Any society should aim to have the most educated population it can afford to have. Them getting a better earning through it can be a nice side effect of that, but it is a side effect. The main price is that living among educated people be

Has to do mostly with the historic environment of the country. Berlin was a split city, so after the 90s it abstained mostly from what it perceived as dangerous political experiments. Also die Linke was basically seen as a continuation part

Take this with a grain of salt or as a very edgy, polemic take: I think we really need to hold the individuals running ad networks personally liable for the violation of our privacy rights.

Yeah? A very basic process, most people use some variation of this implicitly without talking about it. This sounds like a slightly narcissistic manager who thinks people are doing it wrong if they don't act like small copies of him. T

You have no respect for the culture of the place and people you're interacting with. "Use public data, protect private data" has been one of the main reasons in the CCC since the 80s , at the same time German Law and culture

Former freelance camera operator who worked in Germany here: you are misrepresenting the legal situation. It is not automatically forbidden to take or even publish pictures of strangers, but the circumstances matter. Merely taking an identi

That means when one goes out of whack, someone will notice. E.g. let's say the mathematical property is correct, but someone optimizes some behavior. Without tests or verification that could break production or worse: not break it, but

Well and this goes further. You will find that some people will only chose to do the visible work. And this will often get great feedback from superiors, although it is the metaphorical equivalent of running around with a fire extinguis

Exactly. As a media tech guy, my best feedback during the past decade of work was always linked to some lazy fuckup of someone else that I "heroically" rushed in to fix by fixing some noob level misuse. Meanwhile the actually mo

One thing I want remind people of is: The inverse-square law is only valid if the source is a point. That means for many sources it is either the wrong law (e.g. loudspeaker array¹, long neon bulbs) because of the shape or it falls apart as

The main problem is that most business are run by people who have no believe at all that you could run a successful company without tricking people into buying your product. That means they don't even try. The rare exception are compan

This is data that will be relevant for every single victim for decades to come and they will pay for this regularly, and it cannot be undone. What amount per person is acceptable for a thing that simply should never happen? I don't thi

Yes but here is the catch. Surveillance comes with the incentives to us it for the personal gain . Or to phrase this differently: knowledge is power and thus the people who are already in power have good motivation to accumulate as much kn

This is btw. a very important consideration when you are teaching literally anything. Telling people to imagine a cone, then a plane, then rotating the other slightly and slice through the cone without touching the base, and then looking at

I would be very curious about a bit more concrete and substential criticism what is bad (or good) about how the both versions, that goes beyond general arguments like: Just because it is Rust, it is not safe! It worked before,

For varying definitions of broken. I know multiple people from broken regions of the world, who would dream to have it like the US. Then there are others who claim their system is broken and only a protest vote will send the sign, while whe

I can't shake the feeling that this is a bit like asking how someone got shot during a game of Russian Roulette. You have a bullet in the chamber and you roll, of course shooting the bullet may be a possible outcome. LLMS with an acces

A lot of it has to do with communications. The times I (as a programmer myself) have witnessed how companies we asked to write software tackled it was eye opening in a negative sense. As a freelancer my process involves a lot of observation

Why would the world feel the need to compromise when all UN countries, except for one agree on the projection. The solution is simply to ignore the minority, especially if it has a government that itself has always refused to compromise wit

Yes, which is precisely what I said, in different words. Now hardware iterative cycles are different than in software, where you can just define perfect interfaces and get a lossless roundtrip between them. In hardware you always have loss,

Seriously, US: Is this the "freedom" I keep hearing about? My 5 year old nieces all walked to school alone, in a mid sized city. As do most 5 year olds in my country, because we want them to grow into adults with the capability to

XR hardware needs actors , this is about sensors . An actor that changes temperature is a heater or maybe something like a peltier element, that can heat and cool. A sensor is the opposite: a thermometer that measures what temperature is

How do you usually remember uuids or hashes if you have to? Many people basically just read the start and the end and compare that, given the huge collision space. I find 51ac0759fc4d far less memorable than kalo-tadu-komu-tigi. Also if I h

My guess would be that the best solution is multi sensorial anyways. So you have GPS, but then you would have an Inertial Measurement Unit, based purely on acceleration and inertia, radar and barometric systems and maybe optical systems fo
