Note to self für den nächsten Wohnmobil-Urlaub:
Ein deutsches Start-up.
I finally did what I had planned for a long time, look for a way to securely exchange email. For business email at least, S/MIME is preferred.
I just got a free certificate from Actalis. No problems installing it on Thunderbird. Let’s see how it goes.
It’s valid for a year, which is great for a free S/MIME certificate.
Classical liberals conceded that your freedom to swing your fist stops where my nose begins. Today’s progressives argue that your freedom to express your opinions stops where my feelings begin.
From the Economist
Die Gewerkschaft der Lockführer (GDL) streikt schon wieder, diesmal für fünf Tage. Ich habe absolut kein Verständnis für dieses Verhalten.
Ich kann ja verstehen, dass die Bahnmitarbeiter wegen Bonuszahlungen an das Management aufgebracht waren. Aber zum einen hat der Bahn-Vorstand auf Boni verzichtet, zum anderen ist das eine armselige Argumentation.
Liebe GDL: Ihr solltet Euch schämen!

Quote from Radical Candor
The questions I get asked next are clustered around each of these three areas of responsibility that managers do have: guidance, team-building, and results.
Ein frühphasiges Venture-Capital-Investment muss das Potential für eine Rendite von mehr als 40% p.a.(!) mitbringen, sonst darf ein Venture Capitalist auf Basis der hier geschilderten Überlegungen nicht investieren.
So waren die durch den DAX repräsentierten 30 wertvollsten Unternehmen Deutschlands im Jahr 2013 zumindest noch mehr wert als die fünf größten US-Tech-Unternehmen, während heute allein Apple und Alphabet mehr wert sind als der gesamte DAX 30.

In the year of Corona, I read a lot. I did not read as many non-fiction books as usually, but escaped into some great novels, alone and with my family/kid.
5 Stars
- Der Fisch in uns: Eine Reise durch die 3,5 Milliarden Jahre alte Geschichte unseres Körpers – awesome and entertaining book about evolution, from the point of view of an archeologist.
- The Lean Startup – totally overdue for me to read this great classic on starting a business,
4 Stars
- Solaris – reading this was triggered by the release of the movie. The book is awesome, the movie is horrible.
- Children of Time – hard science fiction, the way I like it!
- Todesengel – a great and depressing story on populism and hate.
- Im Krieg – another great science fiction on weaponized animals. He was a good dog!
3 Stars
- Traction: How Any Startup Can Achieve Explosive Customer Growth – this is a wonderful book, as it makes sure that you are not blind to promising sales channels.
- The Technology Fallacy: How People Are the Real Key to Digital Transformation –bringing the buzz-word topic of digital transformation and people together.
- Productized Services – a useful book for freelancers who want to productize their services without employing people.
- Children of Ruin – not as good as “Children of Time”, but still a fascinating read.
2 Stars
- Project to Product – I have a hard time buying into the framework that is supposed to solve the problem of the digital disruption.
- Das Jesus-Video – interesting idea, but compared to other Eschbach books it is just “okay”.
- Die lymphatersche Formel – short story by Lem, I came across it when looking for Solaris.
- Awaken the Giant Within – I like to check out books like this once in a while that provide guidance in your life, but it was too much anecdotes and feel-good stuff, without much substance.
1 Star
- Im nächsten Leben wird alles besser – too much lecturing, twice as long as it needs to be and an end that was totally predictable. Not sure why this book got such good reviews.
Children Books
- Blackthorn Book 3 and 4 – Book 2 is still my absolute favorite. Book 3 was decent, book 4 a little disappointing.
- Der Ratz-Fatz-x-weg 23 – Fast and fun story, perfect to read with the family.
- Die Nachtflüsterer 1-3 – I got the audio book because it was read by Oliver Rohrbeck. But the story itself was so-so.
- Das schwarze Mal – pretty good fantasy, set 500 years in the future. However, the end is rushed and a little anticlimactic.
