Absolute non-story.

Every sensible government has recommendations like this. Not because of some evil conspiracy or impending doom, but simply because natural disasters sometimes happen.

Sometimes, there's a flood and supermarkets can't be stocked. You don't want food riots just because baked beans or out of stock for a week.

It's astounding to me how many people (including op) lose their shit, just because their government reminds them, that sometimes bad things happen. A mandatory health insurance doesn't mean government goons will go around and break your legs.

You seem to have a much too positive view of our system: https://www.das-parlament.de/inland/bildung/wie-gerecht-ist-das-deutsche-bildungssystem

It's called exit capitalism. They hope to create enough hype so they can sell off their share to the next idiot for a higher price.

I'm not sure, a bullet in the head is - among all the others - one of the better ways to go. Maybe preferably at 70, not 17, but still.

It's actually astounding, how weirdly unmaintained Windows is in many areas. Just look at the settings chaos. There are three completely different settings trees, and at least for me, it's impossible to know which one to choose for a given task.

There's constantly stuff going on in the background for no reason and updates take forever and require 7 reboots. That's not okay.

There's barely any pressure to extinguish "bad" traits, though.

If you're the idiot who eats every berry you can find, cavemen can't save you and your genes disappear. Modern medicine can and will save you, so you can create offspring and the berryeaters keep their proud heritage alive.

Now, what is considered "good" or "bad" is of course highly debatable, but currently we have effectively no survival pressure, the only selection is how many children you get.

As a German, his speeches are not dumb or incoherent as Trump's, but they are really that good either. Basically constantly screaming and a very weird cadence.

Messagewise, it's pretty close, though. MAGA and Deutschland über alles are not that different. Actually, making Germany as great as it's been before Versailles was kind of the entire point of the Nazi party (and of course The Jews™ were responsible for all of that ).

I could see those as an option for rural areas without much traffic. A full train might not be economical, but a small pod is. It could transport people to the closest proper train station where they can hop off.

But that would mean you'd have to maintain a ton of tracks for a handful of people.

(((THEY))) don't want that, though!!!!

Taking jokes from a TV series about Aspis too seriously has to be meta humor.

Nothing can replace the blubbery taste of whale oil unfortunately.

As an egg replacement in cakes it works okayish. Roughly one or two tablespoons per egg, but it of course depends on what you're trying to achieve.

You're pretty much stuck at whatever style was cool when you're 20-30ish. So your parents are probably stuck at around the time you were born.

Well, we have already.

The Internet was designed to be resilient against nuclear war. Most protocols are resilient, it's just been the last few years that some companies abused their positions (Cloudflare, Google) and it also came to light, that some protocols have been designed with a tad too much trust (BGP, SMTP).

Rather the wrong ones.

95% seem to be essentially professional box tickers. They don't care about security, but only about process compliance. As long as the scanner finds no CVEs, the app is secure.

I want people who actually know, how I can improve my code. I'm pretty sure I screwed up security stuff, but will never know.

And then - poof! - all the evidence disappears!

I'm starting to wonder, do you have to be willing to rape women to become famous or does fame make you a rapist? It seems like half of the celebrity sphere has some form of allegation against them.

It's not even the training. It's the extraction of the raw data.

You now store PII, that the clients can't delete anymore (which in itself is a violation) and then do "something" with it. Whether it's for AI or word counting doesn't matter. You store PII that is not under the control of your clients anymore and you store PII without the P whose I could be used to I them having ever been informed.

Also, whether AI training is actually legally anonymization is still up to debate, as far as I know.

747s are designed to lose an engine in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and still be able to return to land safely. Literally.

90m isn't ideal, but perfectly fine.

The entire gdpr. You can't repurpose user data after the fact, and that includes the purpose of usage, but also the parties the data has been shared with. All these cookie banners have to state clearly "we're using this data from you and we're sharing it with these partners".

I'm pretty sure, that hardly any company lists Slack in their cookie banners or ToS. Thus, sharing any personal data with slack is forbidden. Usually, that was overlooked, because it's somewhat dubious if slack can be seen as actually "using" the data by just hosting whatever someone posts in a private message, but this announcement makes it very clear, that they intend to use this data.

Come to Germany then.

German uses generic masculine grammatical gender and the state of Bavaria just banned the practice of "Gendern", meaning use both forms (male and female).

So you'd have to be referred to as male pretty much always.
