No idea how I came across it but it is an account of pre-independence Ireland that is lucid and fun.

Russia being part of Europe is a fact and not a preference. It seems like you want to see Europe as being united against Russia instead of this being an internal European conflict, which it is.

Russians are Europeans.

I think that is right and with the way Ukraine and Iran is going, we will need smaller decentralised data centres etc too. Its coming from a sad, bad place but it may be better and more democratic, less centralised.

I think mostly like Tesla in the EU. And warranties are long, like 10 years.

So no free market. Consumers have to subsidise crap companies.

Vehicles have road taxes. It’s a very clumbsy and annoying way the UK have planned this new tax. I hope other countries do not copy it.

It’s not about Andrew Tate, it’s about Gaza.

Maybe it is 2000 in your analogy.

Yes and I’ve seen this at work. People saying I asked the LLM and it said I was right. Of course it did. It rarely doesn’t.

Bakfiets no? That’s what the Dutch call it and they use them widely. Especially the electric versions you can get nowadays.

People that I have seen substitute with vaping seem to get more addicted to that.

I don’t think you are the hero in this story. Pretty terrible behavior.

I have interviewed Turkish people that did not have Cloud experience as their large companies (e.g. banks) were not allowed to use US cloud services. Seems like that was wise now.

I've worked with many and it was always Windows, with some use of MacBooks in recent years. Never once seen Linux desktops.

Don't worry. There is plenty to be done. These stories come up every few years. Previously it was outsourcing to India, or low-code tooling, etc. AI can make you more productive but there will still be plenty of jobs.

How come Stack Overflow posts are fair game for AI without user permission?

Intel cancelled a 25 billion site in Israel. The future of multi national companies in Israel does not look bright. This feels like a propaganda piece.

Jobs famously muscled his way in and took their ideas, albeit from a dumb board.

Famous story:

Steve Jobs confronted Bill Gates after he announced Windows' GUI OS. "You’re stealing from us!” Bill replied "I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it."

You don’t consider Maps a Google product? I guess there was some tech acquisition part there.

Folk is as old as folk. As Lou Reed said when asked about folk music he said, “let me tell you about folk music, the folk are listening to rock and roll”.

A lot of them are small adornments to housing, one large area of which (Apollobuurt) was built as social housing 100 years ago.

If I remember correctly, the Lockerbie / Pan Am attack was in response to this.

Exactly this. It also moved Microsoft’s share price. Is that not questionable practice?

I’ve heard the same about crèches in The Netherlands.

In the example it was something like:

As someone once said, the fact many companies use different domains for their overall service has added to the confusion for users.

What age range was this? Do you have the name of the camp. Sounds like a great idea.
