Weather or not the pro sports model is a good thing to aspire to...I'll leave that up to debate but that's a reference point where this model works. It could be adopted with slight modifications. The apprenticeship model also work

The problem is that it's too much hassle for people with ad blockers to white list the good guys...and there's very little incentive to do so (you feel better by supporting someone for their work which isn't really actionable

It's mentioned in the "myths about remote work" article that's linked but I think for startup-y kind of things social/power norms kind of force you to not work remotely for at least a decent stretch of the time. o&#

I don't think FB should be required to do this (I don't think they are but who knows what people will demand) nor do I think that Google should be forced to filter these stories out of their search results etc. Ultimately the resp

Has there been extensive research or trials of corporate sponsorship (or are there any startups exploring this idea)? There are probably some principal/agent issues but by and large why can't Google sponsor some CS students and th

The greatest insight I had when it comes to time management came from a surprising source. I had played around a bit with Pomodoro for my typical intellectual tasks (research, programming etc.) with no real success. Then on a summer weekend

One thing I like and heard for the first time on public buses in Bamberg (Germany) is prerecorded station names as in "next stop X" where each stop was read by a different school child. Made it a lot more friendly than the standar

No word on if this is FLOSS or not in the article so I'm assuming it'll be something closed. Which essentially renders the entire exercise moot form my POV. I also don't like how they mentioned Linux. They make it sound as if

I thought it was interesting/a bit strange that Obama mentioned this problem during his "farewell tour" press conference in Germany (along with the portrayal of USA=Russia and the like on social media).

I also thought that was the most interesting of the featured experiences. Actually gardening with anyone is probably a really great/fun social experience (I'd assume I do pretty much no gardening outside of some indoor experiments

I feel like they should have done this under a different name. Or am I missing something and "Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind" is an outdated tome and not relevant anymore?

Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't aware of it. Seems like it'll be a simple 24 Euro payment in 2033.

I'd love to have a team you accepted on the podcast right after they got accepted and at various stages of the process (at the very least sometime before demo day and shortly after). Basically get a view into the expectations and what

True but it cuts both ways. Imagine you need someone else to drive your car for whatever reason...you could be stuck.

I have a license for manual transmission as that's the default in Germany. My US license is expired now* but I only drove automatics there. I always thought it was curious that the default in the US is automatic and in most other count

There have been quite a few simulator studies that have shown significantly worse driving for cell phone users. Granted it's a jump from that to the real world. I remember one from a while back that showed that cell phone users were as

It's pretty clear to me that people value Snapchat. Imagine totaling up the time voluntarily spent on Snapchat. Capturing that value...that's another question but there's a lot of economic value provided by Snapchat (as in pe

Sky (pay TV in Germany) has a feature where you can get sports news via WhatsApp. You have to add their number to your contacts and send "Start" to it. I haven't used it and don't know how they do it or what happens but

According to some scientists [1], death penalty cases have a 4.1% error rate. There's logical arguments that the error rate for life sentences is higher and for non capital felonies it might be a lot higher. Rape-Murders have a 3.3% fl

The "easiest" fix to this issue would be fixing education. If it's generally easy/inexpensive to get a good education for every citizen (e.g. via a taxation based social contract) that particular incentive goes away. Dif

I really like GITS: Stand Alone Complex. It's probably the best animated series I have watched (the other one that comes to mind, while quite different, would be Batman The Animated Series). Edit: I'd love some cyberpunk-style rec

I was wondering the same. Iirc the original title was "I've had enough" or something similar, only glanced at it the first time around.

Pretty bad practices by Microsoft and sounds like that has a decent chance of costing them money in the EU. However I think the point that having one monopoly AV decreases security because the bad guys can adapt to it is at least not as cle

Maybe there can be some seasteading experiment after all? I'd be really curious to see how it would play out. Seems like a crazy idea worth trying despite all the counterarguments I can think of simply to collect data/experience a
