It's a bit more nuanced. The teachers will just move to cities with more schools. Qualified workforce too. Rural areas are already depopulated. Yes, the trip by car to Brasov is quite daunting on a Friday evening or Saturday morning. B

Romania's current president is an international math olympic with two gold medals. We'll see how he turns out as a president. He's inherited quite some pressing issues and the President doesn't have all that much power.

It's really the bots and algorithms are the source of all of that, promoting somebody's agenda. Now AI too. Remember, Tay the Microsoft bot that they put on Twitter and it became nazi the next day? It's that multiplied by the

Well, nobody would rally over a few blocked porn sites, would they now? I can already imagine the banners.

Don't worry, nobody would stop it anyway, at least nobody on Twitter and Tiktok. The Kremlin is paying the nazis to scream, shout and create diversions. Then they could justify other de-nazifying invasions. The only ones rallying now

Who cares. Just make it go away, there's too much noise already. I for one don't care about the arguments of some "news outlet" paid for by the ones who attacked Ukraine. The Global Times isn't banned because the CC

Being called a dick on social media is now hate speech? I thought it was constructive criticism.

Propaganda affects everyone, not just kids. It even affects people with university studies but who have given up thinking for themselves. The problem is that they authorities are banning websites, while social media is riddled with propagan

Except when you need a different version of postgresql than the one packaged by Ubuntu, you have to use ppas or something even more horrific: snaps. Otherwise you just put your stuff in a container, problem solved. I'm not for containe

Sure, we import more beef from Mercosur countries than US beef from soy fed cattle. The EU customer is rather educated about what they eat. This is just how the $600 bn worth of investments will pan out, leading Trump to state time again th

True, but the Gripen is not a big strategic bomber and Sweden doesn't have nukes to threaten other countries with. They do air policing and would employ guerilla tactics in case of war, like put a gripen in a cattle shed somewhere and

It has too many features, the configuration menu is overcomplicated. I had to ask Claude how to create a token and what permissions to assign it in order to be able to clone a repo. Of course we need AI with this amount of nonsense.

Too bad ir doesn't do CAN-bus, either using ESP32's integrated TWAI controller and a hardware interface with a transciever or a MCP2515 controller. The M5 has a CAN-bus transciever¹. Thay way it would be really useful on cars and

The statistic is almost funny to looking at, seeing SC at the top of the list with 40% more fatalities as the next state. Germany only has no speed limits on some Autobahns. But you mostly end up in a Stau or Baustelle anyway, so it's

Speed sensors that turn the traffic light red for 10 seconds are also quite effective without making the place dystopian with CCTVs and fines. I've seen it in Portugal. At the other end is Austria, which uses cameras and fines.
