  • It makes sense to start with the year zero when you want to do any calculations that involve dates that where before and after year one. If an empire was founded in 50 BC and dissolved in 50 CE to calculate its age when it was dissolved you have to acknowledge that there is no year zero so instead of just calculating 50 - (-50) = 100 you have to substract one which is counter intuitive. Because it went from year 1 BC straight to 1 CE.

    Mein Handy hat neu 170€ gekostet und ich nutze es jetzt schon seit über drei Jahren. (Ich denke aber dieses Jahr steht ein neues an) Um sich wirklich zu lohnen müsste das Fairphone also schon sehr lange halten und da ist mein Vertrauen nicht groß genug für eine Investition von 700€. Zudem es ja auch vorher schon runter fallen oder verloren gehen kann. Aus ethischer sicht finde ich das Fairphone aber gut. Vielleicht kaufe ich eins wenn es ein gutes Angebot für ein gebrauchtes gibt.



















  • How does a microchip help when apparently the name “Parmigiano Reggiano” isn’t protected in the US? The article doesn’t seem to differentiate between actual counterfeit that claims to be from the region vs. cheese that is made in the US and sold as made in the US. The chips would only help against the second kind. Also, the article claims that parmesan is one of the oldest cheeses of humankind even though it is less than a thousand years old while people have made cheese since the stone age. Personally, I don’t really see a reason, that people in the US should only be able to call parmesan from Italy parmesan if most parmesan sold there is already made in the US. I don’t think it really matters where the cheese is produced and it doesn’t really make sense, to transport it over the ocean when it can be produced locally.
