One might also add that Capitalism's core requirement is a perpetual growth machine, which is just as mathematically and logically absurd as a perpetual motion machine.

a country that is no longer young

It's barely more than embryonic at 78. A country doesn't reach maturity until it becomes a civilization, and that takes (arbitrarily chosen) a thousand.

Good article though.

Little-known fact: evolution was just a smokescreen because they couldn't actually prosecute him for that hairdo.

I notice that the research didn't include DeepSeek. It would have been nice to see how it compares.

We shouldn't negotiate with terrorists.

Why is anyone entertaining this rubbish? Downvoted.

Does anyone else see a suspicious disconnect here? The actual legislation cited is a prohibition about "any intelligence cooperation with the Mossad". And what's more, this complaint is coming from Euronews, a news agency which is likely hostile to the regime. Whatever you think about the regime, I am pretty sure that cooperation with the enemy in wartime is maximally punishable in any country.

So my takeaway when I read this piece was that it sounded like a fox complaining that teeth and claws are forbidden in the chicken coop.

It's weird that the OP has such high regard for Pinterest. I have always seen it as search-result polution and never really understood why it exists, other than as proof that we need to have search functions like "-site:____".

Isn't there some document they don't have that you need? In Canada you would be asking for their SIN number so payroll can complete the hiring process. No SIN? Oops sorry we can't hire you because the paperwork is incompletable.

If you guys have no equivalent over there then I don't see how it's your problem.

I believe that is a backronym.

That technology would be okay if it was 100% open source, and came with a hard-copy manual alongside purchase so I could write a Python script to control it from my PC. Then and only then would I consider deploying such a technology in my home.

I just returned to Canada after spending some months in Belgium. The first couple of times I saw dogs in restaurants and cafés, I was slightly weirded out. But after seeing it happen repeatedly with nobody ever even batting an eye I realized it was totally normal there. And not once did I ever see a dog cause a problem or make any excessive noise. In the Netherlands as well.

Not a dog owner myself.
