letzten samstag bin ich bahn gefahren und hatte damit zeit, mal ein paar fachartikel von meinem stapel wegzulesen.

The article is from a few years ago, but the problem still persists. The Robert Roberson case in Texas is a perfect example. "Everybody knows" that shaken baby syndrome kills kids. But the reality is that the science isn't settled. But it's painfully difficult to break the throttlehold that some things have on the court system.

Die Abhängigkeit von Microsoft hat einen Preis – und der steigt rasant.
Christoph Schmees zeigt: Bundesbehörden zahlten 2023 noch 274 Mio. €, 2025 schon 481 Mio. €. Mit angeschlossenen Stellen fast eine Milliarde jährlich. Transparenz? Fehlanzeige. Digitale Souveränität wäre offensichtlich günstiger.
