You'd have to be lucky though. Unless you are/were an angel (volunteer) you'll have to depend on the ticket lottery. The switch to Hamburg wasn't enough to accommodate the number of participants nor did the switch to Leipzig. It really is a very popular event.
They are slowly scaling the event up. Hamburg were 15k people. Last year was 18k. But they are careful to scale it slowly so that things dont collapse.
There where 3 dates for buying a ticket. For me it was no problem as the webpage for buying did not have the usual problems like being down when sale started. You have to be there in time though
Do the worlds proceeds have to go through the US publisher (Metropolitan Books) or can the proceeds of books sold here in Europe go to Snowden? For example letting a European publisher sell the book in Europe.
WeWork is a huge success...for its founders. Neumann reportedly sold over 700 million worth of shares ahead of the IPO.
For some reason every startup nowadays is the next Amazon or Facebook. Poised to become the market leader in their field of expertise.
Most of the IPOs are losing big money yearly but the market is happy to support them with billions of dollars. Actions that would make Warren Buffet cringe but could make money if you're lucky.
This invites startups to take advantage of the situation. To me this is one of the dark sides of our society because the ones at the bottom of the pyramid losing their money are you and me saving for our pensions.
Indeed. For all the platitudes otherwise, the vast majority of startup founders do this primarily because they want to become rich. Judging a startup by any other metric is at the end of the day at least somewhat disingenuous.
If all you know about two startups is that in startup 1 the founder exited the company with $10 million in his bank account and in startup 2 the founder exited with $750 million in his bank account, which would judge the bigger success?
Personally I like the insect idea, just processed so that they don't look like insects. Sorry, save that for a next, more open minded generation.
I don't get the meat lookalikes. Is a plate of food without a piece of meat so abhorrent?
There's a lot of cultural inertia behind meat and it's incredibly difficult to get people to change their diet that drastically (they can't eat their favorite foods, they need to learn entirely new recipes) it's much much easier to just work with them and make good substitutes.
I just went vegan and without it being a strong personal conviction I wouldn't have been able to do it.
No, but you can either spend a ton of effort trying to convince meat eaters that "this other thing is also delicious", but they'll just ignore it. Instead, just replace their burgers/nuggets with something else that also looks like burgers/nuggets yet pretty much tastes the same, and you don't need to convince them.
The dutch numbers are from 2009, although somehow they claim to be from 2013.
Some numbers (from other countries) are from 2019 so what they are comparing are the number in 2009 in one country to the number of another country in 2019.
The list is alright but don't put rankings in front of it as it's apples and oranges.
The list as is seems to be of low value, beyond stating what most people would have likely already assumed to be true.
There are 74 countries on the list and only three have very unusually low figures: Cuba, North Korea, Ethiopia. The first two are obvious, the last one has probably changed a lot since ~2013.
After that you spike up to Lebanon at 64 phones per 100 people, with data from 2010. So that's probably 90+ now.
The extreme majority of all adults globally now have a mobile phone, even if it's a $20 KaiOS phone.
They need you to install their app so they have better control over your device without those pesky browsers with their plugins blocking adds or privacy infringements.
I am not a mobile developer nor am I a web developer but can't Huawei base their apps on web apps?
That would mean they could port any web app from IOS or android to Harmony OS as long as there are no native bindings as react native has.
Eventually they can incorporate webassembly when that really gets of the ground.
Somehow it is easier to be ignorant and believe something happens to you you can't do anything about. There's no problem in that, everyone has a right to live his/her way as long as it doesn't disturb other peoples right to do so.
The problem are the troublemakers that set themselves at the head of those sects and mess things up for those who happen to choose a different mindset.
The big companies are collecting and selling our personal data but since we care more about sharing photographs of our lunch, dog and/or holiday we click away all Terms of Services.
Not until congress is void of financial incentives can the US expect a somewhat decent political solution like Europe tries to do.
In the meantime try not to act like part of the herd and don't post anything that makes you their product.
