news.ycombinator.com Oliver Eidel 2025-12-02 23:06:50

I mean that once you’re a business owner in Germany and your business has reached a certain size, you are essentially barred from ever moving out of the country again. Crazy, right? I think it’s also pretty crazy that no one really talks about this. This is, quite literally, erecting a “Berlin Wall” around German entrepreneurs, forcing them

OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit research institute, dedicated to realizing an "artificial general intelligence" that benefits all of humanity. In a December 2015 blog post introducing the company, its founders, including current CEO Sam Altman and his now bitterly-departed rival Elon Musk, said that to accomplish its goal, it would have to be "unconstrained by a need to generate financial return."

Fitbit promised better sleep tracking with new update, but users say it got worse

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-11 16:54:01

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR Fitbit has updated its algorithm for more accurate sleep tracking. The new algorithm now accounts for awake times better, supposedly rendering more accurate data about different phases. However, users have complained of increased sensitivity, resulting in their devices capturing shorter sleep durations than the actual time. Fitbit isn’t nearly as popular as it once was, and that is partly because Google, which completed its acquisition of the company
