Der Kulturdachgarten am Stachus gefällt mir. Die Preise für die Speisen sind etwas hoch, finde ich, aber der Rest passt. Kann man hingehen!

Springtime! Bees! Sun!
AWWWW YEAH SON, SHIT’S ABOUT TO GET REAL
Korrekt.

Mal wieder im Regen auf der Straße gewesen, für das freie Internet in Europa und gegen die antidemokratische Kackscheisse der #CSU im Europaparlament. “Oh, der Wähler hat eine Meinung und will am 23.03. auf die Straße gehen? Lasst uns doch vielleicht die Abstimmung vorziehen” Ich bin durchaus aufgebracht. #SaveTheInternet #München #munich

I really can’t stress this enough
So alike, yet so different, and glass walls keep them apart. On the plate they both fight for your taste buds, and … Turns out metaphors are hard

Ich habe einen neuen #Newsletter. Er heisst “5 Feine Verweise”, und jede der unregelmäßig erscheinenden Ausgaben enthält genau das. 5feineverweise.substack.com
Irgendwas muss ich mit den ganzen tollen Links, die ich dauernd finde, ja anstellen.
Warum ein Newsletter? Newsletter gabs schon immer. Newsletter rocken nach wie vor. Newsletter sind das Bauhaus unter den Nachrichten: etwas spröde, irgendwie zeitlos, und — wenn gekonnt appliziert — solide und beständig AF. 🤔
Gesehen im Rathaus München. Ich musste lachen.
Crazy in love right now. Elite: Dangerous is Insane (yes, with a capital I).
Ab heute gibt’s Zettel, liebe Münchner SUV-Fahrer.
5 years ago, today.
It was a very good year
Xmas break, i.e. finally there’s time for that cold. Thanks for holding up during the last two weeks of crunch, body
Prepping for either a friendly bout of American Football or our Xmas party. THUG AND/OR OFFICE LIFE
So that was my year, music-wise. My @petteralexis streak continues — his “Petter 9818” and “Dö sen” were damn solid. ♪
Both exciting and depressing AF. But to be honest, these days that rings true for many a topic, doesn’t it?
One day, gene therapy may help with the rarest of diseases. Some parents aren’t waiting. […]
I asked [neurologist Christopher Janson] if he thought it was fair that the Landsmans’ kids could end up getting treated while some other family without a surprise GoFundMe success would not be. “Unfortunately, there are a lot of things in society that are not fair,” he said. “There are parents who want to see me in my neurology clinic and can’t because they don’t have insurance. We have a problem in society.”
Yes, we absolutely do. It’s not as prevalent here in Germany as it is in the US, but still.
Ganz heisser Tipp für alle deutschen Startups und Gründer:
Hände weg von Fastbill.
Meine Firma wartet seit ungefähr einem Jahr darauf, dass Fastbill einen Mechanismus implementiert, der die doppelte, dreifache oder teils auch vierfache (!!) Vergabe der gleichen Rechnungsnummer verhindert. Der derzeit noch aktuelle Workaround-Vorschlag von Fastbill ist “sprecht unsere API halt nicht so schnell an”. (Fürs Protokoll, wir reden hier über ca. 5 API-Calls in 10 sek.)
👎🏻
In Exponential View #187 reader Andrew Edgecliffe Johnson suggests “Nowstalgia” as term describing the feeling that…
[…] things—the institutions, the business models, the media mix—are just right as they are, better than they were before and better than they will be in the future.
That is a great word. So far I’ve only came across the somewhat common “everything’s going downhill from here” but “nowstalgia” is so much funnier (even though it is less self-explanatory).
Being a dead actor/singer doesn’t mean anymore you have to stop working:
Some actors and movie studios are buckling down and preparing for an inevitable future when using scanning technology to preserve 3-D digital replicas of performers is routine. Just because your star is inconveniently dead doesn’t mean your generation-spanning blockbuster franchise can’t continue to rake in the dough. Get the tech right and you can cash in on superstars and iconic characters forever.
I’ll be honest: I’ve no idea how to feel about this. I can see the reasoning behind scanning and preserving actors for legitimate purposes1 but I won’t be surprised when (not if) some of those scans are leaked to seedy underground porn producers. If you think Rule 34 is bad now, you just wait.
For the sake of the argument, let’s assume that, for example, creating a new hologram tour of late singer Amy Winehouse (done by her management) is a legitimate purpose. ↩︎
Within decades, neurotechnology could cause social disruption on a scale that would make smartphones and the internet look like gentle ripples on the pond of history.
Most unsettling, neurotechnology confounds age-old answers to this question: What is a human being?
A lengthy read giving a short history of DARPA with a focus on their (published) neurotechnology research and its challenges. While I don’t think the agency’s goals are quite as benign as it makes them out to be, I find the entire field utterly fascinating and am well in favor of what they are trying to accomplish.
My revamped blog is now live at this here new domain, czm.io.
Moved to a shorter domain, switched to a Hugo + Gitlab + Forestry + Netlify setup. It’s still a static site, it’s still super-fast, it’s still devoid of any tracking and analytics. (I just don’t care about those numbers.)
The heart of the site is a Gitlab repo. Netlify runs Hugo & serves the site every time changes are pushed to the repo. Forestry (CMS) is committing to the repo. Convenient AF.
This warrants a longer post …later. Until then, a few quick take-aways:
Interesting article in the The Atlantic about subdermal microchips, discussing a few health-focussed implants and related research.
I got myself chipped a few years back because my phone didn’t have a fingerprint reader but NFC capabilities. I used the chip in my hand to unlock the phone all the time for a year or so.
These days, my RFID tag carries some emergency data but nothing else (name, birthdate, blood type, city of residence). I wish it could do more, tho.
