Even if mankind is lucky with everything else, in 500-800 million years the sun's increased luminosity will render Earth uninhabitable for higher life forms (as we know them) [0]. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

Possibly they think they can make up what they lost in good will and cooperation with blackmail and pressure. It is doubtful it will work as reliably as in the past, though (second order effects even left aside).

But the money is coming out of our pockets. The costs of the ads are added to product prices, which everyone is paying.

On essential goods the prices can still be high enough to make everyone poor.

It was not rude but a reasonable assumption. Let's revisit what we discussed: >>Usually LE in European countries will not respect warrants from another country if it does not make sense in the local jurisdiction as well. > &gt

Sorry, but you should really read the links: "On 5 April 2018, the Oberlandesgericht (Higher State Court) in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein ruled that Puigdemont would not be extradited on charges of rebellion, and released him

That delay is concerning, obviously. But how should we judge that, without any further insights? However, usually it works more like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carles_Puigdemont#Arrest_in_Ge... https:/&#

With any number of intelligence services in the USA I would not really be calmed by the prospect that an ordinary cop cannot do that. What you are claiming about European cops is also not uniformly true. A German police officer cannot &quot

Again, nobody would spend a dime to create the technical documentation, even if it could be done somewhat faster with AI support. Also, in my experience AI is not so great explaining the consequences to business processes when documenting c

In ERP software there are MLOCs without any technical documentation. And nobody would spend a dime to create one. So, the deep expert knowledge on how business processes are supposed to work (in full detail) and how they are implemented is

You mean, ensuring repairability would be hard? I bet. And exceptions could be made where a change of technology makes aspects of the car non-functional (3G vanishing). On the other hand, the choice of contractors/suppliers, contracts

At least in places with strong consumer rights I imagine there could be regulation to force vendors keeping their old cars repairable.

You have a very static view there. In my estimation the US is on the way down, at least economically/financially. Their internal stability is already somewhat broken. It will be hard to continue to project power without real allies and

The question is if the Chinese support for Russia can be broken, by economical incentive or threat. But anyway, over short or long the EU needs to build its own military to a strength it can at least work as a strong deterrence for aggresso

Very bold words. I am not even convinced the USA will stay relevant on the world stage, in the long run. Cutting ties hurts, but the process is underway. Also, "vassalage" is a bold word, if the US cannot make the EU give up Green

That is why I was talking about civil aircraft. With the waiting list for those aircraft Airbus can stay relevant for a very long time.

Not even that. I doubt there are many governments that would not find ways to naturalize a billionaire, if they are willing to invest.

For a company the costs of raising and educating humans are only a fraction of their taxes, which they might mostly avoid anyway. The costs of employing a nurse (robotic or human) for a year are much more relevant. And there I am skeptical
86.
by generic92034 7mo ago
It would require several breakthroughs in robotics and AI to automate a nurse's job. And then it would still be unlikely that this kind of automation is saving costs.

It is just so that the CEO can claim they are an "AI first" company and the shareholders might believe that the company is not being eaten by AI but profits from it. Check the claims of the software vendors whose stocks have falle
