🗞 Top inspiration snippets
🇩🇪 Berlin & Other good stuff
Supporters received the collection of March snippets and extra links.
🔒 What does your password look like? Maybe you should do some reviews and turn on 2FA wherever possible.
💰It is a lot of responsibility, but you can easily earn a starting salary of over 100k as a flight controller (🇩🇪, €). Check out the website of DFS for more information (also in English).
😅 I was exactly (redacted) years old when I learned that the Kurzstrecke ticket for BVG expires in 20 minutes.
📈🏢 Five cool charts on square meter price of apartments to rent in large German cities. Berlin still “cheap” but with extremely wide range.
💘 Spring is almost here, huehue, and love might be in the air. Maybe a good time to install one of the dating apps if you are also one of ONE MILLION SINGLE people in Berlin? One million. Hard to believe; probably tax class 1.
🐒 Slightly love related, I randomly found a great Substack
and one of the essays I read was "Why do women have breasts?". There are several explanations, and it all starts with monkeys.😔 Bad news: A lot of silent layoffs, but nothing was published officially; While Allianz wants to sell their share in N26, the neo-bannk is, according to FT, struggling to grow up also because of leadership problems (€), partially summarized here (🇩🇪).
r/berlin choice of the week are these insights into the graffiti community. I learned about crossing etiquette. An extremely controversial topic with strong opinions on both sides.
💬 Briefly: Tier leaving Vienna; insolvent nextmarkets saved by an investor, London-based Shift took over Berlin-based Movinga; amazingly-named XXXLutz got a green light for the takeover of Home24; Getir raised $500M at a halved valuation ($6.5B); Bosch says it will deploy AI in the production already this year and not in 2025 as initially planned; Razor Group acquired competitor Stryze.

🤓 Timeless and useful
I watched this video years ago, and I think about it every time I want to present an idea (focus on three things and ideally repeat them three times):
😅 Meanwhile
someone made this great video about social progress (link on the screenshot). What do you think about four-day workweek?
This is a footer slice of 🌎 for you. In Europe, we like to make fun of Americans for not knowing where Slovenia is. Just kidding. Where France is for example. But how many of the states would you place properly?
