Honestly it seems like a weird take to say people should care more about strangers than their own family. As long as SUVs exist on the road I feel like it’s a safety benefit for my family to have a similarly sized vehicle to protect my wife

This is kind of hard to do in practice unless you’re really watching where you’re allocating memory. It’s very easy in Java to end up accidentally throwing a bunch of allocated memory on the heap without realizing it. Fwiw, the JVM now has

Low pause collectors exist explicitly for this purpose. ZGC and Shenandoah both trade throughput (more concurrent collections) for extremely low pause times: https://malloc.se/blog/zgc-jdk16

It’s not about that. Even if the US copied German law verbatim Germany would just find some other excuse to harm the US. They can’t compete so they unfairly try to prop up their own companies via regulatory means.

US needs to economically retaliate in kind. If the US has the same data protections as the EU they’d make up some other excuse to attack US companies. This is what happens when you can’t compete you make up regulatory excuses. I’m sure I’ll

Clinical depression has a defined definition and symptoms exhibited need to be present for 2+ weeks at a time. As someone that has been medicated for depression in the past I can tell you that having suicidal thoughts for weeks on end is no

Yeah, I switched to fish about 1.5yrs ago and for me it’s defaults are way better, fish script is way more readable and it’s really easy to customize.

One would think that if there is truly a Europe wide market for such an unlocked device a competitor should be able to challenge Apple and Google dominance. Europe could even subsidize it. But instead, it’s more engineering by bureaucrats.

The thing that’s missing is that Facebook can now exploit people whereas previously Apple was forcing Facebook to act just slightly less shitty. If Facebook can bypass Apple then there is no leverage. Apple was enforcing some baseline of go

This law only serves to tell police how close they need to move towards people filming in order to get them to stop so their abuses can be done without being recorded.

by plandis 4y ago
This was already a right, this law just gives police an ability to harass people filming them if they so desire.

Doesn’t seem any different than accessing public records to see house sale transactions and then going and robbing people who spent a lot on their home?

The US should economically retaliate. GDPR and these other regulations in the EU exist because EU cannot stomach the fact that they got beat on tech and instead of innovating they are regulating to try and even the playing field.

If your decision making process is a negative result tells you nothing and a positive result warrants immediate follow up, what’s the risk here? I’m assuming doctors recommending that women get checked for breast cancer is the primary breas

PBS Eons [1] (history of earth related science) and and Be Smart [2] (general science topics) are also pretty good. Both are definitely more targeted for lay people than SpaceTime however. [1] https://youtube.com/c/eons

Yeah definitely true. I have an undergraduate degree in physics and sometimes I don’t understand the things they are talking about. I still find it interesting and valuable though.

Who defines hate speech? Do you need agreement from 100% of citizens or can a few politicians decide what a country can and cannot say legally before running afoul of hate speech laws?

Disagree. In my experience it’s way easier to use something like fish out of the box rather than spending hours configuring bash to your liking assuming you don’t have your dot files made to your liking yet. If someone is just starting out

Some countries are starting to ban short haul flights. Seems a bit hypocritical to ban flights that would benefit your average citizens but then utilize the type of flight that’s convenient for politicians.

Brussels bureaucrats sure seem like they want to build a moat for the large incumbent companies that startups will have an increasingly hard time disrupting due to increased costs.
