How long until we find out that Google adservers and tracking can not be blocked in the new API? Who really thinks a whole professional team of developers goes and neuters adblockers for nothing? Let us not be naive.

I always wonder how much of the scarcity is supply+taste vs. conspicious consumption. I personally would't pay a lot for caviar of any sort, even though I tried it quite a few times.

I am not going to engage with concentration camps and organ harvesting, but I would have enough links and even official reports on the validity. It is - as you said - not even a thing the CCP even denies in the first place (and the path fro

Why can't you imagine anyone do better? It is easy to see all the good things that happened in China in the last decades, and see the things that work. But I can very easily imagine a better government in China, much like I can do so f

I always thought it odd that a team like ElementaryOS with a clearly defined "ethical code and goal" would choose Medium, which is an anti-consumer and anti-privacy company (e.g. try accessing Medium on a mobile phone with a small

Whenever you want to watch or continue a show, the link and continue watching is hidden far down the page. When you want to discover a new show, Netflix shows you mostly shows you already watched and voted on. During all this, you are const

Here in Germany we have a similar issue in some of these project areas. They are called "Angsträume", translation is "spaces of fear". Dark, secluded spaces, staircases and so forth, where people feel unsafe.

I think in two senses. First, reception by audiences such as tourists. What is on their vacation photographs? Boulevards, or high rises of Italie 13? Second, by the people who live there. The Olympiades never attracted the successful young

Ah now I get what you are saying. Okay so remember this was all subconcious, but I think I added the articles since "Les Olympiades" seems like a whole name. Just "Olympiades" makes less sense since that could have diffe

Honestly? Because I am not French and I just wrote very thoughtlessly. Sorry, no further reasoning behind it.

Ah sure. So it's basically one of these concepts of what a modern city should be. You have cars and traffic completely underground, on top a relative open area with shops on different levels and high rise buildings for living (as to h

One difference between Haussmann and others is that his buildings turned out to create one of the most beautiful cities in the world. In contrast, 20's century urbanism projects - even on a smaller scale - are almost always considered

I am one of those guys who were "left behind". I used to code in ASP and PHP back in the day, and that approach made a lot of sense. You'd have things that run on the server, and then those things throw out a website for the

Not at all, the Koran is written in the context of Arabia at the time. This is not a matter of interpretation, the book itself references local customs and laws. Therefore, our understanding, the practice and everything else in Islam is cru

Let's not forget that the Islamic world was key (though not alone) in preserving our scientific and cultural knowledge. At that time, Islamic society was quite modern and tolerant - and even often the destination for persecuted religio

Isn't swap the standard configuration? I did not set up this server, but I don't see why it would not have swap. Nevertheless, this problem occurs. I'll check. I know the solution is to never use more memory than I have RAM,

I think that's not that bug at all. When memory runs out, the entire system stalls, including the UI, but nothing crashes. If these issues are frequent, the system is basically frozen. I have this in Matlab on Linux. Matlab can actuall

This exact bug has been a huge issue for me when I am developing with Matlab. Those are large simulations. Things get swapped around and memory is often close to the limit. Linux then becomes unresponsive, and basically stalls. Theoreticall

In the last winters it barely snowed in Berlin, so I know quite a few people who kept riding their bikes all through the year. Of course, use your head - if it is damp and then below zero, be careful. Common sense, really. If all fails, pub

Istanbul these days is a tragedy, at least it feels like it. One of the three greatest cities in human history, and so many signs of "almost making it back". But now, everything has the stench of moving into the wrong direction. S

I can't really think of any Huawei ad that would "go over well in Canada" right now, so the title is not at all misleading.
