Depends. If you hold crypto for more than a year in Germany, gains are tax free.

Can I share data with my partner? I’ve been looking for a way to help my partner understand where we at money-wise.

I dunno. There is always this one, little overweight, sweaty guy without a shirt. Makes it a little bit sexual, doesn’t it?

Also the author misses how elements, species and astronomical objects are named. After random places, people, games, fictional characters, etc.

Names are just names. It’s nice if they are kind of unique and have no collisions.

We are talking Germany here. People buy cars in cash. You don’t even have to necessarily wait a day.

Probably „only store that’s in my vicinity“ in rural areas vs. „if that bodega sucks, I go to another“. So one is a necessity which overcharges, the other a convenience which overcharges.

My favourite sticker is a play on „Atomkraft? Nein danke!“ [0] (nuclear power? No thanks!) and says: „Atomzeit? Nein danke!“ (Atomic time? No thanks!)

I recently wanted to introduce someone to our internal recruiters to a person with a long, uniqueish name. The recruiter was like: they did respond with „I’m not interested“. But the person was like: I’ve never got a mail.

Turned out the whatever tool our recruiter used spit out „first.lastname@gmail.com“ even though the person in question doesn’t own that email.

Really depends where you are. Here in Germany you probably would have Nutella rather than peanut butter.

Crazy how simple and efficient these heists are in their execution. All the heist movies are way too complex and clever. It‘s just smash and run.

Compare also this robbery from 2019 in Dresden: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresden_Green_Vault_burglary

US prices are without sales tax, depending on state/location this could add 10%. But given the value of the USD, still a crazy difference.

Totally agree on the DAG point of view, but I would argue that for different people you need different analogies/models to make it click. I would argue that pointing towards graph theory might help people that have a formal CS or maths education, but not necessarily folks that went through bootcamps, switched from design roles, have a biology background (e.g. bioinformatics) or do statistics (e.g. in medicine or psychology)

Animations take too long with the swiping. Having apps on the same virtual desktop all the time.

On a larger screen: Opening a terminal alongside the editor or a browser. Or opening two browser windows when working on two documents.

There is a thing called „routine cards“ for children which is how we handle morning/evening routines. They are colourful cards that you can velcro on in any order. Similar things are available for weekly routines
