Plagiarism has nothing to do with copyright law. Plagiarism is a moral violation, not a legal one.
That is nonsense. You can not "plagiate" without a copy right infringement.
After all you copy the work of the original author.

And: in some countries it is a crime. E.g. Acquiring a PhD via plagiarism, is not a simple legal problem it is fraud, which is a hefty crime.

Not everyone using AI is using it for code.

See all the pictures or movies ...

Those who I know, fix the problems right away. No one lets them accumulate, neither with AI nor without.

Only Scrum/Agile haters pile up bugs and defects and depts in an issue tracker, and then blame Scrum/Agile for it.

Perhaps you once should use a chat program.

For example google "irc" or if you like to run stuff only locally, try "talk", cough cough ...

Hint: an email is not a chat message.
EMails are not chatting.

And: the problem of "end to end encryption" is not solved with eMail ... or are your mails on "what ever your device is" encrypted? Likely they are not ...

No idea why the internet is full with idiots that propose a solution to a problem, that is completely different.

q) Hey mate, how can I can pay with my mobile phone via QR codes?

a) Use cash, idiot!

Oh, thanks you moron ...

France is a country.

The people using what ever solution they use: are not necessarily in that country. Even if you count remote territories as "in the country".

So IP4 versus IP6 is hardly an argument in either direction.

No idea where this IP4 versus IP6 numbers come from anyway: everybody here has IP6 *and* IP4.

The most backyard the country, the more modern is the internet infrastructure, and the more they have IP6.

Comment Re:Radioactivity from Coal [Re:Smells fishy to me] (Score 1) 144

In General the coals we burn here do not contain Thorium.
That was my point: not all coal (how would that even be remotely possible) contains radioactive elements.

Coal mostly comes from ancient forests that grew on top soil in standard vanilla "Jungle Conditions" - where would the radioactivity/thorium/uranium come from?

I hope they're monitoring radon levels as I'd guess German buildings are also very well sealed now a days to save energy.
Most are.
But we usually have no Radon detectors. At least I am not aware of any.

Comment Re:He's from Iran (Score 1) 25

The regime in Iran is totalitarian and looks down on women.

The population is not.

You might get away killing your wife in a court ... but then again, some cultures do some things right: the relatives take the cause ...

You do not get away in Iran by murdering a woman - just because. You know very little about that country.

Btw. which country in the world has the highest percentage of women with an academic title?

Comment Re:Secure key distribution mechanism (Score 1) 107

You generate the keys on the device.
Obviously, you can make the app malicious, and just sent the key(s) to the mothership anyway.

However the principle is to generate the key pair on the device and sent the public one home and to communication partners.

It gets a bit more tricky, when you have multiple devices that need to have the same private key. But it is not complicated.
