Never for money, always for love.

One of many of my favorite scenes in the movie: first the tumbling inline skater, then the live performance with the 6Ts living room moving over everyone’s (talking, hehe) head.

Du kannst nicht immer 17 sein…

Pandemiepolitik: Die deutsche Rentokratie, jetzt auch mit Corona-Topping.

Das bundesrepublikanische System ist eben bis in die Details von einer latenten Geringschätzung des Neuen und des Jungen durchdrungen. Fast alle Dinge werden durch eine Brille der Altersbevorzugung und Jugendbenachteiligung betrachtet. Das steht – leider – sogar im Grundgesetz, und zwar in Form der sogenannten Schuldenbremse, deren Sonderform im Alltag oft schwarze Null genannt wird.

Three Crises and One Waiver.

In general, it is not easy to see why a pharmaceutical company would need a monopoly as an additional incentive to enter into such a risk-free deal. It is even more difficult to understand why this exclusivity should also extend to countries which are too poor for doing any business in the first place. What remains is, once again, ideology: waiving patent protection would have all sorts of disruptive effects and do all sorts of damage to the credibility of the system! Which is probably true, but it’s not entirely self-evident that a bit of disruption would necessarily be a bad thing, is it?

The lazy-loading property pattern in JavaScript (via javascriptweekly.com).

const object = {
    get data() {
        const actualData = someExpensiveComputation();

        Object.defineProperty(this, "data", {
            value: actualData,
            writable: false,
            configurable: false,
            enumerable: false
        });

        return actualData;
    }
};

A French resistance fighter reluctantly revisits her past in this Oscar-winning portrait.

In this short documentary, (Colette; ed.) Marin-Catherine faces her trauma with the support of a history student named Lucie Fouble – only 17 years old herself. For the first time in her life, and with Fouble ever by her side, Marin-Catherine travels from France to Germany to visit the camp where some 20,000 Nazi prisoners including her brother died.

Great movie, too btw.

Mathematics for gamblers.

All probability theory is grounded in the concept of infinity, yet all our gaming experiences are finite.

Shameful.

Women who write about their pain suffer a double shaming: once for getting injured, twice for their act of self-exposure
