That is one of the most impressive sites I have seen in the last few years. I am just blown away by what is technically possible. Thanks for showing me that we live in the future.

I didn't say they are. Only that the initial comment sounded like that. And in the thread above we discussed a bit about their achievements. I really liked it and learned a lot.

Given that the lower half of incomes (actually of the people behind those income numbers) in the US already have a lifestyle that is in line with the Paris 2 degree goal, we are talking about the question if the rich-ish are willing to go t

It is even worse than that. Google nowadays still uses this argument telling you that only this way they can optimize your ad placement towards Conversions. While at the same time telling you (in their documentation) that due to script bloc

I think we need to look at this more like grading on a curve. If I were still actively using Twitter and posting something that I later delete - OK. I can see the argument from a 'right to be forgotten' point of view. If the presi

I agree. Even with France being a country with a lot of nuclear energy in the mix. Even for a country with more carbon based forms of energy there are probably better and lower hanging fruits. Regulation would go a long way, like it did wit

I still use my old Pixel2 as my work phone from my employer. The reason? I can only select Samsung devices as mobile phones from my employer. I just won't.

In Germany the term is used relatively often. At least in the circles I frequent. Especially in the context of who the target audience is (in marketing, when thinking about UX and so on - the prototypical agency/consultants/client

In my youth I once worked for a small local airport near where I grew up. I did a lot of small stuff like mowing lawn between runways and cleaning. One day it was my job to switch out burned out light bulbs from the approach light installat

I see how this sucks for you. Just out of curiosity I calculated roughly the cost in Germany. If you were self employed and made 5.000 € a month your health insurance would be somewhat around 900 € per month. Partly tax deductible if I am n

Wow. I am always stunned reading accounts like this. I can't imagine living in a country where you loose health care when loosing a job or going into retirement. I have to admit reading posts like yours makes me realize how lucky I fee

I have to disagree. At least in some very specific circumstances. First a bit of context. In Germany, some companies have something called a works council. A body of employees that represents the interests of the workforce vis-à-vis the emp

I think we can be a little less confrontational in the discussion. I also believe that it helps not to impute bad intentions to the other side, but to assume that they make mistakes (like every side), but also try to achieve the best possib

I did not say, that I evaluated the studies. I just wanted to exemplify that with very little effort one could find studies. I don't think it is my job to evaluate every study on any subject. If I were interested in the details and int

There are for quite some time already studies happening so I doubt that random people on the internet sharing opinions help much in generating valid (or interesting) hypotheses. Also how would you validate those? Just examples: - https:&#x

The quality of the discussion is in parts abysmal. Assertions are thrown into the world without even mentioning a source. A substantive discussion is therefore not possible. It is just 'opinion porn' imho. Regardless of whether th

Do you have any scientific sources for those claims? Any qualitative good studies?

Interesting. I learned a similar concept from the late Hans Rosling in his book Factfulness. He described that we tend to not derive actionable insights from most news we consume (my wording). I felt the concept to be too similar to be a co
