I assume only German citizens can sign this? I upvoted here if that helps, because it sounds like a great initiative, maybe if this gains traction this can go europe wide?
The difficult part is measuring work done I'm afraid though. For volunteer work as e.g. reading books to kids or cleaning streets it's relatively easy to see that things are happening, even if some are better/faster than others. Unless you're going to force people to work in live calls or whatever, or just trust self-reporting, that's going to be hard, no?
Or do you mean more like subsidies for nonprofits working in open source?
Either way, good initiative, I hope for its success!
Years ago I was in a consulting company that had a tld ending in .consultingSo many websites didn't allow that because of shitty email verification rules that assume outdated tlds..
Oh yeah I just found it amusing that the old "unreliable" thing is now being used as a gauge for "reliable enough"
I luckily have no experience with either breaking for me over 15ish years of active computer usage, so I have no fears or trust issues there yet. I also use cloud saves on steam for everything and I'm lucky enough to live in an area with good internet, so worst case I play a different game while my big game is downloading again after I broke something.
Nobody says you're a quack because you believe or want to research extraterrestrial life. Scientists might call you a quack for claiming something "beyond a doubt" without any evidence.
Close, but now you come into contact with the atmosphere not actually being the same density (in weight/volume as well as in particles/volume) throughout, but instead gets thinner as you get away from the earth.
For simplicity, assume space is actually empty, and the atmosphere gets thinner linearly up until x kilometers above sea level it's completely empty. Then the density will also decrease with height, and the helium balloon will eventually find a spot that matches its density, and stop there.
Again there's so much more to it but as a simplified model this works 😅
Rockets mostly need to fight speed (of the earth revolving around the sun), and indeed in our atmosphere speed means friction, but in space rockets still need a lot of propellant to change their trajectory. As always there's a relevant xkcd: https://what-if.xkcd.com/58/
The very short answer is that gas pressure is mostly proportional to the amount of particles per volume.
So a balloon filled with helium has X particles per cubic cm, while the air around it has the same amount (instead of getting crushed). But because helium is a lot lighter per particle than standard air, this makes the balloon lighter than air, and like trying to push an air-filled balloon underwater, this helium-filled balloon floats to the higher layers of air, until other smaller forces also start to matter and the balance is restored.
So a "vacuum-filled" balloon has nothing to give counter-pressure, but a balloon filled with helium definitely does.
I absolutely want to believe reddthat has the best intentions, just wary of the name. In the end, I'm just a casual passerby from yet another instance with my tiny opinion, don't worry too much about it 😊
Personally I think reddthat is too close a nod to reddit, which means issues (because wanting to distance from reddit later, I don't think there's going to be legal issues). Otherwise assuming the same admins and such, all the same for me, I get them both in my feed at the moment.
I agree, it could be a last resort when things like ghostery or such fail, but otherwise there's enough crap saturating the wires, no need to artificially inflate that
I like the theory where (one of) the "great filter(s)" is just the likelihood of a technologically advanced civilization emerging from a greedy society is just way more likely than from a complacent society. So at some point some creature somewhere gets some critical mass of tech fueled by greed, this leads to global domination (humans over animals, as well as europeans over their colonies).
Without the greed, there would not have been the technological advantage, but due to this same greed we now have weapons of mass destruction strong enough to wipe any semblance of intelligent life from the planet.
Of course this theory is very black and white (not to mention capitalistic). Perhaps a curious society is also an option to reach technological advantage but not global domination, but would such a society manage to become a Kardashev type I civilization by sharing rather than conquest?
So to directly answer your question: I think it's likely that someone would have enslaved most of the earth somehow, (which absolutely does not excuse it).
It's surprisingly good that humans on average dislike the idea of slavery and colonisation now, so maybe we can build on top of that a society of curiosity and progress instead of one of war and a (literal) dead end.
Tldr: vibe coding is for "expert coders" who don't like to code but instead want to do code reviews of "coders" who never learn.
No thanks, I actually like coding
This one always surprised me how coal and soul somehow rhyme.
