And what do you suggest EU does if Trump decides to invade Greenland ? Going to war against Putin could be considered, but trying to fight both Trump and Putin would be suicidal.
Unfortunately it seems the only option at the moment is to wait for American people to wake up and replace Trump in two years from now ... If they ever have the opportunity to vote again of course.
Will whoever replaces Trump do things any differently in this area? Harvard-Harris polled Americans last month and found strong majority support for the U.S. arresting Maduro: https://harvardharrispoll.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/HHP... (page 53). 83% of Democrats said Maduro should be removed, and 73% of Democrats who thought Maduro should be removed though the U.S. should do it. So 60% net. America seems to be in a Manifest Destiny mood, not just Trump.
Greenland has tremendous mineral resources and Denmark doesn’t have the capacity to extract them. If the U.S. decides that it needs to keep China from stepping in and developing Greenland’s resources, then it will do what it needs to do. Trump will just be boisterously upfront about it.
> Maduro and his top people have all been indicted by the United States for narco-terrorism and other charges, and there is a $50 million
reward for his capture by the U.S. government. Maduro lost the last election and he has tanked the economy, but kept in power anyway and as a result millions of Venezuelans have entered the US. Should we arrest Maduro and take him to the U.S. to face trial or not try to arrest him? Given this situation on the ground, should the president of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro be removed from office or not?
This is the very definition of a leading question, with extremely slanted language at that. Judging by others instances of this in the poll, I can’t take this pollster seriously.
I believe in free markets within a single jurisdiction. Even expanding to multiple states poses problems: e.g. Tennessee can use freedom of commerce domestically undercut labor and environmental regimes California want. And if you zoom out further to include geopolitics and government intervention in seeking critical resources, then no, I don’t believe in the free market for that. I believe that each country is a distinct economic actor in an anarchy of nations.

Probably not going to happen. Too much of the American economy depends on the massive grift continuing. The average citizen’s impact on policy before 2016 was already quite small; today it’s practically infinitesimal.
Well it is open source and they expect the community to add more renderers. So if you are a sveltekit specialist this could actually be an opportunity.
There are usually 10 aisles of meat/meat-related products, and 1/2 aisle of "not meat" products (exaggerated to make my point.) Meat and dairy lobbies are very strong in France, and it's obvious from ads/store aisles.
So I'm pleasantly surprised to see an ad from a French supermarket that is not trying to sell you more turkey, sausage, and beef for Christmas but rather focuses on vegetables.
What do you mean? The will be an aisle with ham, sausage etc, and a butchery. There will be one for canned food, which will include some tuna, cassoulet and raviolis.
There is way more surface dedicated to meat and dairy than to their alternatives. Typically it’s rows of freezers and fridges for meat and dairy, and a third of an alley for alternatives.
Opus 4.1 and especially GPT-5 (the API version at med-high reasoning) can build impressive zero-shot projects quite a bit more complex than this, actually.
> If I was an IC at an airplane manufacturer and a bug I wrote caused an airplane crash - who is legally responsible?
I am not sure it is that complicated, from a legal perspective. It is the company hiring you that would be legally responsible. If you are an external consultant, things may get more complicated, but I am pretty sure that for critical mission software companies wouldn't use external consultants (for this particular reason but also many others)
> these kids are African royalty. They spoke perfect fluent Japanese and they couldn't get access into bars that would let me in
Let's imagine we discuss a tiny bar in New-York or Paris that wouldn't let asian or black people in. I doubt the discussion would be only about how this place is nice and cosy and everyone that could possibly get in should just try it.
It's like Japanese people have a free pass to be a*holes, but only them, because you know, Japan ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
