But can we still trust them?

I am not well versed in how their systemwide certificate issuance works: If they have to add this to their terms to comply with their government, could the same government use pressure to leverage let’s encrypt to do harm.

Once you have the job, it’s hard to fire you. So it’s a reoccurring pattern that people apply, work for the minimum needed time to get paid parental leave and then start to implement their family plans.

That is completely within their legal rights and for society as a whole it’s a good thing to have more kids.

At the same time it’s also bad for everyone else in the same team.

50% of this have to be paid back, free of interest and capped at 10k€. That is not much, but keep in mind that we earn much less than Americans and have much higher taxes.

So two kids during university would mean even the measly amount you have to pay back for an European subsided degree would be gone.

I do hope that will be put into effect.

I also believe that this will be better for gender equality than all the other measures taken so far.

I was in too many meetings, where the CV of a young woman was critically evaluated for her propensity to get pregnant as soon as the probationary period was over.

Portuguese might not mind tourists that spend money in the country, but I know they do not like rich foreigners living there, driving up prices for housing and everything else.

People should consider migrating to other countries than Italy, Spain and Portugal:

Poland, Hungary and Romania are great places to live.

South Germany and Austria are also great and a bit easier to get by when only using English or consider Croatia if you are up for a bit more adventure.

Tiny disturbances cascade and you get large fluctuations.

I have the standing hypothesis that there is a second order phase transition between free flowing trains and total collapse where the control parameter is the train density.

I just cannot identify the correct order parameter.

Germany had “D” Austria “A” Switzerland “CH”

In DACH you often need both to get public contracts.

I also noticed that costumers are weary of American cloud solutions and SaaS solutions.

Most are aware that they already are one White-House-decision away from being non operational and do not want to make things worse.

A single catastrophic event that causes a temporal rise of several meters can permanently alter the coastline and storms are worsening.

Germany has “Baumkataster” which are databases for public trees in cities, they save all kind of tree metadata but gender is missing …

We prefer male trees in cities since they do not produce fruit that drop on the streets. The result is a much higher pollen load.

The situation is drastically different for problems that require interaction was the physical world to determine success.

As soon as you add a powerful simulator for physical problems to the self learning experience of the AI, you are extremely hampered by the large amount of needed computation.

“Leaders from various religious groups met last week with representatives from companies including Anthropic and OpenAI for the inaugural “Faith-AI Covenant” roundtable in New York to discuss how best to infuse morality and ethics into the fast-developing technology.”

„Poland is the largest beneficiary of EU funds 2014-2020, with one in four euro going to Poland“

Update: The comments below this are strange.

I ment: „Poland gets money, Poland transforms it into more money”.

Is Poland more efficient in it than other countries? I do not know. Would Poland have generated less money without it ? Probably? Is an annual investment of the 2-3%of the GDP into a country a lot? I think so?

Cashflow constraints are a good predictor for problematic behaviour.

Example: Being poor is not the reason for drug addiction, but drug addiction will make you poor in the long run.

The one good thing about this is: As low liquidity is often used as a classifier to gate access, a single kickstart payment can sometimes do wonders.

A security deposit for a flat and money for a Costco card can change lives.
