Of course it's possible, there are more heated and controversial topics than this one out there and Wikipedia tries to cover them all. But due to its wiki workflow Wikipedia never tried to stop the most maniacal editors from dominating

It's common to start constructing buildings before the design is even complete. And there can be huge "tech debt" disasters in civil engineering. Berlin Airport is one famous example.

Sure, but surely a city simulation is the perfect textbook use case for a cache-friendly architecture like ECS?

What platform did FTX create? Were there apps you could install into FTX? FTX was just an ordinary financial company, AFAICT. It had a bit of software to run the order book, but wasn't run by technical people, had no R&D effort and

The council also uses qualified majority voting and has done for nearly a decade. The Commission is the sole source of legislation. The Council cannot change EU law against the will of the Commission, so in practice it's a rubber stamp

Probably not really. The EU itself (at the Brussels level) doesn't have much of an intelligence apparatus. One exists but it's small and weak compared to the likes of the NSA. The most capable was GCHQ but of course that's no
