Why is the prosecution asking about irrelevant things like that? Why doesn't it continue like this: Q: But eventually you cancelled the credit card? A: Yes. Q: Despite your contractual obligation to pay? A: yes, but they made it imposs

I refuse to believe that anyone who thinks that 1984's main takeaway is that there is no objective truth and that any attempt to stand against propaganda is a greater crime than the propaganda lies themselves has actually read it. The

Well, no one would frame it like that. Also, very few people are in that false dilemma.

We have the claim of a refutation here, but one that is obviously weak. If your only explanation of why your toy theory is rejected by everyone else is collective, universal delusion you've already disproven yourself. No theory fits

Transpiler is a very useful word. It makes it clear that the translation doesn't happen from a high-level language to a low-level language as is usually implicitly assumed. Arguing about the technical definition of compiler misses the

The reason is simply familiarity. If you had lived your whole life with an inverted, nonlinear temperature scale that has freezing water at 53 degree, body temperature at 20 and boiling water at 0 degree you would also find that intuitive.

It's only fear-mongering if you silently presuppose that the regulations of the amount and temperature of water is arbitrary. In reality, these regulations are necessary to a) not kill the river and b) to have acceptable safety margins

Unfortunately, readability is at odds with other, more important goals of the authors, like shoe-horning in references to all important papers in the field, especially if they're likely to be written by reviewers. Also, a lot of work m

Apparently she is only the richest person if you include crown estate properties - which I agree mostly shouldn't count as personal property. The personal wealth is still considerable, with 500 million dollars being the low estimates.

There is absolutely no reason why a constitutional monarch would automatically need to be exempted from so many laws. In fact, the UK is the only European monarchy that has such broad exemptions. Liechtenstein might come close though. Eliz

The attacker doesn't control that message. If they did, they would already know the code and wouldn't need you to give it to them.

Companies would just stay on even older versions of those libraries. Maybe with security patches backported, but probably not.

This is such a typical web 3 page. It doesn't even try to tell me what it is about, except promising "quadratic" money showers for open source Blockchain apps. Apparently "the mathematically optimal way to fund public go

Not op, but probably a common reasoning: At home, I don't do threat models or risk assessments. I also don't care that much about 5 to 15% increase in benchmarks, I just hope that the OS vendor makes sensible decisions in regards

Stuff is sold below cost all the time. Often for very good reason, often because there is no other option than to limit the losses. In any case, hashprice is plummeting, and this system is self correcting, as the price to mine is extremely

Nuclear isn't a guarantee at all. Typically, only half of the French reactors are operating. There are a lot of problems: * a plethora of safety problems, often created due to a lack of maintenance and lax oversight - most famously mor

As the Audubon Society notes, the number is dwarfed by the number of birds killed by house cats and building collisions. But there are even greater threats to birds, like increased use of pesticide and above all - climate change. Stopping w

Subsidies for some wind energy farms in Germany are set by auction. They are now negative, i.e. developers pay for the privilege of building plants.

I will bother to reply if you bother to formulate an argument. Edit: what's with the downvotes? A URL is not an argument, and neither is some raw data without any interpretation.

Solar energy is even competitive in Norway. In Germany, even flat layed panels (i.e. not angled towards the sun, or even on the side of buildings) are viable. Technology marched on. Panels and installation are dirt cheap and solar is highly

The south has almost a third of the viable area for wind power generation. The only reason why the expansion there is slow are ideological opposition and NIMBYism.

I have yet to see one comparison to the fall of Rome that wasn't complete horse shit - and this is no exception. It's just madness from the beginning - "Rome" began to fall as soon as it was relevant, it lasted for more

I should have made that clear: there is no such formal rule, although there are quibbles like that where regional politicians demand additional stops. That's the system working as intended, though. People like to laugh about small citi
