Authors are persons and clearly have freedom of speech, no one here is arguing with that.

Which can be answered with a simple "get lost". edit: Since some people seem to disagree, why not? I fail to see how its any more complicated then those two words. You put in the effort to organize the bookclub, you have the prero

Or for the future bad apples that come in and try to exploit the CoC to bully someone out who was there from the start. People interested in introducing CoC in small friction less groups are rather often extremely toxic.

It would already a great step if we would stop criminalizing assisted suicide. My grandmother recently passed away from cancer and she luckily suffered only a relative short while after switching from treatment to palliative care. She said

The interesting part about oil is not so much who can extract it but who controls if it gets extracted. Which in turn means who can control the oil price by extracting more or less of it.

yes. They didnt for example had the rights to upload some sport broadcasts which they were only allowed to show on tv. Like it was already mentioned, this was about unfair business advantage, not about the actual copyright.

I did it a bit further up. Like you can ask the toddlers who ended up on no fly lists, mistakes happen. And if you are not a US citizen, you dont have any legal recourse. And if you end up with a case of mistaken identity, you can not just

Its the post we are responding to though. And the notion, that if you could chose, Europeans would prefer to be spied on by the US is absurd. My posts are about nothing more. The threat analysis for most Europeans is rather straight forward

Which has nothing to do with the question of what would be preferable to European citizens, US surveillance or Chinese surveillance. The possible effects are rather clear cut, which is why I dont understand why anyone would views this diffe

I am not a Chinese dissident. China is not going around the globe putting people in execution vans there. So my personal consequences of Chinese surveillance are rather limited. The possible impact on my life is in no way comparable to the

People bought these ebooks for a reason. Refunding solves nothing if you want the ebook. If someone replaced my bookcase with a check i would be rather pissed too.

Do you think your choice is representative of the population?

Thats a rather recent one however. The saying is rather old.

Its quite common with prisoners on hunger strikes. Apparently the feeling of hunger stops after a few days. Have to mention that you should be rather careful with that, the long hunger strikes where people died after month were with a force

Putting wires on the memory bus is not really needed. >1. I have yet to see any indication that this is the case. Taking memorydumps of running systems have been state of the art for about 10 years. There is a heap of commercial forensic

Makes sense, things got really butchered in the translation. Our police used to be green until, what feels like really recently. So there are still a lot of sayings around involving "the people in green". Now they are apparently b

I am not sure that the offset in security is that small. The assumption, that your servers will only be evaluated month later doesnt hold true in most cases. Attacking running machines quickly does happen. If your threat scenarios are littl

Does your local river actually have a plastic problem? I am not sure thats a problem in western countries with functioning waste management systems. I thought the water problems we had were generally from industrial or agriculture runoffs.

Whats the power consumption like for audio recorders? Because as far as I know video is out of question at these energy levels.

If that is practical to use, it would open an entire new field of applications. Constrained devices currently consume roughly 50 times that much during transmission on 802.15.4 or BLE. While there are sensors who are used for 10 years on a

I wouldnt assume that you could displace that. But why would you assume an either or to begin with? Soldiers are certainly responsible for their actions like anyone else, no matter their orders. Just as people giving the orders are responsi

They are however killing people. Lets not skip over that part as nice and cuddly as "just doing their job" sounds. I highly doubt the dead would care that their murderers were paid to do it.

Why they disagree with censorship? Its a great firewall with the enforcement being pushed to every last person running a website. Its a totalitarian grasp for the control of the internet as a whole. The protection fee for publishing houses

Do it right and you can get payed in college too. In Germany you have cooperative study programs for fields that are in high demand (like CS). Your degree takes 2 semesters longer in which you work at a company who pays you from start to fi

Absolutely, and there have been calls to ban tor in the past, so its not unrealistic. I just dont think this is going to be that yet.
