This seems unsustainable. Cranberry fields forever? Seriously, we need legally imposed limits on the use of single-use plastic wrapping, a correction of the economics and a change in habits. Our family consumes two kinds of crispbread. One

Oh, dear, I hope that was ironic? There are so many interactions at work outside of politics, which I would define as the advancement of your personal agenda before that of the organization and of anybody else. I have such rich interactions

Oh, what satisfaction there was in removing the gunk off the mouse's spinning rods!

I wonder if it's worth worrying about that. There's plenty of freelancers who have no ambition of growing beyond a small team that helps them with the side stuff. Those are the freelancers who don't want to become entrepreneu

Interesting but not entirely convincing link between being introverted or extroverted and self confidence. That probably deserves a little more nuance. Confidence in which ability? I'd like to read more on that.

So once everybody has automated this, the next level will be the handwritten note with a personal detail , which will increase (repeat) sales. Back in the day, I used to write a handwritten note with every single box I sent out. Since I ha

I struggle with this, too. I'm just very verbose. I try to keep this piece of advice about working to shorten a text in mind: it's done, not when there is nothing more to add, but when nothing more can be removed. (Saint-Exupery,

That's a very clean way of dividing up the data, I'd be curious about those figures too. I was going to question the relevance of comparing tech-caused accidents with human-caused accidents since, despite the growing evidence that

Oh, dear. Managing deep trees of TODOs is... not a good way of managing TODOs. I find long TODO lists/trees stressful and cumbersome. I used to maintain quite a few of those, but eventually found it discouraging. There's no end in

Lots of good advice already, specifically taking breaks/a break, cutting back hours and therapy. Burnout is serious stuff. Reading your post, I get the sense that you're stuck in the tension between not feeling competent enough ye

Well, I did write that I nowadays store digital photos of my important notes. However... Like psyc, I still have notebooks around from my teenage years. What I no longer have are the recordings from my piano compositions from that same peri

I used to use OneNote with the Microsoft Pen (or is it Stylus? I forget...) to take notes in this fashion. Eventually, though, there are only a few cases, like large diagrams that you need to evolve over time, where a digital solution beats

The trucker's hitch is one ofy favorites. I use it (with some Paracord) to tie stuff done to my bike. A piece of cord is just so much more durable and more compact than those elastic bands with hooks. I prefer taking the extra 30 secon

I learned the taut-line hitch a while ago and find it great for exactly this purpose, and it looks a bit easier than the one you suggest. Do you have a particular reason to recommend this one?

Not just America. Europe, and other civilisations in the past, always benefited from immigration.

Not in agriculture, so I don't really know what I'm talking about, but... Isn't that pretty much everything that's wrong with our agriculture today? Isn't large-scale monoculture, which this system obviously aims to

Those are some pretty interesting websites of yours! I checked them out to see if they shared some sort of common Kirby look-and-feel, but you seem to put enough emphasis on design to offset any such thing. The projects look very interestin

That TODO item is just the receipt for a few bytes of technical debt you took with the universe. A few bytes is nothing compared to Management's roadmap, so it gets ignored. But have no doubt: the universe always returns to claim its t

Well, there's Schröder, of course, definitely a bit embarrassing now. But there were also those for whom this actually was a legitimate foreign policy strategy. I do believe DE's current president and former foreign policy ministe

I think we're recognising that this strategy was a mistake and simply didn't work with Russia. If we trade with them, they'll become more like us, was the thinking, and the strategy behind the German government's policy

One might argue that our strive for convenience, especially around transportation and throwaway plastics, is about to ruin the whole planet.

Is it, though? I'd imagine throwing more partners into the mix only increases the pressure to generate big returns in the short run. Do you have any examples?

That's what I did, and that's not how it works. The Bürgschaftsbank guarantees the loan in case the founder fails to repay. I'm going through that right now.

I like some of what the article proposes, but some parts leave me skeptical. The author sketches out an industry of funds to buy and scale small businesses to Middelstand level. I think one of the reasons for Germany's strong Mittelsta

> they give you a loan Yes, they do, if you can provide a security for the loan. More often than not, the founder is the guarantor, which sucks for them if the business fails. This is moderately founder friendly, to say the least.

I agree 100%. I just closed my business, and a recent article on HN (~ "my personal website is a single binary") inspired me to start a personal website again, done in the same fashion. I think it's important to keep some lev
