Toller Artikel zu einem Thema, mit dem ich mich nie auseinandergesetzt habe. Dafür bin ich hier, danke!

TL;DR: Die ersten 37% ablehnen, um den Durchschnitt/eine vernünftigerweise zu erwartende Topqualität abschätzen zu können, und danach die erste Bewerberin nehmen, die besser geeignet als alle vorherigen ist.

Sound great! Being gently touched in the face always feels wonderful, I think, no matter whether in a romantic or a non-romantic setting like yours. Scratches the itch for intimacy with another being.

I played my first official league game of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and it was a great experience. Not professional gaming or anything, just hobby gaming in the lowest league. But I always wanted to do that and finally found a group of nice people to do it with.

China has risen way less in terms of GDP per capita, even using power purchasing parity estimates. Japan is at 52k $, China only at 23k (Wikipedia).

I cannot ultimately judge this but the common wisdom about the Chinese social contract seems to be that the citizens get comparatively high economic security for comparatively low civil liberties. And while China’s pro-poor growth has certainly been more than impressive historically, I am not sure that the comparatively still low incomes especially in the inner parts of China are sufficient to maintain this social contract if growth does really slow down significantly.

Edit: I agree in general though that the state of Japan is probably not be as bad as it is made out to be in the article.

Thanks for the tips and ideas! I agree on a lot of the stuff that I’ve tried already. Maybe three (and a half) things to add:

  • Theanine helps me fall asleep when I had to work up until bed time. Take ~200mg, brush teeth, do some bed time routine and I can generally let go of the stress very well after like 20-30 minutes.
  • Slow box breathing helps a lot with calming down as well.
  • Maybe obvious, but: Doing a cold bath right before bed time is not the way to go. I need about 2 hours of activity after or falling asleep is very tough.
  • You kind of already mentioned it, but there’s nothing better when I am sick than sleeping throughout the day without an alarm. Getting like 15+ hours of sleep has helped me through a lot of light diseases lately.

Danke, genau das. Das selbst bewohnte Eigenheim ist schon längst steuerfrei und darüber hinaus gelten großzügige Freibeträge. Die Probleme bei der Erbschaftsteuer liegen vor allem ganz oben. Erbschaften und Schenkungen über 20 Millionen Euro werden durchschnittlich mit dem geringsten Satz aller Erwerbe besteuert, also auch geringer als die nicht selbst-bewohnten Eigenheime über der Freibetragsschwelle. Das scheint mir ein kleines bisschen problematischer zu sein…

Hier der Link zum Bericht des EU Tax Observatory, der im Artikel besprochen wird: https://www.taxobservatory.eu/publication/global-tax-evasion-report-2024/

Und ganz am Rande: Ich merke, dass es mir so langsam auf den Keks geht, dass man im Oktober 2023 seinen Bericht schon als 2024er-bericht titulieren muss, um langfristig Relevanz zu suggerieren. Meine NGO macht diese Dinge aus denselben Gründen und mir fällt auch keine Lösung ein, aber was Hartmut Rosa wohl dazu sagen würde…

The other TL;DR is that Timur Gareyev has been accused by two women of sexual misconduct as well – also largely without proper consequences and transparency by US Chess.

My solution to this problem (which is only tangentially related to your technical question) is to block everything and really make an effort to donate to all developers of my open source programs, content creators, website hosters etc. in the services themselves or on platforms like Liberapay/Patreon.

Sorry that I cannot help with the technical stuff but maybe an idea if you don’t manage it your way.
