I disagree wholeheartedly. People who have a car should absolutely have cheaper and less complicated ticket options, so that they leave their car at home more often.

It’s a fantastic step forward, making commuting with public transport much more affordable for many. But another nice thing about the 9€ ticket was that it got rid of all other tickets for occasional users, too. If you’re using public trans

I found it pretty weird that they would introduce that as a tag, which seems orthogonal to the license. Shouldn't the creator's wishes on usage rather be reflected directly in the license itself? Also, as CC-BY-ND disallows remixi

Yep, this makes it quite the minefield, when a French person you don't know too well tells you "I'm really really hangry right now". Are they grumpy and hungry and joking, or so completely furious that they started overc

Ha, of course he would talk about this. But I hadn't seen this one yet, thanks for the link! I've been to his show, my favorite bit was the one about carrelage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIqVY1SwXls

That's a bit of a harsh tone, but the author didn't leave a good impression by getting their German names wrong. The second mention of Schnauze is missing an e, as is > Kastanienalle Strasse It's Kastanienallee. And as it&

Also fun when paying by card: the cheese seller on the market will only take credit cards (and using a Girocard/EC-Karte fails the transaction). And the restaurant around the corner only takes Girocards. They tell you with multiple sig

There is probably a majority support for keeping cash as a privacy-friendly method of paying in Germany, as an addition to card-paying. But at least in my little bubble in Berlin, everybody hates the cash-only places. When I go to lunch wit

If you put it like that, the marker would only make sense in an otherwise serious conversation. But when it's used as a stop marker for every other message in a texting app, that's already a very casual and light-hearted environme

The magic method resolution seems much more intriguing to me than the infinite array. Are there any programming languages (or perhaps a better word would be paradigms), that take this concept further? I would imagine that I just state comme

Fair enough. But for me, when talking about `having an insight`, I don't imagine a non-human entity doing that. And to be pedantic (talking about Germans doing research, I hope everyone would expect me to be), the institute is called F

You probably mean Karlheinz Brandenburg, the developer of MP3, who worked on psychoacoustics. Not completely off though, as he did the research at a Fraunhofer research institute, which takes its name from Joseph von Fraunhofer, the invento

Thanks for these suggestions! I'm already a fan of Fry and Laurie, of David Mitchell, and have read the Night Watch. (And some Asimov, but in my native tongue.) So it's highly likely I'd enjoy the rest of these things.
