There is a current trend in some EU countries that want to violate the basic rights granted by their their respective constitutions or bill of rights. Rights that are supposed to apply to all humans or natural persons and not only to citizens. So I found the wording to be peculiar, because in fact the paper refers at one point not to "everyone" or "all individuals" but to "citizens" in the text proposed by the commission. In the amendment part however the citizens part is replaced with all individuals. You can look it up in this source on page 34.
Because the article fails to mention that this particular idea is intended for immigrants and refugees from Islamic countries. You know, the entire foreigners commit a lot more crimes than others and therefore don't deserve the same basic human rights schtick. Federal elections are coming up very soon and this would be one attempt to win over voters that rather want to feel safe than free. This is spurred by two major things, the recent terror attacks in Europe, which politicians use as leverage to win over elections, and the fact that a good portion of refugees simply disappear from the eyes of the authorities once they're in the country, escape the process of asylum and become illegal aliens. The latter being the fault of the government itself.
However, odds are that the president won't sign such a legislations or the constitutional court will overturn the law as being unconstitutional, like they did in the past with similar laws.
Is that still a thing in Python? I've been out of the loop for quite some time. But the last time I've been into it, this 'feature' was a big obstacle for modern hardware, considering the hardware trends of having more and more CPU cores.
At this point the expression has devolved into a buzzword. Millennial this, Millennial that. When something is perceived as bad link it with 'Millennials' and it will generate even more clicks
And that one would be using quite the Flat-Earther logic.
Many things that Einstein's work predicts cannot be observed through our natural senses directly. Too small are most of the things to be noticed in our everyday life. Yet we can see them indirectly through machines that provide some visualization of the phenomenons that are comprehensible for us.
I have to agree with your flawless logic. If those people would have had the chance to pay a bit extra for their fast lane services, they could have stood at home and enjoyed those fabulous services and live happily ever after.
I disabled automatic updates on my Windows 7 machines when MS started to offer only cumulative updates for Windows 7 through the updater that combine security updates with non security updates. Before that I installed security updates automatically. But with rollup updates, this is something of the past. I don't want them to install whatever crapware they want on my machine. For that reason I already avoid Windows 10 whenever I can. So I prefer to download security updates manually from http://www.catalog.update.micr... (yes, you can do it without using IE) and pay something like ~$30 a year for a proper proprietary anti-virus than putting up with Microsoft's shit. Hey, I'd even be willing to pay that money to MS every year if they offered a better service and didn't try to screw me over every chance they get.
I'm saying that the USSR being a totalitarian dictatorship under the guise of Communism (Stalinism) and not actually Communist in the sense of Marx and Engels is besides the point. Not everything turns automatically into the worst extremes we know from human history. Is Trump waging a world war yet and killing the Jews to make America great again? No! Despite some superficial parallels to Adolf Hitler, most of those 'predictions' have been slippery slope fallacies so far. The same logical fallacy would be to argue that anything 'socialist' will inevitably end in a government that comes very close to Stalinism.
Doesn't really matter if the USSR was never a true Scotsman. At best you're nitpicking here, since it's not a dilemma with only two choice. There's a lot of middle ground between what Stalinism was and still is today in countries like North Korea and what is happening in Europe.
If you're opposed to it on a purely ideological you should put on that thinking cap and think again. I say let them run their trials and see how it works out. If it is such a terrible idea, which is my suspicion as well, the data will likely show it.
Here in Germany most Millennials I know around the age of 30 do not expect to be able to retire at all. They expect old age retirement to be gone within the next 30 years.
Often I have to ask myself if the Millennial generation in the USA is especially bad educated or perhaps if they've just become the punching bag for the majority of people. You know, an umbrella term for a group of people that consists of millions (billions if you consider the whole world) of people. But thanks to murky statistics you can conveniently blame every individual of that group for everything that's going wrong in your opinion, like immigrants.
They put a lot of effort into improving the accessibility for new users and those familiar with other popular operating systems. It comes with an 'app store', that allows you to install a wide variety of additional software with ease.
Indeed, it depends on what you read. I did mention the nature vs. nurture in the first post I made.
When it comes to the Joker/Dexter argument: I've seen the Joker been described as a prototypical psychopath in a book from Carolyn Kaufman (Psy.D.). She also writes about psychopathy being an antisocial personality disorder hallmarked by sadism, which makes psychopaths very dangerous. She doesn't write much about sociopathy though.
According to what I read, the parents of people who are later diagnosed with severe APD - psychopathy - usually learned from an early age that their child was behaving 'different'. It suggest biological reasons and through neural imaging it has been established that the brains of these people appear to work differently. Although there is empirical evidence that some mental conditions like schizoid personality disorder or schizophrenia can be hereditary, I haven't read much about psychopathy in this regard.
I completely agree that the term "psychopathic" was used correctly in the article according to the above definitions. The FBI appears to agree as well (and also offers some information on the topic): https://leb.fbi.gov/2012/novem...
