In germany there are laws regulating the opening hours of businesses such as grocery stores (and separate ones for restaurants). The previous federal law allows for opening between 6 until 20 on monday to saturday. Since 2006 the states can

Edgecases like this is probably why they include the "Unlicencse" license. Afaik, while (edit: In Germany) you cannot actively void your rights on a project (i.e., what they call the public domain model here) you can license it si

According to Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Communist_Party ) the CPC has 91,914,000 members in 2020. Which is around 6.5% of the population of the PRC or around 1.2% of the world population (assuming

According to [1] it placed 13th (of 40) last year with 9.798 crimes/100k inhabitants. According to [2] it was 9th in 2018. Combining the two ([2]also lists the safest 10 cities) I question the impact for the lower parts of that list, a

I could work with it if I was forced to do it, which I was for a few months. If I had to do it for an even longer period, a separate room would probably be necessary. But having a "black space" room is not exactly something I want

I am glad this works for you! Maybe it's because I can't switch my mind so easily, I prefer a physical distance (I don't think a separate room would be enough for me either).

Number one reason for me is the separation of work and private life. It's so much easier to keep work from creeping into my private life when it happens in a totally different place. I also miss the social interactions, discussion with

For me it's also a probability game: If it's good research, it's more likely to be published in an academic venue (and possibly the other way around). So if there are a lot of papers, I will prefer the academically published

While I think net neutrality is very popular, I think there are quite a few people not voicing their reservations against it because of that.

One reason might be that it's much easier to take a law changing the structure of the public broadcasting financing infront of the supreme court than it is to do so with regular budgeting.

Seems like I didn't put enough thought into it and my computability class has been too long ago! In hindsight it's kind of obvious: All functions computed by circuits must be a function an can not be a partial function, because a

After putting some thought into this during a deeper comment chain somewhere, I thought about it this way: FHE is equivalent to circuits, i.e., every circuit has a representation as a FHE. I feel like the idea is: Circuits can perform arbit

Regarding [2]: Xor and And form a basis of all logical operations, while Xor on its own (or And on its own) do not. In GF(2) multiplication is xor and addition is and. So addition and multiplication are enought to build all possible circuit

Comparatively, Cern does a phishing study from time to time [1] and the campaigns are in line with current expectations: People fall for phising, and security training has only a short term effect on phising. Unfortunately I can't find

Arbitrary computation can still be bounded. [1] for example cites the definition of FHE (Def. 9) as a scheme that can compute all circuits, which are fairly powerful [2]. Arbitrary computation is also, afaik, not well defined. edit: After p
