In the Netherlands most websites use a common routing database to map a combination of a ZIP code and house number (+ suffix) to your exact address automatically. Great UX! And naturally depends on good administrative and postal services data quality.

Yanis Varoufakis is now writing and warning us about digital feudalism, seemingly based on his learnings at his Valve tenure.

I don't think you have to waste your money or time on a cruise.

Just being on a boat does it, in fact a blow-up boat for three people (for a good friend and cooler bag with snacks and drinks) will completely detach you from the realities of land life.

Soon we shall see headlines of AI HR personnel being deployed to appropriately 'therapise the employees and mentor them for future opportunities' and HR companies which coordinate them for you. The second extreme that follows is one where we do away with HR and operate on a perfectly managed gig market where you will be hired and fired automatically!
