    Interesting with AI auto translate, especially on the database side if you don't store the input as unicode (or do not store it properly as unicode).

    So in your view, based on this footage, it was allright to put a bullet in his head?

    He didn't even try to reach his own gun. What happened seem to be "unerwarteter Nahschuss in das Hinterhaupt" (unexpected shot in the back of the head) as it was called in the DDR.

    Another woke media report showing an agent leaving the scene with the weapon prior to the killing of Alex Pretti. https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/24/us/invs-videos-show-federal-officer-recovered-gun

    I know this is woke media, but they put together a timeline of what happened (free article). https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/01/24/us/minneapolis-shooting-alex-pretti-timeline.html Seems like the shots were fired after he was disarmed. But that does perhaps not matter. Luckily there...

    Swedish pension fund Alecta exits U.S. treasuries. Total sale about $7bn. Sounds reasonable given the speech or what we should call yesterdays performance at Davos.

    I would not have too high hopes regarding his cognitive functions though, given the letter to Norway for not giving him the Nobel Peace Price. On the other hand, I am sure he find ways to make money for him and his friends with these market movements.

    Apparently, the EU is working on a Sundaythis week (which is highly unusual) and they are looking at this document: https://policy.trade.ec.europa.eu/enforcement-and-protection/protecting-against-coercion_en We will see what next week brings.

    That is probably true in reality, but it is safer on the regulatory side, which is a competitive advantage over Google and Microsoft. People are really interested in moving away from US owned platforms right now. And with the situation deteriorating by the hour, the interest will likely only...

    So, the DOJ is now going after Frey and Walz, as predicted. On another note, AWS sets up the AWS European Soverign Cloud - Built, operated, controlled, and secured in Europe. https://aws.eu/ This is probably the only way forward if the cloud providers wants to continue with their business in...

    Some. kind of uprising is perhaps more probable than an outright war. I share your opinion 100%, and it just sucks for everybody except a few billionares. The situation in Europe is that we now spend more money on our defence + we have superior tech over the enemy (from the east). But it takes...

    This will most likely end up as a civil war/revolution in the future. Perhaps a couple of generations down the road, but the situation will not go away or improve by itself. Now that both [r]ussia and USA are openly teaming up to attack the European democracies, I am worried that Europe will...

    150 hp is really efficient. And I am somewhat jealous of you and living in Denmark. I have ~1100-1200 km to drive before I reach the continent. Venice is really nice, haven't been to Lago di Garda, Verona is probably the closest. Italy in general is fantastic with the food and everything.
