I think that the third parties who have been granted access to the civil registry should be audited on a regular basis for the “best practices” of the day. Similar to the participants of the payment systems like VISA or MC that are regularly audited for PCI standards.

To use Python/Java you have to download and install an OS. (Though some versions might run on bare metal)

Yes, because when you sell it, you get cash and profit. Profit is taxable, in Germany they tax it with 25% + Solidarity Tax + Church Tax (if you are a member of a church). After, you can go ahead and buy another fund, but in between you "shed" a significant amount of money.

For the Apollo spacecrafts:

Albanian, managed to understand till 1300. Then it gets more germanic i think, though I speak a bit of German as well, the characters make it a bit difficult to parse.

“Swie!” is interesting, I understood it somehow naturally. In Gheg Albanian we say “Shuj!”, which means “Be silent!”.

> but if cancer were easy for the immune system to deal with nobody would die of it.

This made me think, whether it would somehow make sense that cancer cells on another host would be detected by the immune system of that host. Theoretically, these immune cells have different “initialization parameters” so to say and maybe they could show affinity to the foreign cancer cells.

But then again I am not an expert and this is just a pure speculation.

It’s the other way around, DHL is owned by Deutsche Post AG.

Pileus (plis) can be found amongst older Albanians (especially on the north) to this day.

The same way they calculate the VAT for Germany.

Congratulations on the successful launch!

> .. I’d listen to the Voice of America..

I grew up listening to VoA as a kid as well, I was born in a then not so developed part of the Balkans. Sometimes I have the feeling that the ordinary Americans don't have a clue about the impact VoA had in the countries like ours.

This might be related with the case of Richard Scolyer, the Australian pathologist diagnosed with Glioblastoma. He was receiving some kind of experimental treatment for it.

This is exactly what I understood from the article. Your explanation didn't add anything extra.

Yes this is a widely circulating anecdote. That Minister was Mehmet Shehu[0], an interesting character in his own right.

I heard the news on BBC World Service for example.

Hetzner has a product which is a managed Nextcloud instance basically.

That's strange, I remember those forms were trilingual, 12 years ago. German, English and French.

Metabase is great, I use it with a Oracle Database.

They are required by law to provide the information once a year, for free. The complaint here is that the “free” report contains less information than the paid one. Information which could affect a decision about a loan or maybe a decision of some landlord about a prospective tenant.

In (Gheg) Albanian means fear

> Because that is what countries do when a part of them rebels and starts doing terror attacks on police.

Kosovo War happened later, not during the above mentioned period.

> On the other hand Albanians, as an ethnic group, had unprecedented political autonomy (Kosovo) and language rights in Yugoslavia.

It lasted for merely 15 years, from 1974 till 1989 when Milosevic and his clique brutally removed it. This autonomy was always a thorn in the eye of the serbian establishment and they never stopped their efforts to undermine it, which they succeeded in 1989.

> I agree with you on the ethnic Albanians though - they never made sense in Yugoslavia, the state of the South Slavs. Kosovo should be part of Albania and the Serbs need to shut up about it already.

That was the intention of the people gathered around Bujan Conference [0] during WWII. But their decision was replaced with another one later which was more "marxist".
