I understamd how Americans fall for this nonsense, but Europe has a well developed railroad system and efficient short distance flights.

Why would the Europeans fall for this inefficient, ineffective, economically insane, dangerous, unproven, ridiculous scam?

Comment Re:Europe has itself to blame for this (Score 1) 210

EU has around 1 billion people, ruzzia jas maybe 100 million, EU has 10 times the population. The only issue is that if Ukraine falls, putin will use force to make sure his army now includes Ukrainians conquered in Ukraine, just like he did with the residents of Donbass region. He will then take on the rest of Europe and given what ruzzians and Ukrainians have learned in thia war, the Europeans will find themselves in a really tough place Will the Europeans even fight at all? Polish, Lytovian, Finnish, they will fight, what about the rest? Given the experience and the size of the militaries, Europe stands no chance. Its best deffense is to help Ukraine with everything, instead European countries are busy with their internal problems.

Comment Not over water (Score 4, Insightful) 47

This is just dumb. There are conflicts over water, but when you include incidents that are part of a larger conflict that is not over water (Israel/Palestinian or Ukraine/Russia), you're just swamping any insight you might have gotten with meaningless noise. This is obvious, so I assume they're not looking for signal but just trying to make a big number for some other reason.

Comment Re:An old familiar story (Score 1) 73

Are you saying you didn't see this coming? It is a democratic system, ain't it? So this means politicians just do what is expedient, that's why they are elected. Leaders have stopped being elected long long time ago. Not that I am for any government intervention into any of this at all, I am against it. I believe we must do what we do as a species without any collective action enforced by government, I am against all government intervention. I am totally against anyone trying to architect our survival as a species, I am all for real natural selection.

Asked the thing to tell me:

I have heard that you sometimes give wrong time and sometimes even answer that you cannot tell the time, why does this happen to some people?
ChatGPT said:

You see different behavior because the system reads time from the userâ(TM)s environment. Some users block this data. Some browsers hide it. Some devices send inconsistent region info. This leads to gaps.

You see steady answers because your browser shares stable time data.

Other users trigger fallback behavior. In those cases I answer that I cannot read the time.

is this it?

Comment Re:Is military right-to-repair unrealistic? How so (Score 1) 59

"They may customize it with their own communications gear, but they didn't pay for the R&D that went into it. "

Companies build the prior research cost into their current pricing. It isn't as though gov. is not paying for it when they buy off the shelf. They just are not paying for it up front, but they will pay.

Regardless, this brings up a dilemma for the alleged administration. They have two competing impulses. They want to decrease the cost of the care and upkeep of systems so they can spend more on systems and repair them quickly, and they want to preserve the kickbacks from industry into their greedy little hands. I'm guessing the latter impluse will win because industry has populated the regime with their cronies, and money is everything to them.

MS still has their other businesses to rely upon. The C-Suite is up to their assholes in Office, their cloud crap is still still there, and now business is getting all hot and bothered by AI and MS is right there promising it....whatever business wants AI to be, MS says AI is.
