From german wikipedia: It was a practice called Buntschießen, ~ multi-color shooting, as German chemical weapons were color-coded. One would start with “Maskenbrechern” ~mask-breakers (blue) , designed to force soldiers to remove their masks, which were then followed by lung-affecting agents (green).

I’m having the same problem. this kind of nested argument is quite annoying to program in e.g. argp. i am even thinking of using a minimal forth like parser to do this.

awesome! thanks the tip!

I’m using vim mode in my bash and i agree that a mode indicator would be nice

agree. at the same time i wonder whether the usual authentication system is adequate given a) the sensitive nature of the data and b) the data’s implications for people who have not signed up, e.g., if my cousin signs up and provides data, the data he provides is not really his but, in a way, also mine. so, i wonder how much data processing is really covered by my cousin’s consent, given that it is not really his data alone, and whether, given this circumstances, special provisions should have been provided by the processor.

(personally i tend to believe that companies like 23&me should not exist in the first place, given that their operation requires processing of sensitive data from people who have not consented to the use of their data, i.e. processing of relational data should require consent of all related partners.)

no

yeah i agree. my post was more generally aimed at the bot’s author.

would it be possible to add a little bit of context to the bot’s posts? title+subtitle really isn’t much

thanks! but i can’t access the site (certificate expired some certificate related error, then, page not found). I’ll try again later

i feel like half the article is missing
