While I agree with your premise of a neutral organisation free speech doesn't work. It never has and never will. The internet has proven that a lawless space should not be tolerated. Nazis, Islamism, rape porn, child abuse, slave sales

The world of school software and educational materials is a dystopian and dysfunctional nightmare. Nearly all a re badly designed, sloe, confusing and built with accidental and intentional backdoors, spyware and software sxpliciftly intende

Palm oil is a nightmare in our food chain. It is horrible for the environment and horrible for the body (an aspect totally ignored in this article). And yet it has become near ubiquitous. Living in a big European city I can for instance buy

For context: medium sized European city will have anything from 12-30 platforms - and often several main train stations and several dozen local ones in the city. E.g. Brussels, Paris or Berlin have several huge stations.

I have zero skin in the game either way, but this is such a sad and dismissive response. At the surface polite and accepting critique, but underneath that putting all the blame on the student that paid a ridiculous 30k for this. Generalise

That's why English works well for professional discussions: the ambiguity is a tool. The obvious case being 'you' and the implied level of formality, but also plenty other words/phrases have a similar effect.

The system in Germany is much less stratified than US, UK or even China. There are few "top" universities if you look at the global rankings, which probably comes from both the lower budgets and the lower incentives to compete on

That lone university is exactly intended to be the only one. No reason to compete if there's no economic reason to compete. They are qualitative, reasonably priced and tend to have good reviews. Sadly the Fernuni is in one way stuck in

Sorry but it looks as if you had a view and then googled articles to back this up. The second article is about IP theft and gives no reason to doubt TSMC's integrity. Nor does it give any reason to think Taiwanese companies are worse a

Slaughterhouse workers are among the most exploited in any country, usually recruited from the lowest paid immigrants, and while some do it for 40 years without issues - or might already arrive with their own baggage -, many end up with PTS

That's like arguing hydroponics will never be more cosy-efficient than a greenhouse which will never be more cost-efficient than a garden. Because the former each uses more energy and speciality materials while the latter each can offe

For me the real selling point of the wyze cams is the free one week cloud storage (for detection event, with 5 minutes cooldown period, not permanent recording). This means I don't need to subscribe to anything and still have a record

Indeed this was a ministerial level conference, the prep meetings are probably more secure and no one would be stupid enough there to share screenshots. At least since Snowden EU leaders probably always assume that someone is listening in.

It is quite a lot more complex than that. I'd say it is a stretch to argue that Germany was to blame for WW1 (post-WW1 Germany was forced to take the blame but the reality was a lot more complex). You can then also argue about the cont
