Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

„Es gibt nur BILD-Schlagzeilen darüber, wie viel uns die Armen kosten. Und ich finde, wir sollten ein Fetisch darüber entwickeln, wie viel uns die Reichen kosten und was sie für einen Schaden anrichten!“

Showing notifications on your eye is the most depressing thing you can do with smartglasses.
We really need to stop normalising companies having direct access to our field of vision whenever they want.

This is from Tim’s sister Anna. Tim’s cancer treatment and knock-on collapse of his business Endlesss have plunged his family into crisis. I’ve started a Gofundme for them gofund.me/15bf38ef. Donations and retweets are hugely appreciated ❤️🙏
Sadly true. Even harder: getting a visa for non-EU employee
"Let's do startups" - Germany edition
But first... some paperwork:
1. Put aside €25,000 for company formation
2. Find a notary to draft articles of incorporation (1-2 weeks)
3. Open bank account (4-6 weeks)
4. Deposit share capital and send to notary
5. Entry into commercial registry
6. Ignore official looking scam letters asking for money
7. Entry into transparency register
8. Register with local trade office
9. Register with tax office
10. Wait for your company's VAT ID
11. You need an official address (don't use your home, can't use PO box), so rent virtual office
12. Buy company insurance
13. Buy accounting software
14. Set up payroll (you have to employ yourself as manager)
15. Pay for on-going accounting costs (€2-3k a year)
16. Prepare monthly, quarterly and yearly taxes
17. Make sure you have a GDPR-compliant privacy policy, and DPAs with all service providers
18. Make sure you have a compliant legal notice on your website and emails, or risk getting a €50,000 fine
19. Make sure your invoices are actually compliant with regulations
20. Don't ever move out of Germany while owning the company, or else go bankrupt due to the exit-tax with no liquidity problem
Now you may invoice your first customer - if you dare ;)
(obviously not legal/tax advice, this is satire)

Eine Gruppe von Expert:innen soll Wege finden, wie Polizeien in Zeiten von Verschlüsselung ermitteln können. Doch wieder einmal hört die EU-Kommission vor allem dem Sicherheitsapparat zu, während sie der Zivilgesellschaft die kalte Schulter zeigt. netzpolitik.org/2023/eu-bera…

Wie viel besitzen #Superreiche in Deutschland? Eine neue von uns geförderte Studie zeigt: Ihre #Vermögen dürften weitaus größer sein als in Forschung und Medien bislang angenommen. Und: Die Besteuerung ist seit 1996 deutlich gesenkt worden.
Details: boeckler.de/de/pressemitteil…
ALT Noch mehr Reichtum in Deutschland: 4300 superreiche Haushalte besitzen ein Vermögen von mindestens 1400 Milliarden Euro statt wie bislang angenommen 900 Milliarden Euro. Das entspricht rund einem Drittel des Bruttoinlandsprodukts.

It would be really cool (but also really complicated) to have the same map with budget instead of time.
I think train prices in Europe are still criminally too high. It should be illegal for a train ticket to be more expensive than a flight.

I am in particular interested in the eye tracking on the vision pro — designing interfaces around looking and active looking, and exploring how looking expresses what we care about and what we are thinking.
