It is not a change in behaviour what is sought but a change in accountability. Even today you are expected to behave predictable. However it is not punishable by death today. Here in Germany you are always civilly accountable to a great dea

Is there an independent audit of this claim? Similar things happened at Uber and we have nothing but Facebooks word for it. I take it that not every employee has access. No employee having access seems unbelievable.

I wonder why US still insist on using proven insecure technology to carry out elections. If "the system is blinking" why not return to simple paper ballots? It almost seems that the US wants to be hurt... As an European, the style

For time cost, my rule of thumb is that unit tests roughly take the same amount of test code than the code being tested and about the same (mental) effort. Therefore I don't strive for 100% code coverage but I like all critical (or dif

The basic problem is that generally more capacity invites more traffic. This isn't solved with autonomous vehicles. As well I expect more empty traffic. Example: I currently drive to work 20km. As my wife needs occasionally as well, we

The rye breads I make regularly contain 2/3 rye flour and 1/3 wheat flour. This is a "mixed" bread, a real rye bread would contain even less wheat flour. A pure rye bread would be more difficult to bake as it binds water

These companies were in violation of the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz. It mandates information minimization which many fail to adhere to. The problem is more with enforcement, which was (is) weak. GDPR in fact is seen more lax (by our privacy pr
