You won't listen anyway. Just look at your language, calling us idiots and fuckwits while pretending you're the level-headed one.

There's enough comments under just this meme and every single discussion on this topic explaining why that change is a direct attack on privacy and privacy being the reason why many of us chose Linux.

claimed by a left-wing extremist group.

"Claimed by someone saying they were a left-wing extremist group." - fify

Someone else claiming to be the same group distanced themselves from the attack and there are important clues pointing to the original post claiming the attack was written in Russian and machine-translated into German.

Expanding on that: in competitive electricity markets, in theory, total demand is met by the cheapest plants (by "marginal price": how much does an additional unit of electricity cost?) that are available.

The marginal price of PV, wind and hydropower is pretty much zero.

The next cheapest are usually older nuclear fission plants and coal power plants.

Then is a huge gap and then come newer nuclear plants and gas fired power plants.

But all of these plants aren't built over night. So maybe before all of the datacenters, total demand may have mostly been met by renewables and coal and gas power plants only operated a few hundred hours per year. Now, total demand rises and those plants need to operate more often. That's why the prices rise just because of demand increase. Other effects (e.g. changes in regulation, corporate greed, ...) might be at play as well.

Yeah, some people on the internet like to oversimplify and I get how your impression arises that those people bend the narrative how they like it.

On the other hand, it's pretty well-documented that

• western governments work with authoritarian leaders when they're not hostile to western corporate interests (see, e.g. Saudi Arabia)
• western governments fund opposition groups no matter if they're democratic or not as long as they can expect an outcome that's better for their corporations' interests (see, e.g. the guy that leads the current Syrian government; see also the royalist opposition in Iran [mostly in exile])

Also left-wing opposition inside western states is often demonized although we have similar aims as some highly-praised opposition movements in other countries.

That's a false dichotomy. We can also improve our technology while ditching capitalism.

Nothing factually wrong with the article, but it has this sound of "this technology will solve all our problems" to it that I find highly problematic. Seven out of nine planetary boundaries are exceeded, climate change just being one of them. And all of them are exceeded because of our wasteful and growth-oriented way of life.

Yeah, uneducated people might say something like that.

Mh, '0' is a nonempty string, so !'0' returns false. Then of course !(!'0') would return true. I'd absolutely expect this, Python does the same.

And the second thing is just JavaScript's type coercion shenanigans. In Python

bool('0') # returns True because of nonempty string
bool(int('0')) # returns False because 0 == False

Knowing that JavaScript does a lot of implicit type conversions, stuff like that doesn't strike me as very surprising.

No, OP refers to Bill Clinton allegedly having been an Epstein client.

We're talking about engineers here! We're using MATLAB or Python if we're programming at all.

• Das Fallpauschalensystem wurde in Deutschland flächendeckend 2004 eingeführt.
• Karl Lauterbach ist 2005 erstmals in den Bundestag eingezogen.
• Er ist sein Amt mit dem Versprechen angetreten, das System abzuschaffen, weil es Scheiße ist.

Aber er ist Schuld. Is klar.
