Especially inside roundabouts its recommended to drive in the middle in order to not give any cars an insensitive to overtake and taking the next exit while you as a cyclist want to take the second next one. Despite driving in the middle it

Is there an overview on how Spotify distributes the money? In my opinion when I'm listening to one single song a month then the artist (incl. label/writers/..) should get at least 60-70% of this $10 (paid subscription). This

Well written article! As much as I would like to but I think it will probably never happen in the near future. Not because of technical reasons as some people state in the article. In my opinion the technical difficulties are not the most d

I'm interest to know if Uber knew about this. I wouldn't hire people who take documents with them they stole in their previous company - who knows what they do once they leave.

I'm currently using IntelliJs database interface to access PostgreSQL but I would definitely pay for something similar like SequelPro for Postgres.

Interesting to see how many products they release every year. In the beginning they had a new model once every couple of years but after 2011 up to multiple each year. I'm wondering if this is just because of the improvements in the te

The Youtube video made by the guy who bends the 6 Plus with his hands shows that the weak point is at the volume slot. I think its a bit disappointing that ConsumerReports didn't go into more detail.

They managed to close down Wegelin Bank which operated inside Switzerland only. The US Gov probably threatened to arrest employees or something like that but officially the bank only published generic reasons about "pressure" for

It has changed a lot how this is organized in the last 10 years so I`m not really up to date anymore. I think currently besides weekly school the apprentice will go to multiple week long sessions at the school where all the fundamental thin

The content of an apprenticeship is defined on a higher level and not by technology. So it doesn't really matter what kind of technology the company uses. Examples would be: Can read&write a spec, can develop a program based on a s

We have this apprenticeships in Switzerland for all kind of jobs including IT. Those apprenticeships do always end in an official degree which is controlled by the government and is the same for all professions (e.g. mechanic, electrician,

They gave their game as part of the rewards. I wouldn't say that a prototype fulfills this promise. Perhaps Kickstarter shouldn't allow to give the product people back with money as reward because if the project fails this product

Doesnt this $2.45 left over money make the bookkeeping more complicated for them? Because in theory someone could come back after a couple of years and refill his card so its not possible to book those $2.45 as profit.

The victims insurance will for sure claim damages from the driver. As the driver most probably will not be able to pay the victims insurance has to cover the loss. This on the other hand means that the insurance needs to raise the prices fo

I don't think its advisable to use my self-made quicksilver thermometer for any kind of body temperature measurement.

Well its rather easy to make your own thermometer using the Celsius scale. Put quicksilver in a small glass tube and put it outside. When water starts to freeze mark the current position with 0. Drop it in boiling water and mark it with 100

There was a project proposed in Switzerland about a vacuum metro a couple of years ago. It never made it out of the concept phase because of the costs. The goal was to make a city to city connection with a speed of 800km/h. The project

It looks like most lock picking videos focus on the easy locks. How hard would it be to pick a lock with side pins or however they are called? For example the Kaba locks use them and most houses e.g. in Switzerland do have one of them. htt
