You pay money to Palantir that money essentially escapes the economy, you develop a sovereign solution yes you pay millions even more but that goes into corporations and people actually living in the country, paying taxes and spending their coins here.
I remember my father built its own personal accounting tool using dbase, I think it was MSDOS at the time, I was a kid. Quite the achievement I think, he was not a software engineer, just hobbyist.
Pair programming is basically continuous code review. You don't take the same path until you discuss and challenge the ideas first. I could argue that code reviews are also lazily done, yes pair programming can be difficult but god reviewing massive PRs, how many times does the attention drops, how many times is it done seriously?

I'm not scared about AI recommending nuclear strikes, I'm scared about the human behind the keyboard delegating reasoning and responsability to something they think is always correct, something that can hide bias and flaws better than anything.
One similarity is, if I'm correct, Russia claimed that the naval base of Sevastopol was vital for Russian security.
The protection of the population and the illegitimacy of the current government was an argument developed by Russia at the time, it has not been yet by USA but I suspect this might start develop in the next few weeks.
The common ingredients to justify an invasion/annexation is a mix of:
- Self-Defense, security
- Historical, Geographical claims
- Protection of the population
- Moral sugar coating (we had no choice)
That does not make Germany look any better but I find the "percentage on time" not very useful compared to the "years of delay" metric. And arguable a average/median delay per train would be better? Also some delay volatility data would be interesting.
If you look at France for example, 80% of trains are not punctual but the "total delays" is actually on the low range, France being on the large side with lots of lines, I would say that it shows that the delays (20% of the time) are actual shorts.
Law is always subject to interpretation and as imperfect as it sounds it is better than no law at all. And I'm not talking about hate speech specifically. Using this as a tool to silence opposition is possible and made easy in countries that do not value and nurture independence of institutions and have rampant corruption, often countries with authoritarian leadership.
UK is not exempt of criticism, it would be unhealthy not to, but comparing Russia/Putin with UK/Starmer makes it evident that you are more concerned by pushing a political agenda that by facts and reason.
No there is a thing call the law, those are passed by elected people and applied by a judicial system that is not the executive branch. Hope that helps.
As a tech person the older I get the less tech interests me.
Analogical is where I get the fun from, no more smart watch, smart tv, spotify, connected home things, automatic coffee machine, no thank you.
