If we (theoretically) assume that Facebook actually does listen and use the data for advertising: what would be the legal consequences? Could this become the next Volkwagen?

Well, it's bad that the term has been used in the media. Probably more carelessness than evil intent, but you never now. However, I have never heard it used in schools. German children will learn in school that these camps were German.

It doesn't have to be complicated. A single page app implemented with React, calling some REST Api to retrieve and store its data, is basically all you need.

Not sure if this is the case for most of Europe. In Germany, only a minority enjoys a 37.5h week. The obligatory lunch break is not paid.

Python itself does not have optional typing, only optional type hints. You need additional tools for the type checking, and these tools are in experimental stage.

"Severe anxiety" was probably not the best choice of words. I believe from a Buddhist perspective, anxiety is a pretty basic thing, i.e. it is considered the normal state of the not-yet-enlightened person.

As the Dalai Lama writes, to feel needed is a basic human need. For more and more people, this need is NOT fulfilled. So, no, this is not the best time to be a human being.

If this is true, it is both ridiculous and terrible.

Why do you doubt that? There are quite a few examples.

Related question: Does a REST API make sense for an internal interface? Or is the overhead prohibitive compared to a more specialized interface? (By internal interface I mean: an interface that is used only by the team that created it)

They seem to unblock some threads now (but with comments still locked). Reddit has become a weird place. Where have the normal people gone?

I agree in general, but which of "purity, default laziness, utter rejection of OO" does OCaml have?

Interesting. If you use Bing from Germany (with German UI), it works correctly, i.e. suggests "How I won the war". Which makes sense, as "water" is not a German word...

If you think of a C++ functor as a class , i.e. a factory for function objects, it makes a little bit more sense. (However, that is not the common usage of the word in C++ world. For most C++ guys, "functor" and "function object" mean the
