Thanks for the link! This is so great so actually see how the line camera and this line screen work together to create an ad in the finish line photo.

First I was wondering why there are ad banners visible in the image. With a line scan camera the background which is standing still should actually only have horizontal stripes.

But since the company Omega produced this photo it actually makes sense to artificially add their logo next to the Olympic rings.

Oversharing at the family dinner is something I didn't encounter yet. In contrast having a mobile phone always available oftentimes leads to no conversation at all.

My wife and me are very strict with not touching our phone at during meals with our kids. But the grandparents are the total opposite. They use their phones during meals all the time, killing most conversations with their absence.

I think that the coming generation will be even more mindful in their usage of a phone during real life conversations. At least I hope so.

The guy in the story basically survived 6 days without water and traveled up to 160 miles during that time. It's almost unbelievable. I thought that once you loose 4-6 kg of water due to sweat the body does not function any more due to the changed concentration of minerals in the cells.

I enjoy writing. It's the work I like most. The best moment is finishing a piece. The most regular piece I write is a monthly retrospective. I write about topics that I encountered at work. Mostly in a personal style also reflecting on my thoughts about different topics. To keep me accountable I sent this retrospective to a few colleagues each month at the last day of the month.

I like how the name quest emphasizes the process, not the initially desired outcome. When you go on a quest you gain experience and have encounters that might even change your initially desired outcome. Instead of trying to reach an outcome you enjoy an adventure and change the human you are.

A quest is a journey where the final destination is not clear in the beginning. But if you are successful, you will be a better version of yourself on the other side of the journey.

Your answer resonates with me a lot. Disclosure: I'm not a founder, I'm still employed.

A very important insight for achieving my peace of mind was to have multiple sources for a feeling of accomplishment. Peace of mind is the state where I'm feeling fine and not lonely or bad. My sources are: Family and friends, physical activity and work. If one of the sources temporarily is running dry, I still have two other ones to rely on.

My sources are very parallel to the activities you picked up in order to counter your loneliness.

Considering the lifetime emissions of a product makes an interesting point. Seeing that an electric cargo bike only has more than 10x the emissions per kilometer than a steel bike was unexpected for me.

It's easy to forget how expensive the manufacturing of the electric engine and the battery is.

Since she made her method public I wonder if this will still work now. But apart from that it is a simple solution for a tricky problem.

My schedule in the past years was not linked to daylight at all. But that changed recently. I have a new window where the first sunlight in the morning now enters the room.

Since I have that window I'm very aware of the time the sun rises every day and how that time shifts a few minutes every day. At least in the location where I life. (South of Germany)

These pictures are a flashback to my youth. Back in the time the limiting factor of how many friends could join the LAN Party where the switches. I remember the time a friend of mine bought a 12 port switch. That opened up a whole new level of gaming. With 12 friends now being cramed in a room.

An of course. Every LAN Party went on for the whole night.

The problem with too many layers of management is mainly that they stop doing what they should do. Making decisions.

The lowest management layer cannot make any decisions alone, otherwise the next layer would have no reason to exist. The next layer might even have to hand over the decision to one layer above. Up there no one really understands the decision that needs to be made because they are too far away from the actual impact. The result is that the decision is not made at all. Instead they procrastinate by asking for more details about the decision and the options.

If you have only one layer you get a decision very fast.

This is the first time I saw book in the form of a webpage. I really like it. Problem is that my children are don't speak English yet. I wonder if those storybooks also exist in other languages.

Now I know why the cursor from the old asteroids game looks like the position indicator in my car navigation. Great fun fact!

The Atari Team which created the game was located next to the company that built the first navigation device.

During the last centuries there was a technological shift in cargo ship drives roughly every 100 years. From sailing to steam boat over combustion engines to these drives?
