The UK is a democracy of some kind. They voted out. Their government triggered the process. Now the country is leaving. You cannot be out of a club and still use its facilities. They are still part if Europe, but.eu refers to the EU.you cannot have eu in Norway.
The current Us government is weakening the ability of the state. Therefore, it cannot act on the behalf of the people. What you need is a powerful state and a lot of democratic control and checks and balances. For example, the parliament should be the place where laws are made. The president should only have executive powers. The main goal of the main state should be supporting social and technical standards, provide security when this cannot be done by each federal state etc. For example, the federal government should define minimal standards for police education and training, e.g., 3 years training + 3 years as a junior police officer in the field. The single states can then implement then this education scheme and employ the police officers. Is a state not wealthy enough to employ enough police officers they should get transfers from other states or the federal government, as crime does not stop at state borders.
Your metaphor is wrong. The advisory board is full of scientists. They apply science to issues. Science is not a single instrument, but it is a way to address issues methodically and rational to avoid anecdotal "facts" which can lead you in the wrong way. Presently, you are losing your government. You will end up in feudalism.
AI can become a problem. Right now not so much by the infamous Skynet scenario and more in conjunction with big data and automation. It will kill jobs which are repetitive. Together with big data it will be used to manipulate the masses in ways past dictatorships where unable to. It can ruin our democracies. The current abilities of mass media including talk radio and the internet have already been augmented. The same applies to advertisements and customer communication. Yes we need regulations. And a lot of them. And it should include that software should not be allowed to be designed to stimulate dopamine responses.
Looks like MIT and the fusion gang have understood that the clock is ticking and therefore the 50 year promise does no longer work. Unfortunately, it will not help even if they where able to pull it off because by 2033, we must be half through with our climate change adaptation. 2045 we are either done or finished.
Present day AI is based on technology and concepts from the 1960s and 1970s. The only thing that changed which make it now more viable are: Computing power, advances in parallelism, faster algorithms and the availability of digital data. Beside that it is 50 year old tech.
Facts are information which can be objectively evaluated, i. e. , everyone can in principle test them. Fake news are fiction, they are subjective and can either be based on lack of information, wishful thinking, or deliberate lies.
For example, steel tariffs have been issued by Trump is a fact. If they have a positive or negative impact on jobs in the US is speculation. While there are some interpretation which are more likely than others they are not fact but the interpretations + probabilities are.
This only applies to the ministry of foreign affairs. The defence/military ministry was using the good stuff from the US all day long. However, defence is not the core competence of they ministry. Instead they mastered mismanagement and incompetence, e.g., broken submarines, marine helicopters that do rust over the ocean, illegal drones, guns that do not work in hot conditions etc.
The attack happened in December not yesterday. We live in a democracy (most of the time) therefore they have to inform the public. The parliament and the press are pissed because they have not been informed sooner. Also the Russians, if they were the criminals, know want they took.
True. However, in context of global warming or climate change the term climate used originates from science. Therefore, the wider definition of climate does not apply. However, I can understand that there is some confusion based on the difference between both the scientific definition and the laymen term used by the public.
Climate does not change during seasons, because climate is the weather average over 30 years. Global warming is defined by the change if the global temperature. While weather is specfic to you region. For example the US had a cold and snow rich winter and we in Europe had a lot if rain and no snow. So in our region it was exceptionally warm weather while you had snow rich weather.
Economic rules are not the same as physical laws. Physical laws exist regardless you believe in them. Economic rules are human rules. They can be changed. For example you can lower taxes for the rich or deprive people of healthcare. You can even make up rules to limit the ability what you can dobwithnyour money. And even money itself is just a number or a piece if paper. Its value is based in an agreement. Look I have billions of Reichsmark in my attic. Unfortunately, you cannot buy anything with it. You can also see the artificially of value of currency in context of bitcoin.
Data privacy is important in the EU including Germany. That implies that big companies can get in trouble when they mess with us which is a good thing. Unfortunately this protection stops when the car industry poisons the atmosphere.
True, but it has its base in Germany. So it must cross German territory. Also it must cross other countries territory, and it if German aviation authorities does not allow to fly this thing, it has the same restrictions in other EU countries. Hence, we could move it to the coast of the North Sea and tug it into international waters and launch it from there.
Get a calendar. Germany has been a democracy for some time now and is embedded in NATO and EU. While other countries run in the direction of totalitarism e.g., discrediting media, talking about an illiberal democracy, calling foreigners and refugees to be dangerous, etc. All classic steps the fascists in Germany addressed in the past.
Well this new ship matches other German military acquisitions. Submarines which do not work, marine helicopter which cannot fly over sea (not allowed as they rust and might crash), impercise guns, non working transport planes, drones which are not legal to fly over Germany. In short the only thing that works are tanks, which we sell to the Turkish to murder civilians in Syria.
Modern Germany never won a war. The second German Reich won the German-French war. WW2 was lost due to bad tactics, a bad strategy and the inability to understand that you are not ten times more efficient than others in fighting and production of weapons. In short believing in the superiority of one's group does not make it superior. However, this inability helped to get rid of the fascists then. Maybe that helps for other fascists in future.
The discussion about the addictive and manipulative effects of social media has started long before Clinton considered (officially) becoming president. The topic was hot in 2014 (if I recall correctly) and may have been before that.
If you replace your machines every 5 years, there will be zero growth in sales, as you are just replacing each machine with a new one for most likely a similar price. Growth would be if you would buy more machines every 5 years. For example, if you buy 10 computers this year and then 11 computers in five years then you have an increase in sales of 10%. A saturated market is not dead. For that global sales would need to retract every year (which is not the case). It is going sideways. In an growth oriented economy this is bad for the economy, as manufacturers will still increase efficiency and need therefore less employees to produce these PCs. Actually, this is the path for every product until it becomes obsolete through some innovation. For example, notebooks reduced the need to desktop PCs so desktop sales made a dive in the past, but there are still scenarios where they make sense. So they are still in production.

I guess that refers to US ships of the same category which do not work either.
If you check Google scholar the first research in that area is from 2010. So this started with Obama.

Also if you can program in JS you are most likely capable to use the React framework in a day.
Vote this up for being the most offtopic post of the day.
They did it in Munich. They move their headquarters there. And then politicians were very thankful and killed the LiMux project.
