Would you say that this is immoral? Since it’s data that’s public anyways, I don’t see why putting it in a table and selling it is a bad thing.

What’s the alternative? I think averaging with a dual input alert is a pretty good solution. Otherwise you need to find a solution to transition from one stick to the other. You can’t just switch sticks with the press of a button because th

If the developer actively points out that they made changes so the software works on a specific platform and then actively disabled support for that platform later, I think people that can’t use the software anymore should get a refund.

If you think European defense is analogous to hitler defending Germany in WWII, we should have started the discussion at a very different point. Do you really think that?

Source that you wouldn’t be allowed to kill unarmed enemy soldiers? Imagine a scouting team doing reconnaissance, surely you’re allowed to attack and kill them?

Bad argument. If you sabotage military equipment in Europe, obviously you also indirectly lower the military potential of that army somewhere else. The planes in Europe aren’t there to be paperweights, they are either being maintained there

So holding a public debate is terrorism too? That’s a pretty lacking definition.

Traffic analysis isn’t just to identify the peers but also to find patterns in communication (they are telling each other good morning and good night every day, they communicated before a terrorist attack, …)

I was expecting some still living animals there but it seems to be only dinosaurs and extinct animals that lived a long time ago. Still really interesting, but an elephant or a giraffe for comparison would be nice.

I mean, that’s what every student that cheats on a test effectively does. You do a test to determine their level of capability and instead of doing it honestly, they use outside help. And I don’t think it’s unheard of that students try to g

How much extra bandwidth does it even take to double the framerate? The frames should be highly correlated and as long as you only add p-frames, the data needed should be pretty small, no?
