Your translation is unprecise: > Die Vergütung ist nach der Leistung der Dienste zu entrichten. Ist die Vergütung nach Zeitabschnitten bemessen, so ist sie nach dem Ablauf der einzelnen Zeitabschnitte zu entrichten. translates to : Remu

I am fairly sure you mean 614 BGB - and that only defines that payment is due "after the service has been rendered", but not "immediately after the service has been rendered". The German language, especially in legal tex

The 28th is a Sunday this year. Banks in Germany don't work on weekends. This is perfectly normal. In fact, there is no legal obligation to pay an employee before the end of the month (unless explicitly stated in the work contract). I&

Please note that this guy is considered one of the original "computer artists", and teaches at a art school, which is useful context when trying to understand the article.

But is the output of stable diffusion actually art, or is it just a mimicry of artsy information? Does it have compositional value, or an original idea? Couldn't you make an argument that stable-diffusion-imagery is in the most origina

Your major misconception is that what you consider good and right aligns with what is politically convenient. As a nation state, you only have that much political influence, both in the world as well as within your borders, and you will soo

You are describing a time period that spans about 50-70 years, in which alarmism led to some outcomes (or actions which coincided with positive outcomes). This reactive type of fear -> public pressure -> change politics is not the his

It may appear that right now, a lot of things are going the wrong way simultaneously and that that somehow is an unique point in history. But it's not. Several large-scale events with potentially horrific outcomes have happened simulta

Actually, they did, back when Ireland as a whole voted for independence. That that particular part of the country may have chosen to remain does not, under democratic rules, allow for it to be separated from the main country, much like Scot

Hm, you could argue that the Tetris app is not designed with casino-like blinking/vibrant colors/success sounds to induce endorphine rushes. Also Tetris is relatively fair and does not have pay-to-win schemes (notice how that unbe

Given the countries that travel the least also often are the countries most likely to trigger a war, I'd say we might want to leave that one alone for now and focus on other creators of CO2.

What connectors will the EU consider if no-one is willing to invest money to create them?

by DocTomoe 4y ago
With this kind of legislation, why would anyone invest in creating a connector they cannot market? This pretty much enforces an "end of history" kind of USB-c connector standard. I can see things moving more to the wireless realm

In most European countries - and so in Italy, you don't vote for a person, you vote for a party. This is usually a good idea, but can lead to unintended side-effects (See: United Kingdom). Monti was supported by both democratically-ele
