    False, the Commission is an independent EU institution.

    You are confusing the EU Council with the Council of the European Union. No head of state was involved in the discussion we are having today. By the way my personal opinion is that…

    The EU Council and the Council of the European Union are two different bodies. Macron sits in the EU Council and it has nothing to do with this.

    How are we going to change it? They are simply going to pass a second-reading on a proposal to bring it back and use the same trick over and over again. All it takes is for one per…

    Literally the voice of the EU voters has been suppressed on this matter despite the Parliament (elected by them) voted twice on denying this full proposal. By any definition of the…

    The Council of the European Union - that pushed this forward - is composed of national ministers that are directly elected to the Council itself and are simply there because they a…

    Parliament rejects the proposal: https://oeil.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/en/procedure-file/pdf?r... Council pushes it forward: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/…

    The Commission refused to withdraw the proposal after Parliament rejected it, leaving it on the table. The Council disagreed with Parliament’s rejection, formally forcing a second …

    The EU is a farce, an undemocratic virtue signaling organization, and this is why: - The Parliament voted against the first reading of this proposal twice in 2026, the first time t…

    Function over form, or form over function? The endless debate. Not necessarily disagreeing with you but I understand the merits in cherishing “form” in a world that is - for the mo…

    They probably fear a domino effect if they let go of this. And so they defend it vehemently to avoid setting a precedent. Think about compositions, samples, performance rights, and…

    MCP is simply an API protocol, like GraphQL or gRPC. And since everything is an API, Kong also supports MCP natively (among many other protocols, including all LLMs): https://kongh…

    Actually the parent comment was wrong: You can physically cut off fuel without pulling the thrust lever to idle, because the two are separate controls. However, it’s against proced…

    0.1% of airline pilots fly intoxicated, and probably many more fly hangover which is an undetectable condition. There is speculation that in the Air France flight 447 that crashed …
