For the end of the year, I want to share with you a very personal aspiration:
I want to live like I'm in #StarTrek 👩🚀🚀🌍❤️
Does that mean flying through space? Sure, why not, but what I actually mean is this... 👇

I have a whole lot more respect for David Beckham now, and a whole less for his wife!

Anyone know how to open/remove this bike lock without the keys? Someone put a second lock on our bike and now we can’t use it since Monday. Asking around, nobody knows who’s bike it is an now we’re looking for alternative options

I'll keep saying it "Video is the next big thing in #iot!"
One of the coolest companies I recently came across is using submersible cameras to keep an eye on underwater ecosystems!

Als Ärztin bitte ich euch alle:
Kauft keine Böller oder Raketen!🙏
Jährlich erleiden Tausende von Menschen vermeidbare Verletzungen durch Feuerwerkskörper - Hörschäden, Verbrennungen, Gesichtsverletzungen oder einen Verlust von Fingern.
Das brauchen wir nicht auch noch!!

New one for my list of epic board meeting quotes
"Assumption is the mother of all f***ups!" 😂

You can do this with #ios it’s called guided access. You can turn it on for any app from the control center and it prevents people from seeing anything but that app. For the super paranoid, you can also disable touch input altogether so they can not make changes to the screen!

I think phones should have a mode where you can hand them to someone and all they can do is see the app you have opened, no notifications or anything.

You can also boil sausages in the electric kettle, or so I’ve heard from a friend who works in a hotel 😉 #LifeHacks

LinkedIn really flies under the radar as the social media platform that’s absolutely the most unhinged

The UK Research and Innovation, a public body that awards amazing research grants, recently asked:
"Is the UK really not as good as the US at turning university research into new businesses?"
They concluded: "London is better than the US"
Here's why this is misleading:

Next time someone wants to put data on the blockchain to "prevent tampering" please show them unfitbits.com/ and ask them how the #blockchain and #web3 is going to solve this!

#Hardware and #IoT prototyping 101
When doing the first batch, always go for “ease of iteration” until you know you figured it out. Then go and find people to do it “properly”

Myself, I finally came to the conclusion that it is very long and expensive to run a project with an outside company from scratch.
It is much easier and much faster to make a prototype my myself, and then work with someone else.

To give you all a sense of scale of the mess we are in

A trillion extra trees is about the most additional trees that could be fit onto the planet Earth.
It would be an amazing feat, but would still only eat 10-15 years worth of current human carbon emissions.
Trees are great, but can't substitute for reducing carbon emissions.

The usefulness of #H2 is fleeting.
Battery powered trains that can re charge at train stations and short electrified segments are being rolled out in Germany to replace diesel trains!

German Railway begins construction of overhead wire islands.
➡️ The electrification of railway lines is complex and expensive. Deutsche Bahn is therefore starting to equip only shorter sections with overhead wires.

I never would have though that “less flammable” is an argument for bikes but here we go! #autokorrektur
Yesterday Night, I woke up because I heard an explosion. When I opened the window 3 cars in my street were burning. 1/n

And I mean really burning, flames 2 meters high, smoke everywhere and explosions as the flames chewed their way through the car. By the time the firefighters made it here, 5 cars were already burning as they parked close together! It could have spread to 10 cars in total! 2/n

On a happier note: To my knowledge nobody got hurt. At least there was no ambulance on the scene!

Tired: Ability to scale is limited by money you can afford to spend
Wired: Ability to scale is limited by amount of GPUs you can get your hands on!
Prediction: FLOPS will become macroeconomic factor soon!
Anyone working at AWS can help with GPU scaling? Having a hard time getting to speak to someone that can help us higher up as we're limited in GPU resources now

As AI is going through crazy fast innovation and adoption, more and more economic value will depend on the ability to run computations quickly and efficiently. Hence revenue and available compute resources directly correlate.

The more often this happens, the more important it becomes for the economy (similar to electricity generation and prices).
Compute is not there yet, but I can see it going there in a few decades!
