I was very surprised to see that it's localised (at least into German) and even has an imprint (in the German language version at least) despite being based in the UK. I guess my main concern with using it as a SaaS would be that it&#x

The short answer is that FSL was designed as an evolution of BSL that doesn't allow for as much variance in what the license means in practice, i.e. it got rid of the "additional grants" and mandates a shorter, fixed expirati

Or, y'know, more obviously: Saudi Arabia. The country the West loves doing business with and doesn't make a show of demonizing for public appeal.

Given that Russia is not facing an existential threat comparable to that of Nazi Germany, I don't think there's any way the conflict could be anywhere as driven as that. Could Russia mobilize more? Yes, absolutely. But based on wh

The limiting number for a "Russia goes bananas and decides to steamroll into Portugal" event, based on what we've seen in the invasion of Ukraine so far, seems to not be the number of soldiers but the amount of functional equ

You're comparing top-down structures with each other. We all live in top-down structures. Even Switzerland is a representational democracy (or a bunch of representational democracies in a trenchcoat) at its core. States are extremely a

Also the idea that "commitment to the rule of law" should be a virtue assumes high trust. It's entirely rational not to be "committed to the rule of law" in a society where law enforcement faces less scrutiny or r

Well, there's a good reason the Mises Institute is a right-wing libertarian think tank that is very blunt about wanting to abolish social welfare and workers' rights. This quote completely ignores real-world power dynamics and dis
