The electricity price for German households ist easy to Google. So why invent absurd numbers?

The cheapest price ist below 30cents. The price ist high because the Power companies can get away with it. That ist all.

Power in your country is likely highly subsidized ...

Well,
I know about a (good no idea?) developer who had a lot of money.
He paid "online gamers" to harvest items for him in an online game.

Because he thought (and told so in public): "I love that game, and when I play it the 5h a week while I have time, I want to play it by the most potential".

Using an LLM for coding is more or less the same.

If you have to write 100 lines of code that you have clearly in your mind, and takes 3h to do right, but an LLM can spit it out in 30 seconds ... does that make you a bad coder? Using an LLM I mean? I would say your boss calls you a good coder, haha!

Because they did not run on pay check to pay check limits and/or still where able to do business without computers, or we simply do not know about them.

Again: a million dollar profit bakery which has 10 or 15 places to sell bread and 2 or 3 bakeries, with a computer crash still has the supply chain of incoming flour and other raw materials: as that was an agreed delivery contract months/years ago. So: no immediate harm. They might have some big long term customers (daily delivered) , and they just continue to deliver. Then the remaining customers are day to day passing customers.

While it seriously might be a pain ... they can continue.

And then look at the ransomware gangs: they are probably small teams ... they do not have the time to attack an absurd amount of companies, but have to do the research to find some which might pay.

You learn about Kelvin in school.
In Physics, in 5th grade.

So I assume "99.9999% of the human population cann^Ho^Ht^H do that"

And outside of the US: no one is using F ... so your idea how many people can convert easy from C/K to F: is absurd :P

Obviously my assumption above might be wrong. Gosh, we should google now what the temperature scale is in Japan, Kenya or ...

Perhaps one of those uses F?

Of course in Physics we use Kelvin.

Having a random zero point makes no sense.

About the unit one could argue, as the "degree" (aka one step from one point to the other) is Celsius.

Sitting here after a beer, I have no immediate idea if there is a more plausible "stepping" rate.

For example one could have picked absolute zero and then use Fahrenheit steps. Would make sense or not? Question is: would there be a human conceivable step size that makes more sense in physics? Everything much bigger than Celsius, or much smaller than Fahrenheit would not make so much sense in daily life.
