Your comment makes no sense. On the one hand you blame "MASS media" (whatever that is to you) and on the other you advocate to use AP and Reuters, where most media outlets get large chunks of their news from. AP and Reuters exist

Or start a war with her own citizens and use hunger as a weapon by destroying infrastructure, farming equipment and blocking foreign aid, creating a famine among millions.

Not necessarily. If the monetary stimulus was like $10,000 per person, it would be totally different than lowering interest rates that mainly benefit the rich that can get even more cheap money now to buy properties off the market.

Funny that you say that, in fact I was waiting for someone to say it, because pay is considerably higher in companies with a works council than without. Tech companies are famous for lacking works councils. You can go to your works counci

Meanwhile in Germany an employer has to provide rooms and resources for a works council (Betriebsrat) to meet and organize, and has to pay all necessary trainings, including all related travel expenses.

The problem is the EU's process which requires all countries to vote unanimous on this. Ireland is vetoing any change to keep being allowed to set their own tax rates and underbid anybody else while still keeping access to the EU marke

This can also be easily experienced with a bicycle. Just push the handlebar forward on one side and watch/feel it tip over to that side instead of the other side where the wheel is pointing to. Just be careful when doing this and don&#

I'm wondering about this, too. There are so many things being redone from scratch that I'm scratching my head about the why. Maybe Microsoft lost so many engineers from the 90s that they don't have the people anymore that und

How far we have come. Nowadays I usually let my notebook hibernate (not sleep) for the night and when I return the next morning, I often discover that I forgot to stop my debugger and it is still attached to my running program. Not even a h

In some jurisdictions is even illegal to sing a song to yourself in public. Copyright around music and film is insane and absolutely detached from reality. Having a copyright for 70 years after the last involved person's death? Because

Other manufacturers have been integrating collision avoidance and breaking assistants for years, even before Autopilot has been a thing. Tesla is not special.
648.
by foepys 5y ago
Tesla compares themselves against all vehicles on the street, including motorcycles, and on all kinds of road where Autopilot would not even work. It's incredibly misleading and pure marketing.

Tesla lost the right to call it Autopilot in Germany. So even courts agree that it is confusing.

Did anybody use Moderna's patents? As far as I know nobody did because Moderna licensed them for a limited time in which nobody would be able to ramp up a completely new production line. Almost always those 0 cost licensing agreements

Lead acid batteries are relatively eco-friendly because they are nearly 100% recyclable, even the plastic casing. Lithium Ion batteries on the other hand currently cause quite a lot of troubles in that department. Manufacturers use the lead

Yes. Electrical fires are not unusual in ICE vehicles. It's extremely rare that the ICE part catches fire by itself.

The difference between the UK and the US version of Kitchen Nightmares is extreme. The US cut puts so much emphasis on aggression that there isn't room for anything else.

That's definitely true but they did a good job supporting their tech once it was released. My company has been using WinForms on .NET Framework for over 10 years now and it's working really, really well. Microsoft even added HiDPI

Even .NET Framework supports this in a limited fashion. Start an application in Visual Studio with a debugger attached, break at a breakpoint, change a line, save, and continue with the new code. No application restart necessary.
