Airtable is widely lauded at being a modern, web-based version of Access. Haven‘t tried myself, but it‘s looking promising.

My take on this is that it's not possible on a long enough time scale. If you try to curtail freedom of knowledge and trade, eventually you will get artifacts that will slow down the progress of your society (just look at the Github ba

About the forgeries, I‘m not so sure. Judging by the other secondary conviction of failing to get a tax stamp to sell her drugs (!), the forgery conviction could just as well have been something much more mundane, like her passing off the d

I‘m sceptical. 20 recruiters on my LinkedIn profile per month would disagree. I‘ve turned in my notice more than once in Germany and literally had a job offer a day later.

Exactly this. The Langewiesche legacy goes back to his father Wolfgang Langewiesche, who is also a terrific writer, incidentally about probably still the best book about flying fixed wings, Stick and Rudder (1936). But flying has moved on a
