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.

@Schuldensuehner @GrimmVeronika
Der Chart ist für eine sehr enge Frage technisch korrekt, aber als Aussage über Deutschland insgesamt irreführend — und basiert ausgerechnet auf dem Teildatensatz, den die Statistikbehörde selbst als am wenigsten belastbar kennzeichnet.

@somewheresy @domesticetch I agree!
(to most of it)

Now you've made me curious: In your eyes what does an "actual museum" need?

One that equally attracts and educates young & non-academic audiences?

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.

@Anrick weirdly so, but same thought!

@imkshitij16 retro UX! In Apple Shake one could shake nodes to get rid of all connections. I loved it then, love it now in this new context 😍

@schwittlick_ How about a Hanko? I feel like the contained shape helps.

or, if signature, I'd go for 20-30% light grey signature, instead of full black.

@JosefPelz so soft!

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)
