Which means the interest will be way higher! Just like with our AAA-rated Eurobonds priced at BBB interest rates because the repayment plan is sketchy as heck (hope that years later countries will voluntarily cough up the money). For some reason the market don‘t like these ploys - look at DB-bonds

I had a debate on here with a poster who said we shouldn’t down Russian incursions because our interceptors might fall down on us if they miss. When I pointed out that we can easily mitigate this they countered it would still be really noisy and might disrupt sleep… German debate is something else

BUT Germany‘s laws on changing your name absolutely suck (basically impossible). Meaning you can only inherit a name with a former title like "Prinz" or "Graf" or a "von …", which became parts of the family name with the abolition of the aristocracy. So their titles are still protected as names…

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.
Google's Gemini AI tells a Redditor it's 'cautiously optimistic' about fixing a coding bug, fails repeatedly, calls itself an embarrassment to 'all possible and impossible universes' before repeating 'I am a disgrace' 86 times in succession

This form of cyber war will absolutely happen

this is what “cyber war” actually looks like: extremely close / exquisite sigint enabling real time targeting, and better planning to enhance the impact of kinetic effects.

(and because this is BlueSky: this is not an endorsement of Israel but commentary on what “cyber-war” actually looks like)
