As I am living an almost mouse free life, automatically setting the input focus at the window (or input field) that I am currently looking on, would be a very nice comfort feature. Last time I researched this, I could not find a solution, t

Inflation of specific asset prices is also playing into this. Money is losing its value. Try buying a house with a regular wage nowadays. Politicians, central banks and economic experts are sleeping at the helm.

Ironically I could not finish this article. Here is the one thing, that works for me, if I must read a text: While reading I use a Text-To-Speech-Engine to read out the text at the same time. TTS-reading speed should be at least 1.5x. It sh

This was different. They tried DST all year around. Russia also tried this in 2014 and also failed.

I suspect a connection with the intestinal flora. Bacteria in the intestinal flora are able to synthesize all kinds of neurotransmitters from carbohydrates. I myself become very lethargic under a normal carbohydrate-containing diet. On low

As a night owl (wich most people actually are), Standard Time all year around would be best for you, from a biological stand point at least.

Sorry for being imprecise, but I actually meant Standard Time (as in noon at about 12pm). Our circadian rhythms are not as flexible as many people think. There are many studies showing that people sleep less if the sun sets later, causing a

No, it does not make any sense! It forces the majority of the population to live with a constant mini jet-lag. It causes productivity loss and many health issues. There are no chrono-biologists advocating DST (or constant summer time) over

I hope Germans also reconsider and start listening to the scientists! This is again one of those issues where people voted against their own interests, because they associate summer with warmth + light and winter with cold + darkness.

When americans are discussing politics they are always missing the point. At least from the outside perspective. It's like two parties arguing about football. One side is saying, we need to abolish referees, the players should sort pro

From my experience, fixing the glitching issue is relatively easy. Took me about 5 minutes last time. I did it twice already. Only 4 screws have to be removed. Check youtube for tutorials.

I would also prefer this for social networks like facebook. They should have an additional option where they store none of your data and guarantee not to track you. As a compensation the user would need to pay money for using the service. T

I do not understand the argument that CS is not "the real thing". JavaScript isn't the real thing either. On the way to the processor there are so many different layers of abstraction to go through. CS is just another one of

Ok, even if this was the case, I fail to see the relevance of it? The effect would be the same. Less money for candidates that vote against fixing the climate. Hence less chances for them winning in the elections.

Well, regarding privacy, google is in the wrong! They are collecting all the data they possible can and then transfer them to the U.S. where Europeans do not enjoy any right to privacy (which is considered a basic human right here). This is
