I fear, you are right. Every time, I speak out for the truth on HN, I am down voted continuously, only half-hearted tech-blabla is suffered here. What adds up hat HN: Any discussion about important future stuff is instantly penalized by the

Just curious: Why I am downvoted here? Any person with a little history knowledge would be able to say that everything is correct, I stated. But people don't know about history any more, since they think, we are so different today. We

The German army leaders thought straight this way. This directly led to the 2nd World War.

Just read the news (and not only HN, since here, the world view is harshly filtered to fit into some world-view -- also don't just rely on one parties supporting news channel). You always can try to explain things away, but reality is

This is a bad day for the US, since by such a behavior ("America first -- ignore international pacts"), the other countries will less and less likely follow this country (with exception of Saudi Arabia, of course). The Europeans a

If he did not do it, I would have to find a different car producer for my next car. So, I have to think about it. I am not sure, if I want to support US companies in this "America first" situation. A country that so much indulges

Isn't that the organization, that mainly was crippled by Trump?

It is clear, which view Trump has: America first. When this planet is going dump, the American rich shall profit from it.

I am very sad, that it is possible, that one man brings us back into the dark ages of early industrialization with all its problems for humanity. In the 90s we thought, that our generation is better and knows it better than any prior genera

That is right. I just know, that many companies flee from GPL licenses (and more so AGPL). They omit any product involving GPL just to be sure not to get any juristic hassles (if rational or not). Here is the culprit: When no other people i

I don't think, that E-Mobility per se is fixing the problem. I just think, that many things could/should be done, but most opportunities just where wasted for decades now, because of pure short-term profit thinking. The other thin

I am ashamed, that my government (the German one) has effectively helped to cover things up for decades now in the EU and they are still doing it. They are still blocking realistic pollution regulations for cars in the EU and they help car

Hitler came out of largely "free" elections. I don't think, that every despot is similar to Hitler, but still it is a despot. BTW: How do you recognize a despot: He behaves like one. Just open your eyes!

I currently don't see the similarity to SQLite, that is implied in the readme. SQLite stores all its data (every table and all entries in tables) in one single file. JSONlite does store every JSON entry in one particular file, as much

The so called "Privacy Shield" was from the start just a renaming of the previous existing contract between the US and the EU. Thus it did not protect anything more than it was protected before. Until the EU stops to make such &qu

When you compare things, you will end up, that today those people have for more elaborate techniques for spying on us. When the people which have done it in East Germany, look at what is done in the West today, they have tears in their eyes

The sad truth is, that we would not need stricter standards, if the current standards would be met in reality -- that would be much better than another EURO 7 or 8. The other sad thing is, that the praised German car manufacturers are about

The other part is, that producing cleaner Diesel cars is just more costly -- that was the main reason for VW to cheat.

One of the reasons, I am not proud to be a German, since it was/is my government (shame on them all!) that actively prevents real progress in the area of emission reduction of cars. Reality is, that ADAC or TÜV years ago already warned

Even, when you have a totally true and unbiased report of a true story, will it always lead to the right ethics? I very much doubt so. There where to many people living, that brought suffering to others without ever been punished. Many peop

Fictional is not always "wrong" or "false" as you claim. There are so many fictional books which have so much to teach. You can think of Star Wars how you like, but condemning fictional stories as bad only because they a

I like startups, because they are a way of bringing new thinking into the world, where dinosaur corporations rule. But there has also settled some notion today, to make making startups like having an assembly line. It is no more about havin

I disagree. A startup should at least have a draft business model and also a startup should make sane investments in its personal (I rather dislike the word "human capital"). Just burning people like burning money to someday find
