat to 78° is because we don’t have real price signals in electricity.

You get overcharged for 99% of the year to subsidize peak demand.

This destroys the profitability of insulation, efficient HVAC, home batteries, etc.

Since prices don’t reflect real costs, we get pleading and rationing instead of smart investment.

Shortages are a result of the socialism that is ubiquitous in electricity. NYC is not unique in this.

@levelsio Sounds you are running out of arguments?

[Nicolas Degen @nidegen]

I am the first to make fun of the European technology aversity, but 26ºC is totally fine!

[@levelsio @levelsio]

$300/night to sleep in 26°C/79°F in Brussels!

🥵🥵🥵

Make it make sense

[Nicolas Degen @nidegen]

@timsneath Of course! But please change the entire region, we also don't need Fahrenheit or feet in the US too!

It's fun how smartphones have allowed everyone to live in their own unit bubble, I rarely rely on temperature data from anywhere else:)

@ens_pyrz @ETH @EPFL It's not the university's job TBH. If they graduate ETH, they should be capable of changing careers.

@levelsio I you sleep naked at 18º, fine. But as long as you use a blanket you can also let the temp up:)

[Nicolas Degen @nidegen]

@thealepalombo That church looks like AI;) I guarantee you there is no such lake in FL:)

[Nicolas Degen @nidegen]

@ens_pyrz I'll let you know if I ever should hire!

[Nicolas Degen @nidegen]

@ens_pyrz I can only recommend it!

The best is to get married to a US lady of course;)

One trick I have heard is a person renting a place, turning it into a escape room and running the business with employees from Switzerland. Then you can get a enterepreneur Visa I think.

[Nicolas Degen @nidegen]

@Alexander__Ens Fine. Will test tonight ;)

[Nicolas Degen @nidegen]

@levelsio AC is only needed during heat phases, maybe 4 weeks a year in Europe. Your sleep will be fine!

[Nicolas Degen @nidegen]

@NYCMayor Please also tell @nypl, it's always freezing there!

A fact that still blows my mind:

This Boeing 777 spends about 20 hours a day in the air. And only about 4 hours on the ground each day. ~80% of its life is spent above 30k feet.

@myles_snider Is that salmorejo?! 🤩

[Nicolas Degen @nidegen]

@Dimillian I would love to be able to talk to codex remote via iOS VOIP API:)

@v_pradeilles Sure, but computed properties are still nicer than keeping it all in `body`.
