"Since 2013, every private household in Germany has been required to pay these fees, regardless of whether the household actually has the capability to receive the broadcasts themselves."

So this is a universal tax anyway, whether or not you have a TV-enabled device.

What Are the Pros and Cons of a Headless CMS versus a Traditional CMS?
I don't get the criticism of the guidance being "voluntary". The bigger question is more in compliance, no?

That is, if they have compliance rates that are comparable to the countries that do have legal recourse, do we have reason to think legal recourse would have gotten them better compliance?
I'm on an iPhone 6s so it is over 5 years old. I'm just on the verge of getting a new phone since I need more space, a better camera, and a phone that can actually hold a charge. I tend to hold for 3-5 years since I've had probably 2 phones in the past decade (iPhone 4 and iPhone 6s).
Seconded that Mob Psycho 100 is an improvement over One Punch Man when it comes to subversiveness, character development, and general storytelling. Extremely relevant to this thread in that it shows how the skillful subversion of tropes can keep the interest of someone who's otherwise numb to those tropes.
Doesn’t matter insofar as that the opinion of the king appears to be shared among Swedes.
“Home Assistant Blue” Announced as Official Hardware for Home Assistant

Right, but it seems that wouldn't require the app within the Docker container to be running as root to work?
We have a similar model at Papercups where our product is open source https://github.com/papercups-io/papercups but we charge for hosting. We're big fans of Plausible since we both follow a similar model and are both written in Elixir :)
I've seen issues with debian as well in production systems, from the packaging systems most notably. Both distros are mostly good with some flaws.
I'm not defending Monarchy in any way, but it's his job to care about the Swedish populace. That he hasn't been elected to this position doesn't mean that he does not fulfill his job, so I would assume that at least he is better informed than the random person on the street.
They already charge you anyway. They just assume you have an Internet or TV/radio enabled device. Again, having internet is enough as they say you may watch the public media on the broadcaster's website...

Some years ago they would send people to sniff around your home to find a media device, like taking photos of your car radio in front of your home to prove you can access public media. But if you let them in your home, they'd write a report of you having a TV etc.

But as I said this isn't happening any more, they just assume every household has a device capable of accessing public media so everyone must pay.

There was a big movement against this but ultimately the Constitutional Court decided all this is A-OK.

Phone apps have largely replaced them but for my bank I wouldn't mind having a separate device that's not internet connected.

But they cause other issues, like being one more little device to lose and not providing accessibility features like a phone app does (good luck if you're blind).

>I was thinking more about _why_ people want that.

I think there are two primary reasons.

1.) A developer wants to develop/test against an x.y release that only changes minimally (major bug and security fixes) for an extended period of time.

2.) The point release model where you can decide when/if to install upgrades is just "how we've always done things" and a lot of people just aren't comfortable with changing that (even if they effectively already have with any software in public clouds or SaaS).

I largely agree with your other points.
No Advice from the Mob
Not only that. But just the concept of programming is not something most people even grasp what it is.

I stumbled upon a nice way to show people what programming is the other day. However, it requires the person who asked the question to be engaged. If they only see programming as a trade of wizardry and a way to make money they may tune you out.

But my latest analogy for people who as 'what is programming' is to put a rock on a table and say 'teach this rock to go to the store write down every single step including getting off the table and opening the door'. They may get a bit angry and I will tell them a computer is no smarter than a rock and it will do exactly what you tell it. You need to be very explicit in what you tell it. If something goes wrong like you end up in the bathroom instead, something is wrong in the instructions and you have to fix it the rock cant. Now I am sure this analogy will fail on someone at some point. But it has worked on a few people I tested it on. My job is to pretend to be very stupid and then ask 'what sort of instructions do I need'.

That is just the simple style of programming. Add in callbacks, async, events, injection models, and SQL in there and people nope out.
You say that the prime minister is to blame, but the King doesn't say so explicitly, and I point this out because in Sweden's media climate it is for some reason not obvious that the PM is to blame when it all falls short. Because they (the PM and cabinet and the health authority) name their own factors and institutions that they blame.

I think the PM should take responsibility, so evidently say you, but unfortunately the King didn't say that.
The only downside of the DIY route is the noise. Most box fans that I've seen are very noisy relative to "real" air cleaners/purifiers.

I've used a box fan plus furnace filter for years to deal with cat litter dust. Since the particles I want to filter are quite large, I can get away with using a fairly cheap furnace filter. The nice thing about this is that it's really easy to scale it to your requirements.

To deal with the noise, I used a motion sensor and switched outlet to only run it for 10 minutes after the litter has been used. This runs through my existing home automation stuff (Home Assistant+Node-RED), but it could also be done with an Arduino (you don't even something that powerful - two I/O lines is enough), a PIR sensor, and a solid state relay for the fan control.

I've tried a number of low-dust/no-dust litters, but most of have lead to the cats finding other places to do their business or have disappeared from store shelves when I've needed to replenish it. Everything about this is a compromise between litter acceptance, litter availability, litter cost, filter cost, filter life, noise, and dust production.
The problem lies in baking entire distribution into an image.

Using distroless images or "FROM scratch" with statically compiled app reduces the risks.

You still have to watch for your app dependencies updates but that's less work than for an entire distribution.

Yes, we would probably use a space-filling curve to convert from 3D, just like the current scheme uses a Hilbert curve from 2D.

There are some practical performance challenges when the (sparse) tree gets deeper, as I mentioned in my previous response.
Well, a) this is probably just one facet of Facebook's campaign against privacy, but b) younger, more savvy politicians are much more likely to already see through Facebook's BS. The ones who are reading newspapers regularly are the ones who Facebook can just transparently lie to and have them eat it up, because they don't understand technology (but they do understand lobbying in all its forms).
Requirements are pretty low for loans. I have a friend with not too much income who secured one. I myself was able to get a house with something like 5% down which on a house in Texas was like ~$10k.

