Estimates for relative comparisons are more justifiable but rarely used, in my experience. And you can't bend on that stuff. The moment you say (to non developers), OK, I'll estimate X for task 1 and Y for task 2 they think, ah ha

For example the UK was threatened at various points with having its electricity supply be cut off, having its planes be banned from overflying Europe, having Spain seize UK territory like Gibraltar, and the EU did impose major financial san

That's not how it works, at all. History should make this clear! By the time a regime reaches "existential threat" level it's too late. You're already far gone, any and all political opposition has been driven under

It's not a democratic system and would be easily recognized as such if it were implemented anywhere other than Europe. Parliament approving what the Commission does is of no use for repealing laws. The President is not elected by the

Again, that's not how spam filters actually work in the real world. They hardly care about message contents. They care about how many spam reports users file and those are weighed against non-reported messages for any stable identity l

You won't be able to do that. Spam filtering exists and mostly isn't based on message contents looking real or not.

Ah yes because we saw how easy it is to leave the EU for the UK even though it still has its own currency. Realistically current EU countries are locked in. They aren't allowed to reintroduce their own currency, but doing so is step on

The MEPs don't have the right to change EU law. So it doesn't matter even if they were all voted out and replaced. The commission does what it wants, it's not really a democratic system.

Those problems affect cloud providers too. BTW modern CPUs support the creation of RAM-encrypted VMs with remote attestation, so you can lower the trust needed in the targets by a lot. That said there are lots of companies that are known qu

And yet, Bard seems to be worse than ChatGPT. Google aren't the only ones who can crawl the web. Given the depth of their index and how much spam it contains it might not even be the asset it seems.

They do know how to do it. Check out "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish", it's really nicely done. They just don't do it often because when it comes to hiring writers and senior execs they prioritize ideological compatibility
