Creating chaos in democracies is forcing the elected politicians to focus on the interior, thus leaving them less resources (or public interest) for stopping remote invasions.

As they should. Because the old politics of looking the other way had the only effect of emboldening the bullies to bully more.

Based on the aggressive reactions all across the billionaire board toward the European wrist-slap initiative, I would guess Europe is moving in the correct direction with it and the slaps would correctly hurt.

On which grounds would you punish some companies which are using a fully legal platform? If you had beef with the ad contents, you'd punish them already for that. But if you have beef with the platform algorithms, punish them for exact

You'd be surprised. I'm already sorry if I sound condescending, I just don't know how to rephrase this: please but please look around how effective is nowadays all that internet, dare to say more and more effective, in pushin

I'm using Jetbrain's AI Assistant (Junie, with different LLMs), and it also has frequent agent crashes (bye tokens) and sometimes is unreachable - albeit never longer than minutes so a few retries suffice. And even with the defaul

Okay and what exactly does this integration bring? - opening Sharepoint pages in Teams' half-baked browser; - opening Word or Excel in Teams' own half-baked editor; - Exchange integration is the calendar, period. Nothing else. The

We still have coal mines open, what do you mean? For less and less uses, yes, but they still have their uses, and we are not (nor should be) judging them for that.

Between zero fossil and full fossil there's a world of nuances, too often ignored. How much oil are those heavier aircraft using, as percentage of the whole country usage? The difference is the answer needed.

The thing really irking me is seeing how I pay much more taxes than the megarich and their corporations. Don't get me wrong, I can understand why this happens: they don't give a rat's ass on my safety concerns because they ar

I'd be happy to pay taxes going to social programs also for my own benefit: not only as a form of insurance, but for getting a more pleasant day to day experience - like not having to step over homeless, less insecurity in darker areas

I also experienced a shutdown and restart on an one-week-old Opel (but happened a decade ago). In one second everything was back online and working, but boy the adrenaline kick you get form that...

Just so I understand your comment, are you trying to say that the money on safety should go first into research? And not into a later startup, which is just putting lipstick on the pig? I agree to this understanding, no doubt about it.

I was driving until not long ago a VW with all those systems and, while less pleasant than the current Audi, I never met any of those inconveniences you met. Yes I know sample size, but... So, lane assist had zero visuals involved - activat

Or so the theory. But what is that specific functionality that I get from this integration? That I can preview an Excel attachment WITHIN Teams instead of starting another Excel instance? The only useful thing is that Teams calendar is the

Ah so that's what Anthropic's Amodei meant when saying AGI was attained - they actually reached that guy/gal.

Also sows division because it's _by definition_ "us vs them". Can't give anything else than enmity.

Well. not retroactively - if you used the heater last year they won't take that from you. But otherwise legislation can change and affect existing objects as well, like you can't take knives anymore on the plane while 50 years ago

To quote you, both unethical players and US-based firms can afford to ignore such rules. There must be a difference between these categories, right?

There's such a huge and old talk about the death of COBOL coding/coders that I find it very surprising that nobody trained a model to help with exactly that.

Becoming like your opponent must be for sure not the only way to compete with them... China and the US are not the same, why should the EU become like either?

How about building in Greenland that "freedom city" all tech bros are salivating about? Would that be a reason enough to invade?

When I think of fancy restaurants I always see huge plates with a dash of food smeared somewhere. Very easy to finish it all. Now you could say they compensate by offering a 12-course menu but that's not about plate sizes anymore.

What every argument here against two-party systems is missing, is that it entrenches the vision "us vs them". You will always have that one enemy tribe, because your party will always point fingers to the other party. While in mul

You are actually correct, I believe. But this is exactly the principle of capitalism isn't it? Market forces, invisible hand, the theories changed over the years but it boils down to the same thing: letting everybody compete. But you c
