A tip: do a search for something like "wage gap european union", you'll find reports and research done in the size of the gap. This includes compensation for the factors commonly claimed by "anti-gapers" to explain away the easily visible/measurable gap. Yes the people involved did indeed compensate for those things including maternity!
The only way you can feel the research doesn't show a gap is by very selective reading of materials supporting your position while dismissing the huge quantity of research and statistics showing it existing. That is anti-science.
What I've heard is that once diagnosed one is considered to have it even if under control and not needing to medicate. And that loosing weight and having a proper diet does indeed reduce or eliminate the need for any treatment.
In other words what is actually new here? Am I missing something or have this knowledge not been verified in studies before?
Bullshit. Germany have very protection against just this for obvious reasons: the verfassungsschutz or translated protection of the constitution. It is an unique system to make any system that goes against the German constitution very hard to implement. It is a system that (yes!) infringes on personal freedom if that is the way to stop totalitarian groups to increase in power. It doesn't as such protect the current system but the idea of a free state without totalitarian tendencies.
Is it perfect? Nothing ever is. And as I noted above it can reduce personal freedom when it is used to promote a subset of totalitarian views. You may find that distasteful, that's okay. I don't really like those aspects and sometimes find its use heavy handed (but still free from any notable political bias).
But it directly goes against you bullshit claims. The state of Germany have a strong protection for their democracy.
Being placed in prison/forced labor (in a konzentrationslager - sometimes in a vernichtungslager) or killed without a trial is now the same as not being allowed to spread hate on a specific platform?
(German used to differentiate from concentration camp which is a large camp or group of camps)
all it proves is that the "Market" is a figment of the imagination of a bunch of crooks
Which crooks' imagination is "the Market" a fiction of? Name names, and what they stole.
Stole? Look up the definition of crook please. Most uses of the word isn't for describing thieves.
being completely conned by brand marketing (Apple) and buying children's toys at vastly inflated prices in the scam described here
Do you deny that people -- even in Socialist Workers Utopias -- are status seekers?
There are no utopias. And even if there were - is it relevant for this discussion? I think not.
Status can be many things. Being a good father/mother, being a good worker, being a good debater, being a brave warrior among others. It doesn't require buying (in most cases) useless toys.
Take your Austrian economists "Free Market" and...
Ever heard of a Market Town?
The "Market" has been around since the first group of people gathered together to sell their wares in a central location, and that's a lot longer ago than the creation of the Austrian School.
The concept of the free market isn't the same as the concept of a market. You know that. There have never been a free market as it is basically like any other utopia. A nice idea until one adds the real world and real people.
Which means it is a lossy type of compression. Deliberately lossy and very sensitive to small changes in the input (avalanche effect) but still a type of compression.
This isn't a shrink wrap license. But the answer is: sometimes, generally not.
This is a case where one have to accept a license with rules in order to get the right to use the software. Something completely different.
One could make a comparison with some open source licenses including the GPL (yeah, I know better than open source FREE yada yada). One can't legally do something against the copyright without getting permission.
In this case the permission is given by accepting the license and doing some action to indicate that one have indeed read the crap and accept it. Then one can use the copyrighted software as long as one follows the rules given in the EULA. In the GPL case it is restricted to distribution of the software, but the same thing applies. By distributing GPL software one by that action indicate than one indeed have read the rules and accept them. And one can continue to distribute the software as long as one follows the rules given.
If he did click the agreement without permission he would have no right to use the software. That would be piracy. He not only demonstrated that he: 1) Used the software without accepting the EULA (he couldn't legally do that himself and the mother say she didn't accept it).
Proof: videos of him playing the game. 2) Broke the EULA which is the only thing that permits use of the software.
Proof: videos of him breaking the rules of the EULA.
The only way to legally use the software is to agree with the EULA. If the kid didn't have permission than he was involved in piracy - a criminal act. As he isn't considered an adult the mother will have to take responsibility of the crime.
The DMCA thing is shit (and the idea behind the DMCA is and have always been). Doesn't change simple facts. Hope the family doesn't add to their legal problems by not acting responsible.
As the child isn't considered an adult it is the mother that have legal responsibility. But as the person that did the things EPIC think are against the DMCA directing the suit towards the child that will in practice be swapped by the proxy (mother) it shouldn't make any difference.
Unless my understanding of the legal system in the US is wrong that is. Wouldn't be surprised.
Yes but could also be just another example of intelligence agencies working to promote internal products. A type of economical espionage IOW, the US is well known to play such games.
The level of information provided is less than most FUD campaigns. That could of course be for a good reason (not expose their level of knowledge).

Bullshit.
Yes fedoras are pretty fucking lame.
No it's not in any way obvious. That's why we have science in the first place.

How nice of you to post bullshit that is so obviously crap that not even a insane conspiracy theorist would believe them. Idiot.
Bullshit numbers doesn't help making your case.

Now that's a way to look at it. Completely crazy way but still...
Are you trying to say something? Because your post seems to be lacking content.
It isn't the '90s (the time when it was most popular IIRC) but what's wrong using that rather than any new term describing the same thing?
That the value of bitcoins will reduce drastically if they try to cash out. And I'll add that the exchanges doesn't have to $$$ to give.
Well he(?) is technically correct.

Great, that way you'd be able to run Linux!
But not in this case. If this EULA isn't legally binding the users have no right to download or use the software!

With Cisco they have the ability to intercept hardware and install bugging devices.Harder to do that with software.
Don't forget that he is also Hitler _and_ Stalin!
So the KGB got information in 2014. Nearly three decades after they were dissolved.
