It‘s only a problem if the system is not properly installed.
In countries with proper regulation and professional certification this is not an issue.

> Germany has 20x our population, France is not far off it. Neither has anything close to the job market per capita in the IT and Services sector that Ireland has.
If you say so. And yet those employees are payed less.
These jobs exist because Ireland gave US companies large tax breaks and because it is an English-speaking country. Otherwise they would perhaps been based in the UK before Brexit.
It's good that Ireland attracts business, but encouraging tax dodging is not the way and this particular judgement is an opportunity to acknowledge this.
That's primarily due to EU politics and support.
It is, however, economically nowhere even close to France or Germany, no matter how large you think the "tech job" market there is [0].
> If any one of our EU or the other non EU countries were really dissatisfied with Ireland, they have the right to withdraw at any time.
Who should withdraw from what?

So given the time value of money, Apple still has an unfair advantage?
In other words, there is the hedonistic treadmill and then there are human emotions and these are real for you, me and for a Nobel-laureate writer.
The fact is that an amoeba cell behaves in a certain way for all amoebas. It does not go around and behave like a stone or like a drop of olive oil or even like a cell of some random bacterium.
It has very clear and obvious functions and the mechanisms inside the cell are the reason it consistently shows amoeba behavior.
Oracle, IBM, Cisco and HP have all strong competitors and hardly a unique product.
I didn‘t say every single molecule in the cell acts predictably. I said that the cell „performs a task it should perform and does so using the same approach across all instances.“
That the „parts“ do not only perform a specific function is not really surprising, because the machine does not need to be comprehensible or understandable. I would expect single-purpose parts only if that helps the function or if it helps evolvability (in the sense of not creating dead ends).
But the videos are good, thank you.
One aspect of reality is that governments actually like to govern predictably and those with sufficient military power make sure they can.
Aristoteles should also have gotten a chicken plucked on the market square ...
Like a nuclear weapon?
If it is not your primary home, it may be correct, but not necessarily.
And only saving is not enough, because inflation can eat it all.
It is the same with cancer research. Not saying the world can‘t be better, but science cannot be done faster, probably.
Not really, because many disciplines are inherently applied. There is, for example, no such thing as "pure teaching", since teaching is always practical.
To me the lack of a practical purpose at the moment is the defining characteristic.
Here I am.
I think pure math is simply not applied math - so math that is not being done in direct service of a particular goal, such as working out insurance pricing or perhaps ML/AI etc.
So it's essentially about who pays you. Seems fairly clear to me.
Also, do you have a single example where there was a security vulnerability in the update mechanism of a car that resulted in an attack? Do you have a single example of a loss caused by an update (that would not also occur during offline servicing)?
