Pacemakers and defibrilators are configured to match an individual patient. Part of that configuration includes what parts of the heart to stimulate. This configuration may need to change as the patient's condition changes. You also ne

The idea of a EU BSD fork sounds terrible. What needs to happen is government funding for key open source infrastructure projects that require it like OpenSSL, OpenBSD, GnuPG, etc.

It would be a huge mistake to cut of China from the internet. Whatever power the US wields militarily as well as economically is an absolute joke compared to the power it wields culturally. American culture through movies, tv and music domi

Of course there is a divide between European countries but should the divide between Europe and Russia and the US become larger, the former will quickly lose significance.

Yes they do. Currently at least in NRW English lessons start in 2nd grade of primary school, so we are talking about 6-8 year old children. So you have to keep in mind that they aren't (all) able to fluently read and write in their na

Between a violent Russia and an arrogant US we might actually get a strong united Europe. As a European I can't help but feel that this is a very good thing.

I very much doubt that. In large cities like Berlin or Hamburg they will but in larger cities you can usually just hail a taxi.

I don't think people imagine having better experiences with Uber than with taxis in some parts of the world. That doesn't mean that Uber provides a better service than all taxis everywhere. San Francisco's dysfunctional taxi

Large infrastructure projects in Germany usually fail, projects involving the internet or technology especially so. If there is such a thing as a most wrong stereotype, german efficiency is it.

Is that really that unusual? All foreign languages are taught this way in German schools.

* You can get a taxi just as fast in Berlin. * If you feel the need to use an app that has ratings, payment and stuff, there are apps such as mytaxi for that. * Taxi drivers are professionals and you can complain about them which w

I don't see how it has done so at all, at least in Germany. Precisely because the industry is so highly regulated I don't see how Uber offers anything that I don't get with a regular taxi.

That's only true for certain movements, performed for a certain period of time and potentially with only a cetain amount of force applied to your body. A movement performed incorrectly, performed for too long or with too much force wil

Put physical stress on your body for too long and it will take damage. Why should the same principle not apply to your mind?

The problem isn't that the implementation is bad. The template language is designed in a way that makes a fast implementation impossible. There is no reasonable way of improvement. A problem that is solved in Django 1.8 by making it po

The protocol provides no way to send a scrollback or a history of messages. Additionally messages have no timestamp, so you don't know when they were written, only when you received them.

Just a quick look over the code of the Django and Flask benchmarks reveals, that they are both run in debug mode introducing significant overhead. In addition that that database access isn't performed asynchronously, which leaves the q

At least in the western world, I think that's significantly less of a problem as much more progress has been made for example when it comes to marriage or representation in the media. It also appears that "peak resistance" ha

Saying it gets better may work for a little bullying. Telling a transgender teen that "it gets better" is an obvious lie.

I'm not a native english speaker but 'radical' to me has negative connotations that 'fundamental' does not.

People with university education tend to have higher incomes and in countries with sane laws therefore pay more in taxes. On average they will pay more than they get from government. Apart from that I feel much more comfortable going to a d

Popularity is a strong argument. It's however not the only argument. In the case of git and hg popularity is important because the other arguments are too weak to matter in comparision. That's not the case for GNU Octave or Linux.

Not at all. Java, .NET, PHP and SQL all offer features that Node.JS and MongoDB do not. I also don't think that GitHub is a universally perfect solution. It's clearly not and I never said they were. Using GitHub's popularity

Whether or not hg is good or even better than git is pretty much irrelevant at this point. Github's popularity has made all other project hosting platforms irrelevant. Git's popularity means that every potential contributor knows

Maybe my standards are too high but whenever I'm driving on the autobahn I get the expression that some drivers didn't get the memo about the Rechtsfahrgebot.

Speaking as a German who spend quite some time driving in other European countries with speed limits, the difference is massive. Elsewhere most people tend to drive at more or less at the maximum speed allowed. This makes for a very relaxed
