Ich glaub bei vielen ist es auch einfach ein hin und her zwischen: "Erderwärmung gibt's nicht", wenn gerade wieder mal ein gutes Argument dafür da ist und "können wir eh nix machen" wenn die Argumente ausgehen. Hauptsache man muss nix ändern.

"Wissenschaftler ist kein geschützter Begriff. Jeder kann sich Wissenschaftler nennen."

Gleichzeitig irgendwelchen Hohlköpfen auf Facebook jedes Wort aus der Hand lecken und denen die Eier graulen für ihre genialen Einblicke hinter die Kulissen der großen Verschwörer.

extremen Ausnahmefällen

Das wird dann eben zum Streitpunkt. Ist der jeweils betrachtete Fall so ein extremer Ausnahmefall oder nicht? Gibt man die Mittel zu leichtfertig raus, sind es keine Ausnahmen mehr. Schon gar keine extremen Ausnahmen.

In Germany for specialists it's quite normal.

My dermatologist only makes appointments 3 to 6 months in advance. Same with my pulmonologist. I heard psychologist appointments are often enough between one and two years in advance (if you want to start a new therapy).

Vacation is another such thing. Some employers require you to plan your vacation time at the beginning of the year so they don't end up with a whole department being gone at the same time. Of course I need to factor that into my calender then so I don't put other appointments/promises in there.

Weddings and large birthday parties are also often announced and planned far ahead. I need to block that in my calender as well.

And so on.

So you don't schedule any doctor appointments and never buy tickets to concerts or other events in the future? Huh....

That's not easier than not needing a VPN in the first place.

Piracy has never been easier or safer or faster than it is now

What?! It was way easier and safer in the era of Napster, edonkey and emule. Easy discoverability and companies didn't pay any attention yet. Since then it's a cat and mouse game.

That could help, but if a file is not shared that much (yet) or not many people are online at the moment, a single peer will still share many more parts, likely ending up with having shared significant amounts.

That is essentially how bittorrent works anyway. In Germany people lost in court over this. Also portions of a copyrighted file are a problem. If they can "proof" that they got a relevant portion (more than the typical fair use seconds) you are still on the hook.

Nice idea, but then everytime a video that contains anything licensed by the content mafia is uploaded (even partly), the user in question breaks that license opening themselves up to lawsuits.

In a perfect world where only properly free content is shared that model would work. But that is not how most content shared on YouTube looks like.

I would love to upgrade to one, but from tests I gathered that they have an exceedingly bad idle power draw. Given that the card would idle most of the time, I don't really want to waste power on it if nvidia and amd manage to stay far lower.
