I would recommend going to the WTO and let them clarify who is subsidizing whom with how much. Anyway, both sides will subsidize their space access as an strategic asset. Especially with Trump in the White House the EU will not stop supporting ESA and Arianespace.
ESA gets a lot of state money, but it is the European Space Agency so the NASA lookalike, but with a much smaller budget. There is some support for the development of the Ariane rockets from and through ESA and European states. However, SpaceX does a vast number of launches for the USA military and state, while the EU does not subsidize the flights by paying higher prices for their launches. For example, for the Galileo (GPS) satellites, the EU use Soyuz rockets from Russia starting from the Korou. So indeed there are more subsidies in the US for development and launches than in Europe.
The USA was once the beakon of democracy and freedom with a vibrant culture. True it has a rassistic past and present, but it was getting better for a long time. Then fear crawled up the neck of the USA, poor people get poorer, racism surges, healthcare is further away from a system for all than before, the government alienates allies with lies and cannon boat politics. In short it is now the ugly brother of its former glory. And hollow sound the cry for greatness over the land while the country moves away from former greatness, faster and faster.
Presenly the USA is nowhere near the "we bring all people together". At the moment it is more a " How to alienate your friends and foes, and accidentally trigger some wars" show.
If he keeps all his promises, the US end up as a feudal protectionist state in a decade. Better start praising your fuhrer Trump now before it is too late.
This is bullshit. Iran accepted inspections from the IAEA which allows all of us to see whether Iran is keeping its word. As US sanctions have a great influence also an companies in the EU, as they make business with the US, to have the US in the treaty was important in an economic sense, but also in a political sense. The US had all the leverage when they were in the treaty and nothing Iran did forced the US out of the treaty. So in case Iran did not want the US in the treaty (which makes no sense) why did your administration fulfill their wet dream?
BTW: It is a treaty not a deal. Deals are done between businesses.
That means we cannot make a deal with the US regarding climate and peace, as the US ruling party gives a shit or even believes that there is no climate change, and they are not interested in peace. Well then. Good bye. The world is not waiting for the US to catch up.
Credibility means that you keep your word. You military strength only helps you to bully others. bullies are never credible (beside being an ass). - Your technological superiority is not really there. You lost a lot of technology capability to China. Your steel sucks and you have to import it elsewhere. - You scientific dominance is based on past reputation and the ability to attract foreign scientists. Without them you would not be able to fill all positions. - I do not know where you get the cultural dominance thing from? Just because people watch US movies all around the world? In the past the US were a beacon of hope and enlightenment (even if that was not really the case, but that was how people looked at the US). Nowadays, you inability to provide freedom to all people living in the US, giving them education, healthcare, real jobs, etc. shows that you are not the model other want to copy anymore. SO cultural dominance was a thing in the past. Now no one really looks at the US to see how things are done in a better way, you have become an example of how not to do it. - Your economy has one edge that is having the Dollar as a global reserve currency, which allows you to create money in the currency if needed. However, if you look at the complete industry of the US, you can see that the producing parts marginalized while money-based companies are generating more and more of the GDP. They are fueled by money lend by others. - Your nuclear arsenal only helps you to bully others.
BTW nobody asked you to have the over 40% of the world's military budget. And regarding your state deficit, this is because Trump and other republicans before him lowered taxes for the rich and big companies. Also Trump and other didn't work towards a global fair tax system where companies and individuals cannot trick the system. Quite the contrary, the US itself incorporates tax safe havens. If you want to reduce your debt. Stop spending for more and more military, make less war and tax the rich. Instead you lower taxes for the rich and start wars.
And one final thought: You really want to fix Afghanistan alone? Or is the help provided by allies not helpful.
No that is not how this works. When Trump is gone by 2020 or 2024 (if he ever leaves) and you have a new administration with a sane person at the top, other countries will still ask whether the next president will stick to treaties or move away from them again. After Trump you cannot convince anyone easily to accept that Trump is a single mistake and that you will keep treaties. It will take decades and multiple of them to restore what Trump destroyed yesterday. The worst thing is everyone knows that Netanjahu lied (there is no new evidence) and Trump knows that too, but still he used them as "cause" for breaking the treaty. Furthermore, Trump is threatening EU countries and businesses there to be affected by sanctions. Even though the EU still recognizes the treaty. This harms the EU US relations and also affects NATO another cornerstone of the Western power structure. In short this can be an central step towards ending liberal values (no I do not mean neo-liberal) worldwide. The last time we had such a setback, we ended up in WW II.
These measures are there, as black people have a disadvantage in society. As an adult you should know the rational behind it. For example black people are more likely to be shot by police or arrested for minor issues. You know that, yet you post such rubbish.
