  • Ukraine has developed very impressive drone technology in a very short time. It is expected that multiple nations will actually try to make deals to acquire Ukrainian drones at the current NATO summit because they are so good now. So Ukraine is no longer dependent on others to sell them drones. They‘re selling them now.

    For example, these drones can use terrain as guidance, so GPS isn’t required for navigation. This also allows them to fly at a very low altitude, avoiding Russian air defense. They’re also very resistant to jamming and have advanced autonomous capabilities, so they can “finish the job” on their own if the link to their operator is severed. Also, they’re very cheap, so it’s possible to overwhelm Russian defenses by swarming them.

    In summary, they‘ve developed incredible killing machines that are able to act autonomously, which is very good for them right now but probably not very good for humanity in the long run.





  • Ich finde es leider immer wieder ärgerlich, dass die journalistische Qualität der taz bei einzelnen Beiträgen mit der der Bild-Zeitung konkurriert.

    Ein reiner Ragebait-Artikel, bei dem einem Schwimmbadbetreiber direkt Rassismus vorgeworfen wird, weil er es nicht verantworten möchte, Menschen in seiner Anlage baden zu lassen, denen sein Team die Regeln und Gefahren aufgrund von Sprachbarrieren nicht vermitteln kann.

    Ich kann natürlich nicht ausschließen, dass Rassismus auch eine Rolle spielen könnte, aber es klingt für mich erstmal sehr nachvollziehbar, dass man Menschen nicht in Gefahr bringen möchte. Erst recht nicht, wenn man am Ende die Verantwortung trägt.

    Insbesondere weil es ja offenbar schon mindestens einen Vorfall gab, bei dem ein Kleinkind aus viel zu tiefem Wasser gerettet werden musste, sehe ich den Rassismusvorwurf hier vollkommen fehl am Platz.

    Solche Artikel spielen nur den Rechten in die Hände. Schlechte Arbeit, liebe taz.




  • There are unfortunately still very few specialists who are able to diagnose ASD in adults, so 2-3 years is unfortunately a realistic estimate.

    If you have the money to spend, you can reduce this wait time to around 2-6 months by looking for a practice offering privately paid ASD diagnostics (Selbstzahler). It can cost anywhere between 450-900€. It‘s pretty ridiculous that you can only get a somewhat timely diagnosis by paying for it yourself, but it‘s really a supply/demand issue.

    Importantly, if you decide to go that route, make absolutely sure that you‘re actually talking to a qualified professional (someone who has an Approbation). There are quite a lot of shady life coaches and counselors trying to make money with ASD „diagnoses“ which have no medical or legal significance.

    Best of luck to you, hope you‘re able to get answers soon!
