What do people do who have to commute to the city for work? What do you do when you have to buy a few boxes of beer for a party that are too heavy to carry? How do emergency services work?

The EU should introduce a law that requires the sun to adjust to our time, not the other way around. Considering the technical expertise of the parliament members, I'd fully expect it to pass.

Apple are also well in the business for stupid patents, so they know better than to question it.

No, it doesn't question the number. It points out the obvious: that not all of them are criminals, which nobody said - but you implied it. Little racist yourself, eh? However, the chances for members of these families to become crimina

>and from 2000 other ways to kill someone they chose something that's the equivalent of living their business card on the murder scene... This was always about sending a message. For that, it has to be obvious who did it.

He did however suggest that the UK, Dutch and Swiss agencies can't be trusted in this case, which is beyond laughable. It implies that another actor would have tried to kill former Russian agents and UK citizens with a chemical weapon.

I actually think it will hold up quite comfortably, as no court will be able to tell when exactly it starts being gambling.

The box system is exactly the same as before, only that you can see the contents of the next box. It's very easy to implement and, as you pointed out, changes pretty much nothing. The gamble is still there, but not in the box you pay f

No. The companies involved (Arvato/Bertelsmann) get to make their own rules. Facebook doesn't even have a say in this, although they're paying for it as required by the law. They were threatened with fines in the millions (up

See my other post. Hate speech laws are actively used in Germany to manipulate political campaigns. The legal process has been removed and private organizations close to the government get to decide what's hate speech and what's n

Ultimately, most publishers will probably handle it like Valve, who have found a brilliant workaround: Show players the contents of the next box they buy, which makes it not gambling. I hate it, but it's a very elegant solution to avoi

German here. Our government has pressured Facebook to allow private corporations (that of course are close to the government) to delete Facebook content -posts and pages with millions of followers- for political reasons as they see fit. The

The censor ship has long sailed and its first passengers were American copyright shills, followed by European criminals who wanted their crimes to be removed from Google.

What you described is more likely to happen in a society where citizens are used to high standards and these standards can't be maintained. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think most Chinese workers only eat, sleep and work. How wo

Facebook confronts people with their own contradicting behavior from the past and people hate that.

I wish this was only protectionism and stupidity, but you can bet that big producers have been lobbying for this to get more visibility on their shitty content. If there's one thing where the German TV industry equals the American one,

Lying, especially for company profits or personal gains, is easily one of the most toxic and despicable things to do and people who do it so casually don't deserve a lot of respect. So yeah, my real life response to that would be very

No, the improvement comes from reversing the change. Turn things to shit, then take credit for improving them. Really smart move by the UX team.

Almost 7 hours of sleep per night is more than sustainable. There are people who can get along with 5 hours of sleep per night without any impact to their health.

I completely agree with aggressive background killing, because too many apps are abusing their permissions and try every trick in the book to siphon user data at all times. That being said, killing an app that is actively playing audio is n
