I've had this go on for about four months: we were acquired, and although some of our code would be integrated into the acquirer's offerings, our roadmap was of no interest to them, but since we hadn't been legally integrate

I don't understand how that's "the real question". It's a Sparpreis. They fluctuate. You can buy a full price ticket that doesn't fluctuate if you want to.

Since Germany never gained independence from the UK by force of arms, it should be "whisky". This is a joke: given that they only have to fit the two data points of the USA and Ireland, one can make up any number of "rules&qu

You can try. I recently learned that Ethernet-over-HDMI is a thing: now that you know that, you can potentially disable it on the other end of the connection, but lots of people are connecting their TVs to the internet without even knowing.

Most people's lives don't revolve around software. Software is a tool that shouldn't require turning people's lives upside down to work in its way.

I'm earning a lot more than that in Berlin, which is a lot cheaper than Paris from what I've heard. I had a year of software engineering experience when I started, and an MSc in CS in an unrelated specialisation.

Agreed. It takes children about 7 years of intense exposure and practice to become fluent in their native language, and many more years to become really eloquent and quick-witted. Any adult who invests 7 years into intense exposure and prac

The GDPR has been in effect for less than three days, two of which have been weekend. A bit premature to say, "nobody's enforcing this law", isn't it? The cookie banner is different because everyone knew it was completel

Mendel already showed the discreteness of genes, without knowing the structure of DNA, in the 1860s. And I believe Darwin, though not aware of Mendel's work, realised that continuous genes would be a problem for his theory.

If a super-intelligence can interact with you, it can manipulate you; removing some but not all ways it can interact with the outside world is only incremental security. On the other hand, as you say, if it can't interact with the worl

There might be transatlantic flights from Tegel, I'm not sure, but they're rare. Moscow and the Canary Islands are more or less the limits. I usually find myself going through Frankfurt, Paris or Amsterdam for intercontinental tra
