Unlike other American brands, Europeans were for a time quite willing to buy a certain brand of electric vehicles until CEO & POTUS Elon Musk decided to go the way of a certain 1930s German dictator that brings bad memories to Europeans.
There is PRQL and a few others.
There is also JOOQ which does transpilation to and between various SQL dialects (sadly open core with a small core).
Also, some databases like ClickHouse are implementing alternative languages like PRQL and Kusto natively.
In those "newer designs" there is no electoral college. Also various alternative electoral systems have been tried. The winner-takes-all system of the US is known pathological and inevitably results in a two party system. Democracies in Europe most often result in many parties and a necessity to form coalitions. Ireland even goes as far as using IRV and STV.
The issue isn't even in how votes are counted, it's in parliamentary versus presidential republics.
The latter inevitably slide towards autocracy. Too much power is concentrated in one person, who is almost impossible to legally remove before their term is up, and who will happily punish dissenters within the party.
In parliamentary republics, every PM is one internal party vote away from being deposed. You tend to see less of the tail wagging the dog in them.
Trump did this last time too. Is there a difference in the level of preparedness in archiving data compared to last time? If so, in what way is it different? Is there institutional or independent preparedness?
(Note my lab isn't partisan and this isn't a partisan effort; public data always needs saving. But there's definitely a reason people are paying attention right now.)
I think in some ways the community was less prepared this time, because there was a lot of investment in 2016-2017 and then many of the archives created at that point didn't end up being used; partly because the changes at the federal level turned out to be smaller and slower in 2017 than they're looking like this time. So some people didn't choose to invest that way this time around.
[Edit: this means I think it's really important that data archives are useful. Sorting through data and putting a good interface on it should help people out today as well as being good prep for the future.]
In other ways there's much more preparation; EOT Archive now has a regular practice of crawling .gov websites before and after each change of administration, which is a really great way of giving citizens a sense of how their government evolves. It will just tend to miss data that you can't click to in a generic crawl.
What in the Cold War conspiracy theory was that...
>> The Kremlin’s design necessarily depends on the adoption of a single world belief system or religion. Expect a syncretic, gnostic blend, rooted in hierarchy — the Russian Orthodox Church at the core, and other religious factions accorded favor based on demonstrated fealty.
Good luck with that. The most popular religions today are forked versions of one guys story that they couldn't agree on and have been involved in acts of genocide towards one another because of it--for centuries.
Does that(the patronization) happen frequently? I far more frequently witness people lionizing people of the past in all sorts of benign and malign ways.
I second this recommendation. Framework laptops are great but they are not without issue (firmware updates have been lagging, battery life is fine but not great). They are a great longlasting purchase that you can keep upgrading. But they are not without quirks.
But to me it looks like you just want a laptop that does it's job reliably and have a limmited budget.
You certainly have plenty of disposable income and lack of environmental care to just buy parts without checking compatibility and then just trash everything. Don't diss the entire field of custom PC building just because you got it wrong once.
Also as, machinestops said, you can get the Framework laptop prebuilt.
