This. I'd also add "How would you like to be called" as sometimes people go by their second given name, not the first given name. For example, you might have a common first name li…

The nuanced version I've heard in other tech industries (bio/agri-tech) is this: a) Europe organisations and gov't does all the deep research; b) US private companies turns it into…

Every gov't and major international organisation I have worked with is on the Microsoft 365 platform. They all use teams, some even prohibit the use of Google Meets or Zoom

EU and other countries like Indonesia have laws that do exactly this. Light touch regulation really. Airlines can plan as they wish, but if you leave passengers stranded (or massiv…

Stylings and interior obviously differ, but R8 has long shared engines, drive trains, and chasis with Lambos. Engine is from Lambo, but I believe the drive train might be Audi-firs…

I have a new one (a few years old) and yes there's a compartment for salt. My previous one did as well. I'm in Europe (Spain) if that helps. I don't go to any special store to buy …

Not ancient, but I come from indigenous folks that live Southeast Asia. Because we're from up high in the mountains, the traditional way of living is supposed to go back quite far …

No. From the first paragraph of the article: “USING carrots to create concrete, turning wood into plastic, or even compressing it into a “super wood” that is as light and strong as…

I've got a toddler and already work 4 days week (Friday off). Daycare is 5 days a week, so it's great to have Fridays free to work on my side projects, read, go on small hikes - an…

I am a foresight practitioner (otherwise known as a 'futurist') in the policy making space. I am a member of two organizations that focus on applying foresight in policy making spa…

"Nuclear has been mostly replaced with renewables, while fossil fuel generation has been in slow decline as well." That's another way of saying, the German Gov't have decided to sh…

I had a number of Sony digital music players like the NM-MS10: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NW-MS10.jpg Their main drawbacks you're required to convert all the MP3 into Atrac…

Perhaps Europe is better at gender (due to strong social policies), but Europe is't immune to racism. It's not talked about so loudly like in the US, but I've experienced so much l…

I work with two small non-tech consultancies. For one, some of us are doing this (informally) with support from management. In emails signature, zoom calls, mural/miro screennames …

Hey OP: Thank you for this. Management Operations is such a neglected field. I've just subscribed. I'm my consultancy's ops person (we're +20 people), so its nice to see these topi…
