translates more like "bear animal" actually

the first reaction people had was to literally complain about the title, questioning the whole conclusion. I don't think he was too far off the mark

I think they should just remove the link, everyone knows you can't discuss these things in this community.

whaat non US workers don't get paid??

Which I think is the major point the author missed, the german IT industry itself is in denial for a long time now. Its not even the question why can't Germany create any major internet company like Facebook or Slack, its: "Slack has no value to me", I don't understand why people use Facebook/Whatsapp at all... These are the majority in the industry and block any real innovation at the earliest possible moment.

very good point, I would not be surprised if Uber put those cars out with a barely working model to collect enough training data, the human operator to correct such errors was tired and didn't intervene. Some basic driving test for self driving cars or other mitigating factors need to be added IMMEDIATELY otherwise tons more will probably die or be injured. Train operators need to prove they are awake and with attention using some button presses, similar things need to be required for those research vehicle if you want to allow them at all.

I have the opposite reaction to it, it seems insanely idiotic to have a associative array with ordered keys. It can only make sense to someone who doesn't know anything about fundamental data structures and a language that caters to people like that in spite of the performance penalty is just strange.

but hey, its Guido, I still can't fathom that he moved reduce into functools.

No, the widely accepted interpretation of that law is that, if I have a coworker who wants to be called xe/xem/xyr/xyrs/xemself, I have to comply or face punishment, since not be accommodating of this can be construed as harassment. Ideologues want to dismiss everyone who is against this law as transphobic, but this is demonstrably not true, one can be accepting of the human rights of trans people while simultaneously disagreeing with the extend of protections and privileges granted to them. I think what most people ultimately take issue with, is that this law was evidently ideologically motivated and it felt like no logical arguments could ever be discussed.

But just calling someone a nazi is so much more efficient than having to come up with actual arguments on why he is supposed to be so evil.

Most impressive feature:

> We have an integrated terminal emulator supporting ecma-48. You can run vim or anything else within openage. This is neat to interactively edit scripts.

it runs vim!

While that sound smart and plausible, I would assume that there is some solution to that problem, otherwise how would private security work at all?
