I remember someone giving a lecture on software engineering methodologies who gave a pretty good summary by saying that "The methods are there to help your brain, not to replace your brain."
I guess everything is relative, but I'm not sure I would say the economic damage is minimal. Maybe in comparison with other countries, but I'm not sure how clear that is. Especially if other countries can go South…
IANAL but I think the GDPR does not just look at the data in isolation, but considers the data and what it is used for. Thus if I give a company access to my data it does not give them a carte blanche to use it however…
I guess I could have been more clear. I was not primarily discussing this particular case of what Discord is doing. Instead of I was against the notion that I cannot have any expectations because something is free. If…
I find this notion that you should be absolved of all responsibilities just because you give it away for free to be completely wrong. They should still be transparent about what they are doing. This notion also does not…
This case reminds me a bit about the US embassy in Moscow, where the US let the Soviet provide them with premade concrete pieces for the construction [1]. The idea was that it would be enough to inspect them to detect…
I'm not sure why you do not just provide a citation for this claim that Swedish law prevented the investigation from proceeding. The claim which seems to be the closest to this seems to be "In 2010, the prosecutor in…
As explained in the answer to a sibling post, the question of if he is "locked" in the embassy or not seems mostly a philosophical one. Just imagine I used a different word if you do not like it. The point I tired to…
Firstly, I was replying to a post which asked for in which concrete ways Assange was being treated differently from other people in similar situations. I have a bit of a hard time understanding why this phrasing of mine…
There is an article from a Swedish tabloid which could be of interest [1], unfortunately only available in Swedish AFAIK. The reason this article is of interest is mainly that it shows that the Swedish prosecutors seem…
Having been forced to dabble in the Microsoft world I have in general found documentation to, at least in some cases, be very sparse. Or maybe I've just not found the right resources? For example, I was looking for some…
So, OK, taking a step back and thinking about this. So my impression from the public debate and so on in the western world is that discrimination is seen as unacceptable and really not at all OK. From the impression I…
Not the person you were talking to, but to me this just feels like a MASSIVE straw man. If you can show that some company prefers men and actually discriminates against women, I think most people would agree with taking…
Any chance you could elaborate on this, because I dont really understand how it answers my original question. I have not checked recently, but last I saw, the database libraries for rust did not use async IO. Looking at…
Not sure if I'm missing something, but for the Techempower Bencharks [1] I had the impression that the bottleneck for other rust libraries were in accessing the database rather than handling http requests. However,…
Well, the data does not just appear on strava all by itself. I made an assumption that a non-neglible fraction of the data uploaded was from Garmins/fitness trackers or similar devices (like watch for tracking your…
In this particular case I'm not sure that blocking internet access at the base will solve much since the data is stored on the device, and it's enough to bring the device to a location with internet access? Basically…
One thing I find rather odd is how noone raises an eyebrow that apparently the US happily admitts to having some enormous spy network in China. It is especially puzzeling if one compares it with the reaction to foreign…
Not really a mathematician, so take this with a grain of salt. I would guess there are probably several different reasons for "looking down" on proof assistants. On the one hand we have something like the 4-colour…
One thing with all of this which puzzles me as a non-American, how does the "acceptance" of people getting killed by the police fit together with the whole anti-gorvernment thing which seems fairly common in the US as…
I'm not sure I can provide an actual quote on this and was more my understanding of what people are arguing, I could be mistaken, I'm not sure. But it would seem to me that accepting something of that form as true would…
If I understand things correctly the argument by feminists etc is something along the lines of "there are no differences between men and women, and thus any difference in outcome must be due to discrimination". Firstly,…
Firstly, you somehow did not even consider my whole point, which was that being a "geek"/"dork"/"nerd"/whatever is not exactly something men are encouraged to be. And based on this I questioned to which extent men are…
Firstly I think that Bittorrent-style techniques are or have been used in some places even though it may not have been advertised very clearly. For example until a few years ago Spotify used to use something like…
I feel that one critical thing that have been missed by many is that on the meta-level this manifesto largely acts as a defence. Feminists/whatever have come with far-reaching accusations of discrimination. Often backed…
