In Germany we have a thing called Ewigkeitskosten ("eternal costs"). That's how we call the expenses that still arise as a consequence from the coal mining operations, especially in the west of Germany. That are things like c

The patient died because of bad IT. The affected software was citrix I think.

Really? That is absolutely not fine. The follow up is the trump quote "We've opened up factories". That has no direct connection to people unable finding masks. So the "ignores that reality" is completely unfounded.

The tone of the article is clearly biased. There was a time when journalism was about facts and not feelings. This is "orange man bad" level

I bought the game. I can't play it now. Also I would have to agree to something I can't read.

It was inevitable after they were bought. Funny how they lied about this up to the last moment still. It's also blatantly illegal. Well the game is readily available at the common piracy sites though.

Go scream at your boss. Dropbox has jumped the shark. Why am I getting red warning signs on my dropbox tray to advertise new features? I'm paying a shitton of money and using less than 1%. Take the money and just be silent. Dropbox is

I mean it's good that they make official what everyone knew for a few years now: sciam is now a political organization.

Usually google and Wikipedia can't wait to get their hands onto censorship, while Bing is at least a bit more liberal. This time it's different.

by s9w 6y ago
Interestingly this time around, Bing and Wikipedia seem to be on the side of censorship, and google now as back then still blasts the name open. Rare teams!

Yes, obviously using the phone network is the better idea. But realistically the goal of these projects is not to create a working system. The goal is to create something "new" to leech money off the federal and EU projects, which

There's been an official response now: The system was overwhelmed because instead of just one nation-wide alarm, several local institutions used the system for local alarms. Which is scary: The number of local alarms was three I read (

Not sure I parse that correctly, but is that supposed to mean there are no brain differences between people of different race or gender?

I do have two links in my "clownworld" link list under, but ironically they're both in reddits that have since been banned and are therefore not available anymore.

In practice however, archive.org did censor content based on political preference.

Full-time job in Germany is also usually that long. But it's an average, not a median.

I remember a blog post by Riot (league of legends developer) also about this happening. But I couldn't find it again when I was searching for it. I can't imagine the havoc that regular bit flips must cause.

Interesting, thanks for the numbers. That would mean that it would probably be feasible to significantly influence the mean refresh times.

That's actually a couple of interesting ideas. I don't think however that 1) is completely correct? As far as I remember from my classes, RAMs are refreshed all the time on very small time scales exactly because they're volat

As unpopular as it might be, but DDG is just a very bad search engine, and always has been. Bing really is the best at the moment IMO.
