You underestimate the Bavarian politicians. It’s not about the money (or reason), it’s all about sending a message.

Absolutely right, but nobody should expect it to be a perfect solution to all the problems.

I’d like to see such a rule, but doubt that there won’t be any loopholes to circumvent it. You can already see some of those in sports. There are a lot of stories on how clubs “dealt” with financial fair play in european football and I heard rumors of a similar thing with the american salary cap too.

Just some ideas:

• ridiculously long contracts with “fair” pay
• managers are working for a seperate company that only contains managers
• seperate overpayed contracts for a none existing job
• material/service based rewards like private jets

All in all good luck with finding a politician pushing this through (most lf the are exactly in those positions) and finding all the loopholes. Rich people can pay a lot of experts to become even richer

$250 seems like a normal price for Apple peripherals.

It’s an Usb-A gender changer. It’s not that useful but you could use it to turn an otg adapter (female usb-a to male usb-c) into a regular usb-c cable. I’d rather buy a usb-c cable though.

Nice, last time the actual installation was finished in about 1.5mins. Guess I wont play it at all.

All of that points are valid questions to be solved for an implementation. I want to add another one: Which part of the users profit from this?

Most users don’t give a fuck which browser they use as long as it’s working. They cannot comprehend most information you described in your questions and want a simple solution. The other part of users usually knows how to install and select a browser of their choice on a PC. After all it’s not that hard with the current OS choices available anyway.

Probably not, but it strongly depends on the implementation by Amazon, if it has any effect.

Hand out incentives to put solar panels on private owned roofs and private power storage and this reached a few months. Making something the economic decision by adding incentives is far easier to sell than enforcing something by law.

A book in one language yes, but don’t forget translations. Books of famous writers are sometimes released in multiple languages on the same day.

A great series is the german “Tatortreiniger” which translates to something like “crime scene cleaner”. I’d describe it as a small scale theatre like series, each episode playing inside a house or a few rooms, with a few characters. The main character usually has to clean up a crime scene and is confronted with the other residents of the building. It has a special kind of humor, mostly transported by really strange everyday situations.

The products are probably not bad on purpose, but the use of addictive substances or replacing costly (good) with cheap alternatives, is a great way to reduce production costs and to increase sales.

Reduce vegetable components, increase sugar and salt. Fill up with water, adjust viscosity. Similar taste, much cheaper, more addictive and worse for your body.

They said that my account is locked for suspicious behaviour and I was to lazy to unlock it. Guess I wont gwt the extra entries for giveaways anymore, whatever.

I support that point of view, but you also have to compare their performance to human drivers. We often have the expectation that technology have to be perfect (which it isn’t). Since you also have an IT background you know this pretty well probably. But if it’s safer than human drivers it could as well be an improvement.

Additionally the third “Korbball” will be hosted in Germany only and is only accessible to german teams in the NKL, but we still call it the Weltmeisterschaft (World Championship).

Yes, I described that unprecisely. You basically have to calc the difference between a full remote day and an on site day.

Same for me. Time spend getting to work is basically also work time, which is usually not paid.

For a “fun” experiment just calculate how many hours you are on the way to work every year:

daily_travel_minutes * days_on_site / 60

Divide this by 8 to see how many holidays you get by switching to a fully/mostly remote job.

People will do everything that givesthem an advantage in anykind of way. If coal is an affordable resource to fulfill a need it will be mined and put to use.

You may change the view on a thing for a few persons, but never of all of them.

It’s not about the travel
