Nein, andersrum wird ein Schuh draus.

Wenn du den Spanischen Frauennamen normal Spanisch aussprichst sind das drei ungerundete halbgeschlossene Vorderzungenvokale.

Wenn du die Deutsche Automarke normal Deutsch aussprichst ist es erst ein ungerundeter halboffener Vorderzungenvokal, dann ein ungerundeter halbgeschlossener Vorderzungenvokal und am Ende ein Schwa.

Iirc the car is named after the daughter of the inventor.

Not the inventor and it’s a bit more complicated. Emil Jellinek was selling Daimler cars, and had them participate in races for publicity. His daughter was called Mercédès Adrienne Ramona Jellinek. The historical record is a bit unclear, either he used her name as a pseudonym for a racer, or he christened one of the cars after her. In any case they won that race, gaining the name some notority which he and the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft used for further marketing later on.

Häh wie sprichst du das denn aus? Offensichtlich überhaupt nicht /mɛʁˈt͡seːdəs/ wie alle anderen? In Spanisch sind sie gleich, in Deutsch alle unterschiedlich, genau wie in Englisch.

I wonder who made all those countries want to join a defensive pact. Almost like there was a threat.

The real issue isn’t the overproduction per se, but that we (globally speaking) don’t have enough cheap scalable responsive distributed storage. I’m writing this from a privileged position since Switzerland has loads of dams and can pump water during such peaks. But it’s clear that’s not the solution everywhere. I hope a good cheap mass producible battery tech with less rare earth metal requirements comes along soon.

Probably this whole list, there is lots of code shared with Windows 7, but who really knows? Nobody is checking against Vista anymore.

Now I want a cute girl anime where the cute girls are HEMA nerds.

Instead of Girls & Panzer make it Girls & Zweihänder

I’m surprised by this bit:

Part of the reason for the campaign’s move was the result of an FEC ruling this year that a candidate’s campaign and outside groups could coordinate their canvassing efforts with super PACs, and specifically share voter lists and data that they collect door to door. It means campaigns could share much of their labor- and cost-heavy ground efforts with groups that can take unlimited donations.

I thought the PACs need to be independant of the campaign and that’s how they don’t fall under campaign finance laws? Why would they suddenly be allowed to coordinate so closely?

Locked bootloaders can prevent that. Or proprietary hardware drivers can make it unworkable.

except that “man” wasn’t gendered at the time.

But I included that, didn’t I?

and back then “man” still refered to male and female persons

Or do you mean rather than male and female, I should have said persons regardless of gender? I guess that makes more sense.

Since the thread has grown large and I had trouble finding the comment I’ll just link it here (sorry the link is instance specific, it seems you can’t make relative ones)

That doesn’t sound right…

From what I remember “woman” comes from “wifman”, which is a compound of “wif” and “man”, and back then “man” still refered to male and female persons, and “wer” and “wif” were male and female persons respectively.

Unrelated to triangles, I mean, sorry! Of course it’s very topical.

Great joke man! The unrelated Greek term plausibly masquarading as another geometical term, brilliant!

I vote that it should. Sounds like good drama, the kind you’d expect seeing a love-triangle tag on a fancfiction site.

Maybe some Lua, as a treat?

Who speaks about how hot a person is to a crowd just before they are slated to join you on the stage anyway? Ultra cringe.

First of all patents run out generally after 20 years. And then everyone can use your technology.

The whole idea of patents is incitivising inventors to publish their invention for everyone to see. In exchange they get a period of exclusivity. This way they also don’t have to deal with as many trade secrets.

Those two domains are as close to each other as google.com and facebook.com or thepiratebay.org and wikipedia.org or mit.edu and stanford.edu

To make the point more explicit: sharing a TLD doesn’t mean shit.
