Exactly. For Ukraine, a peace treaty now that allows Russia to regroup and invade again in N years is not really helpful.

The gap between haves and have nots is more related to politics than economics IMO. It's about how the value is (re)distributed.

Rereading the previous comments, I agree you're right. Good analogy.

That's exactly what GDP measures: how much money people have paid and gotten paid for things.

"GDP measures everything except that which is worthwhile"

Well, there are often threads lamenting that open source maintainers don't get paid more.

LLMs cannot explode. People need to be educated that LLMs are as trustworthy as a random page or post on the internet.

I understand, but I must say that it doesn't sound very efficient to be working in an office for 8 hours every day in order to have useful spontaneous connections every once in a w…

I think b) without a) would be a bit of a red flag. Almost everyone I know has lived together in some way before getting married.

I agree children can cause problems in relationships. My point was more that they're a very strong reason against splitting up.

Good point, it's indeed common for couples to get married when having children. Still, I think what's helping ensure commitment in that case are the children, rather than the marri…

I've found Nokia/HMD also okay.

I find it reasonable that Python doesn't enforce the type checking. The owners of each project can choose how much to enforce it and how. Defining such style rules and validations …

Does anyone know online lectures/courses on BCI basics and whether there are any relatively inexpensive devices that are good enough to allow hacking something useful?

There are also stable and peaceful borders, and Putin could absolutely have chosen to have one with Europe. Instead he chose instability in order to expand by force to areas that R…

Why would Russia, a large nuclear power, need defensible borders? To prevent an invasion by Ukraine, Finland or Estonia?

Taiwan is not a member of NATO, and neither are other US allies in east Asia.

I think Switzerland is not bad in this respect. There are several health insurance companies, but the basic plan's coverage and price is set by the government and it's quite compre…
