There are (at least) two opposed approaches to databases: pure storage vs all-powerful. (my terms), but I rarely see articles comparing the relative benefits and use cases. Does someone have a counter-example?

Simone Giertz invented a whole new type of coat hanger and it might be amazing for small space closets/wardrobes. Also kickstarter to get them produced

Public transport isn't supposed to make money. It's not even supposed to break even. It's supposed to lose money and to be financed and extended from general taxes because it gives back way more than mere money.

And all the politicians know this because they keep building and maintaining streets for free

I've started seeing "FLINTA" being used in English and I'm confused. Is it a German import? Does it mean something different? Can't seem to find anything definitive.

(I mostly see it in an explicitly queer context, so a direct import seems most likely)

Been thinking about that "the sun is white" situation from last week. and regardless of physical explanations, I've come to the conclusion that the statement is meaningless.

The colour of the sun is not white.

White is the colour of the sun.

Let me unexplain.

There must be worse ways to deal with a boycott than the RVT did, but I can't think of any.

So your community tells you that they're not keen on ESC this year and they get busy and organise alternative events to fill your venue instead, so you don't lose any money. You accept and new events are announced (the organisers even agreeing not to mention the boycott as you want to stay out of politics).

I'm getting adverts for car-attachable water tanks. Even with the current end-of-world vibe that's a bit much

as I just had religious people on my front door: Does anyone have data on how 'successful' door-to-door missionaries and/or street preachers are?

Do we have a law to make train automated train announcements artificially bad, or is the NordWestBahn doing this voluntarily?

With all the Deutsche Bahn problems these days, how likely is it for me to get from Bremen to Hamburg on Day 0 without major incidents?

I got a spare #37C3 ticket, is there any remaining demand in my bubble?

My new Samsung phone is now asking me to switch to Google messages (instead of its own product).

So if I do that, does that mean Google with shut down the app in six months and will people be mad at me?

I like the mantras of @notjustbikes in the new video:

"Cities aren't loud, cars are loud" and
"traffic lights are for cars, and without cars, you don't need traffic lights"

Is anyone here familiar with how GPS positioning works on Android phones? Is there some inertial guidance for when the GPS signal isn't good enough or while moving?
