That is likely indeed, because in the interview, she explicitly mentions that New York is also questioning that practice.

And in other news, the Trump appointed ambassador in Belgium, Bill White, is fine with adult men sucking the blood from a baby penis. And if you think I'm kidding, no I'm not. Some of those boys end up with herpes, but it's a

Ah yes, freedom of speech for the Europeans! And when we travel to US, they need to check our social media to see if our opinions align with the US government.

The problem I mostly see with non programmers is that they don't really grasp the concept of a consistent system. A lot of people want X, but they also want Y, while clearly X and Y cannot coexist in the same system.

I think it all depends on the use case and a luck factor. Sometimes I instruct copilot/claude to do a development (stretching it's capabilities), and it does amazingly well. Mind you that this is front-end development, so probably

You can't expect them to fix everything all at once. What about the hardware? Let them focus on offering a payment system, and let others focus on their thing.

I'm confident to go a step further and say there is no deal. Greenland and Denmark weren't present to make a deal. And to quote Trump: "Well, the deal is going to be put out pretty soon and we'll see. It's right now

I really love this clip: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/W_UE7h3nTmQ When the reporter asks: "Does it still include US having ownership of Greenland?" Trump: "Um....eh...." All this posturing and he

Nice way of avoiding the main question: What deal? There is no new deal between Greenland/Denmark and US.

Then tell us what powers does the Dutch NATO chief has to make a deal in name of Greenland and Denmark. Trump got empty hands, he got totally played by the nice words of Rutte. Edit: Your conversation is really mind boggling: "Trump go

You skipped the part where I said I work with Ukrainians? I work with them on a weekly basis for 13 years. > Can you show an Ukrainian law that allows men to freely cross the border? Did I say he crossed it legally? He crossed it illegal

Honest question: why do you comment when you clearly have no idea what you are talking about? You make all kinds of false claims, and then people who actually know have to correct you.

> Very unlikely. Well, the guy I know fled Ukraine last year, and is now alive and well abroad. So I would say very likely.

Survival is all about being prepared for all kinds of scenarios, adapting to the situation, and a ton of luck. I rather have a few weapons, than no weapons at all.

That depends on a lot of personal things. I remember a Ukrainian I personally know, leaving after the 2014 invasion. When Russia was doing "exercises" at their border in 2022, I asked them in a meeting what they felt (guys living

I work with plenty of people from Ukraine. And recently, someone went abroad. So it's definitely still possible.

Do you feel Europeans have a better friendship with Canada for example? I mean before Trump was elected of course.

Maybe it's a US specific thing? I do a lot of hiring, and here in Europe it's quite challenging to find good developers. Once we do, we try to keep them. So at least for us, developers still have a lot of bargaining power.

Turning your allies into non-allies sounds like a great plan in these circumstances.

I like my politicians to be professional.

Those groups you mention are also not monolithic entities.

by koonsolo 9mo ago
Every group is diverse. You want me to specify it to each individual? China as a country of course, what else?

by koonsolo 9mo ago
China is predictable, since they act in self intrest. No idea what the hell US is doing.

Some problems solve themselves, and other problems multiply. Knowing the difference is key.

ALL Russians cheered when they annexed Crimea, and NONE of them want to give it back to Ukraine, because NONE of them believe it belongs to Ukraine, counter to international agreement. You might think this is normal, I don't. And

Beloved still today, because he made/makes them feel superior. Reminds me a bit of another leader around that same period. He also made his countrymen feel superior. That one is not beloved today anymore, and maybe that's the reas

I see it differently. They won't say Ukraine because Russians see themselves as superior to Ukrainians. So anything that might imply Ukrainians might have or do something better, is out of the question. It cannot compute in their brain

by koonsolo 9mo ago
So the 2014 annexation was OK but the 2022 invasion not?

> Russia is not a warmonger, in an important sense Sure, no. More than a million casualties in this war, it is definitely just 'grey zone' tactics.
