I guess you didn't know the Dutch secret service hacked the Russians' security cameras... So yes we do know they hacked the DNC and other evidence showed they worked for the GRU.
Please ignore the whole translation budget of the parliament which allows even for the things like instant translation to all European langauges during sessions
Considering how important legal documents are, no.
also please ignore the fact that unelected Commission apparently has no problems with languages.
They only have to speak one, the same one.
You don't even understand what I'm talking about, do you?
Desperation on part of EU troll factory crew is getting real. "If Commission sends package to Council, which then sends it to Parliament, it didn't originate from Commission" according to your BS.
Wrong, the Commission is not involved at any point.
And second, no, Parliament cannot modify the package and vote on it.
Wrong, I already proved it can. Read the fucking law.
There's zero legal obligation for Commission to care about this whining, crying and begging in any way
Yet the Commission cannot pass any law without Parliament.
So the only thing you can actually whine about here is that Parliament cannot pass a law that neither the Commission nor the Council of Ministers/heads of govt want.
which is why most of these irrelevant resolutions are filed in the nearest trash bin at the low level bureaucracy of the Commission.
The European Parliament doesn't draft laws because it a) speaks a dozen different languages and b) has no real expertise in drafting legislation.
It would need a thousand translators to translate the dozens of proposals for EU laws as well as waste a lot of the Parliament's time.
Legislation may also come from the Council of Ministers, who basically represent the elected national govts of the 28 countries.
The European Parliament vote on the President. The Commissioners are decided between the President and the Council of Ministers, and the European Parliament has a veto. Commissioners are generally ex- prime ministers and ministers. There's no point Commissioners proposing laws the Parliament won't pass and they take Resolutions very seriously.
You're also completely wrong that the European Parliament has "no right to modify the package and vote on the modified legislation." The European Parliament absolutely does have that right and it also has the right to tell the European Commission what to draft. You can read about it, with the actual law here:
pretend extra hard that adding an extra step of European Council between Commission and Parliament constitutes a meaningful difference.
It does. And it proves your statement completely incorrect: "All legislation must come from European Commission"
The second thing you're wrong about is that the European Parliament has "no right to modify the package and vote on the modified legislation." The European Parliament absolutely does have that right and it also has the right to tell the European Commission how to draft the law instead. WP's summary plus source here:
Coastal real estate is probably worth $125+ trillion. And that doesn't include cost of dealing with migratory pressures, fighting wars over resources etc.
Then there's how much people would pay to avoid that misery ie quality of life value.
I once strongly believed in this, but to my left is a computer that is entirely capable of doing nuclear bomb simulation. I'm curious why there's never any models given that I can simply run.
Now Slashdot got invaded by enough alt-right to drive off people like me who didn't want to read self-entitled hating teenagers. So that might need to be taking into account.
I love Google Keep. Losing it was the worst thing about giving up Android.
Instant note taking either typed or voice. Fantastic UI. Good integration with Google Calendar. Syncs online. Can pin to-do list, distinguishing it and prioritising it over other notes taken.
It would be relatively simple to rank the base credibility of news articles according to the source.
Sources already have a base reliability. Let's say they're out of 10. Then they could have modifiers for particular subject areas eg The UK's Daily Telegraph isn't a terrible paper. It's biased towards capitalism and biased against the EU and climate change.
So it could be a 7/10 with a -3 or -4 modification for those particular subjects.
Ranking news sources would be very easy for media watch groups, political scientists etc.

It's largely because of FPTP. Only 2 UK parties can actually win and have won every single election for a century.
And the smaller parties need about 100x more votes to win a seat than the two incumbents.
Neither the US not the UK system have anything more than a passing resemblance to democracy.
... punctuated by Express propaganda like "EU aristocracy" whoever the fuck they are.
The Commission is decided through negotiation between 3 elected offices.
He's cleverer than most Leave voters, which isn't saying much.
His ego is just so desperate to be right/bash the EU that he doesn't care that he's wrong and misinforming everyone.

You're obviously grossly misinformed, pro-Brexit as a result and quite happy to spread disinformation about the EU.

Whilst UK police seem to be better behaved than their US counterparts, they are almost never punished.
And from another psychologist, I'd say his criticism is overblown.
"Anyway, we can stop talking about it, because the proposed actions always involve diminishing everyone's lives"
If you need to drive a gas guzzler then you don't have a life.
Coastal real estate is probably worth $125+ trillion. And that doesn't include cost of dealing with migratory pressures, fighting wars over resources etc.

$20 trillion seems pretty low to me.
Here's how they calculated it though:

Found nothing to replace it on Sailfish.
But I think they're going to struggle with this one.
... and would we ever know?
What AI lacks is common sense. Common sense is a bunch of heuristics, that align with one's values.
I don't think it's that hard to replicate.
... and the first episode was pretty bad.
Secondly, McFarlane is a dreadful actor and his 1st officer likewise.
Thirdly, you're probably a sci-fi fan, in which case you're biased.
And they all looked pretty ugly to me, bar possibly the VR/AR headset.

Because you're penalised for voting for a third party candidate ie you don't have real democracy.
