Interaktive Karten werden oft bei kommerziellen Anbietern außerhalb der EU eingekauft. Das bringt Abhängigkeit, Rechtsunsicherheit und kann mehrere 10'000 € im Monat kosten.

Does anyone have favorite references on the interdisciplinarity penalty (people doing interdisciplinary work are underrewarded in their appointing departments, run centers and degrees without resources or dedicated hires, go to double committee meetings, etc.)?

Danger Dan wurde vom ZDF ausgeladen, weil es keine "angemessen kritische Einordnung und Distanzierung von den problematischen Inhalten in der Sendung und in angemessener Länge" gäbe, trotz 7 Minuten dafür. Beim Sommerinterview mit Rechtsextremistin Weidel gibt es immer noch keine Live-Faktenchecks
Schimpfwörter, die ich beim Fußballschauen in Argentinien gelernt habe: Hijo de un camión lleno de mierda = Sohn eines LKWs voller Scheiße No me rompas las pelotas = Zerbrich mir nicht die Hoden! Vive en nube de pedos = Er lebt in einer Wolke aus Fürzen!

The FIFA VAR interesting as window into how algorithmic governance can operate in practice outside of the China context: highly-surveillant and high-tech (ball sensor, graphs, etc.) accompanied by a form of transparency (replays, etc.) without accountability and still essentially a blackbox.

Diese Merz-Regierung hat so einen krassen Vibe von autoritärer Erziehung, wo Kindern gedroht wird, damit sie für die Klassenarbeit lernen, statt sie zu unterstützen.
Wenn der hohe Krankenstand ein »Wettbewerbsnachteil« ist, dann wäre der erste logische Schritt, Menschen gesundheitlich zu stärken: Über bessere Arbeitsbedingungen, Entlastungen bei Care, genug ZEIT für Erholung, Bewegung, soziale Kontakte, genug Geld für gesundes Essen, saubere Luft, Hitzeschutz.
