You missed my point entirely. I never compared past atrocities as it is unfair to the current generation. What I compare is the current state of affairs. Germany today is giving shelter and free healthcare to refugees but apparently not CEO

Definitely true. Germany made a huge mistake not integrating 1st and 2nd generation Turks better and the 3rd generation is now feeling especially lost as Turkey isn't home and Germany doesn't feel like home either.

Germany doesn't have many black people because Germany didn't import them as slaves and never really colonized Africa. This whole statistic is worthless without context. Like how Germany's first immigrants after WW2 were low

It wasn't incorrect, you misunderstood. npm just uses silly defaults on Linux while using saner defaults on Windows and mac os. I am a Linux user and having to configure npm to use another path for global packages that I use in literal

On Windows npm is using %AppData%\npm by default (which is wrong btw, it should use %LocalAppData%\npm as %AppData% is meant for configuration files). This means I don't require any elevation to install packages for my user without add

Especially since any npm package can execute any code at install time in npm's default configuration. On Linux this is extra juicy since you cannot globally install any package without root unless you explicitly changed the directory&#

Even if it's valid behavior, it's still a breaking change. The function never set this error code before, now it does, and at least 3 large projects are not working anymore.

.NET (Core) has also an issue with this. [0] Apple seems to intentionally break quite a lot of core APIs lately. 0: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/47584

France and Germany wanted both to head the European Central Bank and the European Commission, with both favoring the ECB. France got the ECB position in the end, most likely as part of a deal.

That's what many people are getting mad about. Germany wanted to order from Biontech in July 2020 but the EU convinced them to let the EU order for a better "collective bargaining position". But this isn't the time to ba

The US does currently not allow COVID-19 vaccine exports. Pfizer's plants are only manufacturing for the US while the EU plants are producing for the EU, Isreal, Canada, UK, etc.

On the other hand it's quite sad that we as humanity have already developed two vaccines with 95% (or even higher) effectiveness but are not able (or rather: are too greedy) to share this knowledge to vaccine every human on earth as fa

Apparently only 39% of Americans can afford a $1,000 emergency expense. I'm sure that hiring a lawyer to read over an employment contract does not even fall under "emergency expense" for the vast majority of people, thus maki

Aren't Samsung's QLED TV remotes Bluetooth only? Cutting the antenna would then also disable the remote and a modern TV without a remote is pretty useless.

Why should they really care? They are selling the electricity and access to the grid anyways. Better to sell the shovels than trying to find gold. Investing in an expensive large-scale charger infrastructure could very easily go wrong and t

I'm still missing the long tap on tabs to reorder them. It got removed with the switch to the new addon engine.

I personally know somebody who is currently running a Firefox with 3,000+ (yes, you read that right) tabs as part of their day to day workflow. Firefox just unloads tabs that weren't used for long and cause high memory pressure which i

Nobody would accept interconnected face scanners in every building they walk into but online it's somehow okay.

The UK always got special treatment while they were in the EU. No other country was allowed to come even close. Which made Brexit so much more surprising to the EU.

This fear mongering is absurd. You won't get fined millions just because you didn't delete something by mistake. You will get fined however if you do this repeatedly and deliberately.

WhatsApp's privacy update differed quite a lot between the EU and the US. That alone shows that the big tech corps are careful.

Those "legacy" companies are already selling more EV than Tesla in Norway. Norway taxes ICE to an extreme and was Tesla's PR example where they claimed to be the front-runner. In 2020 from January to October the Model 3 was b

I'm always confused by statements like this. A Toyota runs 25+ years pretty reliably, they have a reputation for being well made. Tesla has large fitting problems with panel gaps, not closing doors, leaky or even loose roofs, bad paint

by foepys 6y ago
If some stories are to be believed then Tesla has sales people that expect Tesla owners to buy a new car after 3-5 years. I don't think that's possible for the vast majority of people. A car should reliably take me for A to B and

There were plans to build huge solar plants in the Sahara desert but all got scrapped partly because of energy storage and transport, and partly because few countries want to depend on energy production in countries with either (looming) ci

Do these numbers factor in pollution from uranium and coal mining and enrichment? For uranium there is also the burden of storing it for a few ten thousand years. You also need to factor in that Germany is exporting more power than it impor

Biontech and Moderna apparently are the only pharma companies with a higher stock price. But this is probably unrelated to the COVID-19 vaccine and more related to the mRNA process.

> freedom of speech does not exist for certain types of speech No country has total freedom of speech, not even the US. Try telling people you will kill the president, even as a joke, and the FBI will come knocking.
