I hope all those transactions are digitally dyed so they can be tracked.

This is like a story of the olden days when ETL was the major process to automate messy data into data lakes which then either drowned some application or were distilled through models into the purest cross tabular views imaginable.

Good to see that Databricks persists as well as Spark.

There's movements from all over. If the US actually joined in on controlling sanctioned tankers used by Russia then that would be a positive but so far they've only been interested in those docked in Venezuela.

If they meet in international waters then it will be a standoff and that's all.

The UK is farther away from Greenland than the USA, but the route for most of the tankers is through the Baltic.

These tankers as well got through "the biggest ever blockade", already.

If the secondary question after the 'optionality' word (is that really an adverb?), was "So the President is given a multiple choice question in Security Briefings, with at the top drop thermonuclear and at the bottom steal all the money?"

When I saw a number of posts about an interview where the interviewer inserts themselves in to meet the programs timetable which undermines the whole interview I thought oh Emma Barnett is on.

I just heard her with James May, and he seemed to be thinking so ask me a real question.

Which is pretty close to what the May plan was.

Extravagant unachievable promises.
It's name of the game for entryest parties fantasising about all the cuts in Services and support of local social initiatives.

And then to discover the realities of Local Govt, that they are underfunded by around 25% on average. 3.4B this year doubling next year

Not defend them particularly but populism isn't the answer. You can have charisma and integrity but it's a hard ask for a politician.

None of which have anything to do with immigration, refugees, the tantrums and insecurities of populist leaders or being particularly emotional.

Good Governance is rarely populist and it's easy to obscure with performative dances.

Hyperbole over Governance.

They should have had Canada as well.

Bribed with what, independence?
Because that's what they want.
That isn't what Trump wants.

Greenland is only a partial aim, there's the whole of the Eastern Seaboard, the Hudson and the contiguous Northern edge of the Continent.

In other words Canada.

It's confusing to me that anyone expects a model trained to manipulate linguistic symbols to transform a query and produce more linguistic symbols that approximate to an answer would succeed at all at anything else.

Nailed pretty much anything she wanted to do.

Russia clings to this, China assumes this for itself.

For those mourning the end of the rules based international order it was always a fragile and thin covering.

It can be reasserted, but only if the USA becomes irrelevant. Empires fall faster than their rise.

There's maybe five US politicians that would accept the jurisdiction of the ICC.

On the whole the USA is set up as an sovereign island accountable to no other jurisdiction. This is regardless of the political colour at the time.

When the Govt is reasonable it's tolerable, otherwise not.
