Yes, and I read till the end. The article quotes a presse statement in which they say: „EPI is currently working to reduce its dependency on non-European suppliers. The market has evolved significantly in recent years, and we are now build

I think EU citizens are excited mainly because of winning back their digital sovereignty, nobody said this would be cutting edge technology. Actually the simplicity of the solution is key (Wero is based on EU’s proven SEPA Instant Payment

If European retailers manage to link Wero payments to loyalty schemes, then everyone will benefit and this could eventually become something. Still, no thread to legacy credit card rails (Mastercard, Visa) for many years. The industry doesn

The requirements aka intents, where do they come from? Today, there are PMs interacting with customers, analyzing data, reading the regulation, connecting insights/demand with business strategy to come up with requirements. This is now

Does anybody if would be possible to link NFC tags with Spotify links THAT AUTO-PLAY? It’s the latter which I‘m struggling with. Normal Spotify links still require to tap play on the device, correct?

This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing. I am currently preparing for a workshop with children in which I want to let them “draw” their own website/web-apps. So far I did not plan to let them create their own fonts, as I did not know

Absolutely not, at least if you don’t think in terms of personal fame but impact you have on the people you live with. It’s something that becomes super apparent when you have kids. You pass on so much and that will live on forever, in a mi

Apparently, the problem is not that the money would be gone but that it’s just somewhere else because only BaaS middleman Synapse has access to the actual reconciliation how these funds distribute across individual fintech end users. Accord

I do get the point that following news constantly all day long is a bit like doom scrolling and doesn’t add much to a good life. However, I would not go as far as saying „complete waste of time“. It is Saturday morning and I just read a lon

I have been driving an ID.4 for almost three years by now. I consider much of what others criticize here in terms of UI, touch-sensitive buttons etc. to be „not great“ either but it did work for me. I didn’t really care to be honest. What d

3 bullets on „what I‘ve learned today“, followed by 3 bullets on „what I will do next“. This makes sense to me because a) content-wise I consider learning / making sense of what I experience in my life to be both intellectually and emo

Have a look at reforge. I once participated in their course on retention and really liked it. Most of the courses are at the intersection of product/engineering/marketing, a good interdisciplinary mix I believe. However, every coh

An aggregator that aggregates other aggregators? Actually it’s even more complex, as many of the established aggregators already collaborate with each other behind the scenes. Very meta-meta-ish. Exciting, but also a lot of dependencies. Go

Interesting read. However, the author misses some important motivations why people choose to buy instead of renting. For example, I don‘t expect it to generate much value for myself, but for my kids, as they will inherit it one day. Imagine

Thanks for the responses. I will try to reach out via my local library to find some people. However, surprised to see there is no fancy social app for that purpose since local community members might not necessarily share your book prefs, s

You’re on to something! The idea behind Double addresses a problem I‘ve been struggling with for a long time. The question is how to get it to take off - it needs scale and reach, network effects to really work well I believe. Maybe piggy b

Same here. From time to time I observe where other meeting participants look at and I feel like this is very, very common (you can tell by the specific corner a person is looking at in some of these applications)

Any specific recommendations? For instance, Tim Urban‘s Wait But Why blog and the Lex Friedman podcast go into the direction I am looking for. I wonder if there is any „hub“, social network or community similar to HN that one should be awar

It is for that reason why online meeting tools like Zoom, MS Teams, etc., should provide an option to hide your own video from yourself – I believe one’s own video is a massive source of distraction from concentrating on other persons in a

On a more general level, how can you even get close to reality if you want to estimate app downloads or in-app-revenues? Isn’t this complete guesswork with very very little reliability/validity?
