There’s a good chance the limitless autobahn is actually part of what makes German numbers so good

There's a chance, but I don't think you argued why would it be a good chance.

It just requires stricter training and policing, stricter TÜV and for people to always check their mirrors before switching lanes.

Changing lanes and overtaking are always some of the most risky moments. It's always going to be much much safer if everybody drives the same speed vs. if you have to dodge because people are going 250 km/h for lulz. If you have the stricter training and policing, you still can improve safety by introducing speed limits.

There's always assholes and they are always making it do bad things, so the distinction isn't even there. If you don't plan for assholes using the tool to try and do bad things, you're making bad technology

yes, sure, but resources, labour and a market isn't enough to elevate you to a global superpower. I'm not proposing EU going full Juche, just why would anyone agree to anything better for russia than being equal trade partners. All those things are great and useful, sure, but you're able to get them elsewhere. If you want special treatment you need to bring something unique to the table. Like the US used to be able to bring.

Futile attempts to destroy it, won’t work

I don't think anybody except maybe putin is trying to do that. At this point everyone would love russia just fucking off and being normal.

Europe seems to need a moment to let go, but if US isn’t forcing them into it, the rest of the world has already been open to Russia and China

I mean, what would Europe need from russia? We're currently more of a "global power" then they are. Only countries seriously aligning themselves with Russia those days are either extremely weak and near russia and so have 0 choice in the matter or try to play both sides for fun and profit LARPing as Tito.

Self-coup would suggest someone is in control and actually wants what's happening. That'd be nice.

oh yes, the small policing action known as The Cold War that almost ended the human civilization

judging by project 2025 they can stop their own agenda by not being able to agree what it is.

But it has been changed a lot?

The most basic immediate execution four operation calculator might still look the same, but that's because it's a very simple thing and you can't really get much wrong. For scientific calculators the UI has changed lots. As have the requirements. It used to be a specialist tool used to do thousands of calculations daily. An expensive thing that had to earn its keep. RPN and stuff like that made sense for people who could easily get back weeks of training in just a few years of being slightly more efficient while working. Now we have the natural order delayed execution thing, because the calculators are mostly for students. Who need the UI to be as easy to grasp as possible, because they won't ever have to do enough calculations to benefit from a faster but harder UI. That doesn't mean any of those approaches to UI is better or worse. Some things require instructions and making everything idiot-proof shouldn't ever be the ultimate goal (check out modern computing for why!).

"Such restrictions would negatively impact revenue [...] industry group warns"

Someone seriously thought "oh noes my moneys sobs" counts as a warning and put that to paper.

It's funny, because sponsorblock and vanced only exist because of youtube's greed. And now I can't imagine using their service without them, even if they rollback the annoying ads. And they can't implement them. It's really the problem they made for themselves.

like others have pointed out, this makes automatic detection easier not harder if true. Just cut the segments that move around, audio analysis and even transcripts (they don't have to be good! just good enough to identify missing segment!) are pretty mature.

It's somewhat based in reality, isn't it? I'm still gaming in my late 30s and most people I get to play with are on average 10-15 years younger than me. People leave the hobby with time, en masse, and almost no one my age seems to be joining. There are some games that let you ignore that more (single player, matchmaking. Although even in single player, what's the point of gaming, if you don't get to discuss it with most of your friends), but some are really difficult to continue playing (coop :().

so, a box I keep my bike in? :D
