I read the standard in its entirety for work purposes and I fully agree with your description that it's very difficult to describe any of this in a simple way.

It sounds like fascism.

Sodastream was the best choice for the summer we made last year. Very much recommended (with the glas version not plastic)

It’s a classic case of an authoritarian system relying on 20-30% approval to sustain itself coupled with repression of the majority. Bottom line is that negative approval doesn’t matter without organized opposition

This goes into a slide of my AI talk on why I feel zero excitement about the tiny positive use cases.

Ah, that line is single track…in one of the most touristy areas of Austria.
So we get hourly or even 2h interval between trains on parts of the Salzkammergut line.

“Like” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence

It’s a power vacuum of warring factions: less of a rotating circus of personalities

Oh gosh - I spend a significant amount of my time _fostering_ all sorts of different types of communication in a work context. That book is utter nonsense.

Biden was absent in more ways than one.
I recall thinking after the 2020 elections that focusing on some Bill Clintonesque good governance wouldn’t cut it by the Biden admin during this era of the slide towards authoritarianism.
He fundamentally was unable to set the right strategic priorities.

9. Improvements over the years. Given how Apple charges a 30% fee, they would have surely improved IAP, reinvesting in it. Right?

No real improvements for the last 10 years.
It’s the best example of what happens with a monopoly: zero incentive to improve!

This is an incredibly stupid idea by an out of touch billionaire.
One important aspect is that he wants to do this because of AI. There is ample evidence current AI investments constitute a bubble.
Even without AI though, there is a reason why data centers aren’t in remote locations.

Particularly one aspect about bonded warehouses is something that most shipping posts/sources do not talk about. Would be interesting to see how much of container flow goes in that direction
