Maybe this is a cultural difference between here (Frankfurt)

Considering all of the luxury retailers I've seen in Frankfurt, and all of the branded soccer jerseys I've seen so many people wearing in Frankfurt, and all of the non-generic everything I've seen in Frankfurt, I think it's disingenuous to frame this as a geographic issue.

Perhaps if you define your geography as whatever seat you currently occupy, your argument holds. But Frankfurt is hardly immune from the concept of conspicuous consumption.

BTW: There's more than one Frankfurt in Germany.

> all-day 18-hour battery life.

Is there a standard for what "all-day" means? I think most would initially assume 24 hours, but thinking about it more, it seems reasonable to consider "can work from wake up to sleep" or "can work from sunup to sundown"/

I charge my Series 0 Apple Watch once a day when it's at about 50%.

I probably haven't read anything that won a "normal" prize. At least not in the decades after school.

I've read a few old books who won Science Fiction prizes like the Hugo Award. But today even these are a bit too political.

Believe it or not, you can't solve poverty by throwing money at poor people, as counter intuitive as it might seem.

They still get a lot of development aid from foreign countries. Germany approved new €765.02 million in 2018.

That's hard to explain.

I'm programming since the 1980s. This feels very, very strange to me. I wouldn't want to rely on so many moving parts even after the whole software got installed.

They have a totally different philosophy than us old folks.

Weppy is considered a known older one. That's a sign that I'm getting old.
