In the first episode of George@Office, four stories land on the table.
Why does Greenland look almost as large as Africa on the map when Africa is roughly 14 times bigger? We explore map projections, geopolitics and what it all means when you are building a product based on maps.
From there, we turn to Europe’s wildfires. The conditions for fire are getting worse, yet the long-term data tells a more complicated story. We discuss the fire-suppression paradox, forest management and the gap between the headlines and the numbers.
Then Rasmus introduces an AI system taking on the century-old Navier–Stokes problem, raising a bigger question: if AI can jump straight to an answer, what might we lose by skipping the journey?
We wrap up with a practical update from George: Quick Notes, a simple way to connect conversations and tasks to an exact place on the map.
Pull up a chair and listen in.
