Dieses Auto (Foto von der Website) scheint in der Tat dringend einen Retter zu brauchen. Ohne Windschutzscheibe dürfte das ziemlich sicher nicht mehr über den TÜV kommen.

Maybe you just turn into a nasty pillow and the next tenant in your appartment tosses you into the trash.

Isn't nudity treated like a crime in the US? I thought MasterCard, Visa, PayPal etc. ban everything that's even remotely related to naked skin.

Why don't they just drink champagne if their water is dirty?

Danke! Aber dann ist die Metapher "Abspann" aus meiner Sicht ein Griff ins Klo.

Wenn wir mal zugunsten des Autors von einem Film mit nur 90 Minuten inklusive 5 Minuten Abspann ausgehen, dann sind das circa 5% der Gesamtspielzeit.

Wenn wir - um ähnliche Zahlen zu haben - sagen, dass Autos jetzt seit 85 Jahren ein relevantes Transportmittel sind, wäre in 5 Jahren Ende für PKW.

Mir fehlen in dem Artikel so bisschen belastbare zahlen bzw. messbare Effekte. Dass die deutschen Autobauer wahrscheinlich zunehmend Probleme bekommen ist das eine, daraus aber das Ende der Pkw insgesamt abzuleiten, finde ich irgendwie zu weit gegriffen. Ich finde weniger Individualverkehr gut, sehe aber aktuell keinen so starken Trend in diese Richtung, dass man von "Abspann" sprechen könnte.

Are credit card fees really 4-7% in the US? In the EU also Visa and MasterCard are really popular but fees are capped at 0.3%.

Some time ago I tried InvoiceNinja as an invoicing and expense management tool and kind of liked it. It also has some CRM functionalities which I never used myself but maybe it could be a fit for you. It's available as paid SaaS or free self-hosted.

This looks cold and (with that plastic cloth) sweaty at the same time.

I'll for sure dig a bit deeper on the links, but for me it's still very counter intuitive to estimate information density of spoken word just by the count of syllables.

E.g. I can vary the sentence 'I need help' in so many ways. I can mumble it to a close sitting person to imply secrecy, I can say it in a desperate voice to show psychological distress, I can increase the volume to indicate urgency etc. And all that doesn't even consider body language, mimics etc. which are all part of the information flow. And I'd guess that body language varies a lot from country to country.

Ich fände die verschiedenen Funktionen des Ring-Ökosystems eigentlich gar nicht so schlecht muss ich sagen. Ist aber aus meiner Sicht, insbesondere in Innenräumen, datenschutztechnisch nochmal kritischer als die Alexa-Spracherkennung. Wenn solche Funktionen mal offline / self-hosted zur Verfügung stehen, wäre ich durchaus interessiert.

Thanks a lot for these insights, much appreciated!

asking a question isn't actually a separate ("?") character. In speech, asking a question is just a modification of tone

But if modification of tone encodes additional information wouldn't we need to consider that as additional bits?

So if 'You need a taxi.' and 'You need a taxi?' are two different things, I don't think we can just skip punctuation when measuring the bits of information in a sentence.
