Cooperation is never a zero sum game compared to non-cooperation. That is pretty much the definition of it. And for example free trade is a flavour of it.

Europe produces alternatives to Patriot (Aster). And ATACMS are not crucial in any way, these days it is Ukrainian produced long range drones that do the most damage behind the lines. Starlink is where it would hurt though.

Neither did Ukraine, and here they are. But Europe is not at war. It is Ukraine that is. But they need help with equipment, and balancing their budget. This is what they are asking for, nothing else. Much fewer than 500k soldiers are needed

Europe has a military. Combined, the second military power in the world if you look at military budget. It is as people totally forgot about it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_highe...

What do you think about making your salary your top priority?

This is the same thing that the US government is doing for you. Divesting from the rest of the world by introducing tariffs. Enjoy!

Yes, but France and UK has working nuclear weapons, my point is that it may give protection to build on them especially when their previous ally leaves the space. AFAIK USA pays more for healthcare per capita per person. It is not about eco

Note that "US as a threat" was a strawman argument. (Although USA has threatened to occupy EU territory in the last weeks.) It does not have to be a threat, but if Europe should take more responsibility for their own defense, it w

Although your comments are technically correct I think the bigger picture may still make this relevant. These are not normal times and I believe USA also hired foreign nationals to top secret programs during and after WWII.

I guess the EU should hire them, since they probably need to enhance their nuclear weapon capabilities now.

Some times I think that would actually be useful for some politicians that do not care about history and prior knowledge. * Rule of law is a good idea * Dictatorship is a bad idea * Allowing Germany to occpy Sudetenland in the Münich appeas

Thank you for your explanation! I still believe you gloss over the terror all the countries you list have caused to the population. And it can not all be blamed on imperialism and "other states". I come from one of the "middl

IIRC BigQuery started allowing trailing commas in queries around 2019. It all came as a very big surprise, out of thin air.

Humans make mistakes too. I find this "LLMs can be wrong" argument a bit tiresome, and also a bit lazy. I feel like we have been here before. With wikipedia. With stack overflow. Or with the whole debate about c/assembler vs

A single verb, while technically not a complete sentence, can be made into a question by adding a question mark. And it was intended as a rhetorical response to your single word statement. Anyway. Socialism has failed in many/most plac

In Sweden, with scalars, we used vertically centered dot, but even that is pretty uncommon since most of the time, two letters or a letter and a number are mixed and then it is left it out altogether. This made the x problem much smaller.

Yeah that is quite obviously the strength of a paper with rulers. But if you just slightly misalign your lines it will look even uglier. You'll just have to learn to draw straight lines. Or trade one benefit for the other.

Also, when I look at the prices on amazon.se it looks like they cost around 5-10c each, a bit hefty for a student. Another note, it was actually surprisingly difficult even to get a hold of blank paper notepads in Sweden in the 90s. At leas

My tip is to use white paper. No lines no squares, just white. In Sweden you were expected to use paper with squares but it adds a lot of clutter.

And the weather does not care about farmers either. It is obviously a completely unfinished thought. But something about humans innate tendency to self-organise into tribes and villages.
