Allegations of the breach of sexual consent isn't really related to freedom of the press. But you're completely right in that this case reeks, and that was probably an diplomatic play. As an international player, Sweden, like all

Most people who don't know how AI really works, all seem to think tht it's the AI that is intrinsically dangerous. Except for AI to be effective, you need an organization, you need caretakers, and you need a body that directs it.

Why is this not a good thing? Could you please expand upon this, or offer some sources that support your claim? Isn't it also the case that lowered exposure to general pathogens, also decreases general tolerance and resistance to them,

Have you ever been in one? I visited the one that Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) had at Marienlyst in Oslo. This is before I knew anything about anechoic chambers and the sort. It was called The Dead Room... The first thing I noti

You’re completely right about attrition. It’s true on more levels than one! Staying power is often underestimated, but IMHO it also requires that you’re careful about not burning out. That’s where keeping things enjoyable comes in. If it’s

It took me 40 years to get this good at guitar. So naturally, I'm fairly good at playing the guitar. Or I suppose that's an understatement. I'm probably better than most people on this entire forum, yet I never practised a si

Is that really true, though? As far as I know it's based on disposable income after tax and necesary living expenses. Meanwhile if it's a businessman without a stated income that year, the court may still base the fine on net wort
