Youre only counting the core, not the periphery we bound to us through deals I mentioned. Korea, Canada, Latin America, India. They're all bound to us. Europe is just the imperial capital of the largest economic region in the world.

Our defense industry and economic might are plenty to stop Russia. China's system of government is China's matter. I think we could learn a lot from them, actually. Immigration will be vital to the survival of Europe. We are far b

The EU in just the past year has signed deals with Latin America and India in addition to the already existing ones with South Korea, Canada, Japan etc. It has positioned itself at the center of the world's largest free trade zone. It&

For a public institution you want some sort of accountability / auditing mechanism, so you can't just do E2EE encryption between users. Otherwise, a public servant could do sketchy stuff behind the public's back with no pap

By that logic we should all just be writing assembly manually. Screw hideously complicated higher level languages. Screw LLMs in particular, so complicated!

In my experience, the refactors are just as bad, just in different ways. All you end up doing is treading water with different iterations of shitty code. By the time you get somewhere acceptable, you could've just fixed it up yourself.

By that same logic, we should all be locked up in padded cells to avoid getting hurt. You gotta let people make their own choices.

There is no making "the most" out of Brexit the same way there isn't a way to make "the most" out of sawing your own leg off. It was completely unforced self-mutilation. The fact they're still hobbling on is co

If you reread my comment, you will see that I never said the purpose was what it does. That word choice was not by accident, it wasn't meant to be a simple paraphrase. I said a system is what it does. In this case bars are the ca
