There’s a difference between consensual OTA updates (meaning the bus company would manually need to confirm the update) and non-consensual OTA updates (meaning it is done regardless of the bus company’s wishes).

The Chinese buses are capable of the latter which is a gigantic security vulnerability. You do not want any operating system anywhere to update itself without consent.

Do you need any grounds for appeal?

Couldn’t they just appeal regardless and e.g. argue the judge didn’t take this (in their view) mitigating factor sufficiently into account for sentencing?

Torrenting for commercial use is probably worse, legally speaking.

If you are in power, your gender becomes irrelevant.

Why else would a fuckton of oppressive monarchs be women?

Sure, but misspelling historically significant names is a pretty bad sign for any flavor of science really.

I’m pretty sure Brits would want to stone me if I called that apple guy Newdon.

If any paper contains these misspellings of Feynman, Einstein or Hawking I would consider them at best sloppy writers.

Not OP, but my (German) bank supports the Digitales Bezahlen App with GrapheneOS. I used it exactly twice, both times because I forgot my wallet at home.

Is “tgg he stay” an auto-miscorrected variant of “that is still”?

Das ist K&R C, du Banause!

Sure, but the same can be said about pretty much anything. If I were to get bone cancer in my left arm, I’d rather have had it amputated when I was a baby than today. Recovery always sucks.

Nope, the treaty with Ukraine (purposefully) never specified consequences for anyone violating it. It only said (I’m paraphrasing here because I don’t want to look it up) that the signatories will respect Ukraine’s borders.

The US respects this treaty still and doesn’t recognize Russia’s claims to Ukrainian land. The lack of specified consequences for anyone violating it makes the treaty nearly worthless.

Signing “I will respect your border” is very much different from “I will defend your borders”.

The UK had a defence treaty with Poland though. Had this treaty not existed, the UK would’ve probably done nothing.

The UK didn’t start the conflict, it was Germany who forced them to act or lose all trust in upholding international treaties.

I think it can apply to the most general workflow with branches as well, where branches are used to develop features and then later merge them.

After all, any new branch is basically a “remaster” until merged back in, which is when the original master becomes the remaster.

Sure, the analogy isn’t perfect because in music the original master isn’t supposed to change – but the entire purpose of a version control system is to change the “master record”, i.e. what’s deployed to production.

I think master came from master record. It makes some sense, as all other branches would be derived from the master branch.

According to the German (I have not found an EU equivalent) office for statistics, you are part of the top 1% of full-time workers if you earn >213,286€ per year:

Sure, this doesn’t include billionaires who don’t work but there just aren’t enough of them to matter. It’s not like there are hundreds of thousands billionaires in Germany.

Earning 400,000€ in two years makes you part of the 1% though?? Where else would this guy be? Upper middle class?

Base load doesn’t exist. At least not in the way you consider it to.

Right now energy production is based on demand. With renewables, this should be reversed: Demand should adjust to the supply.

One very quick way to achieve this is by mandating dynamic electricity pricing for everyone - company or individual alike.

It will not take long for energy intensive companies to construct their own battery storage (since “purchasing” at -1 cent/kWh is much more economical than at 60 ct/kWh). Consumer demand will also adjust. If your washing machine costs 3€ to run at midnight and -10 ct at 2 pm, when do you think people will wash their clothes? The same goes for charging their EV, vacuuming etc.

The sole remaining factor is heating in winter. Which can not be solved by better battery storage but rather by building thousands of wind turbines everywhere.

That’s what I’m saying.

The argument:

If you never pay for music, artists won’t be able to make new music

is fundamentally flawed. Nearly all artists don’t make more than pocket change at best.

Even if we were to abolish all copyright tomorrow and no one would every pay for art again, art would still exist and be published. Because as it turns out, people enjoy making art.

That’s not to say they shouldn’t be paid. Of course people should make a living by selling art. But OP saying art will cease to exist if there is no money is completely wrong.

Open https://bandcamp.com/discover?s=rand and check how many albums have sold more than 5 copies.

How are those artists able to make music without making money? Because according to you, they can’t.
