They are direct “competitors”. I find Zotero more power-user-friendly. For instance, there is a powerful bibtex plugin for Zotero that can run a server on localhost, so I can fetch the up-to-date bibliography for any particular collection from a make build with curl. I don’t see this hapenning ever in Mendeley

I guess it only applies to traditional cultures, which the Nazis weren’t.

Visa and MC don’t get almost anything, most of the fee goes to your bank.

But why would a news website per se need to collect or process user's personal data? If you don't, you don't have to care about GDPR at all.

Why would a news magazine website do this? Is it their ads that violate GDPR?

I may be wrong, but that’s exactly what GDPR tries to achieve.

I can somewhat see where you're going with this, but I cannot possibly see how it is a reaction to my comment.

I’ll just copy-paste a comment (not mine) from a different subthread: “This all-or-nothing approach to morality is stupid. Just because not every decision in your life may be 100% morally justifiable, that does not mean “throw all ethics over board”.”

Thank you.

There is some data for you:

That wasn't my point. My point was that all those requests are feature requests, as opposed to lifting some artificial restrictions. Because iOS is not open source, they would need to be coded by Apple, so it's a perfectly valid business decision on their sise not to invest in them.

At this point, you are just complaining that iOS is not open source.

Didn't know about that! But it seems they were able to break the system only while the Germans where sending the settings of the plugboard in the header of each message. Once that was changed in the early 1940, their decrypting techniques wouldn't work anymore.

Btw, from the wikipedia article: "lazy cipher clerks often chose starting positions such as "AAA", "BBB", or "CCC"" Weak passwords were an issue already back then.

Enigma wasn't hard through obscurity. The Allies had the Enigma machine long before they were able to crack it. It was hard because with the equipment of the day, it was pretty much unbreakable in the same way that prime-number based cryptography is today. It was only A. Turing developing a completely novel kind of machine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombe) that enabled the decryption. In the same way that quantum computers could break the current cryptography easily. It's not obscurity, it's assuming that some (mathematical) task is hard.

> deserve our information

Deserve the responsibility.

Anecdotal evidence: That is the case in my circle of friends. My news feed has been empty for quite some time, but we still use the messenger and facebook itself to organize our own private events.

Certainly true. I'd just point out that exactly these kinds of mistakes happen to people too.

I don't really see why those two should be compared? Pandas is a Python library for programmatic work with tabular data. Visidata gives you a live view of a file storing tabular data.

Ok, that's financial liability. What about criminal liability? What if the car breaks rules and kills someone. Will the programmers be responsible? The CEO? Can companies be criminally convicted in the US? Or will it be on par with other "machine accidents", where there is typically no criminal responsibility?

In the Eurozone, SEPA transfers are free. Outside Eurozone, but within EU, there are typically small fees.

In the same way that there is no formal theory for the exact shapes of proteins? I think it’s possible. But as with proteins, there are probably some general aspects of the problem that can be explained in simpler terms.

In this regard, it is similar to how natural sciences are done. The hyperparameter space of possible experiments is immense, they are expensive, so one has to go with intuition and luck. Reporting this is difficult.

[edit:] In this analogy, deep learning currently misses any sort of a general theory (in the sense of theories explaining experiments).

In the Czech Republic, it's pay slips/bank statements, or a work contract for mortgage (you cannot fire someone without a reason). There is a central government database of people who didn't pay a debt on time.

In Germany, also pay slips and work contracts. Additionally, there is a semi-private government-mandated company (I never understood why Germans don't complain about this) that maintains a database of existing debtors. You basically start with a perfect score and it decreases only when you don't repay on time.

I don't really remember where have I heard about this. It definitely wasn't an article online. It might have been the museum at Bernauer Str.

Is this around Bernauer Str or also somewhere else? I've only ever seen it there.

> though sometimes there was a thin strip of East Berlin strictly speaking

There were also secret doors in the wall, and on several occasion people from the western part who ended up on this thin strip adjacent to the wall were "kidnapped" by the stasi to the east and later usually traded for eastern agents captured in the west.

Came to say the same. I’ve always assumed the target audience of these machines is just video editing?

What are the requirements on running, say, TensorFlow? Isn’t it just the GPU there?

Macbook Pro, 13-inch, 2015, Intel graphics 6100. So I guess not. The 4K display is connected via displayport, and runs downscaled at 2560x1440.

I guess it's not really that surprising, but recording a 4K display eats about one and a half core on Core i5, 2.7 GHz.

How does the Safari extension play with the native content blockers like 1blocker? Is this supported? I noticed that with 1blocker enabled, the initial grade is usually higher than what it would be without 1blocker.
