I am sure that the wikipedia entry was very harmful. E.g. I regularly google the name of people that I will have a meeting with (as preparation) or trying to find the linkedin profile. I am sure many HR departments do this as well. In this

In my recollection it wasn‘t about saving 10 cents in the beginning, but about saving 1-2$ per message, since one of the first use cases it enabled was free international texting. That was a HUGE benefit. All the first evangelists I knew we

It was pushed for mainly by his coalition partner (the green party) and none of them work for russian oil companies. Anti-nuclear is a very big movement in Germany and the majority of the population don‘t want to have them operated.

Quick update: I just sent a short & friendly email to my local member of parliament asking him about his position on the matter. Took about 10 minutes.

I don‘t know the proper solution, but building 27 ‚excellent clusters‘ for battery technology wouldn‘t make any sense. If it was national programmes then it would probably also be nationally funded and bigger economies (like Germany/It

Thanks for the nudge! I was too lazy at the time and ranted here instead (which probably took longer than making the edit would have). I just edited the article and removed the questionable section with my edit. (And it was faster than writ

„Inductive reasoning aptitude is often counter-productive in fields like sales where tolerance is very important, because highly inductive people tend to be good at seeing faults in others.“ That is huge BS on very many levels. 1) Good sale

Founder from Berlin here. €50k for 25% is really off-market, even if you are a first time founder (at least in Berlin, Paris, London and hopefully all across Europe). And IMHO having worked in a startup (even if you aren‘t the founder) is s

We have alcohol free beer and wine in the office. Have been on a few 11am zoom calls with a big glass of beer in my hand - which was really nice (especially on a hot day with an ice cold non alc beer), but has sometimes confused the clients

Imho, if above comment were a reason to be fired at intel, then it really wouldn‘t be an organization worth working for.

Small observation on this great comment :) I noticed on twitter that the culture (at least in my bubble) valued „smartness“ over empathy. In attempt to say something „smart“ it lead to many snarky responses. I also noticed this pattern in m

That is a really interesting thought. But isn‘t the chance of mutation per viral replication (which happens million-fold in each human per infection) and not per human? What I meant was that if we contain the virus to only ever get 1% of th

My layman understanding is that it doesn‘t work that way. Less spread = less chance of mutation = less chance of uber infectious new flu strain.

The three most common $reasons I see are: 1) They believe it will help them attract engineering talent, assuming many want to work in a micro services architecture. 2) They believe it will impress investors that they use micro services or b

At least for Germany it seems fairly straight forward. You simply need to qualify for a blue card. https://service.berlin.de/dienstleistung/324659/en/ The target salary you need to achieve is € 44k / yea

Thank you. Very interesting read. I have never understood some of the low IFR estimates. If you look e.g. at numbers for New York State. They have had 50.905 covid related deaths ( https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus&#x

Imho that wouldn‘t cause quality to go up. It would just make it more expensive to develop and to fix bugs. Even more cover your ass would go on. Or at least a huge share of that burden needs to be on the client so that they define and then

It doesn‘t make Apple bad. It just means they inhibit innovation. The same way that a micro-managing manager that needs to sign-off on everything stops progress, but that doesn‘t make them a bad person. Your argument of porting everything t

Imho the app store clearly hinders innovation. In a recent project of ours (corona related) we had to wait over 1 month for Apple to approve our app - never knowing whether they would actually approve it. Google Play rejected it, saying it
