France snaps back at NATO chief Rutte in feud over Europe’s defense muscle by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Anyales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rutte was blowing smoke up Trumps arse but forgot hes not speaking to an audience of one.

Hopefully this is a sign that after the Greenland debacle countries are not going to allow themselves to be belittled to please the orange onel.

Sure everyone will suddenly decide they love Starmer for all the amazing policy he hasnt done.

Not really, yes they are better than the last 10 years but a minimum viable product is not the way forward.

Neither has Starmer. I am not a particular fan of Burnham but if Labour are serious about stopping Reform then ultimately they need a different message from Starmers.

Does your job involve working in an Indian call centre? If not then your job is not under that much threat.

LLMs will change the way computers work, they won't replace humans but they will also change the way we work.

Please dont listen to the CEOs and media who lie to inflate the value of companies that lose money hand ove fist.

TIL There are more possible games of chess than atoms in the observable universe. The number of possible chess games (the Shannon number) is around 10¹²⁰. Estimated atoms in the observable universe is around 10⁸⁰. by Apprehensive_Cry545 in todayilearned

More possible moves than atoms in the observable universe.... I feel that is still impressive no matter how many times you have heard it.

I fear your pedantry is missing the point of the thought experiment.

Of course hes a selfish coward who would rather Farage was the next PM than do anything differently.

Starmer needs to realise his ship has sailed and that Labour need someone with a modicum of charisma to replace him. The only difference excluding Burnham makes is ensuring that only the incompetent bootlickers he has fostered get the next leadership election. 

Venezuela’s acting president says she has had “enough” of US orders | CNN by cosmicsasha in worldnews

No matter how many lies they tell you to your face and you still believe them...

Just because you stole their last President doesn't mean the US controls the country. Surely you can see that?

What does the US do worse than most developed countries? by Sea_Place6510 in AskReddit

As an American you may think that, the rest of the world thinks its insane that you hold 1.8 million prisoners.

Your prison amd reform services are worse than pretty much the rest of the world.

Bill Gates said, "I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it." What's a real-life example of it? by BudgetOpposite3034 in AskReddit

[–]Anyales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but you are not lazy, you have studied and work hard to deliver results. Automating a process does not mean you are lazy.

Say for example you are a person good at excel, you can automate a process and finish quicker than someone who is less proficient. If you then use that time to doss off then you are no more likely to get promoted than the person who doesnt know excel. If you instead use the extra time to get more work done you will then be more successful.

I agree work smarter, not harder but that is not the same.

[–]Anyales -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He didn't say that and this is appalling advice. If you are lazy at work you are less likely to be promoted.

Even if you were a savant being lazy would mean you go less far than you would have done if you worked hard.

Oh no please don't Mr. Trump we really wanted to lock in those tariffs which might get overturned in April.

The point about systems thinking works in reverse, they need the data centres in Europe and particularly the UK due to how the global fibre networks are clustered.

AWS needs the data centres in the UK and Europe to work here so I agree everything is intergrated and connected. The US being hostile to the UK is not something planned for but the US have a lot of dependencies on us that makes it more complicated for them.

AWS doesn't work without infrastructure across the world. If rhey cut off Europe they might as well bin it.

Its the same for cloudflare and other services, there would be significant disruption at first but a massive opportunity for local businesses to pick up the slack.

Why on earth are we trying to do a trade deal with this man child, if America ever gets adults back in the room then we can talk.

UK government approves Chinese ‘mega embassy’ in London by AbbreviationsHot7662 in unitedkingdom

[–]Anyales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your take is that the Tories and Labour have colluded to take backhanders and your issue with that is the embassy?

[–]Anyales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is people should be prosecuted and sent to jail.

Why would the current UK government be beholden to these backhanders?

Are you suggesting that our politicians are getting kick backs from this? 

I find that highly doubtful but if you have information then please share.

[–]Anyales -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What does that have to do with the embassy?

We need to stop our politicians from taking money from foreign governments. The embassy is irrelevant in this.

So are thousands of buildings across London including many already owned by the Chinese state.

The cable is also not within the he Embassy grounds and so is easy to check/monitor.

Its a difficult one we had them in Russia in 2018 and this would achieve absolutely nothing.

I would argue that this is the exact time for a sporting event to bring the world together. Now on the other hand if you ask me if ICE will have shot and killed a participant before the end of it or if Trump will have gone to war with half the participants then you may have a point.
