Why do you want proof about common sense? Obviously there is no study showing that male directors get more projects, funding, etc. It is common sense, so no one makes such as study to prove it. If you believe otherwise, why don't you find a study that shows that women are simply not talented enough to make good movies?
In Germany "copyright" always was 70 years after death of the author. I'm not aware of any EU copyright changes in the last 50 years. The Berne convention is close to 100 years old...
Interesting that we have a discussion about it on/. but it obviously was not news worthy that the whole nuclear weapon test range is gone.
They thought they tested another 100kt bomb, but for some reasons it was a 100Mt bomb. Probably their first attempt on an H-bomb, no idea, I never closely watched what NK is doing.
They literally vaporized a 100m diameter of solid rock.
The problem being that if NK is the least bit insincere about their intentions, they may be able to roll over SK and Japan in such a case. You are watching the wrong SF. How should a third world army, like NK, run over a first world army like SK, without using nukes? A NK vs SK war would be over in two weeks. First week NK will lose its air capabilities and ground based radar. If they dare to sent tanks and infantry it will get utterly destroyed afterwards. And then NK has nothing left to throw into the battle. 1 or 2 million soldiers with hand guns do nothing against 100 fighter planes.
And most likely you had mass desertions. Are you americans really so stupid fucking morons that you believe any NK citizen or soldier is really voluntarily in that situation?
As soon as they can they run and try to escape, just to bad the regime holds their families hostages.
The sanctions are illegal! With what authority does the US think they can prevent a Chinese company to trade with a Korean one? Oh, because the have the power to block the Chinese company from the american market.
And there is nothing 'legal' about that. It is only an 'I have the power' and you 'have no way to do anything against it'.
You americans are simply assholes and you are even to dumb to grasp it.
Plant a tree, let it grow 100 years. For sake of argument it weights 100 tonnes. 10'years after it is dead, 99.9999999% of its CO2 is back in the atmosphere. Moron...
Making new plastic instead if recycling can only be cheaper in money id you have retarded taxes and laws. It can't be cheaper in energy and CO2 emissions.
You second link is explicitly about cheaper in money. That exactly is why we have recycling laws in the EU, recycling is about protecting the environment and saving resources not about saving money.
Regardless how the climate is changing: Siberia will always have an arctic winter of 2 or 3 month arctic night and -30C temperature. Bananas don't survive that. Perhaps you can breed some crops that benefit from a slightly longer growth period, but thats it.
Unfortunately the second law of thermodynamics has nothing to do with it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... I still wait for/. post where one is referring to the laws of thermodynamics and is correct.
And we have to harvest that plant and to burry it underground where the coal and oil was that we dug out. Well, of course we can perhaps the CO2 level we have right now, then if we would shift all the carbon needs we have to plants, that could work. However that still means we have to cut CO2 production from other means basically down to zero.
Flying is energy wise, CO2 emissions wise, not that expensive. Only ships and depending on terrain and infrastructure, trains are cheaper. The problem with flying is the huge amount of flights we have world wide, and the heights in which they exhaust other pollutants. Suppose you live in Germany and do the old school drive with your family to south Italy (or Portugal or Spain or Greece) in a car, flying is cheaper on all regards: CO2, energy, time, money.
Actually, no. The extra CO2 is simply in the energy used. Reduce the energy or use a CO2 free source and there you go. The problem is that cement/concrete pulls CO2 out of the atmosphere extremely slowly. You can bet on a few millennia.
Recycling paper and plastics is super efficient. How do you come to you bollocks idea it would not be? The idea to burry paper as carbon sink makes sense on the first glance, nut burying plastics, what would be the sense of that? New plastic would be produced from new raw oil while burning huge amounts of energy to make it, completely pointless.
Half of what you see on dynamic web sites (versus static HTML) is run by JVM based languages, like Java, Scala, Groovy and meanwhile Kotlin, probably even 2/3rd.
Added byte codes, but no changes in old ones, but that change was from Java 6 to Java 7 already. I'm not aware if there is a recent byte code change again. Old byte code usually always worked. Only meanwhile I would assume that Java 1.1 or 1.2 no longer runs because deprecated APIs finally got removed.
Actually, no. While the parent is right, the class loading changed, because of the concept of "modules", you can still invoke the JVM on the command line and force it to use the old mechanism. However typical modern projects easily use hundreds, yes, several hundred, libraries. The project I'm working on right now is already in itself split up into about 100 sub projects and pulls in about 900 libraries. Mostly Apache or other open source stuff, a few dozen commercial products... Of course we are only directly dependent on perhaps 100 or 200 libs, but those pull other libs (via maven dependency management). So basically everyone is waiting that the main open source products move to Java 9, so they don't have to recompile and host their own repositories. But technically recompiling should not be necessary, standard Java 8 compiled jar files should simply run out of the box on Java 9 environments.
Well, software vendors can not really migrate if the customers don't want to migrate. I'm in a project with a few hundred customers who all have dozens or hundreds of installations. If we migrate the software to Java 9 (or 10 soon)... we are still on *7*!! They have to migrate as well. But as you probably know the mantra: never change a running/winning team, everyone is reluctant to perform a change. Technically I'm not aware of a reason. A software compiled on Java 7 and packaged in Jar files should simply run out of the box on Java 9. However we have to test it on various OSes and DB vendors/versions. In some cases migrating to a newer Java version means migrating the OS, too. E.g. Java 9 is not running on OS X 10.9.5. So if I have to make sure my software runs on Java 9, I need at least one test machine, and while I develop on Java 8 I can not use any Java 9 features. However: it sucks. I know companies that are still on Java 6...
Pssssst! Not so loud! That is what scandinavian countries are doing! If you talk about it to loud, they will label you a communist, and your kids wont get proper grades...
The way to fix education is to pour as much resource as you have into teaching the Track 1 kids, because they'll get the most out of it. ( Should I say 'typical american'?) Perhaps you should read a book about it?
We take two similar schools. In school A we make groups of students, to solve a problem/write a paper, the grade of each member of the group will be the grade of the best member of the group.
In school B we make same sized groups and give them the same problem. However the grade of each group member will be the grade of the worst performer in the group.
In which school will the average of the grades be higher?
BTW. that is an experiment done in the 1970s/1980s in..... America.
Hint: it is common sense to guess in which school the grades bottom line are better, so don't spoil it by giving quick shot answers.
