Beim Bau neuer Wohngebäude in der EU soll die Errichtung von Photovoltaikanlagen verpflichtend sein.

"Verpflichtend" im sinne von "Das Haus wird abgerissen, wenn man das nicht macht", oder im sinne von "Man bekommt weniger Fördergeld wenn man das nicht macht (wodurch der Bau vielleicht unwirtschaftlich wird)"

Die meisten "Ökonomen", die man so im Fernsehen sieht, sind Lobbyisten aus Neoliberalen Echokammern. (Die Anstalt berichtet https://www.claus-von-wagner.de/tv/anstalt/20171107-neoliberalismus )

Es gibt echte Ökonomen (also tatsächliche Wissenschaftler, die wissen wovon sie reden), wie z.B. den hier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pzOAvZaM3M

When you add a new lane to a road, people think that the traffic will be easier there, so they take that route instead of their normal one

so for these people the new lane will create marginal improvement, right?

But only temporarily

but is it?

I thought the temporal improvement would be for everyone who already used the high way (because they will get to their destination a little bit faster). And for the few extra people, who start to use the highway but didn't use it before, the improvment will stay.

Our societies have not previously tolerated spaces that are beyond the reach of
law enforcement, where criminals can communicate safely and child abuse can
flourish.

I am pretty sure, churches were "tolerated spaces" bevor e2ee was a thing.

is this declaration about e2e in general, or is there a specific new rollout they are referencing?

One’s an active decision

There are not so many quality notebooks without any brand-logos on them.

Also wearing a brand-logo when you have the choice not to, is kinda cringe.

the linux-file-deletion is used as a example for good software design. It has a very simple interface with little room for error while doing exactly what the caller intended.

In John Ousterhout's "software design philosophy" a chapter is called "define errors out of existence". In windows "delete" is defined as "the file is gone from the HDD". So it must wait for all processes to release that file. In Linux "unlink" is defined as "the file can't be accessed anymore". So the file is gone from the filesystem immediately and existing file-handles from other processes will life on.

The trade-off here is: "more errors for the caller of delete" vs "more errors due to filehandles to dead files". And as it turns out, the former creates issues for both developers and for users, while the later creates virtually no errors in practice.

Simple

it would be "simple", if start->settings wouldn't point me in an completely wrong direction. As it is, you need to know the secret phrase "device manager" (or "control panel" or "management console") to find the hidden settings-dialogs that will actually solve the problem.
