I am not arguing for that, they should when the economic situation demands it. And they should be equally eager to drop it when the situation changes. I am all for more pragmatism and less ideology in terms of economic policy decisions, its

What it was is essentially a supply chain management system... Something every big coorporation does today -- some of them on a scale comparable to a nation state.

Like with every substance, the dosage and regularity of intake are the key factors that determine what it does to you. Coffee can be good for your health, but it also can be detrimental... Every habit can become an addiction, even coffee --

Stephen Baxter is one of my absolute favorites when it comes to SciFi literature. He incorporates hard physics with great storytelling in amazing settings few other authors dare to touch. No one manages to imagine the end of the universe be

If you want to have a nice, clean search experience like google did in the good old days (before everything was page-rank-gamed and hyper-individuialized) just switch to duckduckgo. Google search has become insufferable, it tries to 'g

The way I use booking.com: Search for a suitable hotel or apartment and find their name. Then search for them independently and make the reservation directly. I mean: they have a great search interface and all, but I refuse to funnel money

In Saxony yes, but not in Leipzig. About 50% of my colleagues are foreigners and they all love the city -- it's very international and you can come by with English in most places. Little caveat obviously: there are also quarters where

Nice to see my hometown on HN! It is also one of the most affordable cities in Germany in terms of housing, and probably the best in terms of quality of life / cost of living ratio... If you plan to visit: be sure to check out the Muse

I think so, but it doesn't mean that it is a good idea... Every bit that creates an official identity should be handled with great care.

All this information in one database... Thats the real insanity here. Why would anyone think that this is a good idea? Leave aside security and safeguards for a moment, just compiling this database is neglectful at the very least...

Yeah, it's very intersting indeed. Roads and street layouts usually don't change that much over the centuries -- they get integrated and amended, but seldom disappear. I was pretty amazed to recognize the street layout of Leipzig
