I wonder why this hasn't been solved by some kind of a law which would apply to not only Mastercard a long time ago?

Hm, perhaps you're right, it was some time ago I used a Mac, sorry for the confusion. There was something with Emacs also which was weird on the mac with modifier keys but I don't exactly remember what.

There is a difference though, if I want to know something then I search for information, I go from one shop to another and do research to discover the best product. Which is kind of a pull mechanism. What advertising does is a push mechanis

How am I wrong that ads are a 0-sum game for the society? Perhaps I'm ignorant, but I really don't see where the value is for society. I understand that it's not for the advertiser, but for society?

Because of how the German school system is build (Hauptschule, Realschule, Gymnasium) and me migrating to Germany at 11 years of age without the knowledge of the German language, I had to do it differently and attend something like Gymnasiu

Really? At least for ads which track the click I am almost certain that I can say that I never have. I've been using AdBlock since the very early stages when it was available and even before I actively avoided clicking on ads. It might

I agree and also pay for YouTube, Thunderbird (donations) and a couple of podcasts (via patreon) which do not have ads. Interestingly mostly american podcasts have ads, the German and Swedish ones don't.

Yeah they do, I've seen https://www.worlddata.info/iq-by-country.php linked in discussions about if Germany should welcome refuges from Africa for example. And the gist was that while getting Asian high achievers is a

For me it's (just) a way to log in into YouTube, I have a coupple of lists there which are nice, and I also use it for the Play Store on my phone where I bought 2 apps which I use, so I guess those would be gone too. Otherwise I don&#x

That doesn't have to be true. I forgot to invite the guy who sits left of me at work to my 40th birthday, because he does not have Facebook. I coordinated the whole thing on Facebook because "everyone has Facebook". And it di

The German language is superior in this regard because there it would we either "peanut, butter" or "peanutbutter".

It might also not be the editing but just the content and framing, etc. It's quite obvious that the person who took those photos were a professional (street) photographer(s). If you're not one, it would be expected that your pictu

I was, but I lived in east Silesia in the south which had the best infrastructure of Poland because of the coal mines and a lot of industry. As far as I remember only really old farmers still had horses. My parents once borrowed our neighbo

Damn, those pictures really show my childhood (I'm born 1978 in Silesia which then already was part of Poland). I was on a used car marked like that with my dad, my parents had the same car as those people with the pigs in the car, my

But more often than not it's not the parents or phycologists/physiatrists wrong doing which leads to someone doing something awful. How would you even determine that?

I agree that programming is something which totally sufficient can be taught in vocational schools, no need to do that in university. My brother never went to university and he is a much better programmer than me when it comes to specific l

It seems to me that you equal Computer Science to Computer Programming. The later is just a really small subset of the former, and like you write most people already know how to do it before they attend University. In my CS studies we never

Shouldn't it be quite clear to us right now that this theoretical assumption never worked because we have limited resources on this planet?

I find the picture they're showing also quite confusing, my guess is that they're using some kind of a hardware hypervisor and that runs different VMs.
