One of my favorite finds through Wiby is: https://thelocalyarn.com/excursus/test/index.html which I found through this article specifically: https://thelocalyarn.com/excursus/test/articles/future-proof...


It's worth noting that the article starts with the mention of Kjell Inge Røkke leaving for Switzerland, a country in which there is wealth tax. The only reason Røkke might still be interested is that as a foreigner he is able to "cut a deal" with the Government [1].

For non-UHNWI, you can have a wealth tax of 0.6% (this varies between cantons, and I'm already taking into account here cantonal and communal wealth tax).

I haven't done it myself but you can buy replacement batteries online for the Kindle Voyage; last time I checked they were like $30 and replacing it looks easy enough.


I hope this car never makes it into Europe in current form.


Tesla have made statements saying that it won't. As a layman, I don't think the flat front is possible.


Sharp edges are also not allowed in most European countries.


While I "jailwalk" pretty much all the time (in Europe), nighttime is when I am the most reluctant to do so. Poor visibility and higher chance of meeting a drunk driver.

Coincidentally Bloomberg's bold design was ushered under Joshua Topolsky, one of The Verge's founders. He then went on to found The Outline, which arguably had an even bolder design. In many ways, The Outline's premise was the same as the new The Verge. I'm curious to see if The Outline was just to early, or whether the premise is just flawed.


Now he runs Input Magazine[1], which also has a lysergic aesthetics.

Discord as well. For instance the Scala community moved from gitter to discord. I couldn’t disagree more with that decision.


Do you have any good articles on what would make Kotlin better than Scala? I work only in Scala and have never touched Kotlin.


Not really. I likewise don't use a lot of Scala. Probably better to think in terms of how the languages are different rather than better.

Here's a good overview of differences:

What would be the added value of that app compared to already existing options? Where I live (Switzerland) there are already several nation-wide websites where you can publish ads for things you want to sell or give away. And it is absolutely free. Furthermore, as already mentioned in the thread, many charities can clean up a home if needed.
