@swope @skry No, the rocket is a Falcon 9, but the whole point was that @pluralistic might start having alt-text in the pictures he posts.

So, how long has this to go on until the Danes close their straits to the passage of Chinese ships? By now the presumption of innocent passage is getting more naive by the day...

@quinn @rafi0t I think it is less a money than a manpower, equipment and logistics question. Putin needs all of that more desperately in Ukraine.

@quinn @rafi0t There is the centuries old Russian obsession with access to seas, preferably unfrozen ones. Losing Tartus must sting in similar ways as losing Port Arthur did.

@slothrop Without making the financial markets the arbiter of things, it is interesting to see that the financial markets seem to be taking this seriously. Unlike for example past Belgian government crises in which they could still borrow money at rates comparable to (back then) much more politically stable neighbours.

@pettter @dymaxion @cstross @graydon @dr2chase @isaackuo I don't think either party is fully adhering. I also do think there are glaring violation to them by Russia that are orders of magnitude worse than Ukraine's. Then there's also the Genocide Convention that is also clearly being violated by Russia and not by Ukraine. So this is a "Both sides are not equally bad" situation.

@dymaxion @cstross @graydon @dr2chase @isaackuo Not seeing Russia adhering to the Geneva Conventions very much now.

@aral @Mer__edith Sadly, the composition of that particular panel clearly had been clearly vetted to carefully avoid any contributions based in objective reality.

@aral @Mer__edith You should have been there during that hearing in the European Parliament where a Facebook lobbyist (and former German MEP for S+D) with a straight face argued that the GDPR should not be burdensome to SMEs like Facebook (which at the time had fewer than fifty employees in Ireland)...

@aral The other guy clearly is the better option, isn't it. And don't say third party, because that is not an option in first-past-the-post.

@neil Look, generations of gay tailors did their utmost to make the male physique as appealing as possible through the business suit. I think their work will all be for naught if we accept sloppily dressed lawyers as equals to smartly dressed ones...

@ilumium Amazingly enough we're three speakers in and several elephants in the room remain unmentioned:
* medical secrecy law as a body of law separate from data protection law
* data quality and semantics remaining an unsolved problem and tied closely to regulation of medical healthcare and not data protection lawThis panel appears to have swallowed the argument this is solely a data protection issue. It is not.

@peertube @RM_Transit @paige idiomatic nitpick: ‘building block’ would be a more accurate and positive term than ‘brick’.

@rysiek When a single person is in control of a large EV manufacturer, the largest launch provider as well as the first mega constellation of satellites that has dual use potential to be a global ELINT platform, yes, their childish outbursts must be covered.

@rysiek I think he's in for a world of pain from fellow Twitter shareholders.

@pettter As catchy as that phrase may be, it is widely understood as not only a call for a free Palestine, as well as a call for the erasure of Israel.
