As others said, the dutch term is probably different. Their (bad) legal argument was. He refused to follow work instructions, hence he did not perform his work as required, hence we can fire him "op staande voet" which is an on th

Why has apple bucked this 20 year trend for iPhone charging? Much progress has been made, but never at this place. For a long time, it has looked like they will, but they never did. The EU finally got impatient and decided this mandate was

The idea would be a fixed price for an upvote. Not to create a market, but for two other advantages. It creates a cost for bots and hence a cost for massive spam campaigns. And it creates compensation to the system for processing and displa

Even if you require ID, the internet will always feel less personal. This started because of anonymity, but it could very well be embedded into the culture by now. Just because we feel that 'things on the internet do not count'. T

And then, he returned a rocket from space and had it land vertically. Heck he's doing it consistently, and even synchronized on occasion. Musk is a flawed dude, but the physics behind space-x aren't his weak point.

Except that you can limit to 1 upvote per account, and use (centralized) moderation to handle sybil attacks by removing upvotes with discretion.

The timing simultaneously with the new Polish-Norway pipeline makes me suspicious. Besides, the US needs Europe to stay on the Ukrainian side. Most likely thing to push Europe away from support is needing Russian gas. Threatening Europe&#x2

The only believable explanation for the attack on Nordstream I have heard so far is this threat. That is, the supposed idea is to make Europe wonder if any other pipelines could be targets.

We do need to be careful about medical data sharing. It has risks. However I doubt there are any (or any meaningful number of) cases of doctors and medical data-sharing actually causing stigma or economic penalties. That is outside of the &

I never saw rational trigonometry, but I imagine it is mathematically overkill in another sense. When calling `sin` or `cos` in code you get back a rational approximation to the presumably irrational answer. From what I quickly gleamed, usi

This makes a lot of sense when you are expecting to take derivatives, integrals, or use complex numbers. In cases outside of that, radians lose their advantage over turns.

There is one defining difference between us, and aliens that visit earth. They managed interstellar travel, we did not. That inherently puts them at an advantage to us. Definitely a technological advantage. Hence it makes sense to assume (w

We should reject tools that only help us understand code that we are writing. Put differently, we should avoid relying on functionality that isn't present in most places where we need to understand code. Hence, static analysis should b

Those functions get more annoying when debugging though. Because now you have to jump to the body of the function to see if it really does what it says. And you view the body out of context so it is harder to see if there is a wrong assumpt

I thought that censoring speech in privately owned public spaces was fine. It's only when a government censors speech that the first amendment kicks in. I do, as it happens, believe it is a problem that Twitter censors so much speech w

Why is a for profit corporation the right instrument here? It seems to me that wanting to join together for political speech doesn't need a profit motive, since there is another motive. Does America not recognize provide any manners fo

I agree it's the sane answer. But I don't think these engineers are incompetent. They lacked direction, accidentally followed worst practices, and _still_ came out on top. I would say they are good engineers but perhaps bad projec

This is more reason for the gradual approach. Bringing source control, testing, and separation of dev and prod environments, makes things safer and will speed up work pretty soon by making the people much more comfortable to actually try th

One big downside of 5.1 is that you now have 6 speakers to place all around you. Depending on the room and layout, that can be hard to impossible to do without looking ugly, or even to do at all.

I have argued similarly, based on comparisons with editorial decisions of newspapers in the days of yore. You could pick which opinions were amplified or shunned by picking your newspaper. On Twitter, you are stuck with the decisions made b

The actual law is called "tijdelijke wet ...". That doesn't mean the sentiment change behind the law isn't permanent, and it might (but I don't believe so) be a temporary law that is extended indefinitely. But the l

I think its a better excuse, because I believe the danger of terrorists / danger to children are exagerated, whilst I believe the danger of Chinese hacking is much more real.

Sure, they could probably run operations without authorization, or with larger scope than the given authorization. But it would need to be quite a large conspiracy requiring quite a bit of lying and hiding. I think generally speaking these

What's interesting is the justification for this change. It is not the typical "oh no terrorism" or "think of the children". Its specifically "nation states with an offensive cyber programme" (e.g. China,

What surprises me is that I as a dutch citizen working in cyber security, have heard nothing about these new laws. Maybe I've been neglecting the right sources, but this change feels (up to now) very under the radar and uncontested. I

Is it the business processes that make a company successful, or is it the product, employees and business culture that make a company successful? If its the former, than conforming to SAP is giving up what made you good. But if its the latt
