  • Z.B. wäre es wohl nicht in Ordnung, mit 'ner Kamera die Straßen abzulaufen und alles zu filmen und hochzuladen, wegen Privatsphäre-Schutz oder so.

    Generell gilt in .de Panoramafreiheit: Wo du stehen darfst darfste auch ein Foto machen, musst halt nur ggf. Personen, Autokennzeichen etc. unkenntlich machen.

    Warum bezieht OSM nicht die Daten aus öffentlich einsehbaren Katastern/Registern?

    Müssten die Länder entsprechend lizensieren. Womit dann Google und Konsorten wahrscheinlich auch kostenlos an die Daten kommen würden.

    Vorschlag an die Linken: Gesetz einbringen dass die Diätenerhöhung auf jährlich den Regelsatz beschränkt. Des Popcorns wegen.

  • It's also feminine in Low Saxon.

    According to wiktionary Middle Dutch jageschip, Middle Low Saxon jāgeschip (that's just a long a there nothing special), "fast ship", both shortened it and underwent not entirely dissimilar g -> ch sound changes. At least in Low Saxon "jagen" can be used in the sense of "fast movement", like dör­ja­gen.

    Imported into High German in the 16th century. I mean you didn't really think that the landlubbers came up with the word did you. Ship is neuter in all three languages.

    Speaking of that, though: There's lots of instances where Low Saxon and High German don't agree on noun gender... which doesn't really matter as Low Saxon is in the process of doing an English and losing the last remnants of marking gender, anyway.

  • Do you believe that every party in every parliament in the world should be able to just stop parliament from working instead of trying to actually vote for laws/bills

    Plenty of parliamentarians getting kicked out of western parliaments for wearing t-shirts with slogans, holding up signs, suchlike. Suspensions generally are extraordinarily short and little more than "ok we'll give you some time to change into respectable attire". Also make a scene? Add a day. Make them watch from the visitor's benches. Pay attention they don't miss (relevant) votes.

    That would have been the proper reaction: The proper way to handle ritual stunts (and they're a ritual, also the t-shirt thing) is with ritual slaps on the wrist.

    The NZ reaction? They're suspending parliamentarians for unprecedented amounts of time, and on top of that while the budget is being passed. That is, they're fucking with the distribution of votes, which is fucking with the foundations of democracy. That is, for a parliament, nothing less than a declaration of bankruptcy.

  • "Greece", during the Greek financial crisis, would've been a political statement. Today it'd likely be fine.

  • No political statements with clothing is established precedent and wearing a Palestine shirt today is a political statement. Greece? Currently, not really, no, don't see it. During the Greek debt crisis? Yes it would've been.

    She's free to make a pro-Palestine speech, that's how political statements are supposed to be done in parliament. Occasionally there's stunts like these, and they always have the same outcome: A small amount of extra spotlight, then everyone forgets about it.

  • Things have shifted in the last what 20 years: Back then no Nazi would ever be caught dead with a "black-red-mustard" flag, Nazi flags are outlawed so they were using imperial flags (black-white-red). Changed with the "Monday demonstrations", and the Nazis, while infiltrating the AfD, adopting less overt symbolism. "Nono we're not the Nazis don't you see those boneheads there marching with the imperial flag those are Nazis".

    As far as use by non-fascists is concerned, it's still generally limited to the extreme right (think Burschenschaften), or the world cup. Which, btw, was started by Turks: Dunno remember which but Turkey made it into the group stage at some point, lots of Germans with Turkish descent turned the balconies red, then Turkey got kicked out, and all of them, without batting an eye, switched to flying black-red-gold.

  • Pins are quite common with conservative politicians, and I'd say they're subdued enough.

    Have, for example, Daniel Günther with the SH coat of arms. I mean he's prime minister, why not.

  • why would I NOT assume that German institutions would find some way to ratfuck with pro-Palestinian voices?

    I disagree with that generality, but I grant you the point, it's a valid assumption to make.

    However:

    Nothing about what you said supports the assumption that people with Ukraine T-shirts wouldn't get booted. They would be.

    Overall this is a not exactly uncommon thing in the Bundestag: Break the rules to get thrown out to put the spotlight on something. In fact, without the "getting thrown out" part it wouldn't make sense to wear clothing with political meaning in the first place, as everyone would be doing it, and everyone would ignore it.

  • Japan's annual births fall to record low as country's 'silent emergency' deepens

    Jump

  • I agree that immigration is a big part of fixing this.

    It isn't. Not for long at least, as the last large countries are currently finishing their own demographic transition and starting to shrink themselves.

    Is the world's population still growing? Yes. But the growth rate peaked in the 60s, it's cratering just as fast as it spiked, and by 2100 thereabouts there will be overall shrinkage.

    Also before we get at the question whether Japan wants to have lots of immigration, what about the question whether those people wouldn't rather build their own countries.

    There's nothing wrong with the world's population shrinking -- and also not with it growing, the earth is far from its carrying capacity. What's frightening is very quick population growth or shrinkage because it's an absolute breeding ground for all kinds of inequalities and societal unrest.

  • Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated article summaries to Wikipedia

  • It really depends on what you're looking at. The history section of some random town? Absolutely bog-standard prose. I'm probably missing lots of implications as I'm no historian but at least I understand what's going on. The article on asymmetric relations? Good luck getting your mathematical literacy from wikipedia all the maths articles require you to already have it, and that's one of the easier ones. It's a fucking trivial concept, it has a glaringly obvious example... which is mentioned, even as first example, but by that time most people's eyes have glazed over. "Asymmetric relations are a generalisation of the idea that if a < b, then it is necessarily false that a > b: If it is true that Bob is taller than Tom, then it is false that Tom is taller than Bob." Put that in the header.

    Or let's take Big O notation. Short overview, formal definition, examples... not practical, but theoretical, then infinitesimal asymptotics, which is deep into the weeds. You know what that article actually needs? After the short overview, have an intuitive/hand-wavy definition, then two well explained "find an entry in a telephone book", examples, two different algorithms: O(n) (naive) and O(log n) (divide and conquer), to demonstrate the kind of differences the notation is supposed to highlight. Then, with the basics out of the way, one to demonstrate that the notation doesn't care about multiplicative factors, what it (deliberately) sweeps under the rug. Short blurb about why that's warranted in practice. Then, directly afterwards, the "orders of common functions" table but make sure to have examples that people actually might be acquainted with. Then talk about amortisation, and how you don't always use hash tables "because they're O(1) and trees are not". Then get into the formal stuff, that is, the current article.

    And, no, LLMs will be of absolutely no help doing that. What wikipedia needs is a didactics task force giving specialist editors a slap on the wrist because xkcd 2501.

  • Das Konzept finde ich auch etwas schräg.

    Das macht absolut Sinn: In Tateinheit mit Vergewaltigung reicht fahrlässige Tötung für lebenslänglich, d.h. gleiches Strafmaß wie Mord. Niederer Beweggrund ist sicherlich da also wäre es Mord und nicht Totschlag... beide brauchen aber Tötungsvorsatz (zumindest eventual) und der ist bei Vergewaltigung nicht automatisch gegeben, genauso wie nicht jeder Raser der jemanden umnietet einen Mord begeht. Verknacken will man die Leute aber trotzdem länger, der Gerechtigkeit reicht der Vorsatz der Vergewaltigung um streng zu sein, deshalb der extra Tatbestand.

    Fahrlässige Tötung ist in anderen Fällen eher sowas wie "war dafür verantwortlich die Baugrube zu sichern, hat es aber nicht gemacht", bis zu fünf Jahre oder Geldstrafe. Komplett andere Schublade.

    Vergleichen lassen sich die Statistiken nicht wirklich, da hast du Recht. Um das 100%ig zu machen müsste man Juristen ran setzen und ein und die selben Fälle noch mal mit dem Recht des Vergleichslandes nachverhandeln. Auf der anderen Seite können das Kriminologen mit Erfahrung aber schon tun indem sie Dinge verschieden gewichten, die verschiedenen Rechtssysteme verschwinden dann irgendwann im allgemeinen statistischen Rauschen.

  • Best guess: "out for delivery" means "loaded into the van". Especially if the projected delivery time is rather late, that is, you're at the tail end of their round, it can happen that they won't make it. And because FedEx isn't being smart about things and flips route directions every day it can be that they won't make it the next day, either, because you're still at the end of the route. Only when your location is covered by another driver which doesn't have you towards the very end then is the package delivered.

    There's various ways to alleviate that, in particular switching around routes so the tail end problem doesn't hit the same people all the time, but I guess the penny-pincher MBAs that be at FedEx don't see it contributing to the quarterly results. Here in Germany it's usually along the lines of "we're fucking busy, sucks to be you, we brought it to a parcel pick up, go there, next delivery attempt in three days, then it's going to stay at the pickup until you pick it up or we send it back. Did you know that you can register with parcel pickup and have all your packages sent there also it's self-serve. Please, it's right next to the supermarket our backs hurt. Do something for the environment, :)!".

  • It's also "sites directed at a German audience", but using that as a justification for DNS bans is rare. I guess practically more relevant is that German google isn't serving up those international sites.

    German law doesn't require 100% security when it comes to youth protection stuff, not only would that be impossible but it's also not the intent, because once kids are old enough to actively seek something out, they're by and large old enough to consume it. What youth protection really cares about is not having kids just stumble over things they have no reference frame for.

  • It's kinda weird seeing this from Germany: Around here porn websites always required a proper age check ("are you 18" banners don't suffice), which in effect means that the few porn sites that are hosted in Germany are paid (if you're paying, an age check is trivial). That doesn't mean that the rest is inaccessible, but it certainly doesn''t have a .de TLD. It's just how laws written for the offline age translated to online.

    What's stopping pornhub from having a similar strategy in France? Continue to accept French IPs for the international version, paywall the French version.
