While the analysis is definitely intresting, OP misses completely the point. And worst, this work becomes a joke. OP is not losing $780 because OP, thanks to Anthropic, is making far more money than without it. This does not wanna say that Claude should have current level of uptime, on the countrary, they should improve it but the point OP makes is plain wrong.
As a European, this is genuinely alarming. Headlines like this make me feel that NATO is effectively over at best, and that war may be approaching at worst.
`”fundamental disagreement" between the Trump administration and European allies.`
Long term it probably even is better if the US just leave, especially if the next president is aligned with the current government, we might as well cut our losses early and restructure before they bully the rest of their allies.
NATO has been over for decades, it is now just useful to the US military complex to secure one of their market.
Worst the concept of "European allies" is not real. At the end of WW2 Western Europe became a colony or dominion of the US like Eastern Europe got under USSR control. Europeans might have been told something else by their politicians and intellectuals but it is because they were allowed to save face and part of the "Free World" propaganda.
As the last "EU leaders" of the WW2 generation faded away the next one were too stupid to understand what they are.
At the same time the US got confused too. It probably doesn't know if it is the Roman Republic or Empire. So now everybody is confused.
One thing is for sure the so called EU leadership is of very low quality and they have absolutely no idea what they are doing.
They have antagonised their own population and about every other centers of power: the US, Russia and China. No regime can survive this.
My guess is Europe is gonna be split in two again (the fracture line is starting to be clear) or worst go through a hybrid civil war before and rot for a while.
Good riddance, De Gaulle was always right about americans, we might finally be able to get out and build our own stuff instead of being a bully's bitch forever. Given the current situation and trends I don't expect there will be anything good to expect from the US for a while.
Yes I am not sure people really have a grasp of what NATO is.
NATO is just a military fair where Denmark, Belgium or Greece get scammed and order a dozen F35. It is gonna take a lot of hacking to have them attack their master, but John Conor did it in Terminator 2 so there is hope.
And also a lot of people get some cushy jobs and contract there. They sometimes produce funny videos and documents like [0]
The idea that you can takeover NATO without the US and repurpose it to fight a war is nonsense.
This idea has probably been put in people head by having Mark Rutte, an aspiring pianist who worked in HR at Unilever, talking nonsense on TV all the time.
That's an insightful question about Greenland, which Denmark desperately wanted to retain in the 1950s to the extent of unilaterally making it a 'part' of the Kingdom without consulting the Greenlanders.
Ironically it was only Belgium that spoke out, based on its own colonial dirty laundry.
The Peace President is about to bring war on Venezuela and destabilize the country (and probably with far reaching consequences in the region). Who would have thought?
Many soccer associations are saying — what a stupid name, soccer, you know everybody else calls it football, the NFL has been mean, we should really do something about that, can we do something about that?, let's get some people on that to change the name of football to something else and then soccer to football — they're saying, and these are some of the best soccer associations, the real best, FIFA in fact, it's saying we got the FIFA peace prize, and you know it was the first one, because I'm the president of peace, some say the most peaceable president, and the radical left hates it, but Venezuela you say?, I can't say I've heard of it, but the people who deal with those things, they tell me, and they're very smart, the greatest, some say, they say that this just has to be done, so we're doing that, and did you know they stole our oil?, stole it a long time ago, and it's ours, it really is, they tell me, but I haven't heard about this strike yet, if it's important I'm sure its reach my desk, it's a beautiful wood desk
Venezuela is not a stable country. There is active famine. You can easily make an argument against the war, but to suggest it's a stable country is false.
That's part of the USA's plan, in the hopes that the people will turn on Maduro and oust him so the USA doesn't have to do it.
But how did that strategy work out in Libya? Its an absolute mess. Now its a conduit for African migration into Europe. Who knows what destabilizing Venezuela will do.
Wow! As others have said, deal of the century!! As a side note, a few years back, I used to scrape eBay for Intel QS Xeon and quite a few times managed to snag incredible deals, but this is beyond anything anyone has ever achieved!
I have also bought Crucial for decades. Great quality and reliability for a fair price. Anybody doing anything semi-professional will be impacted by this questionable decision.
If you are going to sell shovels for a gold rush its pretty silly to keep rational market compatibility on things like prices, defect rate, packaging, correct contents.. Probably better to spare the brand (for a reboot?) and also not compete as much with all that junk when it shows up again on eBay.
