I've never run, willing or knowlingly, an android phone that has not been de-googlified as my main phone (since my n900 died in 2012 ... I miss it ). For my purposes, that works out well, there are, within reason, replacements for all

What a warped worldview. I´m on board with criticizing universities and foundations that have so much money around and the elitism that promotes. But this reads like someone desparately trying to point fingers. Take this: > That means Am

Is what you are describing not what they call "event-sourcing" ? Just keep a log of all the events that have already happened (crucial - I have seen "event logs" that were more like "request logs") and to fin

Germany is a really bad example though. The German way is to pretend racism just doesn't exist - today is the aniversary of a racist, arson attack that happened in 1994 killing 7 people (one of them pregnant) where the official line is

Incidentally and apropos to the subject at hand, McNeil's apology is a pretty good one: “I was asked at a dinner by a student whether I thought a classmate of hers should have been suspended for a video she had made as a 12-year-old in
