Finnish people are actually quite warm and welcoming. I know that they like to say that they are introverts, but each time I spend time there I find it very easy to engage, and alw…

Estonians are proudly and openly antisocial. Saying "Tere" (hi) to a cashier will only get you a stare from her, they openly joke online that they never talked to their neighbors a…

EU parliamentaries don't initiate laws, and, during the "trilogue" with the EC and the Council, they don't hold the pen on the final version. If any entity is "self-sabotaging", it…

This is neither a far-left, far-right or centrist measure. It's a pure technocratic one, where the State and its minions believes optimize for control over the population, and matt…

Good luck when the last non-Chinese frontier labs will have closed and the CCP will ask to stop sharing models open source.

The solution to the STD epidemic was moralizing teenagers to tell them to put on condoms. I was told personally several times in sex ed, biology classes and on-the fly by teachers …

I think that it's quite clear in the digital era that you can't steal bits that are free to copy.

France had to reduce nuclear maintenance for a long time to pay for the EU rules that forces it to give discounted nuclear electricity to private producers, which led to the situat…

Sand used to make concrete is a finite ressource, and extremely polluting to extract. Why wouldn't we save it and build lasting buildings?

You don't really own a latrine, but just look for it for the next generation.

The Chinese are quite open about their efforts regarding intellectual espionage and the desire for control of other countries' supply chains. It's not sinophobia to be cautious abo…

Any discussion about the Chinese Communist Party is censored on Deepseek.

Solar panels and wind turbines are useful, but don't provide the base power a network needs to be stable, and on-demand capacity to give some flexibility. Ironically, fossil fuel e…

Cumulative radioactivity emitted by German coal as a result of the ban on nuclear is likely higher than the amount of radioactivity spread by the Fukushima disaster. We can also ad…
