Also, contrary to petrol, we have at least a realistic possibility to recycle batteries and thus eventually need less raw earth inputs over time. While with petrol, you need a stable continuous supply.

Wonder what he thinks about the (no defunct) Tegel Airport in Berlin? Took you 3 minutes from the plane to the Taxi, wonder if any commercial airpot in action today can beat that?

While european law is a lot more employee friendly, what I noticed is that companies are hardly willing to invest even some effort into stringently building their case, which they often could have done, from my laymen perspective. Given tha

I don’t get you intro argument. An estate tax is like the poster child of value moved: from the parents to the children. In contrast to a wealth tax.

I have reason to believe product management wants not to be left behind by the competitors, independent of the quality of their implementation.

How big is the market for that? I’d probably get one as well, but who else would?

Forgot the name, thx. It all boils down to the quality of the proxy one chooses, right?

Isn’t this a perfect example of the side-effect of the introduction of KPIs? Once you introduce KPIs, your observed cohort will adapt and optimize on these KPIs alone and on nothing else, as there is no incentive for them to do so.

A: Yes, why not? B: There is no reason to move this discussion from subscriptions to online services to some totally different topic like citizenship.

I am with you that it would be even better if any financial transaction rooted in a subscription should come with a revokation token + url to unsubscribe. But this sounds like even harder to get, so I’ll settle for the more simple version d

Oh, didn’t mention that because we (almost) have that here in Germany already ;-)

And all this where the needed regulation is so simple: „one can cancel any subscription the same way it was started“. Started by clicking on a website? There must be an unsubscribe button. Sold at my doorstep? Next time your sales people tr

Survivorship bias? There’s tons of „Internet Investments“ that did not work out.

Replace „to find“ with „to be accepted“. There is still a lot of (stupid) company rules about hiring only people with an advanced degree.

Would you say the same about a drone operator in ukraine, attacking russian troops on ukraine territory? I feel like there is still a distinction here. Between "traditional" warfare and those "anti-terror" operations.

Also, you want your scam to not be too sophisticated as that would make your live harder. A less sophisticated scam will auto-filter those with critical thinking skills upfront, so you don't even have to try to convince them. Which giv

I don’t think it’s about accountability, after all democracy has more or less the same accountability mechanisms as a publicly traded company. Given the massive public interest, there is probably at least an order of magnitude more oversigh

I have all speakers on Ethernet to start with. But I also had to put them into the same vlan as my phone, as I could not come up with a firewall config to span multiple vlans. It’s tricky.

Minus the fact that the election logic can result in the overall more successful candidate to loose. Because no one cared to adapt an over 200 year old rule to changes in transportation and communication technology over the last century.

Just rent your office out as a co-working space. That way you can even run a profit off it. And keep an eye out how long it takes the board to realize that the assistant to the CEO is no longer a pure cost, but actually returning a profit f
