Just to be precise: the European Space Agency (ESA) is not part of the European Union.
The former is about science and the later about forcing neoliberalism through unwilling People's throats. Current EU rules would probably forbid the creation of a ESA-like thing today.
With interest rates as low as they are, there's lots of things out there calling for investments.
The investment here is on greenhouse gas emission: emit more once in order to emit less in the long run. Interest rate on money are irrelevant, as the goal is not to maximize profit.
I recall the story a friend of mine told me, when he was in charge of public works.
Workers came to him telling the found a huge cable while excavating. I answered "We asked for all authorization and they were granted, hence pull it off
Within 15 minute, the city was full of national telco branded cars, with workers opening manholes everywhere. He asked what was going on and was replied they had a major transatlantic link cut. It seems the maps were not up to date, and authorization to dig was granted on basis of wrong data.
The title is wrong, both in the original article and in Slashdot summary.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is not a European Union (EU) institution. It stems from the Council of Europe (CoE), a much larger organization that includes 47 states. A lot of them are not part of EU, such as Russia for instance
In the case of HTTP, I wonder if causing an ever changing header to be sent could help. For instance change a cookie on each exchange, with random length.
In the case of POP, IMAP or SMTP, we are screwed, though.
No mere mortal will be able to read all the relevant law in one lifetime.
This cognitive limitation does not prevent judges from establishing landmark rulings that disregard laws that have been unused for a long time. This makes the job of telling what law is relevant or not very human, and not AI-friendly at all.
death knell for the rather dubious practice of "burying the opposition in paperwork."
Quite the contrary: drowning opposition in AI-generated paperwork will be cheap. But at some time, human judges will start rejecting excess of paperwork, as they also have to peek at it.
The answer is very simple to obtain if we go back to the definition of sovereignty, which is the enforcement by a group of rules on a territory.
If a Mars colony declares itself independent, is there an Earth nation that will be able to afford a fleet to bring a police force to Mars so that its own laws are enforced? As the answer is probably no, then Mars colonies are going to be independent if this is the will of the People of Mars.

But to be fair, EU also contribute to ESA budget.
The selling point of git was to be a decentralized source control system.
It is interesting to see people telling about a snow day while they have a tool that do not require a central repository
The point relies on a concept called "investment"

Among many ignored assumptions, did this post take into account the carbon emissions of building such a grid?

What is "pig iron" ethymology? Wikipedia has no record about that.

Times are weird, as we are proposed running decade-years old technology as a new feature.

Is their 3D printer able to operate in near-zero gravity? That does not look like something obvious.
[it] makes the good Korea almost impossible to protect.
Is nuclear weapon relevant against the neighbor? If the north bombs the south, odds are good that it will get nuclear pollution too.
What does it changes if North Korea masters building hydrogen bomb?
Does that make the country more scary than if it just mastered fission nuclear bomb?

I keep hearing this conspiracy theory, but all I ever get are links to conspiracy theory sites
Does a long paper from a Pulitzer-awarded journalist accounts as conspiracy?
A conventional weapon could destroy any habitat we're likely to build in the next century or two.
First, launching against civilian facilities is called a war crime.
Second, the launcher nation will not be able to enforce its law on survivors until it sends a police force on martian ground.

I am not sure that legal review is about looking for missing a feature: that looks rather technical, doesn't it?
fortunately science requires actual data.
Except cosmology and string theory, which are exempted from experimental testing but are still called science
This has a strong smell of déjà vu. Something is secure within a domain of application. Attacker push the system outside of domain of application.
I am almost certain I did read something similar several years ago with quantum crypto and blinded receptor
It is a sad time when a technical specification has to undergo legal review.
That system seems to require a lot of random data. What is the plan to gave good enough entropy sources so that it is not broken by being predictable?
How does Facebook/Cloudflare fallback mechanism work?
I have saw a few explanation here about SHA1 cipher negotiation, but this is about certificate, not cipher.
If they want the legal ability, that suggests they already have the technical ability but retain themselves to use it for legal reasons.
In other words, all encryption is already broken. That, or either she is pushing a law without understanding what she says.
It would be nice to stop bragging about war capacity against Russia and China.
USA, Russia and China are all nuclear powers, which means a war involving them cannot only have losers. Please think about diplomacy instead.
