The key phrase here is "Person öffentlichen Interesses" or person of public interest. It is a reasonable compromise that has worked adequately so far.

Rumors about this have been around for a long time but as far as I know, nobody has proven anything. The safest guess right now is that if an American intelligence agency wants to infiltrate your corporate network, they'll take the IPM

It also sheds some new light on the "China-hardware is bad for you" media campaign that was run right before Snowden happened. It seems that not buying American means keeping the American intelligence community out of ones network

What bugs many of us feed reader users, though, is that Twitter and Facebook (as well as most other wall or stream based content aggregations) are very bad at information management. One thing is the singal-to-noise ratio, but another is th

As a frequent player of Twilight Imperium I want to add a caveat to your comment: _DO_ play Twilight Imperium, but please be aware that you need a place to set it up where it can remain for a week or so in order to finish the game in multip

It is so depressing to be in tech here in Europe. Last week it became finally and unambiguously clear that we can't even rely on services by local subsidiaries of US-owned companies any more without breaking our EUropean privacy laws[1

Good luck with your move to Berlin! It might interest you that there are many car-sharing schemes operational in Berlin, so that you can go completely car-less, even if you have to cover a large distance or transport something every now and

So imagine you are a person that stopped browser hygiene during a few months while finishing their PhD and now _still_ carries around about 900 open tabs waiting to be sorted into bookmarks and junk. (Yeah, that's me.) I have to re-sta

Here is some context on the relationship between Mathias Döpfner, Axel Springer and Google. Axel Springer Verlag successfully lobbied the German government to write a law that creates a "Leistungsschutzrecht für Presseverleger", w

Even if it was that vocal minority that stopped Real Names, there were a lot of problems ahead for Google had they continued to enforce it. Take the EU for instance. It might well be possible that, given Google's dominating position in

Over here in post-everything Europe, young people today unfortunately don't have much to rebel against. It might not be good for teenagers if our society drifts towards a situation where rebellious actions are either shrugged off by ev

It might not be reasonable, but there is an explanation. It's been a while since I heared the podcast but Planet Money explained something along the lines that all the American banks are invested in an old, inefficient system of proces

The question is: Is the payoff worth it, considering that entire countries are currently "conditioned" to obtain Game of Thrones by illegal means? Many people speak of Australia, but take Germany as another extreme example. HBO do

Also, Firefox is still number one here in Germany, where this issue was a non-story. Over here and in many other places, person and office are considered independent unless the personal opinions are directly pertinent to the office in quest

Thank you for thinking about and alleviating the memory usage problems. Firefox has seriously improved in this regard and now runs decently even with pathological numbers of open tabs (Yeah, I know.).

Dickish and credibility-burning I'd say. The reason that he's described as controversial and difficult is that some people still can and want to connect with him due to his technical expertise. If that repeatedly becomes subject t

I'm not touching this one with a ten foot stick. For me this is the perfect pairing of the Eich madness with the Bush years. It would be funny if top brass at the NSA noticed this and decided to use it in the future as a tool to sow di

I'm on the fence about this. I really want it not to be true, but on the other hand my track record with wishing away unpleasantness is abysmal. The way in which the text is written would have raised full tinfoil alert only two years a

The anti-vaxxers exist because children are not an issue that 20-somethings spend much mental cycles on. Then, when they suddenly have them, there is a lot of life-upsetting changes, misleading information and confusion. If you don't h

Also, in my experience, moving is expensive. At least if you want to take more stuff than fits into a suitcase. Another thing that bugs me about the moving advice is this: It is good advice for an individual or a family, but it becomes extr

It is, however, reasonable to assume that "they" are as smart as we are, so "how would I do it" analysis is quite called for.

This decision has immediate consequences for us here in Germany. As our own constitutional court ruled that the law implementing the directive was invalid, we did not have a data retention law for some time now, since lawmakers wanted to wa

I was rather sympathetic initially, but the campaigners lost me completely when they went after Firefox. That is just the dumbest precedent they could have possibly set. Because the important question is: What will be the next technology to

Complicated issue, don't knee-jerk. These countries were heavily colonized while part of the Soviet Union, so the "native" population is scared that the Russians might decide to "rescue" the Russians living there or

Your quote is fantastic, as it brings to light an important point: Language is an extremely important motivator for destination selection. The list contains the UK and France, but not Germany or the Netherlands.

That's a bit unfair, though, as Washington State is an internal subdivision. That's like asking an American where Galicia is (either the Spanish or the Ukrainian one). And the US will not actively intervene in the Ukraine, since N

It is human not to be an expert on everything, so I'd say the people that clicked Kazachstan, Belarus, the Black Sea and the like should be forgiven. Also, there are certainly a number (below 5%) of clicks that resulted from accident o

The number could be significantly higher, since genetics might not be the limit at all. The true question is how many people it takes to maintain the complete production line of our computers, from dirt and water to boards and chips. Anybod