Please don't further confuse people, by drawing in classifications made by people that are studying the mind, cannot cure these issues, and change the definition for them "frequently. "
Makes sense. Don't confuse people by using scientific definitions that everyone can look up themselves. Better use the arbitrary ones from anonymous random internet person who bases their definition on comic books and television.
According to DSM-IV definitions there's no difference between the two, officially the term sociopath has become obsolete some time ago.
Both are terms that are perhaps not diagnosed but often used to describe a particular anti-social personality disorder. Some psychologists or psychiatrists want to distinguish the two by attributing psychopathy to a biochemical imbalance in the brain some people are born with. Which is backed up by some data acquired through fMRI. While sociopathy is believed to be caused by interaction between humans or more specifically the lack thereof. Severe neglect and abuse are believed to cause this kind of anti-social personality disorder which in its symptoms is the same as psychopathy.
But again, according to the DSM-IV definitions that distinction is not made to begin with.
Why would I think that? There's huge and ugly text box when you set the telemetry value in gpedit, stating that you can't really turn telemetry off. It even states that setting it to 0 won't work on non Enterprise machines.
All those things including Classic Shell only hide some the issues, they don't fix them.
I run Windows 10 on my notebook. First of all, I do not like it very much, but I can second that statement.
At least if you have a Windows 10 Pro, turn off all the information sharing through the group manager, turn off Cortana and probably most importantly use Classic Shell there's practically now advertising.
Although I've seen popups that urge people to use Edge over Chrome of Firefox on Windows 10 machines of other people.
I also wonder if the Russian government would let Snowden leave their country so easily, given the remote possibility that some other country wants to give him asylum without the danger or extradition.
Odds are that Snowden had at least some contact with Russian intelligence agencies and also had the chance to learn a couple of things about them. And here I doubt that they'll make the same mistake US agencies did.
Hate speech is not about stating that you "hate" a group of people. That's protected by your freedom of expression in Germany. You may also insult or offend people based on race, colour, ethnicity, sexual orientation or whatever. And while there are lawsuits here and there filed in those cases, they're usually dismissed. However what's not protected and classified as hate speech is if your speech includes threads of violence or similar things, that are covered by coercion laws. In German the expression for this is "Volksverhetzung" which loosely translates to 'incitement of the masses'. Another expression is 'Hassprediger' which translates to hatemonger and describes people that incite hatred or violence towards other people or groups. Holocaust denial is the really special case in Germany, that should disappear soon. The more time goes an, the fewer people's experiences get denied and ridiculed by this. The original intention to get rid of the remaining Nazis, was also fulfilled. There's no practical reason to keep this up any more besides of censorship of people who want to publicly declare that they're ignorant of a lot of evidence.
The weird thing is that there are already laws that cover these things. Individuals can be persecuted, although they rarely get convicted. So why trying to make platforms liable? The answer is simple: Next year is election year and politicking, as in doing things for the sake of appearing to care for the people, is a very popular move in politics.
Closeup of the first example and the second example. In general these machines are a lot simpler than your common ATM. It is kind of weird that someone mixed those machines up, which makes me think that it might have been a 'simple' (although quite dangerous) act of vandalism.
While not all bank statement printer look like the one of the left (example), pretty much all ATMs look like that one on the right. What's also common for statement printer is a rudimentary user interface as you do not need to put in any information, all you do is to insert your card and the device will start printing after a short while.
Unfortunately, in our stupid societies (Germany included) apologizing and or admitting to be wrong is easily interpreted as a sign of utter incompetence. It doesn't matter if someone admits being wrong or starts to compromise in order to find a better solution or approximate the truth. All that matters is winning the argument.
So what they have to do, in order to not appear weak and incompetent, is to stand by their bullshit by finding whatever excuses are possible, no matter how wrong it is. And if all fails, just keep repeating the lie until the majority accepts it as a truth.
Well, it was both if you want to know the full story.
The *nerds of that time wouldn't accept nor support them either in many cases; you know because girls were different and scary. But the individuals I've spoken with were more bothered by the rejection from other girls. Which one was objectively the worse thing is not for me to say. But I think this impression was partially due to the fact that many schools separated boys and girls for various activities like sports, field trips and similar things.
*I call them nerds because the iconic neckbeard didn't exist back then as they do today. At least not from what I've experienced. Most of the nerds I've known had proper body hygiene like anyone else. They just didn't use the same amounts of deodorant or hair-gel as others did.
Where exactly do you live in Germany, somewhere on an 'Aussiedlerhof"? The infrastructure isn't that good in all the states. Especially those that suffered from the oppressive thumb of communism are still lagging behind more than a decade.
I've used to live in the 'outback' (Black Forest) of South-west Germany for a while and there was a bus every 30 minutes (tops 60 minutes), even for villages that were comprised of something like ten houses. And most of the time, public transport is on time. I also suppose that those who call for a ban of ICE would also welcome financial incentives for electric cars and similar nonsense (subsidies are in my opinion a bad idea that will be exploited to no end).
Anyway, since the auto-mobile industry is probably the most important export industry for Germany, lobbyists from Porsche, Mercedes and of course VW will delay any such initiative by many years if it ever gets past the Bundesrat.
