Faszinierend, wie sich die Namensvielfalt gesteigert hat - vor allem bei den Buben. 1984 (fast mein Geburtsjahr) hatten fast 50% der Buben einen Namen aus den Top-10. Heute machen die Top-10 nur mehr knapp 15% aus.

Andreas war in den 80ern natürlich ganz vorne dabei 😄.

Over the past year, I received reimbursements from institutions in various EU countries. Similar small sums, wildly different levels of paperwork. Here’s my Euro-bureaucracy ranking (1 = most paperwork pain):

🥇 France
🥈 Germany
🥉 Austria

I have leftover funding for a PhD student for one year (ideally Sept '25 - Sept '26). Might be a good fit for someone wanting to delay going on the market. Please send interested students my way!

Scheint, als käme er vom Epstein-Thema nicht los. Jetzt inszeniert er offenbar das nächste Aufregerthema – wohl in der Hoffnung, davon abzulenken.

At some point, you owe us the secret: How do you consistently write so well—and so much? From blogs to articles to books. It’s truly impressive.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
