Very good video. The quote that stood out to me was „This is what happens when a country has basically given up on taxing the rich“. I wonder why this is happening all over the planet. Shouldn’t there at least be some countries that try to

Is there an obligation to record meetings, too?

It’s not really taboo, it is being mentioned in, like, the comments on every 2nd post on climate change. The problem with this line of thinking (and similar ones like „what about China?“) is that it basically absolves you from any responsib

+1, my layman’s understanding of this was: Assume you write a bachelor thesis on topic X. Then, move universities (or professors, whatever), and write more or less the same thesis again to get a masters degree. That’s self plagiarism.

It’s not completely wrong though. To be clear, I think basically any role can be meaningful to someone, depending on their views and upbringing. However, some roles lend themselves more easily to find meaning in them, think e.g. roles with

Then I’m even more confused what the problem is. Do you have so much laundry that you keep both machines perpetually running in parallel? I can only imagine that happening if you have a household of 8+ people.

The new generation of appliances are more energy and resource efficient. They trade the off with using more time, though. Nearly all appliances have a „quick“ mode though if you really need something fast.

On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, if you want unbiased, quasi-scientific tests, who is gonna pay for it? It is actually in your best interest if YOU are paying for it, since then you are the customer and not the product. That said, i

What always confuses me about the „search has gotten so bad“ mentality is that it is often based on anecdotal evidence at best, and anecdotal recollection at worst. Like, sure, I have the impression that search got worse over the last yea

You don’t care about the impact on your health or your children’s health? That seems short sighted to me.

Yeah but there are some nearly objective truths that should easily bring you to the 95%ile. Like, spend conscious time with your kid (play with them, read to them, etc) over letting them watch YouTube or TV. Or, don’t invalidate their emoti

You would think that this is exactly the kind of project that carbon offsets should fund…

There will never be an end of work, no matter our technological advancements. At least not while we have capitalism, it just goes straight against its core philosophy. If I understand it correctly.

*If* you are taken to court, it’s probably always worth the fight, losing such a trial has massive consequences. However, in the past, that was an empty threat, the FTC would only take cases to court that they would win 100% - which vastly

I disagree. You don’t necessarily have to win big cases. You just have to show that you are willing to take them to court, and that alone projects power. The result is that companies are less likely to file dubious mergers, and this is exac

Thanks for the data! It seems that adjusted for inflation, it still is an overall net decrease (11,500$ in 1990 equals about 27,000$ today).

Am I the only one thinking that home schooling is the wrong solution to the underlying problem? The problem is that the public education sector has been - for years - continuously squeezed dry of any funding. Teachers are quitting left and

I’d go out on a limb here and conjecture that you can still by stuff from your own money without submitting a claim.

I think that’s the challenging part. A product manager is supposed to stuff holes in your team that no one else currently does. Do you have a strong TL with a good product sense? Then the PM should probably spend their time talking to custo

Define successful startups. As far as I know, there have been quite a few, but they are usually just bought out by the giant MANGA corporations. I think what is true is that it is harder to get VC backed capital here, and hence a lot of “wi

I am a bit surprised that this has to be elaborated here (as stories like the following are posted here fairly often), but here you go: - musk openly sharing a German nazi party stance and equating migration with “invasion” [1] - he allows

Considering Musk’s history of far-right tendencies, I hope that countries and companies alike are thinking very carefully whether they want critical infrastructure to be backed by this guy.

Hmm, I don’t know, what about products that have very thin margins? I suppose you would like to mirror the market price of that product as closely as possible, and that seems like it’s better to automate it.

Does it have WiFi sync? Seems like all the big players are committed to removing that, and that’s like the one single thing I want from a password manager: don’t store all my passwords in the cloud.
