But Google now offers you the possibility to turn some things off, as well as to receive a copy of your data and delete it. Same for Facebook. This is an achievement of the GDPR.

Ironically one of the things the 1886 convention was intended to counter was publishers printing works without permission. It was about AUTHOR'S rights. In subsequent versions this has been transformed in something very different. Copy

I doubt any vegans will celebrate unnecessary slaughter of 2M chickens. And animal protein consumes a lot of plant protein to make. If you want to feed people it's much more efficient to send over the soj and grain the chickens are fed

So you are aware that you are deluding yourself but don't take steps about it? :-)

There is no winning with population control measures. Hans Rosling did a great job to spell out the arguments and evidence in his book "Factfulness" which made the charts in most countries. Really recommended reading and incredibl

Many kinds of beans, many kinds of spices and ways of cooking. Really not more or less boring than meat, it's just that nowadays most people never bother to learn how to cook and those that do dont often focus on non-meat dishes. Not t

For me the following is quite a convincing perspective: Slavery has existed for most of human history. The inherent cruelty has only in recent times become something understood widely as morally wrong and unacceptable. We have abolished sla

A tin, suggestion: I can't see anywhere on the page the year of finalisation/publication. Might be helpful to add as tech books are so quickly outdated :-)

DOP, DOC, etc are not about preference, they are designations for regionally protected products names with some production standards. Just like champagne is only champagne if it was made in champagne region from the right grapes in the righ

Have you tried using it e.g. for baking bread, grilling vegetables or similar? I'm not a fan of having one-purpose devices.

And why not try to improve the pizza you make at home? Strange perspective.

I get that everyone like to put "we're the first" in their press release but there are already a number of trials, eg house the day before a German company was reportedly starting trials https://www.nytimes.com&#x2

Of course he'd be stupid to sell all in one go and there's no reason why he'd sell big chunks at once. But of course he can (and probably is) constantly sell small amounts and take cash out.

You make some cash but you're not a billionaire. There is a structural difference where some gain money even when everyone else is losing (not after everyone else has lost like in your case!). There's no issue with some people b

It's very much luck and you should really start to believe it. Even if you're not an expert on stocks, that Tesla rose within a few weeks from 300 to 1000, then went back to 400 and currently stands at 700 - so halving and doublin

Completely agree. At the same time this wouldn't be the focus of my ire, look at the risk impact of July and beef production - a nightmare and arguably also not essential as we have cheaper, more resource efficient and more nutritious

It's a funny table. A mix of historic record (indicating eg most of the Greek cities) Vs archeological evidence of some kind of habitation Vs some myth/oral history. Overall very arbitrary what is and is not considered a city or a

University rankings have two key issues: 1. They are significantly biased to English language (universities/research output) and bigger countries in general 2. They are totally irrelevant from the student perspective as they mostly foc

Why the encryption? If I store data with my family there's two kinds: the kind I encrypt because I don't want anyone else to access it and the kind that I don't encrypt because of I want them to be able to access it. Adding a

I love to tinker but my best investment has been a recent purchase of an Acer 11" Chromebook ("311 spin") for the kids. Touchscreen/convertible, Celeron 4100, 64gb. It just works, is less than 1kg, 9h battery life, no wo

Here the answer coming from an idiot (me): I've lost far more data to password or key loss or bugs in an encryption software than I've had someone try to our succeed to access/steal/... So encryption for something that i

You misunderstood the parent poster. Germany's healthcare system is very decentralised; Germany had 16 states which have large legal, financial, etc independence in a number of fields such as healthcare it education. A key difference t

Herd immunity is not just a buzzword. We have two options to reduce the harm of infectious diseases: eradicate them or build herd immunity. The first option has become impossible with this virus that's now truly global and likely much

In most countries all democratic parties are allowed, but parties that plan to abolish the democratic system are not. Is this a curb on civil liberties or just a reasonable stance?

Asian countries had practice and were prepared due to SARS outbreaks just 10 years ago. Not an excuse but an explanation. Germany is apparently doing 500k tests a week, not that shabby especially if they keep increasing that number.

There is another option that would be progressive "inclusive" approach: allowing more flexibility in teaching content and materials so that teachers can provide different exercises, challenges, etc to different students in the sam