Lower interest rates equate to a noticeably lower monthly payment so I wouldn’t toss it out completely as a factor.
No it's perfectly possible, but people are just lazy and/or don't understand their platforms.

Docker is for many a "simple" way of getting their app running, and once it's up, they never look back.
Utilities including household internet are natural monopolies. Early paper isn't a natural monopoly.

As such, the arguments for legislation is about as different as they can get. Paper as an industry will likely have a healthy competitive market without significant intervention; household internet not likely.

Nobody is proposing to legislate that paper should be provided free to everyone, it's not at all comparable.

There is a necessary and sufficient course of study for someone to be successful - gainfully employed as a programmer using technologies of the day.

There is a different course of study that is necessary and sufficient to produce an academic.

Many other areas of study are similar. It is one thing to train someone to be a lawyer, quite another to train someone to be a law professor.
Did this with a small fan (around 6" in diameter) and it died out within a week of use. To be fair, the HEPA filter I used was really restrictive but anyone who plans to do this should probably keep that in mind.
This is overblown. It's no worse than radio shows teens used to listen to. Idiots would call in and say all sorts of crap. Twitch viewership is young so there's a lot of "edgey" channels.

There's tons of streamers that don't allow their chat to be a disaster. For others, allowing chat to go nuts is their MO.

The funniest thing to me is utterly un-insteresting "tit streamers" wearing as little as they can to avoid violating ToS.

IMO twitch is just a reflection of the differences in viewing tastes. There's an extremely wide range of channels and personalities. Something for everyone.
So what? It is the most important question of your times, whose outcome will likely determine the future of humanity. Far more relevant than the next JavaScript framework.

I don't even have kids yet and I'm also only able to complete books via sped-up audiobooks. It's a really great way to get through them.

For fiction, go for something with a professional narrator. Jim Dale's Harry Potter series is a good example. They can make it into a modern-day radio drama. But for non-fiction, I prefer if the author reads it. Authors imbibe an excitement to the reading of non-fiction; professionals often come across as monotone and I can't focus on them.
I think Christianity and Age of Reason (Enlightement) are both to blame. Christianity says humans were god's best creation, Enlightement - the pinnacle of evolution. I heard Islam has, or used to have, a much friendlier approach(nothing related to goats) and it remains to this day in countries like Turkey. People are friendly towards stray animals and even build houses for them. The West instead divides them into pets, wild, and livestock.
As a counter I pointed out elsewhere that he is not on Forbes 400, so he's likely worth less than 2.2B, and he's also not on Forbes billionaire list, so he's likely worth under 1B [1].

Which articles are more reliable on net worth than Forbes claim Myhrvold is a billionaire? Do any claim a net worth? I can find none, but you claim some. Please post so we can see.

I also decided to look for a more accurate valuation of IV than wikipedia, since it looks like the data there is sourced quite some time ago. Dunn and Bradstreet, who I'd value much more than Wikipedia to assess companies lists IV as 500 employess and 100M annual revenue [2]. For a tech company, if this is the employee count and revenue, then it is not very profitable, so it's quite possible the entire company is not worth billions.

This is 40% of the per employee revenue for google, 25% of MSFT, 12% of Facebook, 8% of Netflix, 30% of twitter, etc. If these are the numbers, this is not a very profitable company at all for tech.

At any rate, places like DnB and Forbes, who have people tasked to work on this stuff, people with experience and contacts to do such work about as reliably as any public source, I think they are more likely accurate than the speculation in this thread.

If you're talking about wearing masks in public, it looks like their numbers are low--implying that voluntary compliance isn't working great.

For an example, I was driving through rural Alabama, which has a state wide mask mandate, and at every convivence store I stopped in, everyone was masked. Right next door in Georgia, which has the opposite of statewide mask mandate (the governor made local mandates illegal), almost no one was masking.

The same is true for my home county. There's a mask mandate--everyone wears a mask. Move one county over--no mandate and almost no masks.
It is funny if this was not intended as funny. An instance of "now draw the rest of the owl" meme. I can see the need to teach a bit of the surroundings of C, but it ended up having very little to do with C.
Hmm, i come from a Solaris/BSD background, Jailing (or containerize) a application was all about security, second manageability, and third re-usability. Kind of crazy that Docker ignored the most important thing in the Container-Concept (which can be, run un-trusted code on your trusted platform.)
Strong disagree. Unless you're using it as "C with classes", C++ is a nightmare hell language that you should only use if you're forced to by your environment. Stay far away.

C is a fine language, but it is from the 60s and 70s and feels like it. Rust is very nice, although poor for half-assed prototyping (which is actually maybe a good thing). Both are fine choices for systems-level programming.
This Yale study[1] collected data from every county in the US about which restrictions were in place and then tracked how many people got sick. Their data[2] distinguishes between “mask mandate” and a “mask recommendation” and the study author is quoted that the recommendation “doesn’t do anything”. Of course this is all US data so I’m not sure whether or to what extent it would apply to Sweden’s compliance with a mask recommendation vs mandate.

A king is normally the head of state (1), so it would be the equivalent to the president of a country denouncing the the strategy of the government (and with it criticizing the head of government).

The main difference between a king and a president is that, with a president, if he/she is corrupt or incompetent you can remove it. With a monarch your are stuck for life.

In my opinion, the greatest virtue of democracy is not the power to choose who govern you, but the power to remove it from power peacefully. Historically that is pretty remarkable. Of course, in the case of Sweden, the king has a very limited power. The point is, it's not a random person.
