I'm not really a German constitutional scholar but I study German law and am somewhat specialized in constitutional and international law. I think the questions you are touching upon are very interesting. There are definitely a lot of

I guess we're on a tangent now but maybe it's an interesting exercise. >the parent clearly felt that the phrase being perjorative was tied to it being censored. How do you come to this conclusion? In my view the comment is not

This is of course a good development for those cases where Jitsi is unstable. Although: >Meetings are limited to 60 minutes for the free product, though we won’t enforce this time limit until after Sept. 30. So actually it won't be

This is exactly the reason why there are specific limitations on so called "Haustürgeschäfte" (sales made on the perch of your own home) in German and European law. For example you get a reasonable time period to rethink those sal

Actually those test strips tests are basically useless at the moment because they have way too many false positives. But I think there is some interesting work, so maybe we will see these tests at some point in an accurate form which would

How could an airline company possibly be equipped to handle this kind of situation? If you want to be competitive on the market you need to lower costs and cut down on margins. You can't just have a big pile of money lying around &quot

My first guess would be less surface for contact, thus less heat transfer. But the corners are also colored differently, I'm not sure why that's the case. They probably cool down quicker?

I mostly agree with your underlying assumptions but I'm still advocating for a different course of action. The problem with this disease is that while many people don't die, they require intensive care. As we can see in Italy curr

This test will not be able to help by shipping it out to everyone. As someone else in this thread already described, if you give everybody in the US this test, the probability that if someone tests positive he/she is not actually infec

If you read the whole thread he himself says in the end that the situation is not portrayed accurately. So take this with a grain of salt to say the least.

I've seen this (exactly this, actually) line of reasoning regarding taxes and art before. While I think that it is somewhat relevant it's still not legal to do that, at least not where I live.

But actually the state (society) decides which donations are tax deductible.

Something very similar happened to me (20, m) recently, I drank too much coffee, felt my heart racing and had an impending sense of doom being worried to the point where I was also (trying to) accept my oncoming death. This was also happeni

It's not clear to me why "actual freedom of speech" should be equal to what is guaranteed by the US constitution. That would be like me saying "The US doesn't have the 'Right to Life'" because I'

Which means that freedom of speech is (in some cases) limited because of the religious freedom of others. It doesn't mean that freedom of speech doesn't exist, it means that the "balancing exercise" between certain Right

That's not true. At least not for the common definitions of "freedom of speech".

Yes that makes sense, but that's something completely different than targeting people because of their race and keeping them there "indefinitely".

To be fair, everybody who has Alexa already has a phone constantly with them everywhere. So it's just one extra microphone, not something completely different.

I'm 99% sure that you are not affiliated with the Chinese Government. I just wanted to show that accusations like these are not really helpful. It's not the responsibility of Goole/Facebook to prove that they aren't spon

And I wonder whether comments like yours are spread by the Chinese Government to undermine trust in our media/democracy.
