“Die Philippinen bilden gezielt sehr viele Pflegekräfte aus, die dann im Ausland arbeiten sollen. Doch in die Bundesrepublik wollen nur wenige, ihr Ruf ist inzwischen schwer beschädigt.”
Der Bundeskanzler und seine SPD können sich zunehmend für den “Deutschlandpakt” begeistern. Sie könnten mit Grünen und FDP brechen und mit der Union koalieren. Auch CDU und CSU können dem Szenario immer mehr abgewinnen. Eine Vorentscheidung könnte bereits in zwei Wochen fallen.
I was using the N900 when it came out and at that point Android was in no way superior to whatever Nokia was doing. Their main misstep was choosing Windows Phone and shipping the N9 as a dead-on-arrival product. Nonetheless the UX was pretty ahead of its time and we could have had a real Qt based Linux phone OS

I feel like most things degrade as a matter of scope-creep, while trying to implement features that are actually complex and non-trivial.
Take the unholy mess of modern Microsoft Office. MS Office might have been a good tool for a single purpose back in the 80s, but the addition of multiple generation/layers of features that have been halfway abandoned but kept for compatibilitys sake, make any more complex task non-trivial. There are multiple approaches for implementing templating MS Word, none of which are really good. MS Macros have been great… if you are trying to get arbitrary code execution on Windows machines. And collaboretive editing features include halfway abandoned sharing features and a half-baked Web Version of Office 365.
As a matter of fact I don’t believe this is purely out of corporate greed, but rather a lack of scope limitation during design. People don’t ask if they should, if they simply can do. We shouldn’t have macros inside of Text Documents, there should be another tool for that. We shouldn’t have SQL queries pulling into Excel Worksheets. We shouldn’t use Excel as a database, but people had to change names of biological genes to avoid these being autoformatted in Excel.
But as a matter of fact, in general one is limited to working with the tools one knows, so convincing someone to use the correct tool for a job will always be harder than just delivering additional features, that we know will make the overall product worse.

All the religious groups that emigrated to the US? This take has so many issues, but pilgrims, quakers and mormons are probably somewhere on the cult spectrum
Es braucht eine neue linke Partei, warum können wir nicht eine sozialistische Partei ohne seltsames Anbiedern an autoritäre Regimes der Gegenwart und Vergangenheit haben?
Korrigiert mich, aber gab es zu Zeiten der weimarer Republik nicht sowohl signifikante rechts- und linksradikale Gruppierungen. Die Nazis kamen am auch mithilfe einer antikommunisitischen Platform an die Macht uns schürten noch stärkere Angst vor Linksradikalen. Aus dieser Perspektive ist doch das wichtigste Radikalisierung der Politik in beide Richtungen so weit wie möglich zu reduzieren oder?
Specifically, do you worry that Microsoft is going to eventually do the Microsoft thing and horribly fuck it up for everyone?

I think people should in general put as little trust as possible in corporations. Ensuring your tools, language and platform are as free as possible is a good idea.
Just look at the problematic situation for VS Code extensions by Microsoft, which are non-free.
Commonly they dont recommend embryotoxic medication in woman of childbearing age, as unecpected pregnancies happen and the chance for severe birth defects increase. Sometimes these can only be detected late into a pregnancy, so if the person might want to keep a pregnancy it would be not to take it.
