Gunnar Schupelius: Deutschland zahlt Asylbewerbern das meiste Geld

Erst wenn die Sozialleistungen in der EU angeglichen sind und Deutschland endlich seine Spendierhosen auszieht, wird der Strom der Migranten abebben.

Berlin kann keine weiteren Asylbewerber und Migranten aufnehmen. Alle Unterkünfte sind besetzt, Hotels werden angemietet, die provisorische Zeltstadt auf dem Flugfeld Tegel ist zur Dauereinrichtung geworden. Die Lage ist katastrophal.

Warren Buffett tells WSJ he stepped aside as CEO after finally feeling old

Scientists mimicking the Big Bang accidentally turn lead into gold

The physicists made an unexpected breakthrough

Medieval alchemists dreamed of transmuting lead into gold. Today, we know that lead and gold are different elements, and no amount of chemistry can turn one into the other. But our modern knowledge tells us the basic difference between an atom of lead and an atom of gold: the lead atom contains exactly three more protons. So can we create a gold atom by simply pulling three protons out of a lead atom? originally posted at

Believe it or not, Microsoft just announced a Linux distribution service

ZDNET

Believe it or not, Microsoft just announced a Linux distribution service - here's why

Microsoft is open-sourcing its Linux Integration Services Automation image-testing service for everyone.

Would you believe Microsoft has announced a new Linux distribution service for its Azure cloud service? You should. For many years, the most popular operating system on Azure has not been Windows Server, it's been Linux. Last time I checked, in 2024, Azure Linux Platforms Group Program Manager Jack Aboutboul told me that 60% of Azure Marketplace offerings and more than 60% of virtual machine cores use Linux. Those figures mean it's sensible for Microsoft to make it easier than ever for Linux distributors to release first-class Linux distros on Azure. originally posted at
