He's so inconsequential it hurts that the US made him this relevant. If he pops up again in national politics I'll blame the US.

I wasn't defending wikipedia or engaging on a penis fight on the internet for no reason. I added context, because it seemed you misunderstood this specific Wikipedia rule, and considering how cryptic wikipedia is, and how often i mysel

Any workshop can command WV screwdrivers, at least in the EU. I think the new regulation is that if you don't have the piece, or the tools necessary to replace the piece, you have to produce the plans on how to do it. I know someone wh

I've worked with ANAS and the SNIP when I was a youth camp counselor, the sentiment isn't shared. Civilians are basically 'the others' and are to be avoided and met with suspicion first. And that's the most liberal

To me, if the AI is trained on GPLv3/AGPL code, any code it generate should be GPLv3/AGPL too, the licence seems clear imho.

I dislike this argument only when taken to the extreme 'GenAI allows anyone to create arts'. It's like saying 'Ikea allow anyone to be a woodworker'!

Last time France allowed a huge merger/acquisition without asking to read the books, it was Alstom/GE, and GE books were so cooked it isn't even funny. Lot of people lost their jobs, a lot of the tech edge got lost, and now C

Yeah, it's mostly the same in France, unless you 'run' with a motorised vehicle. That will land you in a lot of trouble. We still have more dying in jail or during arrest per capita than any other country in Europe, but we&#x

The article claims EU didn't challenge the deal, only requested information about the market and possible unfair practices. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_23_...

The Balkans weren't invaded. That's why it worked, it was local separatism, local armies, very few international support (UN banned selling weapons and at the time, it mostly worked), and i think one offensive strike from the UN t

Are you calling for a US invasion of Venezuela because it would be overall less violent, in an utilitarian point of view? Because I don't think it can work. The last time it was tried, we got Libya. Militaries have too much power nowad

If your assumed goal is regime change from autocratic to democratic, they lost. If it was for stability in the middle east, the lost. If it was for oil and pressure on OPEC, I'd say they lost, but I would hear and understand an opposit

Is HR the department that post jobs and requirements in your company? Because at mine, HR is involved during recruitment, but they sure don't fill job posting or look at CV, that's just isn't their job. They are mostly involv

Counting consumption and estate taxes, i'm pretty sure you're just above 40%, so i guess you're on benefits? In the US, unless you or your family own a holding with a lot of companies, the country taxes you between 50 and 40%

No. Currently it's still better than in Syria and Libya before their regime change. If a insurrectionist force existed, you would have a point, but even then it doesn't work when too much foreign meddling happens, just look at Lib

The data you linked doesn't show that. If I were on my computer, I would download crude oil prices/US shale oil extraction data and look for correlations. My intuition seeing this is that the lack of openness of Venezuelian econom

If you only count robotaxis and not all Tesla, isn't the crash rate 20X per driven mile? I remember doing the math a few months ago and finding 20, but I might be mistaken.

The fact that successive US governments choose to use their economic hegemony to pump assets rather than invest in their education and healthcare, or at least in their infrastructure, doesn't contradict the fact that it was a great gif

It was a quip about Israel military explicitly killing children. Not very tasteful, but it clearly wasn't about this particular scam. By the way, indiscriminately bombing children seems to be more acceptable than opening fire on them f

Strong and prosperous economy built by progressive tax rate that used to tax up to 70% of non-work income, and now tax most of it 27-29% (depending on the corporate taxe of the state). The people who can use loopholes to avoid income taxes

France tried something clever pre-covid. You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_Convention_for_Climat... Totally random people could draft new laws on climate (at least, they were told this)

My father was told all his life that he had the same character than his mother, and until I was 10, I was told I showed the same character as my grandfather (I still have his walking cadence and posture). My father is adopted.

I want to say a lot of mean things, because an extremely shitty, useless, clearly Claude-generated test suite passed the team PR review this week, tests were useless, so useless the code they were linked to (can't say if the code itsel

Why this kind of thing doesn't require a judge to confirm the demand? And the judgement published publicly? (Or at least, on a government website that have specific access for TelCo/bigCo to read them)?

Gambling has been legal in those place, often limited in space, and/or in advertisements. In my country, betting is fully legal, but gambling ads can't be showed on TV to people under 18 (or is it 16?) since at least 2000. The law
