   All "public" insurers in Germany are private companies as well. They are all required to provide the same level of service and they all cost nearly the same. There are separate private insurers that are cheaper when you're y

   So you are adopting the same world view as dictators and terrorists. At least you’re not trying to justify that somehow “we” still have the moral high ground.

   Thank god all the terrorists wear t-shirts identifying them as such. Also, luckily everyone in the world agrees who the terrorists are, so it's not a problem. Furthermore, it's awesome that governments never use the terrorist labe

   I think you’re not going to win this argument, but I will point out that you can’t look at a giant meadow of grass, focus on a few weeds and say, “see, it’s not grass!”. As a system, science has brought about a better understanding of the p

   Given that there are 5 times as many white folks as black in the US, that stat isn't saying what you think it is. Black people are still more likely to be shot than white people. I don't think that anyone reasonable ever claimed t

   For me the biggest stumbling block is always the inconsistency in the standard library of function calls. Without an IDE, I'd be constantly looking up function names and parameter order. Also, knowing which functions return a result an

   Nice write up. It reminded me of the time I spent several weeks once trying to get OpenBGPD to work on OpenBSD. First I tried getting some test VMs up and talking to each other. When I couldn't get that to work, I setup a few physica

   The problem with your theory is that even in hosted platforms, IT is a cost center. "The real pros" you speak of are also under the same cost pressures as everyone else. I have encountered many such services where after the &quot

    This is an unnecessarily rude response and if you look around, you're pretty much the only person striking such a tone.

    People get offended (even here) at the drop of the hat... Just wanted to clarify that I wasn't being a western imperialist or that I expected the country to adapt to me. :)

    I think you and the GP are using "lower level" in different ways. GP means with a lower barrier to entry, you mean "closer to the electrons" if I understand both of you correctly.

    This is really awesome.. I too love the book Code by Petzold. I was wondering if I could help translate this into German? I have some work colleagues that could really benefit, but I think it would be easier if the explanatory text was Ge

    Just rode the Shinkansen last month from Kyoto to Tokyo. Very enjoyable trip, except (like everything in Japan) at my height and size (190cm/6'3") it was a tick too small. Even in the green car. That, and the annoying foot r

    As an EU citizen, I'll go against the grain here and say that I will indeed miss this service. The idea that google has made "a killing" of news.google.com is just silly. There are, I'm sure, related benefits, but they

    Likely the same thing that happened to all the mills throughout the rust belt. They'll get abandoned. The pessimist in me says that they'll get sold to a new corporate entity which will then file for bankruptcy and the governmen

    Do the call, cover the topics, say "I guess we don't need to meet now." Saying no is hard but we all need to learn to do it. If you're not interested, just say so.

    This is entirely caused because autopilot (Flight Management) systems are complex beasts with minimal feedback and sometimes very subtle interactions. Ultimately the problem here was: ALT mode was selected accidentally ALT SEL mode was sele

    Sure, if you're coming in for a landing, you will dial your autopilot down as you are granted clearance. Ultimately you will switch to approach mode which ignores the set altitude and instead follows the radio signals down to the gro

    Typically/historically, autopilot systems have very few checks and controls, mainly because pilots insist that they know better. Having worked with several autopilots in sims, they are extraordinarily user UNfriendly and unnecessarily

    It does and did. They set the correct altitude. They put the autopilot in the wrong mode.

    Actually no, that's not what was being argued. They state was arguing that the defendant should still be tried on the remaining evidence because they weren't fooled by the prosecutorial misconduct. In essence the defendant shouldn
