This will get me Troll points, but Warhol was an overrated piece of shit. EOM.

No, just completely exasperated. Crossing the Mediterranean and the North Sea in small boats is a proof of how exasperated they are.

And in the UK you don't need ID for all kinds of services once you are in the country. On the continent, every country requires an ID for services.

More difficult to recycle shit...

The Chinese Communist Party

Politicians and journalists should learn to say "Chinese Communist Party" instead of China, because China is the Chinese people, which are the victims of that parasite "Chinese Communist Party".

Yesterday, I saw on the news a project in a Belgian school which already does this.

The AI helps the teacher, support in a school where 70 nationalities are represented, and they all need to learn Dutch.

hypothesis.

If it was a theory, then the hypothesis would have already been tested and accepted.

FTFY

As a citizen of Belgium, crypto here is absolutely not on anybodies radar (maybe a very very very small percentage of people), and I work in the tech sector.

I went with my cousin to an open day in a school which does IT bachelor's degrees, and there were four choices for specialisation: security expert, software engineering, AI and blockchain. There was zero interest in the two last degrees, nobody stood there asking question.

Or Carmen Sandiego?

What, no XKCD reference?

Standards

I got some big playlists, and I have the impression when these are played randomly that it still prefers to place more popular things first in the queue, or e.g. recently added things, instead of indeed being truly random.

Same here, jazz AND heavy metal/hardrock/thrash/etc fan. Learned a whole lot of new (old new) bands, and modern performers of both styles.

Yes, it has its drawbacks, like in some mixes too many of the same songs.

If there is really one thing that should improve it is this algorithm for creating playlists. FFS, it should be really be based upon random number generation, not based upon the popularity of songs.

Something else I noted, I turned on AC/DC radio, and only the first song was AC/DC, e.g. with some other artists I had the same, only one song of them in the same radio.

I do not think that it was born out of childish ignorance.

Why would we not start with improving relationships at the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, and hope that through mutual business, the people of all these blocks got a better life?

But nobody could predict that people like Putin and Xi would become heads of state (and XI is there only since 2012) (I won't call them leaders, they don't deserve that moniker), who don't give care about the real people.

But, there should always have been a slight suspicion, not to be noticed, and some strategic thinking on the part of politicians in that respect. Politicians should hope for the best, but expect the worst, and have contingency plans long term for the latter.
