By our generations “best and brightest”, supposedly. At least, most well compensated. Shame on you, if you work for these organisations.

Why should the Germans be more worried about AfD than the people who have been running the show for the last decades? After all, they’re not the ones who have implemented disastrous policy one after another.

The television set was never in every kids pocket, though. And obviously "lol don't buy your kid a smartphone then lol". sure, easy to say, but the world is getting more and more connected.

This is completely wrong. Even “the poor” in most parts of the world has a pretty good life weight where they are. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hVimVzgtD6w&pp=ygUMSGFucyByb3N...

Very common. I work for a factory that produces a type of heavy machinery that is in extreme demand. Any person with any semblance of foresight, would understand that in the near to medium term, this will be the case. During COVID, there wa

Europe is not a homogenous thing. There are wast cultural differences (although the Americanisation has been in full swing for a long time).

Yes. Like I said, this works well in Switzerland, where stupid decisions are at least made jointly, not by some career politicians. Makes it easier to slowly make changes. The key point is to keep things local - what works in Zürich doesn’t

Your obvious solution is wrong, though. The right wing is just as eager to implement a police state. The correct answer is decentralisation of power, and put the government back in the hands of the people. That means frequent voting(multipl

When did the UK use to be free? Seems to me this is a cultural issue that runs deep. You are his majesty’s loyal subject, like it or not, and more importantly, you are a subject of his bureaucracy. The US works in a similar fashion, except

Ok, sounds like a feature, not a bug.

The problem is the same everywhere - The masses rely on income from their occupation, while the ruling elite rely on capital typically amassed by their forefathers, olden day aristocrats. And income from work is stagnating.

Why, do you think the Chinese believe this illegal blockade by the US will cease? China would be stupid not to show some force

In Switzerland you can have guns, so it’s just factually wrong.

None of those things are better in America than in Switzerland. Unlike the US, Switzerland has the added bonus of having a very stable democracy.

My father, who used to be a power plant mechanic, and before that a ship mechanic , helped install converted old aeroplane turbines from decommissioned US bomber planes in the 70s(we are Swedes) for use as power plants. I think the turbine

Agreed. Seems to me that for vibe coding you want 1) prevent as many run time errors as possible at compile time ( Rust ) 2) use a language that is well supported by the community with countless examples ( Python )

What do you mean, secret? Your every action online is stored in massive data centres either operated by the US government or American mega corporations. I can’t believe people STILL believe there is anonymity left online! Unless you take so

I use Let’s Encrypt. It is an amazing service and I am forever grateful. However, it is time for a second source of free certificates. It is not good that we rely on one supplier.

Absolutely. I am blown away by LLMs - now using ChatGPT to help me write some python scripts in seconds, minutes, that used to take me hours, weeks. Yet, when I ask a question, or wish to discuss something on here, I do it because I want in

The Palestinians are now living in an open air prison due to foreigners who came to their homeland with weapons. What do you expect them to do?

I work in the energy sector. I test high voltage gas insulated switchgear for a living. With this setup, you would need batteries that can sustain load for weeks on end, in many parts of the world.

Who said without others? You don't need tanks for peacekeeping missions. Or jets for that matter. FWIW I was in Kosovo and served in a multionational task force including the Irish. they were based next to some chicken farm, lord knows
