The EU plans to do so and as such every member must follow it.

And once encryption is criminalized, it can be trivially detected - or at least assumed to be encrypted if your message is sufficiently random.

Weird, for me the indentation renders correctly. Maybe because I used Jerboa and single ticks instead of triple ticks?

It's impossible to have a 0% false positive rate, it will never be ready and innocent people will always be affected. The only way to have a 0% false positive rate is with the following algorithm:

def is_shoplifter(face_scan):
return False

Do Italian professors know their students' names? Over here, two countries to the North, no professor knows anything about their students.

You withdraw cash at an ATM but the software has faulty code which causes your balance to remain the same after withdrawing any amount.

You notice this and then empty the entire ATM this way, making $200,000. I'm sure once you explain to the jury that the ATM just gave you a bad contract, they will acquit you.

Placebos work even when you knows it's a placebo though. Pointing out something is a placebo is important because many are at best overpriced scams (homeopathy) and at worst actively harmful (chiropracty). The culture behind many placebos is also rife with pseudoscience and advocates against seeking out genuine care, so you should ensure nobody gets invested into placebos past a certain point.

One can make an informed decision regarding taking placebos if and only if one knows it's a placebo, else one will be scammed and/or harmed.

This is the GutHub project by the way:

Clearly, a project whose last commit was 12 years ago should be more than enough evidence that she hacked WorldCat.

Yeah, you're right.

But I'm a little optimistic. The image being widely used for decades is a symptom, not the cause of women being unwelcome.

With it being finally banned, it seems like this is changing. Hopefully this means the root cause, misogyny in tech, is at an all time low.

There shouldn't even be admission based on what you score in some random test. My (non-US) university accepted everyone who applied, at least for my field of study. Does that mean many people drop out after a semester or two? Absolutely, but there are countless people completing their studies who would have never gotten a chance to do so otherwise. Why shouldn't they be allowed to prove themselves?

The problem is with the development ceasing. The source code will remain, but if there'z no dedicated team developing bugs will not be fixed and features will not be added.

I mean, you're not wrong, though even the US has rather lax copyright compared to some other countries.

Ever seen a Mercedes A class? I don't think anyone pretending to be rich drove those, at least the older models from the early 2000s.
