> Theft is never legal; that's why you can be sued. That's incorrect. You can be sued for anything. If it is theft or something else or nothing is decided by the courts.

Yeah. It's well known as a really shitty law, which should never have been passed. But here we are. Maybe until 2050 they fix it or so.

Yeah okay. I could have chosen to die instead. Think that would have been better?

I'm surprised a bit that this seems to be contentious/not already part of normal treatment in the US? Or is the article wrong? Yes, Insulin is the "last line of defense" for Diabetes 2, but at least here in Germany dieta

What do you count as a "minor accident" that requires battery repair or replacement?

That's the reason for the Rundfunkgebühr instead of taxes. Keep it a bit further away from the state to limit its influence.

Control of materials is a far bigger hurdle. If you try to procure materials which can be used for bombs/chemical weapons/.. in significant quantities you will get noticed pretty fast.

No, it's the very good Rundfunkgebühr. Makes sure we still have something besides garbage journalism here. And also, arts & culture like this.

And with which business model? That's the elephant in the room here. If it's only about unpaid developers, Firefox already has these currently in addition to the Mozilla employees, but if it wants to stay relevant it needs paid de

Hamas could absolutely wear uniforms too. But they couldn't hide behind civilians anymore then and that's their preferred tactic. There's a reason one of the most important parts of modern international law on wars - which ha

Imho, that laws the legislative has voted on can just be vetoed by someone who is the head of the executive is the main problem. But this mix of executive and legislative seems to be normal in the US, so maybe my unease is just based on wha

I don't remember the incident where Israel killed 1200 Palestinians on a music festival with unmarked troops. I'm sure Chomsky would find some justification for that too, but that's why the only thing I care about he did is t

Their grievance is that Israel doesn't wait anymore until its killers come and try to kill people there, but has decided to make them go away. How exactly do you think we should address the Houthis grievances? Tell Israel "sorry,

People told them to stop. The Houthis don't want to stop and instead continue to attack others. Mist it is.

Which is the height of bullshit since Confluence uses Lucene internally, which obviously does support stemming (at least it didn't. Luckily, I haven't had to use Confluence for ages). Confluence search is what happens when some de

The compelling argument is that it should be quite obvious that companies do not speak for all of their employees, cause most of them are - to what degree can be argued until the end of time - basically coerced to express the "opinion&

I agree, and for the same reason that people should only use relaxed consistency models for atomics in their code if they really know what they are doing, there really is a need and they have appropriate testing. It's good that the

Thanks for the links! Seems my pessimism got the better of me. I'll look a bit more into it.

Decisions by regional courts are completely irrelevant. They often get reversed by the higher courts, especially in tech cases. Hamburg is more notorious for this, but it's the same for the one here in Munich. Until the higher regional

It's my fault to have brought up the term "veil". To expand where I'm coming from: I think that they even talk about it in the context of energy research is a veil, cause I don't see any way how this will ever be us

If you find a critic who usually aligns with your opinions on what's good about something that's a valid approach. The problem is if you don't have one, cause well, it's all subjective in the end, even if it's from

NIF is thinly veiled fusion weapons test research, nothing more. There's no real intention for advances in energy generation research. If it happens it's more an accident or part of the 'cover'.

Sure, but I know that there have been various proposals for a better number. Different companies just couldn't decide on which proposal they like the best.
