Under EU law, digital platforms have to pay for news reuse. But how much should Google pay for article previews? That’s what Google is trying to find out with an experiment in nine EU countries.

It's not always the case, but it was during this election season. This season was dominated with single-issue voters, and all of those issues were national not local.

USA | Iranian man charged over alleged plot to kill Donald Trump in c/globalnews
[–] BrikoX 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He did in 2019, but had no issue with assassination in 2020. I was mostly mocking him in my comment as he ran as anti-war candidate, but that's literally the opposite of what he said he will do and what he did in the past.

War with Iran will mostly come down to Trump unlimited support to Israel. He already moved US embassy during his first term after Adelson's gave him a lot of money, and now he got another 100 millions for allowing them to annex Gaza and West Bank. And unlike idiots in the US, Israel will take full opportunity to expand their territory during his term, which will inevitably lead to war with Iran.

That's what you get when you hire old Biden strategists to your campaign. Those morons wouldn't know how to win a campaign with a step-by-step guide in front of them. They just love to be losers.

Do we need a European DARPA to cope with technological challenges in Europe? in c/[email protected]

EU has Horizon Europe a research and innovation program. And some smaller ones. https://research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/funding/funding-opportunities/funding-programmes-and-open-calls_en

EU also building the world's biggest ground laser telescope in cooperation. https://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/paranal-observatory/vlt/

The issue with EU is that there are so many countries involved that getting everyone on the same page is slow process and with changing local governments projects can be easily abandoned as priorities shift.
