Those are some rookie measly numbers.

FTFY

I counted 68 so far, but I fell asleep in between, so I may have missed some. I am also starting to believe, the cats just go back inside to jump out again.

It would be weird if the protests had a big effect on the predicted votes. Who would be all for the AfD and then suddenly go “yeah well, I changed my mind now”?

The protests should mainly convince the government to finally start the process to ban the AfD.

Also new people are still motivated to change stuff. They are not yet worn down by bureaucracy.

4 million.

2 million would be 1%.

That is - IMO - what critical thinking is meant to be … thinking about alternative explanations and evaluating their viability or probability.

Unfortunately a lot of people use the term “critical thinking” as just another way to rationalize why they are against something, without actually weighing the options.

Dark humor is like food… not everybody gets it.

Where comments are useful most is in explaining why the implementation is as it is. Otherwise smart ass (your future self) will come along, rewrite it just to realize there was indeed a reason for the former implementation.

There is a parking garage right under that market. There is a large street right beside it as well. In a radius of 500m there are at least 3 other large parking garages.

I think it’s technically still there… hidden behind custom fronts.

I am a prime number; I can’t even

Google had deals that were revealed. For example Spotify was exempt from paying those 30%.

So if I put a movement sensor that triggers a light in front of a jewish household, they couldn’t leave on sabbath because their movement would trigger a fire?

One problem is that they need to put a price tag and therefore a timeline on such a project. Due to the complexity and the many unknown unknowns in theses decades worth of accumulated technical debts, no one can properly estimate that. And so these projects never get off and typically die during planning/evaluation when both numbers (cost and time) climb higher and higher the longer people think about it.

IMO a solution would be to do it iteratively with a small team and just finish whenever. Upside: you have people who know the system inside-out at hand all the time should something come up. Downside of course is that you have effectively no meaningful reporting on when this thing is finished.

It only needs to work long enough for the current management to cash in on their savings. Then it’s their successors problem.

I can still throw away my fire tv stick then. At the moment it still does the job I bought it for and I won’t produce unnecessary garbage for something that might happen in the future.

You can btw “simply” opt out from this in the settings (look for “featured content” and disable it).

Yes it should be opt-in, but it’s not that hard to keep the fire tv (stick) being a good device for the price paid.

“Honey, can you bring me the medium sized one from the kids pile? You know, the one with the blond hair? I want to bring her to school today. Oh and have you seen my car keys perhaps?”

Mind-sharing would be really nice.

As a kid another kid regularly bullied me. Nothing extremely serious… pushing me, grabbing me, putting me in a headlock, stuff like that whenever he felt like it and/or wanted something. Parents and teachers were not able to stop it and I basically just got retaliation. One day when he came at me I simply kicked and managed to hit right in his balls. He ran away crying. Never bothered me again afterwards. Still feels good.
