I agree with your comment, but I think the post above is trying to make another point: That in companies you often are expected to take ownership (or are assigned ownership), although the environment does not allow you to make choices - whi

100%. It's a cheap motivational "hack" to call it ownership, but it's just responsibility without little power to make necessary changes. A recipe for frustration. In the example with the trash above, can the boy now cho

Not my hack, but a team effort. Many years ago, I worked for a premium car manufacturer. We wanted to present a new product idea to convince visitors from HQ that we had a project worth funding: The core idea was that the car could be opene

I agree. Why would anyone who wants to track users implement this standard and abandon their dark patterns?

Fun fact, the airport was once the largest building in the world, and is still today in place 28 (source: Wikipedia) and the longest building in europe. What is also missing in the article: Its massive underground site. During WW2, the airp

It's the picture which duiker101 already pointed to, the description of the auction, which mentions a "Puma machine" and the fact that the room was cluttered with sports gear (mentioned in the article). Additionally Puma was

From what I can see in the pictures, this seems like an annex to a larger building. I imagine that the computer was run by a division of the accounting / book keeping department. Assuming that in the old days there were only a few spec

Hey there. Sorry to read about your situation, I hope I can help you a little bit since I'm German. Sabbaticals are not uncommon in Germany any more, but are at will of your employer. Essentially it is just an unpaid leave and a promis

I'm German, moved around quite a bit and spend two years in Silicon Valley. After moving back, I worked for a startup in Berlin and eventually founded (with two other guys) my own startup beginning of 2016, which we sold one year later
