Everybody in the place
Traileren til Everybody in the Place tager 1 minut og skal nydes på fuld lydstyrke.
Hvis du får gåsehud, bør du se hele filmen (selvom det kan være lidt svært - BBC er tilsyneladende eneste lovformelige udsalgssted).
Everybody in the Place er et halv-Marxistisk foredrag for nutidens smukke ungdom om dengang far var ung i 90'erne. Med fed musik, fede optagelser fra fortiden og mange interessante pointer.
Anmelderne elskede og spoilede den.

En konstruktiv pragmatiker
" For two centuries, the very important people who managed the affairs of this society could not believe in the importance of ideas—until one day they were shocked to discover that their children, having been captured and shaped by certain ideas, were either rebelling against their authority or seceding from their society. The truth is that ideas are all-important. The massive and seemingly solid institutions of any society—the economic institutions, the political institutions, the religious institutions—are always at the mercy of the ideas in the heads of the people who populate these institutions. The leverage of ideas is so immense that a slight change in the intellectual climate can and will—perhaps slowly but nevertheless inexorably—twist a familiar institution into an unrecognizable shape. "

Bullshit Jobs genbesøgt
"One thing it shows is that the whole “lean and mean” ideal is applied much more to productive workers than to office cubicles. It’s not at all uncommon for the same executives who pride themselves on downsizing and speed-ups on the shop floor, or in delivery and so forth, to use the money saved at least in part to fill their offices with feudal retinues of basically useless flunkies.
They have whole teams of people who are just there, for instance, to design the graphics for their reports, write accolades for in-house magazines no one reads, or in many cases, who aren’t really doing anything at all, just making cat memes all day or playing computer games. But they are kept on because the prestige and even sometimes the salary of any given manager is measured by how many people he has working under him."
Helt fantastisk interview med antropolog

"Tradition og fornyelse"
“Tradition is a set of solutions for which we have forgotten the problems. Throw away the solution and you get the problem back.”

80'er-fremtid var værre end 80'er-musik
Sådan så verden bla. ud i 1980.
Og så kan vi jo sammenligne med nu.

Solenergi i ørkenen
Inderne og kineserne har billige solpaneler og billig arbejdskraft. Emiraterne kan hurtigt få den fornødne mængde strøm ud af solen. Forbes og Clean techninca har historierne.
Til sammenligning bruger vi i Danmark 3 GW en sommermorgen i ferien iflg. Energinet.

Fortæl det til Storebror
"For years Porsche lacked Android Auto, but recently it has become available. It seems the reason was that Porsche objected to the Google’s licensing terms. Google required Android Auto continually send data back to the mothership, including “a total OBD2 dump” of location, speed, throttle position, engine revs, and more. By comparison, Apple CarPlay sends back whether the car is moving while CarPlay is in use. Its not clear what compromise was reached between Porsche and Alphabet, but as a Porsche owner this make be uncomfortable."

Undskyldninger opmuntrer bare hoben
"... Overall, the evidence suggests that when a prominent figure apologizes for a controversial statement, the public is either unaffected or becomes more likely to desire that the individual be punished."
