They had the “We the people” platform, started by Obama. But Trump started ripping it apart, and Biden pulled the plug on his first day in the office.

And even then instead of being people driven, the US administration would choose what they want to address or not. For all the excesses of EU bureaucracy, there are plenty cases like this where it prevents politicians from ignoring people’s concerns; they can still refuse to act, but at least the petition system forces them to go on record.

Are ID Documents numbers validated on submit if you fill the form instead of using eID? Some countries don’t even have an eID option, and Finland and Ireland don’t even ask for document id.

It makes more sense when you consider that reviewing papers is expected but not remunerated, while scientific newspapers charge readers an extortionate fee.

The article goes into detail about the initial costs and potential economic benefits.

It reads a lot like “the UK grossly mismanaged Northern Ireland, but there’s no reason that Ireland wouldn’t be able to fix it in about a decade”.

That’s the thing, Software Engineers have choices.

Yes, all big companies will do some dubious things.

But then you have big tech that does all those dubious things and is also breaking democratic institutions everywhere with a sledgehammer.

And then you have Palentir, which are literally Hollywood movie villains.

At this point they are light years of their livelihood depending on it. There’s no way they don’t notice where the bombs are falling, they had plenty of time to look around and have decided they don’t care.

They have two types of people:

• Software Engineers and Computer Scientists that don’t care who gets hurt as long as they get to work on their interesting problem. I call them the Wernher von Braun club.
• The ones that are also prospective customers

The Venn Diagram might be close to a circle.

French Guiana is only part of the EU because it’s part of France, and even then it needs plenty of exceptions to make it work.

Cyprus was already aligned with the rest of Europe in economic laws.

Canada would need to redo half of its laws to join the EU, and Canadian companies would either need to produce two versions of everything or drop the US market altogether.

It’s more realistic to aim for a close bilateral treaty than for membership, at least for next few decades.

I am not an expert, but what I remember from the news with a little refresher from wikipedia, the main issue is that dispute settlement mechanism is broken for two reasons:

• National security concerns were allowed as an opaque excuse to break the rules
• Trump and Biden blocked appointments to the bodies that are responsible for enforcing the rules, so there’s no one even trying to enforce the rules inside of the WTO for 6 years now. The EU and some other members have an ad-hoc mechanism to settle disputes, but it’s not recognized by the US.

But the underlying problem is that US wants rules that apply to others but not them, and nothing short of the Yellowstone finally going off will change it in the short term.

Yes it was, that’s why they kept the patents when they sold Motorola.

Sometimes classics are classics for a reason. And by classics I mean crabs 🦀.

Is it so surprising that the mindset that makes people unable to face changes in one area of their lives also makes them unable to face changes in other areas?

So, basically, ATLUS is a money printing machine.

a WhatsApp user and whose number appears on his company website.

That’s where the LLM found the number. It being a valid WhatsApp number is a coincidence.

x11 doesn’t support HDR at all, so even with HDR support still not being fully mature in KDE and GNOME that’s a argument for wayland.

Isn’t process explorer the GUI process manager on windows? Can we stop recommending cli tools by default? GNOME’s and KDE’s default process managers are more than enough for 99.999% of people coming from Windows.

Compelling in the sense of forceful not in the sense of persuasive.
