In most of Europe we don't really have problems with the #2 and #3. Cost of housing can still be tricky in major cities though.

Yes of course someone pays for it, in this case your deductions as you say. But I think there is a fundemental difference to employers paying for health insurance in that it doesn't depend on your job. So if you lose your job you d

If they had said only governemnt and a few other approved institutions can use it then yes that could work. But they didn't say that. They said "only US citizens". Once something is available to hundreds of millions of people

If a model is really capable of that type of stuff (creating biological weapons etc) the problem isn't solved by export controls - I'm sure there are plenty of home grown US terrorist organisations that would like that capablility

There's no effective way of enforcing export controls on local software like PGP etc. Whatever they say someone will leak it. It is possible to shutdown access to hosted services, as happened with Fable, but it can't really be do

There are large (x2, x3) price rises for US based servers but the German / Sweedish ones show much more reasonable increases ~30%

Interesting that those supporting the motion claimed it was because there was no space left for new arrivals and that it put too much pressure on infrastructure like trains and yet the largest support came from the countryside which proably

>I mean, if we want to not talk about economics that’s fine, but can the AI actually do junior work at the same price? Even if we assume it can then not hiring Juniors still doesn't make sense - where will seniors come from in the f

It's actually worse than that. It's not just financial depreciation or that the existing hardware becomes obsolete due to being less powerful than new hardware but also that hardware being run all the time at high load actually ha

Seems to be a thing in the US to need specialised software, an accountant or AI to file taxes. In most of Europe individuals at least don't need any of that. I'm in France and it's just a connection to a government run websit

Political structures exist to influence the world around them. A thousand or even a few hundred years ago most people travelled very little and often were born, lived and died in the same village. At that time the village was the natural un

There are a lot of upsides to being in the EU. It's so much easier to move aroud, both for short term travel and longer term too. The common currency (at least in most countries) really helps as do things like no roaming charges. If yo

Would you let one or two cities have veto power over the policy of an entire country? If not then what's the difference here? If yes do you think that would work? Of course the important thing is to decide what should be handled at the

Depends a lot on the context and type of software. For server side software where there is a sysadmin in charge of keeping it running I generally agree. But for end user software (desktop, mobile, embedded) no one wil read the logs and ther

I disagree. Sure corporations have to respect the LAW in their juradiction, even if said law is unpopular or unethical. But they don't have to, and shouldn't where ethics and human rights are involved, go beyond what is required b

"stolen" should not be used in conjunction with IP, "infringed" if you like. To steal is to deny the original owner access to their property. That is true for physical objects, if I steal your wallet or your car you no l

I think it's difficult to say without knowing how the system is deployed and administered. "If a SMTP mailer trying to send email to somewhere logs 'cannot contact port 25 on <remote host>', that is not an error in

It's more the US that has corrupt politicians and myopic policies. Trump changes his mind every few days He takes bribes from the Swiss. The sooner the EU rids itself of the US the better

The way I remember it is: INIT_LIST_HEAD is of form VERB_NOUN so is called from within a function to programatically initialise the list. LIST_HEAD_INIT is NOUN_VERB and is used within a structure initialiser not from a function. But my mai

Will this affect alternative app stores like F-droid or is it only about downloading and installing an APK with a web browser? An example of "normal" users that side load (through F-droid or direct APK) is most Ingress players. Wh

No, not in this type of case. Actually I wouldn't have an issue with that had she been convicted of, say, assault. In that case it would be reasonable for the electorate to decide if her being convicted of assault makes her illegible i
