While I admire the sentiment, what can we actually do that we are not already doing?
Invading won't work, it will just create another Iraq or Afghanistan.
Unfortunately you can't just make a country democratic, because the people will just vote for religious extremists. I think we may just have to accept that they will need to get there in their own time, with as much support from us as we can offer.
I can see I'm going to have an argument about third party batteries with them then.
My girlfriend had this problem with her original battery, and I told her to get a genuine one but she decided to get a third party replacement for 1/3rd the cost. Now Apple have admitted to this flaw I expect them to install a new, genuine battery. By rights they should do it for free.
You don't see a difference between not insulting the person signing the cheques and merely using words like transgender? Instead use a euphemism to avoid triggering the anti-science bigots or lie by omission to them?
It's just that current old people are largely boomers and their parents. They did well for themselves. Mortgage paid off on at least one house, nice pension, no need to worry about the future or the environment... They did better than their parents.
Younger people have been, to paraphrase Vince Cable, comprehensively shafted. So naturally they are not as happy.
They opened a rubbish burner plant near where I used to live about a decade ago. People objected like crazy but they ignored them. You have to have serious money as national publicity for that to work in the UK, and even then it's more likely than not to fail.
Older people are just as gullible. If education was better back then they wouldn't fall for re-writing history they lived through first hand, or the obvious lies thrown out by politicians.
Nazis are not socialists. They adopted some socialist ideas to get elected, standard populist stuff. But as soon as they had a grip on power they abandoned all that.
Gotta ask, does having a word in the name really make you think the organisation is that word? I mean, do you think that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a democracy? I don't think that's how it works.
German courts won't allow fines if a genuine effort is made. Mistakes happen, and in Europe the courts tend to assume good faith unless shown otherwise.
So if they didn't pass these laws what would stop a far right government introducing them later? Nothing, nothing at all.
The only way to stop a repeat of the 30s is to stop far right governments taking power in the first place. Germany has protections against that. Yes, it does mean some politics are suppressed and censored. It's a balance, has to be.
Fortunately truthful reporting on Trump is quite profitable, so I don't think it will stop. In fact it's a good opportunity for brands to get some much needed patronage, as until recently mere factual reporting wasn't a cause by itself.
The guys blowing themselves up don't do it because of international politics. They do it because they were radicalised online and in religious establishments. Radicalisation is the problem.
You mean saying Brexit is a *bad* thing, right? That's borderline treason these days.
Sadly it will not be resolved in my lifetime. When we end up smashed on the rocks all the blame will be on people who were not patriotic enough, who dared to "talk Britain down" aka be realistic. And like the campaign to leave, the campaign to rejoin will never end.
This is where Europe differs. The US Constitution only protects against the government doing stuff to individuals, and relies on the law to create some kind of society that people can actually live and prosper in.
The two are often at odds - stopping harassment can involve censorship, which is apparently constitutional.
In Europe we are more explicit about this balance and codify it in law, rather than relying almost entirely on courts to do it. In some ways it's better to do it that way, for example it keeps the judiciary more independent from political appointments like SCOTUS is plagued with.
They started doing test filming and broadcasting last year in Japan, but I don't think you can receive it without special equipment. In any case, the 2020 Olympics will be the first thing widely broadcast in 8k.
Sure, it's when there are ONLY anonymous sources that there is a problem. Like that story about the banned words at three CDC. Anonymous sources, but confirmed by the CDC on the record and by leaked memos. Watergate was similar, it was more than just an anonymous person's word.
The answer is no, because Slashdot has no business presence in Germany so no fines can be levied. Only companies that exist in German jurisdiction are affected.
You can make the same argument about US anti-speech laws. What is harassment? What is incitement? Is it your fault if you shout fire in a theatre and people believe you and get hurt? All open to interpretation and judgement, which is what we have a legal system for.
I'm not a fan of this, I'm just pointing out that all countries have laws that require judicial interpretation, because real life is too complex to enumerate every possibly.
It's even more fundamental than that. People just need to recognise simple things like only using anonymous sources for a story or separating the opinions from the facts.
Stories in mainstream media are rarely outright fabrications, even rags like the Daily Mail usually have some small amount of truth to them. The bigger problem is that many people can't separate opinion and speculation from factual reporting, leading to them being mislead and screaming "fake news" in equal measure.
Sounds like suicide. Normal people will never figure out managing certs over all their devices, for example. And talk about making it hard for users to discover your services. Aside from things like email, most Google stuff works without login, even over Tor and without JavaScript.

It's optional if you plan to never run newer kernels, or build your own with a patch to disable this fix.

Rubbish sorting is probably the most important problem in machine vision, and one of the hardest.

The rest of his comment is just ad hom slander to attack Snopes with, it's not an actual argument and not worthy of further consideration.

Actually most of the Syrian refugees are quite well educated and liberal.
They don't hate Jews for the most part either. They might have specific issues with Israel. I do too, but that's due to politics rather than religion.

The engine elections this year will turn even more of his own party and people against him. Hopefully it will be the tipping point.

You may be disappointed...
But actually open ended discussion articles like this often produce some of the best comments.
