An extreme insult, seriously? It seems pretty neutral, if un-exciting, to see EU institutions displayed on Euro banknotes. It also avoids the obvious pitfall of national landmarks.…

Quoting the article: > Applying for highly competitive grants with limited funding is what scientists have always had to do to carry out the science—a flawed process with few alter…

You're changing the discussion. I was specifically not discussing whether S&P would be right to change the rules. As I said, there can be good and legitimate reasons for such chang…

While there's some truth in your point, I think you're being unfair in framing this story as passive investors betraying their own philosophy because they suddenly realize this pas…

Thanks, but should I conclude you agree with my point?

> If a company is 1-2% of the total US market cap and not included in the index, then the index is wrong right now. To be clear, S&P 500 relies on float, not total US Market Cap, a…

That she's French-Iranian? It says so right in the title so I may have misunderstood your question.

> Both the request and the response can be appropriately anonymized so that the government doesn't know the site, and the site doesn't know the person's identity. Yes that's how it…

This is the only paper that is presented as a source for this statement. I'm not the one singling it out.

This title seems misleading. The EP paper appears to be highlighting the existence of a debate regarding VPN. Relevant quote: "Some argue that this is a loophole in the legislation…

How would it work though? Also, not sure what makes it so impossible (debates on whether a given law is in effect seem pretty rare, though it does exist), but that may depend on wh…

> This behavior will not be readily forgiven. This sounds like there would be some kind of revenge, but I struggle to imagine any kind of consequence. Did you have something in min…

My counter point is "stocks are not crashing". It being an all time high was just to highlight how much "not-crashing" they are, but that doesn't really matter. Even if stocks were…

> Do your homework. About what though? You haven't explained what you meant by a crash so I don't have much more to go by to understand your point. If not the stock market, what's …

Well it's an all time high in EUR as well for instance. I haven't checked for CHF or other currency one may cherry-pick, but in any case it wouldn't change my point: even if it was…

> This not a prediction. The crash is currently happening. The stock market being at an all-time high, a crash in the usual meaning of this term is not, by definition, currently ha…

You did not adress the point though. This isn't about the tens of thousands of people climbing, it's about the ones climbing free-solo, which is a much, much smaller number.

> Statistically more danger than a free solo climber. While I don't have statistics on free solo death rate per climb compared to death per car trip, this is most likely very, very…

>Somehow Europeans care more about Greenland than Ukraine, so maybe this is the final straw. "Somehow" makes it sound like a strange situation, but it seems quite normal that the E…

> Gatekeeping - nobody else can be the default voice assistant or power Siri, so where does this leave eg OpenAI? Sorry if I'm missing the point but if Apple had picked OpenAI, cou…

They are in a duopoly on the Mobile OS market, with no other significant player available. Google would be the sole integrated mobile AI, though there are competitors available if …

What antitrust rule do you think would be breached? I admit I don't see the issue here. Companies are free to select their service providers, and free to dominate a market (as long…

Apple is already taking the risk of being blamed for their own AI right now, though (an AI that is much more prone to incredibly dumb errors than Gemini), so I don't find it that o…
