I would say the ads on that website add to the low quality feeling. a full screen add titled "people that live longer sleep differently than ordinary people" with a skeleton sleeping. looks super fishy and gives the impression of a content farm

I find it a bit insensitive to tell 'what he has to do' while not being in his situation. I do believe that you believe this and this comes from a good place but I can imagine that this can be quite a sting if he tried everything and then has to read this

I think English definitely has it's influence but I think another big factor is the general idea that this hierarchic thinking just gets outdated and younger Germans strive to have a sense of equality.

I am right now in Sri Lanka and couldn't connect to a WiFi that I connected to after I still was on airplane mode. After reading that support thread I could reproduce this issue. It really seems that WiFi networks are not discoverable in Sri Lanka when your device 'recognises' via connecting to the carrier that it is in Sri Lanka

These short (~8min) documentaries are of outstanding quality. They cover various topics, from science, philosophy to some thought provoking topics while always maintaining a neutral stance and making sure that all the sources are stated so that the viewer can validate the statements and form his own opinion. This channel is marvelous.

New comment by boernard in "Many white students lied about their race to improve chances of admission"

boernard — Wed, 27 Oct 2021 12:31:24 +0000

If you follow American media then you will realise that there is a strong trend towards fighting systemic racism and fighting systemic discrimination of LGBTQ. As a German it is unbelievable to watch to what extent they are doing this. It seems it got to an extent where there is a forced ideology where anybody remotely identifying as somewhat liberal feels forced to follow. From what I can see on the internet, any discussion about these topics is almost immediately hijacked by ideological views and thus an objective discussion prevented.

I doubt that Mozilla needs this page to be ranked high, it's more of a press release and not a landing page that should come up high in search results when you search for Firefox...

Incedibly nice writeup! I really like how the drawings help to better understand the concepts. A lot of time must have gone into crafting this article.

boernard — Mon, 21 Oct 2019 08:12:12 +0000

can recommend, it makes it so easy to start knowledge sharing. you'll have to implement some rules after a while, otherwise it becomes victim of its ease of creating new content
