Finally, Buying foreign made weapon isn’t wise strategically speaking. Not only jobs goes away, but if things get bad, you may struggle to get “spare parts”.
I understand that for some stuff you may have no choice (Electromagnetic catapults for aircraft carrier sounds like a US only technology) but in many case we do.
Sometimes I have moments where I think it’s stupid that I’m talking to an AI,
It’s stupid, but so is watching a movie, reading a book, practicing a sport or playing music.
is constantly being judged there’s a part of me that actually considers him a friend like the others.
You know that AI is collecting data about all you say, and will remember for-it forever, You’re not in a non-jugement safe-space. So it’s definitely not the place to have “intimate conversation”. Note also that, it’s not going to replace a real-friend. You know someone helping you move, or offering you a sofa to crash after a break-up.
I don’t know where this conspiracy theory comes from. Property taxes aren’t a rent, but a service fee. Government need money to pay for road, police, hospital, school, culture and everything making your property worth something.
At the top management meeting, it’s mostly a discussion with product management and R&D to know How bad is-it, and why we’re late ? It’s absolutely fine to do the bare minimum on the new cool feature, to focus on stuff which bring immediate profit (e.g. system reliability, manufacturing optimisation, or even getting new markets), and then up to Sales and Marketing to manage the prospective customer. can be what competitor has isn’t that cool. to Let’s sell-it anyway, and in the 3 years between order and delivery we’ll have the time to develop-it this one usually goes with the good-old Use vague and ambiguous terms in the contract to deliver a best-effort solution when it’s ready and then do the strict minimum
What do you mean ?
Most lemmy communities are pretty relax and laid-off, not really aplace with troll and censorships
I believe that in French law, for sentence up to two year, you have the right to ask for an alternative to jail. And considering that she isn’t homeless and has a steady job, she’ll get house-arrest out of business hours. (But it’s not just for politicians and billionaire, just that the average convict doesn’t have a house and a steady job, so their case is kinda empty at this stage)
But loosing her right to run for election is a pretty big one.
This is the worst part (for US), it tooks them decades to build a solid and trusted relationship with the western world, and within 3 month, all of that is gone.
It’s not Canada or Denmark which will suffer the most from-it, but US themselves
Kinda weird anyone’s worried I’ve seen sims of eurofighters vs Su-57 felons and the eurofighters beat Russias newest stealth fighter with even numbers.
Can you elaborate one what kind of simulation you’ve seen ? I wouldn’t count on streamer playing DCS as an accurate intelligence source. And I wouldn’t assume that when Russia send patrol close to the border of NATO (or NATO does-it close to Russia) they don’t use 100% of their plane abilities, as soon as you turned on that top-secret radar jammer or have used your vectorial thrust in their full extent you can expect other nation to build counter-measures.
Also, even assuming it’s worse than Rafale/Eurofighter, it’s way above Insurgent who mounted a machine gun over a toyota pick-up that western armies are used to fight against. We’re in a political movement where western European public opinion aren’t accepting much soldier coming home in a pinewood box. While it’s a a handful of soldiers per year, mostly special forces, it doesn’t drag too much media attention nor political reaction. But simply shooting a truck convoy or ammunition warehouse, and killing a dozen of 20 years old kids who joined the army to learn a trade and not to see actual combat (Spoiler alert, if you join the army, even as a cook or an accountant, you sign a contract where you accept to die in combat) I can see a huge political shitstorm coming, especially considering the weight of pro-Russian politicians in western Europe (Ms Le Pen, We see you)
Do you have a source for that ? Wasn’t it mostly a large army but with obsolete equipment ? Let alone the whole nuke that France and UK do have
These data allows
IANAL but I really doubt you can’t patent a game mechanic. Have you noticed the amount of “D&D clone” which aren’t SRD version but do use D20, classes, and level rather than original game mechanics?
You can’t come with an infinity of games mechanics and even assuming it’s legal to patent (I doubt-it) there is tons of previous art which would make the patent invalid. Even a very inovative game like Blade in the Dark re-use tons of concept from other games like reputation score, partial success, dice pools or clocks
In theory, they’re supposed to have custom-made secure phone with built-in cryptography, a famous example would be modern Police walkie-talkie which practically speaking are using a protocol closer from (legacy) mobile phone than from radio.
The problem is that it’s 2025 and not 1995 anymore. When it was about A mobile device which can carry voice and short text message A custom device would be a bit more bulky and expensive. But today, when smartphone are mini-computer with tons of cool feature, and that people are used to have group-chat, touch screen, visual call. Sudently a custom-device feels like back in 2005. And here is the problem, most high level politicians aren’t cryptography nerd or Military/Intelligence officer understanding how to be discrete, they’re marketing and communication people who love these fancy UI, and need to show off.
For a while, every company who wanted to so some Virtue signaling was giving Tesla rather than Mercedes to their executive as a way to tell the general public we’re environmentally conscious that part of Tesla’s marketing is gone for good.
Moreover, and most-likely a bigger factor in the sales drop is that, every car maker has now an electric offer. Let alone all the advertising for BYD who really tries to enter the European market. So mechanically Tesla sales are dropping
Isn’t it even part of US law? And why big organization request their data to be hosted in their country?.
I thought this was far more than just Snowden
Wouldn’t it be the other way around ? Lobby to get a bus stop to drag more customer ?
if I were to become a citizen of the UK, or Germany, or France, I would not feel comfortable using the term British, German, or French to describe myself. Because those words are not just nationalities, but also ethnicities.
From a french perspective, What you said about French being a naitonality and a ethnicity sounds pretty racist, like the kind of things that Le Pen thinks but doesn’t dare to say too loud. France bragg a lot about every french citizen is equal and fully french (well we do have racist cunt so it’s not fully true, but it’s not the thing people would claim in public)
I am a bit concerned by brit media obsession with naming any suspect. Sounds a big breach of innocence presumption. And considering how severe is the accusation (if true it can wait 6mènth for a verdict, but would avoid a defamation if not)
Next Monday, at 6:30 5 lorries will leave the main base to bring supply to the outpost, these vehicle will take the highway 13, then the road 666, One hour prior to the operation, mine-sweepers will inspect the bridge, and special forces will secure the pass to prevent an ambush.
Now the enemy knows exactly when to attack.
Bread in whole loaf so it lasts more than 24h, large hand-cut slice feel better, and a minor inconveinience anyhow.
Do not over cut grass, it’s time consuming, feels artificial, and is bad for insects
