There were but decided not to stand candidates, likely fearing humiliating defeat.

I've been in a similar position. This is a transactional relationship with hard boundaries and it is good not to look for more in it. The best strategy is to be fast, professional, and to funnel them in a way where they can help themselves. Publishing roadmap and providing community forum for support works for some and others just cannot be helped. Live with that and carry on. No human connection will make them pay ten time the money, so just being responsive and reliable will make you the goto provider for the particular need.

Maybe if your product would get more valuable if you were connecting users together and you were moderator of the community, it would've been different, but it is quite different product to sell.

requires that everyone is comfortable walking and has no physical impairments.

Not to talk about the weather either.

BMW actually piloted such a program, but the outcry was brutal.

Do you know the old anecdote about the russian and american scientists talking about freedom? The one where the american explains that he is free to go and protest against the war in Vietnam and where the russian dismisses him that he is also free to protest against the war in Vietnam.

Your title promises a story about the spanish traders. It does not deliver, but talks about 3 other different topics that I'm not interested in and jumping between them to test my nerves. If it is about the architecture of whatever you are doing, put the architecture in the title and don't make your title an offhand comment somewhere there. Fucked up clickbite.

A true surprise if so, but still low in informational density and annoying to read.

Feels ai generated and waste of time to read even though the topic could be interesting.

There is a nice old comedy called "Thank You for Smoking". Worth watching if you haven't.

Fascinating. Currently imagining a futuristic version of that and mixing it with some cyberpunk happening under the shadow of the big brother.

Read the original mentioned on top for full effect.

yes. that's why people don't trust russian banks and institutions, but trust european ones.

The fine is for activity in the EU, so compare it to their business there. Comparing apples to advertisement fliers is useful only if you are using the fliers as toilet paper substitutes.

the gp asked for confiscation and property rights are pretty fundamental. especially if you are acting as a trustee not only for russian money but for many others who are watching how you are doing your job.

confiscating money is much bigger deal than you can imagine. Russia and the EU are not officially at war and just taking money because you can is a serious violation of fundamental rights.

This is a nice narrative, but without real world test cases, reads like yet another fanfiction on the internet.

Currently reading a web novel called The Years of Apocalypse. Very similar vibe and though it does not have the same literary aspirations as this one, also goes deep in the existential horror of the time loop and the alienation of your old self pinpoint in a constantly moving away past. Time loops are a fractal like that - a very simple idea and one chooses how deep to examine the repeating pattern. Also, seems to follow similar tropes in order to maintain some momentum.

The issue with national investment in the EU is that it might be attacked as state sponsored activity where one can complain that public money are used for market moves or if it is EU wide initiative, then the governments will squabble whose economy will get the money. The framework is not mature enough to allow for delegating to someone to solve the problem for everyone and to balance the beneficiaries in the long term.

If you are dedicated, few weeks to few months of usage with regular ramp up. You should be careful with adjusting which symbols are read though and sometimes the programing languages matters because different symbols have different significance for understanding the code.

Also, the mc was using python to write his ai scripts, if I remember it correctly.

I believe the gp meant the last few decades and the crisis that culminated with the Purdue trial.

The author was known with a secure os project some years ago.

test only on data generated after the training has ended.

if the output is consistent, could be used for producing biofuel or plastic.

Slav comes from slovo == слово which means word or speech, a.k.a slavs are people who can talk to each other which is a pattern in many other ethnic groups about differentiating between themselves and outsiders. Немци or mutes are those who cannot speak the language.

Cheers to the Pratchett reference. :)

Can you give some more context? I looked into Wikipedia and the relevant text there is giving different vibe:

Charles XII was in exile in Turkey and needed a representative in Sweden to ensure that judges and civil servants acted in accordance with the laws and with their duties. If they did not do so, the Supreme Ombudsman had the right to prosecute them for negligence.

You might be interested in that. We have observations of galaxies where dark matter likely is not present.

Reuters had a material on the topic. The big producers have trading desks that can optimise based on spot prices and redirect tankers as needed.

and what if they can use your inverter to destabilize not only your netwrok, but the local grit as well? and how far it can go if sychrnoized with malicious intend?
