Setting aside the fact that Threadripper is not really a server CPU, it tops at DDR4-3200 when it comes to memory support. Considering the custom build, it seems the most likely option. (As in, why would it use anything slower for no good r

Heh, who would have thought that HDCP would actually be useful for something? (Yeah, yeah, I know -- the authors of the papers did...)

The results you describe sound very much like pre-1989 Czechoslovakia to me. I guess they actually did achieve socialism! :)

Not "could". They're legally mandated in pretty much all new buildings.

Sounds basically like the Apollo lander...only today we have better computers and control systems.

There's a reason why electrification of transportation and low-energy buildings are major topics in Europe. You see them on the top and on the left of your chart, respectively.

There is no battery capacity required for the simple effect of substituting gas power plant operation. Any MWh generated by another source will simply remove the need to generate that MWh from gas, where the price of gas is the dominating c

Winter nights in Germany are the domain of coastal wind turbines. Off to build more wind farms, then!

Germany has the same electricity mix as Germany and it has extremely good SAIDI index compared to all other countries ( https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-electric... ). I guess those Germans are just in

That's a very good argument for the need to build much more renewable capacity in Germany, since that would substitute the burning of natural gas that caused this price increase.

That place is much larger than you'll ever need at the very least in this century (maybe in a thousand years we'll be in trouble, but I imagine that in that era, we'll have completely different issues anyway).

I should hope that eavesdropping anyone is illegal under Polish law.

Actually, I'm not. We definitely had outcome-based (not effort-based) grading for both physical and mental disciplines in my school.

I was referring purely to the "Why would anyone respond to an e-mail" part -- because there's no requirement for such a request to not be an e-mail for it to be valid.

Not necessarily for the purpose of our copyright act. Neither is your personal bank deposit box if you put a book in it. You're not transferring ownership of your belongings to the bank if you put something in it.

But the example you outlined is not regulated by any law as a formal procedure. That's an ad-hoc request. Of course it could also be phrased as an GDPR erasure request, but I bet you'd definitely expect that to be more formal and

by jhgb 5y ago
As per the law, a GDPR data access request may be sent by e-mail, or even delivered verbally. So the form is actually irrelevant.

Yes, perhaps they should have hired real people to do real requests. That would have been a bulletproof way of studying this ethically so your conclusion is moot.

A communication between two entities who are not friends is not "friendly". This is clearly a formal request of a type that is even regulated by a law. You're almost certainly not asking your neighbor about something like thi

Saying on the basis of which regulation you're asking for something just isn't considered a threat where I live, period. People who want to make threats actually make threats. > In your view, what purpose does informing someone

In my country that would be almost certainly illegal. Not even copyright holders can tell you what you can do with your personal copies of copyrighted works, short of distributing them to someone else. By law they're explicitly prevent

OK, that would make sense. That's more likely a party thing where I live (so you wouldn't contact a random MP but someone in an administrative position in the party), but I imagine it's not necessarily the same thing elsewher

Anyone here nostalgic for Dabble DB? That's probably the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this.

It seems to me that your politician needs to be a data controller to do that. It's unlikely that he is one.

No, this would be significant evidence that the average person doesn’t need to be great at math only if you knew for a fact that an alternative universe society with people being better at math had merely comparable societal outcome.

Asserting your rights (which you even say is "a little aggressive, but OK") as per specific regulation is far from being a legal threat where I live. That's just asserting your rights. A legal threat would be far worse. >
