And we ignore just the other 100+ cars where he did this too and they were were all destroyed. And you thought TSA is theater...

What could possibly go wrong?

Nachdem alle Zeitzeugen gestorben sind und die Geschichte in Ausstellungen durch AI erzählt wird, werden alle Antisemiten sagen, die Geschichte sei fake und man könne es daran erkennen dass -- trommelwirbel -- es AI ist. Denn AI haluziniert, träumt und lügt. Das ist doch Wasser auf die Mühlen der Schwachsinnigen; So ein sensibles Thema mit einer Technik-Erzählung zu transportieren, die bekannt ist für Propaganda, Fake-News und Bildmanipulation, kann nur bitter enden. Kein Jugendlicher dessen Vater ihm seit Kindesbein erzählt hat, dass die Juden schuld an allem sind und der Progrom eine Lüge ist, wird sich in einer Ausstellung nicht von einer AI überzeugen lassen, dass es nicht fake ist - gerade weil es AI ist.

Funny how hard it is to find what this book actually entails. You go on the Website and it says:

This is the fourth edition of “Distributed Systems. We have stayed close to the setup of the third edition, including examples of (part of) existing distributed systems close to where general principles are discussed. [...]

No word what it is actually about. So you go to Amazon:

This is the fourth edition of “Distributed Systems.” We have stayed close to the setup of the third edition, including examples of (part of) existing distributed systems close to where general principles are discussed. [...]

Then you look on the books backcover and it says:

This is the fourth edition of “Distributed Systems.” We have stayed close to the setup of the third edition, including examples of (part of) existing distributed systems close to where general principles are discussed. [...]

I give up.

I guess the take away is:

For example, we have included material on blockchain systems, and discuss their various components throughout the book.

Trust me bro.

For me (europe) it is:

  • 2,99 = 50GB
  • 9,99 = 2TB

Everyone with a family or social life has between 20-200GB photos and videos. Notice how there is no plan for 5,99 = 1TB. You either do not back up everything and pay 3€, or you pay a tener per month to have a cloud storage that is always 50-70% empty but still have to pay for.

I will be the first to leave Apple iCloud if there is a viable solution that works like apples own OS integration without jumping through hoops and losing albums and meta data

The Battle of Marathon took place in 490 BC during the first Persian invasion of Greece. It was fought between the citizens of Athens, aided by Plataea, and a Persianforce commanded by Datis and Artaphernes. The battle was the culmination of the first attempt by Persia under King Darius I, to subjugate Greece. The Greek army inflicted a crushing defeat on the more numerous Persians, marking a turning point in the Greco-Persian Wars.

 

Hello

It was crazy hard to find a rule that actually worked to remove any videos - so I thought I might share it with others here. There are so many old or broken Reddit and SuperUser "solutions" in the web that just do not work (anymore?).

Here is a simple rule (yet heavy on rendering time) you can add to your filterlist if you want to block videos containing a trigger word:

youtube.com##yt-formatted-string:has-text(TRIGGERWORD_HERE):upward(ytd-rich-item-renderer)

e.g: for me "Trump"

youtube.com##yt-formatted-string:has-text(Trump):upward(ytd-rich-item-renderer)

Thought that might help someone else who might be searching for this in the future.

Trump said at one point that he would not come to Taiwans help if China attacks. With the stagnating chinese economy, China has 4 years to attack Taiwan without the US intervening. Musk tries to move his supply chain out of Taiwan before China makes the move.

A russian attack on US civial aviation would remove all brakes on ukrainian aid. They would not even allowed from then on to strike deep into russian territory, it would be a auto subscription to the Best-Daily-Targets-Newsletter by every 3Letter-Agency in the US. How stupid can Putin be?

Ihr wart auch mal klein und habt euch über was süßes gefreut.

Ja, nannte sich zum einen Karneval und zum anderen St. Martin wo man singen gehen musste mit selbst gebastelten Laternen. Wegen mir braucht es keinen weiteren Verpackungsmüll-Feiertag.

I was not proficient with this topic, so had to look it up:

The Ship of Theseus, also known as Theseus's Paradox, is a paradox and a common thought experiment about whether an object is the same object after having all of its original components replaced over time, typically one after the other.

In Greek mythology, Theseus, the mythical king of the city of Athens, rescued the children of Athens from King Minos after slaying the minotaur and then escaped onto a ship going to Delos. Each year, the Athenians would commemorate this by taking the ship on a pilgrimage to Delos to honour Apollo. A question was raised by ancient philosophers: After several hundreds of years of maintenance, if each individual piece of the Ship of Theseus were replaced, one after the other, was it still the same ship?
