Where in town is that? I'm getting a few different results when searching. Would love to go and check it out!


Most likely this one: https://www.yelp.de/biz/funkloch-berlin

This tweet confirms there's a bar with smartphone ban in Weißensee: https://twitter.com/ennopark/status/567272387293761537

Only other "Funkloch" I found in Berlin is a youth center, so the above result is very likely the right one.


I also found this: https://www.facebook.com/Funkloch-684514891598702/ which is why I was wondering which of the locations it is.


Guess that looks legit too. Tho I like the other one because they lack any social media presence, which would fit with the theme ;)


it's the Weißensee one that I've seen. I didn't go there, just drove past. The other place in Treptow shows up on google more. But you would hope and expect a place that bans cell phones to not give a f*%# about their SERPs.


The Weisenßee one. I've never been, just zoomed past it while going to the lake.


They are a great ladder for when one wishes to climb up the shoulders of giants. Much can be learned in blogs, but long-form text is not that easily replaced.

That said, my books-to-read list is ever growing as well...


Would it not be more likely that we Scandinavians would have to use the mainstream system? I'm not Norwegian, but my nation Sweden does this similarly.

If we accept giving our internal revenue services to the EU, I very much doubt that we will be able to keep this sort of thing, such as the principle of things being public (sv: offentlighetsprincipen).

For reasons like this (giving up what is unique about our culture for the mainstream continental one) I can't help but be sceptic of further involvement with European political unity, and am anticipating that Brits of 10 years from now will be satisfied with their decision to leave.


What is the simple way for the Chinese government to find the root cause of muslim terrorism and fix it? The only simple fix (as in simple vs easy) would be genocide or giving them their own independent state. The first option is horrible, and the second is not in the interest of the Chinese gov.


City Planning software is something I've been humming over a lot and for a long time. It's a perfect problem for computation with statistics - figure out practical actionable things for cities to do when optimising for things like walkability, public transit available, available storefront-rentals, et cetera. The world is catching up on the western nations, and the millions of cities joining the global middle class can be billions of dollars more efficient. A true way to better the world. The computational parts are doable (I'll be tech cofounder if required - not a visual artist though) but how is it best used?


I wonder what the chinese do WRT city plannin given the amount of building they have been doing, and if walkability plays a role in their designs, and what they use for said designs.


There's been a lot of visible experimentation, but I've not seen anything indicative of a definitive strategy. I would be curious to know if there were any lessons learned from replicating old world European towns.


It is my understanding that Barcelona and its superblocks often serves as a showcase for great city planning: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/may/17/superblocks-r...

Of course this isn't a natural or old layout however.


It's also an example of failed city planning! The original Cerdà Plan was considerably more human friendly:
