Freedom of movement is a fundamental right in Germany. Your freedom to move the car everywhere, and without qualification is of course limited for the safety of everyone. But driving places is part of your personal freedom, which has to be

As far as the linked article says, at least some, if not all, of them were already found at similar blockades, some were also already judged guilty and fined: https://www.zeit.de/gesellschaft/zeitgeschehen/2023-09&

Asking to be paid fairly is of course possible and sensible. But I'm not sure that it will be successful. Fewer people working will create a huge overhang of qualified experts, at least initially, driving down prices.

Exactly. Self-driving is a far more complex problem. The car has to get it right, right here on the road, little to no margin for error. The script-writing AI, voice AI, actor-image AI will be used to create a multitude of options, and all

I guess it won't backfire because the AI revolution will come anyways. I rather think that this strike is a last-ditch effort to contain the AI revolution and squeeze out the last bucks before the flow of money dries up.

Similarly for many disputed territories in Antarctica, with the added fun of "the south pole region is special". But of course that is a very marginal topic.

I suggest giving date and time in the form of phase/frequency references to nearby pulsars. That should guarantee stability for a few million years.

On the one hand, yes, in that one example it worked. After quite a while, during which the competition already suffered massively. On the other hand, triple nope. E.g. the council of German GDPR enforcers declared most of Windows and Micros

I see the difference in that "enshittification" is what the platform owner does. "Glossification" is what the users do. Of course both are closely related. To elaborate, with an example: ebay has once been a platform to

Circles was a great idea. But not really good enough. I'd have liked an "ignore" circle, like banning users on other platforms, just quietly, like the shadowbans some implement on a personal feed level. Also, Circles was the

I think this is an eternal cycle. Maybe related to what has been called "enshittification", but not the same: Users will flock to a platform, make it their own. The platform will grow. Then the advertisers, professionals, and huck

People would no longer buy their product if it wouldn't work on Linux. The Bazillions that Nvidia earns buying shovels in the AI gold rush? All dependent on working Linux drivers because most to all of the big AI shops run Linux cluste

> not because the end of coal and nuclear, but [...] it depended on cheap russian gas. Those events aren't independent, they are strongly connected. Coal and nuclear have provided baseload power, with gas and renewables filling in

The end of coal is premature if your only other GW-scale energy source, nuclear, is being phased out at the same time, and you don't even have a replacement planned.

You can try to ignore that and insist on applying emission regulations on import, which is what the EU currently is preparing. However, the scenario this will lead to is: Industry will still leave high-energy-price areas. If low-energy-pric

They are falling from the Ukraine-war special-circumstances peak down to the pre-war rising slope. 30ct/kWh is still 50-100% higher than what e.g. France, Poland, or the UK (comparable in size and economy) are paying. Btw., those aren&

Not to forget ever-rising sky-high energy prices due to a premature end of coal and nuclear, and a distinct lack of energy storage for renewables.

That's why you always do anonymous immediate full disclosure. Nothing else is ethically viable. Nothing else protects the researcher.

In Germany the short "hecto" stands for "hectoliter", when ordering larger amounts of beer.

Stainless steel is expensive, roughly a factor of 10 compared to plain steel. The reason is that Chromium is expensive. You can use low-chromium not-so-stainless steel if you then coat it with transparent paint containing among other things

Any thread model should take firmware into account. There have been examples of unauthenticated remote code execution against Intel ME[0]. This isn't theoretical, this isn't an assumption, this has happened. Those exploits are ind

But cost of cooling is passed on to the cloud customer. Different zones/DCs/regions have different hourly cost which is a function of, among other things, the local price of electricity and cooling.

This is highly misleading. fTPM is more secure against _this_ kind of attack, with physical access to the bus wires. However, since fTPM is a Firmware-TPM, it is vulnerable to all kinds of attacks on the system's firmware, even remotel

On the contrary, it can be extremely difficult and expensive to do with waste heat from datacenters. Your average cooling equipment, of the energy conserving kind has 2 modes: First mode, for cold outside weather e.g. in winter is free cool

Hetzner runs an intentionally primitive shop. Famously, one of their (historic) cheapest offerings were desktop "servers" on wooden shelves with flying cabling. So anything in the way of UPS, PDUs, monitoring, airflow, etc just is

Even worse, a future requirement will be compulsory use of waste heat. No matter the cost or efficiency, you have to find users for the heat given off by your cooling. Good luck finding people wanting their homes heated in summer...

Well, you suggested prophylactic exposure in early childhood (which is usually before any allergy is diagnosed and usually also before it is manifest): > I suspect that in twenty years it will be standard to start infants on sublingual i
