From experience, regulation as an explanation for EU startup competitiveness is overused so much it's almost meaningless. Can you point out specific laws that you consider existential for startups? What I find matters way, way more is

A judgement is by necessity subjective. Have a look at some sentencing remarks, for example this, point 19 forward: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Wayne-Co... Someone has to make a

This is nonsense though. What does "better" mean in this case? A judge is not a black box with an input (the case) and an output (the verdict), the entire point of having a judge is to have empathy, conscience, and personal respon

That's not about nationality though. That PR is about (re)enabling OpenTofu to work more smoothly with Russian SaaSes, which are either already sanctioned or are likely to be sanctioned. Everything is political, being "apolitical&

There is nothing wrong with PRNGs, they are perfectly cryptographically secure when used correctly. In fact, AES-CTR is just XORing the plaintext with a pseudo-random generator (AES'd counter + initialiser). The problem is bad and misu

It's unfortunate that the article doesn't point at the most obvious cause of the shortage: Russia deliberately and systematically destroying Ukrainian power grid for three years, and Western unwillingness to put a stop to that. Th

I genuinely don't understand what compelled you to make this comment. One is a tiny enclave with just a handful of transformers and a rudimentary power grid. Another is the biggest country in Europe, home to about 40 million people, wi

Any medical system inevitably has limits of what they can spend per patient. Do you prefer the limit to be set and enforced by the government that is amenable to political process, or anonymous profit-seeking insurance company board members

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and hearsay and unnamed "statistical estimates" are hardly extraordinary. The claim is definitely extraordinary since both wars are extensively documented, and we just know (lik

Alright, let's reframe this: - AcmeShop is paying Facebook money to run a targeted marketing campaign on Facebook - to do this, in practice AcmeShop is forced to share visit data with Facebook (this bit could be done differently, but

When Facebook is showing ads for items on Facebook Marketplace based on a customer visiting AcmeShop, for Facebook it's not "remarketing". It's only "remarketing" when AcmeShop does it. For Facebook, it's
