You are right it is not genocide. It is however ethnic cleansing.

Could it be a beachhead to a future social network?

Of course we will be next. This is something I factored in already when he was elected. I read you had a politician that proposed a global coalition where all countries that are being threatened by Trump aligns on retaliatory measures. I th

Free vs hot makes a very big difference in this case since Norway is well known for its lunch culture. What matters: is it free or is it not?

I don't think the most reliable systems in the world were Unix ones. At least, if you compare systems at that time, you should compare with what the telephone operators were using. They had legal requirements you would not find in the

The good thing about this that it is a Nix OS without systemd, not NixOS without systemd. systemd is so well integrated in NixOS that any attempt to introduce an abstraction to make it pluggable would come with serious disadvantages. I am a

Not only a business risk. It also becomes a moral imperative to avoid if you can. Don't support bullies, is my motto. It can be hard to completely avoid, but it is important to try.

Reminds me about a Donald Knuth quote. He did not want to be on the top of things, he wanted to be on the bottom of things. To be on top of things is a kind of project manager trait, and to be on the bottom of things an engineering trait -

Did anyone see this coming? That Trump would rename it? I don't live in the US but over here I never heard about any controversy about the name.

Would be interesting to learn in what countries the executive branch actually involves itself in such matters as the naming of geographical features. Where I live, authorities are autonomous and this kind of micromanaging is not allowed.

What is new since last time is AI. Can Pebble act as interface here? Or would that be the wrong fit and its niche should remain the same?

Not a good comparison. The English Channel is the most busy maritime route in the world. The Baltic Sea accounts for 15 % of the world's maritime transportation so is also busy, even if less than the English Channel by no means "m

Good question. Seems pretty clear the new administration doesn't believe in such concepts.

Furthermore, police, coast guard and defense is involved in the case.

Completely unrelated to the article but at least related to home automation: is there something that can be used to detect if a door is locked or not? I am sure there is something that replaces the entire lock to allow automation, but I am

I think this is probably right. But does that mean that cancer, cardivascular disease, ALS, Parkinson, etc etc human diseases are incredibly rare among animals?

I see it as Nov 6 was when he crossed a border without return. He showed his cards. He lost that day, but he wins now, so prevailed in the end.

Regarding Rome. I am thinking the same and what comes to my mind is Caesar. Trump crossed the Rubicon on January 6 and prevailed. Now history will tell how far this analogy will hold but what makes me think of it as fitting is that it mar

How would they prevent it? Using military force? Because if it becomes an existential question, the drive to achieve it will be very high. Also, the intelligence complex has failed to stop countries like North Korea, so I don't think t

My prediction: as European countries feel increasingly estranged from the US they will gravitate towards China. Some recent statements from Trump makes you wonder there is any friendliess remaining in the relationship. Perhaps better to pla

Where I work, which granted is a very large company, the enterprise architects focus on ERP processes, logistic flows, how prices flow from the system where they are managed to the places that need them, and so on. They are several levels r

My bet is that we will see Poland to become the next nuclear weapons state. Possibly in collaboration with some neighbours around the Baltic Sea. Who knows, maybe Ukraine joins

If the US rhetoric continues it will not be long until you will see some currently non-nuclear EU countries start talking about contingency options. It will take a while, but it is good to remember that the reason there are so few nuclear w

I don't think it easily could have gone another way. Progress follows incentives, and money is a strong incentive. Only very fundamental changes to copyright and "publishing accountability" legislation could have put us on an

In Stockholm there now is, in addition to the well known Vasa museum, a museum about wrecks. It is called Vrak (Wreck) and is about wrecks in the Baltic Sea mainly. It is more of the interactive kind, no big wrecks on display, but smaller a
