May I wonder what would you propose in his stead ?

I am not a military inclined person, but asking for missiles that are purposefully built to target air missiles as well as their delivery mechanisms seems reasonable to me.

Am I missing something ?


I would assume Russian military would not be relying on GPS but use GLONAS[1] instead.

Same question but for Switzerland.


This actually depends. If you need something specific, tailored to your needs and operational niche, then obviously you can not forego a visit to a lawyer. However, for some documents, a reputable template is more than enough. (As even lawyers rarely draft "bespoke" documents for every client and happen to use a templated text more often than not).


Even when I've ended up needing a lawyer (albeit for private legal transactions like estate planning) going through the process of finding a template, customizing it to what I wanted, and thinking through as much as I could was invaluable. The subject matter can be complex and lawyers are expensive, paid by time, and (in my experience) have a habit of bulldozing through explanations to clients; the more prep you've done ahead of time the more value you can get out of your lawyer time (e.g. by knowing what questions to ask and having a clear picture of the issues at hand).


It is definitely possible. But it is not always trivial to know which solution you need without the advice of a lawyer. Lawyers use templates a lot, but they also know which templates work in which scenarios and in which jurisdictions.

Personally I'd be more comfortable using templates on my own for generic business documents, and less comfortable using them for areas of the law that vary greatly by state, like landlord/tenant law, or employment law.


You have a point, but it's important to note that the template needs to be local to you. Laws aren't global, what is an appropriate T&C for a service hosted in USA won't be okay for a service hosted in UK or Singapore, and even within USA differences in state laws sometimes are critical, so you need to ensure that you're not getting a template aimed at somewhere else.


Illinois (biometric laws) come to mind


My apologies for hijacking the thread, but could you please elaborate on your noscript/(x)html map setup ?

How would one even handle zooming and paning in such a case ? With forms ?

Yes, with basic and stupid html forms.

Have a look at links web browser.


And ad a bonus, you get to be tracked everywhere for a tiny monthly fee ! Who wouldn't want that ! /S


Funny but Chrome on Android opens the website without any issues


Your comment is based on the premises that Meta/Google... are there to help you shop/find the best result once you've made your mind. For that purpose, an optimised search engine is indeed very useful.

But I don't think that's why intent profiling exists. What if, instead of helping you find quickly what you are looking for, they forced you through a less perfect system that, while leading you to your result, suggests you other, somewhat similar articles... Maybe you'll buy more? That incentivises ads and thus increases profits for the AdTech.


I was talking about Facebook's not so subtle nudge when they have already guessed your intent. It's already known that they do that. Then they show ads on their online properties few minutes later, people have already sensed this deception and their are reels made on this behaviour. How about facebook lets me search through the catalogue of websites who have opted to advertise with them. Maybe once it is well known that facebook also allows for normal search within their apps, other e-commerce website would be willing to pay a nominal fee to be included in search results.


The Guardian seems to have covered that as well here: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/04/ex-danish-defe...


According to the lore a goldfish has an attention span of about 3 seconds, are you sure humans nowadays have one *that long* ?
