No, they are currently just requiring export licenses "to get an overview". Up to now, all export requests have been granted and there are large parts of the world where no license is required: https://www.tagesschau.de

Paying teachers more is beside the point. A well-paid teacher isn't suddenly a better teacher just because it earns more money. The things we should invest in are more teachers, smaller and more separated classes and better teachers&#x

On teacher selection. In Germany, public school teachers are state officials, meaning they are completely impossible to get rid of (even after some kinds of criminal convictions). We literally had a teacher who wasn't allowed to teach

Of course higher intelligence is a privilege, as is higher sportive ability and other attributes given to you from birth. This includes your own personal attributes as well as the privilege that comes from your family's wealth and stat

While I agree with the article about the problems of profit-driven schools, the whole situation (and the article in parts) points to a imho bigger problem in most education systems: Profit-driven schools cater to the more able, easier to ed

By building a neat box with few buttons on the outside and still the same or more complexity on the inside. If something goes wrong, you still have to deal with all the inside parts. The only hope is that the few outside buttons only trigge

Well, from that issue from 2020-12-24: "--ipv6 has not landed yet", so you cannot assign static external v6 adresses to a container. No activity on that bug since. There is tons of stuff in docker that works automatically, where i

Even less IPv6 support than docker. With docker you can at least get it to work somehow, even if it is totally different from IPv4, weirdly. Podman just has no IPv6 support to speak of.

I didn't mean to say the EU should enforce a timezone. The EU didn't get involved at all after the decision to get rid of DST. Not even by providing guidance or suggestions for the new timezone layout. Usually when there is someth

Exactly. Miners will decide to continue mining. Probably in just the right amount such that inflation/deflation is controlled enough to create sustained profits for them. Thus basically acting like a central bank.

Oh, you are right, sorry. The Baltic states, Finland and Greece are UTC+2/3

The EU is currently one timezone for most of its area, the whole continent excluding Portugal (edit: and Finland, Greece, Baltic states) has the same timezone. But actually it should be 3 or 4 timezones if you want to be close to solar time

Yes, but then it isn't a service, it is a locally running piece of software that can be included in chromium.

Those popups are not only necessary for cookies but for any kind of tracking that requires consent, e.g. all tracking for purposes of advertisements. So if you do browser fingerprinting instead of setting cookies, you still need that popup.

If it is a service, Google will be sent all of my browsing history. That sounds like a very bad idea that hopefully will get shot down.

I guess for small shops, a steady stream of income to pay a support person's salary is more important than the benefits of hourly billing like fairness and possible higher income.

I think the chances that it is unsafe are zero. Someone in the UK would have noticed by now, they vaccinated quite a lot of people. The interesting question that needs to be answered is: to what degree does it work, and for which groups? Of

Problem is, the platform is a vector virus that causes immunity against the vector. So while you can create a new vaccine for the variants, you either cannot reuse the vector or you can't vaccinate old-variant-vaccinated people against

The AZ data is often considered to be somewhat dodgy, e.g. with dosages mixed up, patient groups selectively joined or split up for p-hacking purposes, etc. I can understand the US wanting a proper study under their own oversight.

How the empire is organized internally is beside the point for the trade policy mostly. And yes, my comment is a little euro-centric in that central asia had some states and countries along the silk-road where not every stop along the trade

The grandparent is a naive oversimplification. Most things that aren't just very trivial CRUD do have irreducible complexity, that cannot be encapsulated away. Also, making notes doesn't help there, notes that were written need to

That is true, but changed over time with the changing local political climate. Back in 2004 Angela Merkel was still strictly right-wing anti-immigration, later she drifted more and more left and pro-immigration.

I'm not so sure about that. E.g. there aren't any German truck drivers and trucks anymore, just companies and drivers from eastern europe, because it's cheaper. Similarly for lots of jobs in agriculture, construction and some

Back in the good old empire days, openness to trades meant letting tradespeople in at all. Others just forbade traders to cross the border, in a closed way like nowadays maybe North Korea. The "openness" consisted of accepting tra

The EU cannot make it any easier. Not because it wouldn't be possible at all, just that it would be suicidal for the EU or its politicians for several reasons. There are tendencies in several members to leave the EU or at least get rid

Yes, anything can be weaponized. The question isn't if something can be used as a weapon, it is if that thing also has good and proper uses beside as a weapon. Antidisinformation is just a different word for counterpropaganda which is
