Nah, he's a cool guy. Everyone around enjoys his company. A little bit of the philosopher of the town.

He does not work, if that is what you mean by giving something in return. However he also does not use many things. We live in a rich country and things are plentiful. What he gets is either stuff that people throw away or that they are happy to give him.

Oh, I see. But apparently it was not communicated enough since even a police man took it as a danger.

Regarding live bullets, I was only joking. It was something done in training certain special troops in Italy during world war I. Many people died during training indeed.

Oh, I see. Indeed anonymised data should be fine under GDPR. However it is often very difficult to anonymise data. Some things are easy to anonymise, other are very complex.

For a small company who does not mainly work with data, the easiest solution to comply with GDPR is indeed just deleting the data altogether.

That happens. Still, many companies do not. Some companies are unaware of the legislation.

I was informing one worker of a company of one such law.

Many companies do not break the law even though there are no controls just because that is the right thing to do.

Are you advising breaking the law just because nobody checks?

General use package? Sure Specialized package to do something specific in a specific field? Good luck.

I still have flashbacks of installing a c++ library which had to be transpired (or whatever the term is) to c# for another library to work, and having to go manually fix several function and type declarations manually to make it work. And we are talking about the golden standard library in the field...

I at times have to install completely undocumented software. I love ccmake as it lists all available options. I guess there are other ways, but that makes it so easy.

Then it's just a couple of days figuring out all necessary libraries.

The blackout lasted almost 24 hours where I live. But I live far away from France. I know places near France did recover in a few hours.

Car prices increased terribly. Back a few years you could get a working used car for 400€, I'm now being told there's nothing to be found for less than 2,000€.

Indeed, that is out of question. The matter of discussion is that the value of gold is attributed and not intrinsic, since gold does not really cover any fundamental human need. Besides, gold is not strictly required to make computers.

How are they making money though? How can you buy a car at the price of a new one and sell it at the price of a used one and be profitable?

Sure, that is internal politics. Go ahead and take part in the no kings day. Protest against your government and change it. I'm not American, I don't know in detail what the president can or can not do. It is completely fine that you don't agree with his decision. Hell, I really do not like this either. What I've been doing is explain the rationale behind the decision. There is a reason behind this choice and it is not that Trump wants to steal money from the government.

Do I like the US intervening more and more in other countries? No, I really do not like it. But frankly that is not just about Trump.

I'm not sure what you mean by straw men, it feels to me that we're missing each other somewhere in the discussion.
