Neither are easy reading.

Because identifying who was doing the download is much more expensive than looking to see which ISP level connection the bytes went to. I suspect that they will blindly accept a DMCA type notification from the copyright holder regardless of accuracy.

Want to nobble your competitor coffee shop ? Just use their free Wifi to download a few files.

All that you would have got was some of this

How fast is it, how large is the binary ? Even if the numbers are not great this is amazing for a first release.

Just as importantly: how maintainable is it, how easy to find out what happens when things go wrong ?

Depends on how much you plan on using it. If you're like

"Write me a P2P sharing program like Limewire was back in the day!" - you're going to produce a lot of slop.

If you're using it to generate small functions though 15-20 lines at a time, or plugging in your own code and letting it help debug, then it can be very useful.

Its not any substitute for knowing how to code because it still makes a LOT of errors that need to be hand corrected, but its a great time saver for trivial tasks that are technically straightforward but would take longer to do by hand.

I used to stress to newer programmers that its perfectly normal to keep another browser open with the language specification/documentation for whatever you were writing in - its just a good reference. AI functions the same way.

Again being the size it is the government Denmark can start with publishing all of its forms in ODF format, no more DOCX; also use open/free fonts. This makes it a MS problems if they do not render properly -- people will start blaming MS for errors not the other way round. Thus industry and people at home will start using LibreOffice (what is in Collabora).

Next they need to push schools & tech colleges to use ODF, too many of them train students to learn how to use Microsoft products, they graduate and expect to use MS in their jobs. Actually: it would be nice if schools were to train people properly, most teachers do not know how to use style sheets, etc, and, eg, will make columns line up by pressing spaces rather than setting tabs/whatever. Start by teaching teachers (harder than you think).

if it does not do what you want take the damned source and add what is missing and everyone will benefit. If you do not have the expertise then pay the developers or someone to do it for you. Yes: it will cost but to an entity the size of the Danish government the cost will be less than the cost of licensing MS Office for another year or so. Once this development cost is paid it does not need to be paid again next year - unlike a license fee.

If the various EU governments each pay to fix whatever itch scratches for them then you quickly end up with better packages; as well as regaining digital sovereignty etc. This must be obvious to almost everybody, or it is being used as an excuse to do nothing or maybe keep the brown envelopes coming ?

What on earth are they doing that it needs 8GB of RAM ?

Maybe Trump is angling for a new job when his presidency of the USA ends: deputy president of Russia.

It depends on what you regard as most important: a company making a lot of money that is distributed to a small number of people (share holders) even if it means, for instance, polluting the local environment or acting to the benefit of the general population. Ie is it the rich getting richer and the poor poorer or is wealth to be distributed more evenly.

An interesting 46min video on just this: an inward looking America has never best served its own interests, also the history of "America First".

This just in, a report published by a group of people who would be materially harmed by losing business to the EU building its own technical capacity declared it would be costly and unfeasible to ever abandon them.

Up next after the commercial break, we report on how water is wet and grass grows.

Rather than a threat I'd say it moreso would fall under "conspiracy to commit murder".

Discussing plans to commit a crime is a crime (eg, conspiracy).

Now, I'd wager she didn't really intend to go through with this, and in the end there's a good chance the charges get dropped, but seriously - don't be talking about shit like that. I can't even see where someone would joke, vent, or otherwise say - even in private - that they plan on committing a mass murder.

"That police department is a bunch of assholes!" - sure I get that. I might say that. I might say they're crooked, lazy, incompetent, or any other set of negative adjectives, but talking about killing people is not a good way to be venting.

Probably put her in solitary because she kept insisting she was innocent.
