You can't build on top of any US-affiliated services like Akamai before getting consent. The cookie banner was presented using Akamai, so (naturally) it was done before getting consent. Consent about data processing can be done by thir

I'm very pro-privacy, but I think you made a valid point. Just adding my opinion as a voice. If I understand your example correctly, you refer purely to the point of view of a citizen, not a company. In that case, I think you are right

He did significant help in showing a major war crime that was covered up. That is, without doubt, more important. As a journalist, you sometimes have to jump a fence - that is generally, and legally, accepted. Else writing 'do not view

A virus is introduced just to see if/how much it gets attacked. This correlates with the efficiency against the real virus, inside a human. It has nothing to do with the introduced virus being more or less contagious.

I have no idea why you believe a third dose is just marketing. It is plainly obvious that immunity decreases over time, as is the case for all vaccines against flus and similar. A booster is the normal way to handle it. If there were a way

I don't know about others, but in Vietnam this is the case. It was the universal go-to tool for everything, used by anyone, both countryside and in the city.

It's not that easy I'm afraid. Chinese products were great quality until ~50 years ago, when quantity over quality became a thing.

I don't know much about this topic, but: Please do not use that guy as an example in your earlier post if he is not a good example. It made it sound to me as if your goal is to convince, not to lead others to truth. Instead, just point

You mean 2-3mm I assume. That's a common size here in Germany, too. Ticks in Germany are no longer than about 1 cm when saturated, at most. An inch sounds incredible to me - probably a different species?

I recommend mass vax and this point is one of the main points I use. But I agree with you that sadly, this danger is not well known.

I agree that Apple's system adds a lot of value. And that's why I believe it can and should compete with other systems. There should be no problem with informing users about other payment options both in- and outside of an app. Bu

I don't think it's entirely false. NCMEC is not a regular non-profit. They have special clearance to do things that regular citizens and non-profits are not allowed to do.

I think you've misunderstood the slide. It says: If we do no other mitigations other than wearing masks (3 variants in the graph), this is what happens. If additional stuff is done, then the risk goes down. It does not say how much, ma

I thought it was common knowledge that the US (esp. industry) for years collaborated with Nazi Germany? Near the time they entered the war, the US propaganda machine worked hard to erase the fact. They were successful, especially after winn

One gives you a chance to win when you are skillful. If you are skillful enough, you will win eventually just by chance. The other may never pay out even if you are 100% accurate. This is a big difference.

The comic is still accurate and always will be. It's just a mathematical law, even though it uses a popular display of it. What you are wondering about is the size of base of the exponentiation. Let's look into that. If you use in

True in principle, but afaik the income is usually estimated (it is not measured precisely) a lot lower than its true value for wealthy persons. Still a better idea better than fixed fine amounts, of course.

I don't know about chess, but in the similar game Go, the very best centaur teams were at a similar or maybe even slightly higher level than engines until recently. This was due to cheese strategies, details of the rulesets and better

Correct me if I'm wrong, but were the now common numbers not imported in the same order from Arabic, which writes right to left? So numbers were invented in little endian, and we just forgot to translate their order.

That is all well and good, but did you consider that it would mean that your house would become tainted with the poority of someone who cannot even afford to not live in it? Who knows if it's infectious? It would become a cheap second-

I don't see how this is related. Being rude in tone, and wasting someone's time, are different things. You make it sound like they are the same. But the opposite of what you propose is true. The maintainers are annoyed by others w

Agree. Since these researchers did not even ask him, they did not fulfill even the most basic requirement. If, and only if, he approves, then we can talk about who else needs to be in the know, etc.

I don't agree. I think some people are just too lazy to think of a good, funny joke that may or may not be offensive to some, but that in any case does not make anyone truly worried. These did and still do exist.

In case that was not a troll... This statement is absolutely wrong. You make it sound like everyone is being rational all the time. Scams are at a similar level of credibility and they do work very well in practice. If I'm told I won&#

Surely such a system would add more causes of failure than it could alleviate. I mean, you literally want to decrease the bond between engine and wing.
