You wont agree with every writer, but every article is at least thought provoking.

Just wanted to say that your contributions to HN were missed the last few weeks. Please, start a blog or something. I mean you don't have to...but, yeah. Thanks.
Thanks for this, though you must be referring to someone else! I post infrequently and rarely compose full comments here on HN!
The key differentiator in this digital magazine is that it offers science stories as told by scientists. And that's quite rare in a clickbait-y world.
I do not know any magazine worth reading in german. I'm getting Sueddeutsche Magazin but most of it is just boring. Decades ago I enjoyed Spex, some writers are still around (Diederich Diedrichsen, Dietmar Dath). Telepolis from Heise Verlag is somewhat boring but not so bad: https://www.telepolis.de/ Do I miss anything?
They have interviews in german and in (some sort of) english.
Unfortunately, that is the only important one you missed.

At least it does not fuck up a whole planet when it fails - in contrary to capitalism.

> It was one of the fastest decimations of an animal population in world history—and it had happened almost entirely in secret. The Soviet Union was a party to the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, a 1946 treaty that limited countries to a set quota of whales each year. By the time a ban on commercial whaling went into effect, in 1986, the Soviets had reported killing a total of 2,710 humpback whales in the Southern Hemisphere. In fact, the country’s fleets had killed nearly 18 times that many, along with thousands of unreported whales of other species.
> The Soviet whale slaughter followed no such logic. Unlike Norway and Japan, the other major whaling nations of the era, the Soviet Union had little real demand for whale products. Once the blubber was cut away for conversion into oil, the rest of the animal, as often as not, was left in the sea to rot or was thrown into a furnace.
