haha yes, the grand seismic risks (economic risk in single digit percentages of the profits available) but not talking about not using them, they are actively and very costly going to fill them with concrete to ensure in the future (even in

Can not see them fuck it up more than my own government spending millions to pour concrete into our own excellent natural gas wells (while selling whatever did come out under market price to other countries), and our neighbors on the east c

Germany has iirc liability for the entire chain (engineers to upper management) in case of data breaches. I remember having to sign for that when I did a project in Germany. Would that help? I would not mind if the CEO/CTO of Odido wou

If it is so important, why are we relying on the US to fund it? Maybe it is not that important? Maybe this program is not a pillar for 'internet freedom', maybe, as we can clearly see, most of the world (including the EU) has no r

I appreciate that, but do wonder, if this is an issue with too much data or how we act on that data. In other words, could there be a future where we do have tons more data, but also use the data in such a way to achieve an overall better o

I have some from my father, but even though he showed me how to use them a long time ago, I never actually used them. I do however encourage anyone with an interest to go to the Arithmeum in Bonn (Germany) if you have the chance. It houses

I see my comment downvoted, and you asking for a citation. I have seen this happen to someone I know very well. And it was quite obvious this is a tactic which they do not hesitate to use. The maximum sentence for certain tax crimes has bee

Great project! It takes a bit of fiddling to get the distance parameter right in some cases, and two possible improvements would be to allow for coordinate input rather than city name so I can point it at a specific spot as the center of th

Can you tell me a bit more on how you use Incus.. is it just personal use, or otherwise? What type of workloads do you run on it, and how is your networking setup / experience?

Not sure, but I have heard that more than plenty in public discourse (NL / W-Eur) and even the repeated blatant lies about the 2015 wave of migration to be due to climate change.

Came here to check if someone already mentioned the Arithmeum in Bonn. :)

Although I also know a handful of (euro) people who do not have Whatsapp, and a lot of the "missing out" can indeed be absorbed as you described. However, lots of people have a need for Whatsapp which cannot simply be ignored by w

I get the point, but myself have no intention of ever sharing a hotel room with anyone I am not comfortable to concurrently use a bathroom with, i.e. my gf/wife. I would much rather see an initiative to show me if a hotel shower has a

A Nazi salute you say? When was that again? I did nazi it. Never mind me implicitly nazi'ing around.. Everybody should do and go about as they please, but we are apparently watching two completely different movies here.

Sad but true. Many such cases as well not only limited to this field. There is a huge scandal in the Netherlands where it has been shown that Tax officials have repeatedly, and knowingly, did unlawful things which literally drove some peopl

How does a preference become fear? I am not afraid of other naked people, but I have had it once too many that certain people in e.g. a hotel sauna (for context, this was in some boutique hotel in Southern Germany) do not respect personal s

Did we really let customer service get so bad that people think this will be an improvement? My gut feeling says this will not transform companies who are bad at customer service to improve, rather the ones that are already bad are now just

Not how progressive tax works, but it is the reality, e.g. in The Netherlands. Once you go over certain thresholds, you lose certain benefits leading to a poverty trap in some sense where the incentives of the system do not align with the i
