There are more lobbyists in Brussels that EU public servants. I guess that corpos don't spend this kind of big money for nothing.

Sorry but do you imply interns are going to be paid? In Europe? /s

The EU existed for a long time now and you could replace all of this with bilateral organisations focused on narrow topics, rather than a bureaucratic body with an open agenda and no real checks and balances.

I still remember the articles saying that Britons will have no food on shelves after Brexit.

Have you considered that the goal in life is not necessarily for societies to maximize dollars in the bank account? Or that pushing the strategy to its limits may be short sighted, and come with massive long term costs and externalies? In t

France has an extensive medium and high-speed rail network and is not an authoritarian state. This is purely an administrative issue. Why do HN believe that there are only two alternatives : the US and China?

I'm not against restricting internal tourism as well, at least the most destructive forms, such as cruises for instance. It's not just a question of CO2 pollution, but of human ecology as well: cities like Venice, Lisbon and Barce

I don't understand, you want to create a copy of Venice? The issue is not just the pollution from air travel, but also the types of consumption and ways of life that it enables. Besides ressources are not unlimited so even if you have

The EU laws apply to every State in the same way and do not have to be rewritten to be transposed, especially for ex-nihilo new taxes like this one.

I'm not sure that mass air transit has a place in a post-oil society were we try to leave at peace with the planet. Not just for the carbon impact, but also for the diversity of our species and cultures. Should every Chinese and Indian

It also depends on your social and professional background. If you are an orthodox jew, you will likely have the maximum pressure. On the other hand, my wife, who was a lawyer, was fired from from a Big4 when they suspected that she was pre

You are right; last time I tried it I used the cloud console as I needed gemini with the places tool included. However: "Experimental: The feature is experimental and limited in scope. You are subject to overages for around a 10 minute

On top of being the hardest website to navigate, Google console a) doesn't have real time billing (!) b) doesn't allow you to set a budget limit. Sorry but it's not worth waking up with a 100k$ bill, fix your platform first.

Finnish people are actually quite warm and welcoming. I know that they like to say that they are introverts, but each time I spend time there I find it very easy to engage, and always have people talking to me (even if it is to warn me of s

Estonians are proudly and openly antisocial. Saying "Tere" (hi) to a cashier will only get you a stare from her, they openly joke online that they never talked to their neighbors after a decade of living there. Interestingly, cars

EU parliamentaries don't initiate laws, and, during the "trilogue" with the EC and the Council, they don't hold the pen on the final version. If any entity is "self-sabotaging", it's the European Commissio

This is neither a far-left, far-right or centrist measure. It's a pure technocratic one, where the State and its minions believes optimize for control over the population, and matters like "privacy" or "resilience"

Good luck when the last non-Chinese frontier labs will have closed and the CCP will ask to stop sharing models open source.

The solution to the STD epidemic was moralizing teenagers to tell them to put on condoms. I was told personally several times in sex ed, biology classes and on-the fly by teachers and adults that condoms were not an option for casual sex. I

Same here, also it lies often to me or implements something else that what was planned. It feels quite strange to see it say casually "I didn't tell you the full truth on X" when I notice the issues. At the same time, maybe i

It is totally a fact, many people and officials in France believe that AC is a major contributor to climate change. The public (and very well funded) ecology body, the ADEME, has been at war with AC for a long time now[1]. You can see the s

I don't think so Anthropic models are not used to distribute fake copies of books. Excerpts, maybe, but that's fair use.

Fast fashion importers such as Zara already do JIT delivery to the stores and very short series. They can adapt easily because they have the capital, but this will hurt smaller brands that can't.

It looks like a great opportunity for mafia networks to get paid by clothing brands in order to dispose of the stocks.

I think that it's quite clear in the digital era that you can't steal bits that are free to copy.

France had to reduce nuclear maintenance for a long time to pay for the EU rules that forces it to give discounted nuclear electricity to private producers, which led to the situation you mentioned. Besides, french nuclear is important in s

Sand used to make concrete is a finite ressource, and extremely polluting to extract. Why wouldn't we save it and build lasting buildings?

You don't really own a latrine, but just look for it for the next generation.
