Back then Germany didn't exist quite yet as country. Fugger charged people in Augsburg in Rheinische Gulden.

Hey I live just a street down from there. It's an interesting place and Fugger was certainly one of the more interesting people to grace the face of the earth, though it looses it's charm if you see it on your daily commute.

Will point out that this housing is hardly sustainable, it's paid for from the remainders of Fugger's wealth (he is the richest man in the world, accounting for currency changes and inflation) as well as donations from the church

In theory it is fairly simple, you simply go to a number of locations (greater than 3) and record signal strength. That lets you tell if the sender is farther away or closer. You can run the numbers yourself or alternatively throw it at a c

And when that van is in an accident, people can't call 911 or other emergency numbers anymore.

So why can't I stand my ground for something? That action seems to be supposedly why the US is divided or something?

A customer interfering with the operation of a business is a wide net. If I as an employee see ethical operation as part of business, then a customer being unethical in their behaviour is justifiable. Taking a dump on the floor or being the

For what am I supposed to stand but what I think is right?

by zaarn 5y ago
Cancel culture is indeed "stand for what you think is right". It's simply that the notion of a service contract of any type (be it buying in a supermarket, getting a service from a company or being employed by someone) are al

Well, simple really. The state seized X $ of assets from you and notes as such. After 6 months, they finally get to auction it off, it is now worth X + Y $. Since the state seized X $ of assets, they ought to give back the Y $. They got wha

Cancel culture is both ways. If you ask "is it bad to deny serving someone you don't like" you also have to ask "is it bad to deny getting service from someone you don't like". Conversly, I don't like goog

I don't think the dealer would have to pay the difference in value if it lost value. Otherwise, you'd have to pay for the loss in value of a seized car if it's sold only years later or the loss in value of gold bars seized if

I don't think this would be the case. The government seized "X SEK" of BTC. The government auctioned those BTC off at the end, like they would anything else, and there was BTC left over after that, I don't think there sh

There is a point still, because a star is massively more efficient at fusion by way of "production at scale" effects. The additional benefit is the amount of power. With the power of a star at your disposal, beaming your energy us

by zaarn 5y ago
The 500TW are meaningless, the actual input is around 1.5MJ, meaning they got almost 80% of their input as energy back.

No, case insensitive just means that the filesystem considers uppercase letters and lowercase letters to be the same. You have to be Unicode (or character set) aware for that. You can set ZFS and in newer Linux Kernels for a filesystem to b

I don't believe you can get arrest records for a background screening on a employee like that in the UK (or the rest of Europe). You'd need a damn good reason why you want one so thorough and last I checked, in my country that mea

Both and more. The danger from the beam is limited to a specific energy intensity, otherwise the beam will pass through without depositing much energy (there is ways to calculate this). The bigger dangers are all the atoms the beam knocks o

For experiments, it's not unusual that the actual test is taking place in atmosphere. There is no issue as you can simply put a solid metal cap on the end of the accelerator and the beam will just blast through it with no issue and the

No you just fire it through the wall of the vacuum chamber. When you're going >99% the speed of light a couple inches of metal don't matter that much anymore.

If you ignored a court order or fine, you'd also be sent to prison in Germany (Erzwingungshaft). A quarantine order from the local health office is no less official and binding than that. In both cases, it's fairly limited, usuall

You do not require a GPU for a system, a serial port is sufficient for a terminal and putting code on it.

I'm well aware but I don't think this is an issue here.
