That is indeed how University learning used to work, for about 1000 years

Far right? It's run by a literal marxist communist.

Why not make personal responsibility illegal whilst we are at it. It is egregious that an individual can be held accountable for their own behaviours.

So you don't want to answer the question?

How is Greenland a vital interest to France? Especially in the context of initiating a nuclear war with a friendly nation?

So your supposition is strategic national defense game theory should be based on hoping for a mutiny from the opposite side? Is rationality dead? What are you lot talking about.

You have ignored any questions put to you in this thread. You are speaking in some kind of fervour I can't decrypt.

You think there's a game theory scenario in the book where France launches a nuclear weapon at mainland USA over a land dispute between them and Denmark?

I'm sorry but you are not interacting with the rational suppositions of posters in various threads here. No one is arguing for a war except you. People are explaining to you the strategic reality and you are espousing rhetoric that I honestly can't decipher.

1. Denmark cannot win militarily

2. You are suggesting Denmark would not capitulate and indeed enter into a state of war

What do you think happens in this situation?

This is absurd in the extreme. In actual war there is absolutely no possibility of success for Denmark, even with the help of allies. Failure to capitulate results in nothing but death and destruction with no hope of strategic gain to begin with. What you are likely experiencing is a modern belief that screaming and shouting will bring popular diplomatic pressure to bear on the opponent, thus arresting their actions.

There was similar tough talk in 1940 and Denmark lasted 6 hours. Without capitulation the country would have been razed. But surrender saw it able to keep some level of control and thus extricate the Jewish population in relative safety which would not otherwise have been possible.

They sent a clarifying email today

> Our email yesterday was imprecise relative to our actual new Terms. To be specific:

> You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service (Zed’s AI-enabled software-as-a-service offering, including features like account creation/sign in, Zed Free and Zed Pro, and collaboration). See https://zed.dev/terms#21-eligibility. We set the threshold at 18 due to children's data privacy obligations under COPPA, equivalent international frameworks, and an increasing number of state and regional laws that extend protections to anyone under 18. Those regulations require parental consent verification, age-gated data handling, and separate retention policies for minors. Building and maintaining that infrastructure is a real cost for a small team, and getting it wrong carries regulatory risk. Setting the line at 18 lets us maintain a single privacy framework for all account holders without carve-outs.

A simple single page indicative UK tax calculator with some novel metrics and calculations. Accepts other forms of income to give a more complete overview. Rationale: I disliked most of the existing ones and they are full of adverts and such. Should handle the complexities around income bands and child benefit tax traps. Also handles Scottish tax bands and shows Cost To Employer incorporating employment taxes.

That's not what the parent comment posits.

So if I write a piece of software that does the job I designed it for, and you decide you want it to do something else, you should be handed the source code and right to redistribute it? Simple like that?

I researched that before and I think it's considered generally safe. Toxicity required huge doses.

Though the instructions recommend ventilating the room a little after letting it settle, and I don't use it every night. Also I like to cover pillows before spraying.

It's very similar to the WHO recommended stuff used before and during flights - https://www.inchem.org/documents/ehc/ehc/ehc243.pdf

For rooms with closed windows this stuff has in my experience a 100% success rate. (they always manage to get in somehow). Spray the room an hour before bedtime and it eradicates them. Guess it's similar to that stuff they spray on airlines.

It is not a repellent but seems to actively kill them/render them unable to fly [Metofluthrin (Pyrethroid)]

I think you are quite accurate in everything you say.

I worked on an FX LP desk for nearly a decade. A happy place to be in times of turmoil. The more turmoil, the wider the spread, the more money we made. The mini gilt crisis made millions for my mates in fixed income. Confidence collapse is brilliant when you know others don't understand the markets. You sense the fantasy
