Wow, Texas is using more energy than the state of China?

Most paper ballets are counted by machine so they could easily be tampered with at the count […]

Do you have a source for that statement? In Germany, ballots are counted by people making tally marks on paper.

wtf :D

From the article:

[…] the press release has been removed and they are not responding when asked if they still plan to release the source code and take the abstract of their final paper to the conference in Kassel, Germany.

Edit: That does not mean that this story is not complete horseshit.

His position is ‘that either position or momentum are “as yet undetermined”’. That means that the ‘uncertainty’ is not due to our ability to measure things, but ‘rather […] a statement about the actual reality about what variables (hidden or not) are stored by each particle’. :)

Except… WhatsApp definitely gets a copy of your address book: https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/general/20971813 “During this entire process, only phone numbers are sent to WhatsApp for lookup, securely, over an encrypted connection.”

No, I do not think that you are understanding him correctly. What makes you think that?

I wonder, is there a correlation between the telegraph.co.uk article and your comment?

Sorry, in Latin every adjective can also be used as a noun. So “studens” (“studierend”) can also mean “Studierende(r)”.

Edit: The point is, Latin “studens” also has the concurrency aspect to it, just as German “Studierender”. If you say “studens ambulat”, it means “He/she is taking a walk, while studying.”

“Student” comes from Latin “studens”, which grammatically is exactly the same as “studierend” (Partizip I in German / Present Active Participle in Latin). The difference in meaning is random.

Well, the important difference is that German has actually simple, clean rules for spelling in those cases.

In German, there are the “Fugenlaute”, sounds that are inserted between the words that a compound is made of. And it is not always clear, what these sounds should be.

Some examples:

* “Schaden(s)ersatz” (compensation for damages) – some put an “s” between “Schaden” (damage) and “ersatz” (substitute), some don’t. * In the German constitution the word “verfassungsgebend” appears, but some would call it “verfassunggebend”.

There are even words that have a different meaning depending on the “Fugenlaute”:

* “Landsmann” / “Landmann” (Land = country / land; Mann = man): “Landsmann” is a man from the same country; a “Landmann” is a peasant or farmer.

There really aren’t “rules” that apply.

There is a lengthy article in the German Wikipedia about this topic: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugenlaut

The German word for “staple” is »Tacker«, which is onomatopoeic.

If you wanted to say that two cars crashed, you could use:

»Zwei Autos (prallten|krachten) gegeneinander.«

Both »prallen« and »krachen« are onomatopoeic.

Onomatopoeia is common in German as well.

Especially because employees have to work for someone who tells them what to do.

Ah, sorry. I did not know that reposts are explicitly allowed even in this timeframe.

There’s a Debian package for an implementation of the “tcpclient” program: `apt-get install ucspi-tcp-ipv6`. You can also find TLS-enabled versions of the client here: https://github.com/SuperScript/ucspi-ssl (see the links).

And then there's the removal of other developer's attribution. Which he thankfully stopped after everything blew up. Or his personal site which initially gave the impression that he was the sole creator of uBlock.

Can you remove me as collaborator of the project please? Thanks.

@chrisaljoudi Remove me too from collaborators, please.

They asked for it.

You’re right, I did not think this through…

I guess that’s why they will probably not use HTTP for the verification. Why would they? The client already generated a certificate and sent it to Let’s Encrypt, they can already use TLS.

Actually Mandarin is the most “popular” language in the world, not English.

But what does that have to do with your source code being closed?
