What is your problem with her?

She is actually one of the few politicians who has a clear mind and a clear strategy and clear goals: and reaches them.

Two considerations:
1) Article 5 only requires other NATO nations to respond as they feel appropriate to their own national interest. Full involvement is not required.
2) Estonia is small enough that Russia could overrun the entire country in a couple of days, long before the NATO bureaucracy would be finished dithering about whether to respond or not.

As has been demonstrated in Ukraine and Iran, the US is now a paper tiger, with a military armed with finicky, high tech weaponry which is easily overwhelmed by a flood of low cost disposable drones. For example the multibillion dollar THAAD system protecting (for the gods only know what reason) Israel was disabled by some drones costing about the price of a used BMW attacking the long range radar systems it relied on.

It would make more sense to have a EU made - if you want 100% government controlled - social network for kids.

The kids will circumvent this bullshit anyway. And if I was a parent I would make my child a fake account, just like most parents will do.

What the fark is wrong with having an FB account or a TikTok account that shows you people from all over the world and their culture???

a) spy satellites do not know what is unloaded
b) you want to seize the cargo - why the funk would you want the enemy having it?

Aide: Anything on two legs looks yummy to them.
I am still laughing about this one.

Most "investigations" are not possible without AI.

Or they would take years, while Google Gemini simply answers in a few seconds.

Yes: the questions I ask take it 10 seconds or more to compute.

For example: "If I give you a list of japanese terms for the martial art Aikido, could you translate them into the terms for korean hapkido?"

Note: I used the "english" transliterations for the exact techniques I was interested in. So: it had to gather Informations about: "what is that actually", figure what that means in a martial art, figure that the same thing is done in another martial art, and figure the name of that technique in the other art. Without me using Japanese script.

Note: you can not translate martial arts techniques word by word. A technique has a name, like a "design pattern" in programming. It can basically have a completely different name in another art, even if it is from the same country/language.

How do you "research" that on your own, if you do not speak Korean, and have no Hapkido instructor around?

The answers of Gemini were accurate, simple and perfect, and it wanted to engage into a "conversation" where I followed up with 3 more questions.

There are three layers of knowledge (actually 4).
- the stuff you know
- the stuff you know, that you don't know it (for example you know you can not read or speak Sumerian)
- the stuff you do not know, that you do not know it

The 4th layer is a bit silly: it is the stuff you know, but do not realize you know it. A bit like passive language skills. For example, I think I can read any English text (or German), but there are thousands of words I never use actively.

The crash was near Grawn, well away from the areas that are nice to live in. Last time I was there Grawn had more trailers than stick-built homes. Migrating waterfowl love the corn fields and small lakes in that area.

The point is why do we "need" so many pilots when the only countries we reasonably need to protect against are Mexico and Canada?

Not in the US, we're at least a decade behind the curve and our sclerotic military procurement system looks to keep us there.

Iran is a major user of drones, which is why they control the Straight of Hormuz and have destroyed most of the US bases in the region. They took out a billion dollar radar installation with a drone that costs the price of a used BMW to build.

Except there's no reason for them to go into combat, unless you actually think Mexico or Canada are going to invade.

Waterfowl are beginning migration there this time of year, cornfields and small lakes near Grawn draw clouds of them. (Grew up near there.) There are no safe altitudes around there this time of year. Of course Texas Guardsmen wouldn't know that.

It clearly says it is compiled to C and then to machine code.

Setting random variables to null is code that needs to be executed.
Same with "if (var ==null)" ...

So, it is slowing down the ordinary execution path.

And: it does not help the garbage collector the slightest.

See: you have not much clue about programming.