First of all I did not say that Trump is fascist dictator. I also did not say that the US is a fascist state. My point is that the Us is moving towards conditions which resemble a totalitarian police state including white chauvinism (that is the declaration of race the the claim of superiority of the white race). And that is pretty much what fascism is built on. If you look at your Mussolini quote, you can see that the collectivism excludes Mussolini himself. And if you look at historical fascistic regimes, like in Nazi Germany, you can see that the collectivism was limited to the ordinary people, which are of course above the Jews and other. Also disabled people are less worthy then healthy people. This implies a strong hierarchy of value for each individual. You can see the same tendency in the US, where black people are considered and treated as if they where of lower quality, then there are Hispanics, and the crown are white people. And inside these white people there are Liberals (which nowadays has the same undertone as Communist under McCarthy) and the right minded Republicans.
So instead of citing Mussolini, you should look at how it actually worked because claims and actions are not always the same.
Also I want to remind you that I referred to fascist and fundamentalist tendencies. There are also traits present of feudalistic systems. As the US has a disconnected upper class where Trump belongs to.
Are we not already watering oyr plants with it? In other areas this is already the case. People are drinking raw water, we produce CO2 as if there is no tomorrow, we use plastics as if this is not an issue, people start believing in a flat earth.
Under the current administration, the train to the past has picked up speed. The US is converting itself into a fascist and religious fundamentalist country which hates science, bullies others and has nukes. If you have a problem with Iran having nukes, then such country should not have nukes too.
Your president Trump said himself that there is warm weather and cold weather, and that it changes all the time. Therefore, climate change is a hoax. On that premise he says weather == climate. Therefore, there is no climate. In addition they deny that climate zones are moving which in turn indicates that they deny the very existence of climate. Beside that: As long as a shorthand is good enough to understand what is meant by it, it is sufficient and does not need to be descriptive by itself. For example, we call the police the police. Even though police is derived from polis which refers to the public or the city itself. It is also a shorthand for order/law (of the) city (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...).
First, papers are not necessarily getting longer. It depends on the discipline and outlet. In CS papers are often published in context of conferences. They have generally page limited. In other disciplines and in journals, papers can become longer, as they have to provide more context as the disciplines and subdisciplines accumulate more knowledge. You just need more context info to understand the stuff.
Second, in CS, especially in software engineering, publications require now an empirical evaluation of the claim. This requires more space.
And their, presently papers are augmented by additional publications such aa data publication and source code. So I would rather see the paper evolving then going away or becoming obsolete. In future, we will have also interactive parts in a paper or related to a paper. Still you need some text to explain your hypotheses, your way of proofing it, and the evaluation.
You do not understand economy. Bitcoin is a limited resource such as gold or diamonds or coral reefs. In case a lot of people want that resource its value (in traded other resources). This does not free the world from speculation and economic collapses, which were all based on speculation of limited resources. No matter it was tulips or overproduction in the 1920s or the crash in 2008 all based on speculation.
Since when are libertarians left? Absolute libertarians ultimately believe in the right of the strong. They are also utilitaristic and therefore even worse than fascists.
It makes no sense for the US administration to keep oil and gas prices down, as the US gas and oil industry would suffer. As these guys are sitting in the government, they will not harm themselves. And a GOP congress will also not support actions which are against the interest of the oil and gas industry.
Really, AS a student you should be able to do some coding in paper, cardboard, whiteboard etc. This is how we communicate primarily with each other and customers. Also it is an exam not a piece of software going to run somewhere. BTW even after the exam you should still aim for knowing everting the course thought you.
Facebooks business model is selling your data and access to the data via an search API. That is what you use to identify target groups and special people, like influencer, to coerce them into using certain services and buy products. While this is disgusting, it is not new. They did that before Cambridge Analytics and they do it now. And they are not the only ones doing so. All these platforms must be regulated heavily.
UK media supported Brexit. Just have a look on the Daily Mail, Sun and the Guardian. Then you can see that most media in the UK (in terms of viewers/readers) where pro Brexit.
While you are right regarding immigration , you are also wrong. Immigration would.not be an issue if people did not have the feeling of being left behind. All the right wing rubbish in the EU is based on the left behind sentiment and the corrupt elites meme. The cause of this is neolibwralism which ruined social systems and run down education. And that is the consequence of elites which are disconnected from the average population. Furthermore, the world is changing rapidly, due to the digital transformation and climate change, but instead of leading the transformation, politics is merely reacting and often fails even then. Also EU politicians use the EU as a scape goat for laws they wanted to pass nationally, but couldn't. So now the EU is used to push for the same shit and the the EU is guilty.
This absolutely wrong. The highest contribution was always Germany, as it has the largest single economy. Nevertheless, the UK paid more than they got back, but in turn they had access to the EU market. That was good for their economy.
