Oh boy do they love the free market!

You should have seen what happened a few years ago during a thing called covid

Or perhaps they try to do what socialists are supposed to be doing, namely giving the people a place where they can live.

The idea of Italy as a very specific place is much older than Italy as an independent, unified nation state though. A famous example from Dante’s Inferno: «Sì com’a Pola presso del Carnaro, ch’Italia chiude e i suoi termini bagna» (Inferno, Canto IX, 113-114).

Oh boy am I glad to live in a first world country where this is not an issue.

So far, it’s always been the other way round though.

Modern machine learning systems are not based on biological and symbolic rules of old fashioned artificial intelligence, where you could uphold a principle of noncontradiction as you can in traditional logic.

As if politicians had anything to do with noncontradiction.

there is a lot of evil in this world

Maybe, but evil vs good is very subjective and leads to paradoxes like the “anti-capitalist software license” not being usable by one of the most popular examples of anti-capitalism in history, namely the CNT militias in revolutionary Catalonia.

a bunch of armed hooligans like the police or military

Your hooligan is someone else’s freedom fighter though. /me looks dramatically in the general direction of Kiev

With remarkable consistency across space and time, those lists have historically grown from “the capitalists” to “their allies” to “the counter-revolutionaries” to “the enemies of The People“ to “the enemies of The Party”

One thing the human race should have learned from history is that once you start restricting individual freedom, you know where you begin but you don't know where you end.

You don't want corporations to use your software, fine, fuck Google. Then one day you find out that the police may use the software, so you add "law enforcement" to the list of fields of endeavor you want to restrict.

Then it's the military, and that's where the definitions get tricky. The "Cooperative Nonviolent Licenses", just as an example, would have probably not been usable by the Anarchist Confederal militias in the Spanish Civil War.

A think tank promoting nuclear energy uses the license, is that fine? How about a neo-nazi nonprofit?

Soon enough the list of groups you don't like is gonna get long.

At first I read this as “apologies for git”, that would have been much more interesting

Amazing, instead of "ping 1.1" I can now use "ping ai" and save one character. What a great world we live in.

"Western" was probably used with its economic meaning in mind, as a synonym for "Developed".

Germany

My bank account here in democratic Europe was frozen by the authorities for two weeks due to some taxes they didn’t receive. This shit is terrifying.

Distance alone isn't enough of a reason though, Beijing–Shanghai is 1200 KM and yet you can cover that by train no problem in < 5 hours: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beijing%E2%80%93Shanghai_high-...

And interestingly enough such a landmark paper got rejected initially: http://www.fang.ece.ufl.edu/reject.html

If you’re using - say - Debian all over your infra, introducing a whole new OS just for the bastions increases complexity without bringing any significant advantage.

True, the total population is 2.8M though so this is a very significant chunk of the whole country.

What a game they made out of those 6MiB. Constraints foster creativity rather than limiting it.

What really helps:

1) Watch movies in English 2) Move abroad, at least for a while 3) If (2) is out of the question, find English-speaking friends and hang out with them as much as possible

Lectures in school, especially when given by non-native teachers, are inferior in terms of costs/benefits when not counterproductive.

It’s hard to find a discipline with “science” in its name that is actually a science.

AND you would get to live in Falkenstein, one of the most exciting places in Europe.

The "Remote Workstations" use case is interesting: what kind of software do people use to do that nowadays? Is x2go still a thing?

Why is it necessary for us to have this authority now when it was not needed in the Civil War or during either World War?

Because now you are an Empire

The kernel allocates memory too, hence an improvement at that level benefits allocations across the board.

In the swampy, stinking waters of the river Styx – the Fifth Circle – the actively wrathful fight each other viciously on the surface of the slime, while the sullen (the passively wrathful) lie beneath the water, withdrawn, "into a black sulkiness which can find no joy in God or man or the universe".

When it comes to geopolitical spheres of influence, which is what digital sovereignty is about, it doesn’t matter. Switzerland is part of Schengen, the European single market, the EFTA, ... It’s Europe.
