From what has been released, finland legislature gave the local company permission to start the construction.
The finish government environment agency is the one saying that you might have that approval but you still need to get approval from us and submit the various paperwork.
So it is going to be a court decision to determine who is correct.

Comment Re:Context - UC has no SAT/ACT math requirement (Score 0) 150

Faculty members reported that a growing number of students arrive without the core algebra required for STEM majors, masked in part by high school grade inflation. Students are increasingly struggling to pass standard freshman-level courses, leading to an unprecedented rise in course failure rates, students dropping out, and a surging demand for remedial tutoring.
In response the board of UoC decided to have student to decide if the SAT/ACT needed to be reinstated, suppose to be out sometime next year.
Also eight Ivy League universities along with MIT, Caltech, Stanford, and dozens of other institutions that followed UoC have already reinstated the ACT/SAT requirement.

Comment Re:No protection for them. (Score 0) 133

The claim that safety in utility and food industries was entirely absent until modern federal regulations were imposed is historically inaccurate and ignores the powerful roles of market self-regulation, private liability, and consumer trust. While early technological transitions certainly carried risks, industries did not operate in a vacuum of indifference; private incentives and local standards drove safety innovations long before federal agencies existed. Gas companies voluntarily added odorants to prevent costly resource loss and explosions, insurance conglomerates founded independent testing bodies like the Underwriters Laboratories to mandate insulated wiring as a condition for coverage, and food producers relied on brand reputation and local municipal codes to avoid ruinous civil liability and business failure. Ultimately, safety has always been a prerequisite for commercial viability and customer retention, proving that progress and protection are driven by market demand and legal accountability, not government mandates.

There were a bunch of people from other countries and also Epstein hung out with various liberal and progressives who were not members of the US Democratic party. So yes, it was along entirely Democrats but not all.
Republicans voted to release the unredacted records, and leadership actively pushed to release everything to the public rather than following the Democrats push for cherry-picked releases. So, if pushing for a full release instead of releasing items out of context is "carrying water," then yes, Republicans were "carrying water."

Comment No protection for them. (Score 5, Interesting) 133

Every time humanity invents a tool that fundamentally changes how we live, a wave of panic follows. When writing was invented Socrates warned it would ruin our memories. When the printing press arrived, critics claimed that an overload of books would make people foolish and immoral. steam trains were feared, with experts claiming that traveling at the high speed of 30 miles per hour would cause the human body to disintegrate or drive passengers insane. In every case, these technologies did not destroy us; they simply became normal parts of daily life. Todays fears about AI are being heavily pushed by the tech companies themselves, but for a very different reason. By keeping everyone focused on sci-fi scenarios about killer robots ending the world, these corporations divert attention from immediate & real-world lawsuits. They are actively lobbying governments for protection against copyright theft claims and suing for immunity when their systems cause real world harm. Calling for strict safety regulations allows them to create a "regulatory moat", making it too expensive and legally risky for smaller competitors or open-source projects to survive, while keeping the big players legally protected.

He has come out against men playing in women sports leagues and has come out against open borders.
Which right there placing he as a supporter of genocide.

However back to reality, he has not commented much but reading over his comments on global human rights, he looks to emphasizes minimizing civilian suffering and he focus on government oppression and that does line up with him being against open borders.
