ISO 27001 and 27017 force you to deal with potential exit scenarios early on. In DACH you often need both to get public contracts. I also noticed that costumers are weary of American cloud solutions and SaaS solutions. Most are aware that t

See level rise is not the relevant measure. A single catastrophic event that causes a temporal rise of several meters can permanently alter the coastline and storms are worsening.

I met Mr Schröder on Saturday in the Opera. I can therefore vouch that he is not in Russia.

Cool, I did not know that this is so disputed a quasi factoid. Thanks for cleaning my brain! Germany has “Baumkataster” which are databases for public trees in cities, they save all kind of tree metadata but gender is missing … https:&#x2F

“Arboreal sexism” is a similar phenomenon: We prefer male trees in cities since they do not produce fruit that drop on the streets. The result is a much higher pollen load.

If you look at problems that can be solved by reasoning in text form or maybe even images, I am more than willing to accept that we simply cannot know when the curve will level. The situation is drastically different for problems that requi

That is the main source. To better get what this is: “Leaders from various religious groups met last week with representatives from companies including Anthropic and OpenAI for the inaugural “Faith-AI Covenant” roundtable in New York to dis

I love the polish, but credit where credit is due: „Poland is the largest beneficiary of EU funds 2014-2020, with one in four euro going to Poland“ https://www.gov.pl/web/funds-regional-policy/poland-at-the-f... U

In many cases that is the desired effect: Cashflow constraints are a good predictor for problematic behaviour. Example: Being poor is not the reason for drug addiction, but drug addiction will make you poor in the long run. The one good thi

My experience with humanity is: Most humans are nice people. Many are also overwhelmed, self absorbed and make excuses. That general observation, for me at least, describes the world from rural Pakistan to backwater Tschechia. The only exc

I think the cost of doing this as well as the time you need to invest are what puts pressure on you. I’ll have to ask what would happen if you do not comply. The Danish are nice people, but they really do not like if you break the social ru

In a friends school in Denmark the teacher could decide that your family had to host a party for all the kids at the family home, so they could get to know each other better, and that was repeated until all involved parties stoped misbehavi

Historically the codified office of the Ombudsman came to Sweden after the Swedish King had to search refuge in Turkey and observed a similar position there. I love that story, shows you that the world always was quite small and that what w

Cool. The biggest question for me is: Why not LaTex or org-modes? Tex is the superior typesetting, and since the advent of LLMs getting things done in Tex became a breeze. Org-mode is the superior universal markup for, well everything, only

Economic collapse means hardship. Inflation means hardship. Iran is the first conflict in many years that might inflict tangible suffering on the American people.

A war continuous until one side has caused the other more suffering than it can take. When dealing with the Middle East we keep underestimating the amount of hardship the people I these countries can endure or be forced to endure.

Hollywood moved into the “exploitation” phase of its optimisation problem: Sequels, prequels, spinoffs, remakes. If a movie costs O(Billion) to make, you need to be sure to at least earn back 1.x times the investment, the only way to do thi

A certain kind of mind deals with stress by devising solutions, even if one cannot put them into action. Seeing people in Israel, Iran, the general Middle East as well as the Ukraine live in fear of drone strikes might have incentivised thi

A PhD at a research focused experimental institution creates a particular kind of human that is absurdly resistant to stress and despair: Ask an x-ray physicist using DESY about the horrors of “Beam Time” or a chemist about crystallising pr
