The European Commission allegedly transferred data to Amazon servers in the U.S. two years after it outlawed that exact practice. Who will regulate the regulators?
Quis regulabit regulas? Or something like that. It's been decades since my Latin classes.

Hardly surprising. No different than COVID rule makers.

Carbon, the latest programming language to be built within Google, was unveiled today as an experimental successor to C++. “You come at the king, you best not miss”
Likely soon to join many on the waste pile of “C++ killers”
|

Quote: As for why a C++ developer may want to consider introducing Carbon to their codebase, Carruth shared quite a few highlights of the language on stage.
...
Single inheritance; classes are final by default Before I roll my eyes and agree with the 'another one on the waste pile,' anyone care to say why this would make anyone want to leave C++? It just makes me think it is designed as a kid's toy, not a powerful programming tool.

I can live without multiple inheritance. Classes being final by default sounds like they're obsessed with SOLID: classes should be closed for modification but open for extension. That's a platitude because it can be hard to foresee what new capabilities will be useful to derived classes.

As this language matures, say into Diamond, future solutions may written in Diamonds and Rust.

If you consider David some sort of "hero", I definitely think that you should trust what you have heard from your Sunday School teacher, and NOT start reading about him in The Book of Books.
You might come across, say, that story about when he slaughtered two hundred soldiers so he could cut certain pieces off their dead bodies to use as payment for his (first) bride. Maybe you think the nature of his relationship with Jonathan is OK - I don't care, but lots of people do. Maybe you think it is OK to rob another man's young wife and order her husband to go to war and get killed so he won't make any fuss. Some people may even have objections to a grown man throwing all his clothes and dance stark naked in front of the servant girls of his men.
David adorers are probably better off trusting their Sunday School teacher.

David was, like all Old Testament figures, flawed. This does not detract from his very real accomplishments as a ruler, as a military commander, and as a psalmist.
As for the points you raise:
- David slaughtered 200 Philistine soldiers (who were enemies of the Kingdom of Israel) in order to get his bride price. This was King Saul's attempt to dispose of David, as he didn't want David's blood on his hands. (I Samuel 18,6-30)
- I grant you that David and Jonathan's relationship can be read as you imply. It can also be read as an extremely close friendship, where David and Jonathan were closer than many brothers. Certainly David's biological brothers were nothing much to write home about.
- As the commentators point out, formally, each of David's acts re Uriah and Bat-Sheba were legitimate. Ethically, they stank to high Heaven, the prophet Nathan reproved him for them, and David was punished for them by God. I suggest that you read the rest of the story (II Samuel 11 - 12,25), and Psalm 51.
- The Old Testament records that David was dancing with all his strength before the Ark of the Lord. His wife Michal (Saul's daughter) reproved him for his lack of dignity, not for exposing himself. I also suggest that you read David's reply (II Samuel 6,14-23)
If you intend to quote the Old Testament, please do it the courtesy of fully quoting in context.

I didn't say nothing about good and evil. Only about small and giant.
I don't care if the small Meta is good or bad, I just think Facebook-Meta and Zuckerberg should more often be liable for what they do. And just a brand name / copyright issue is for me as good as all the other faults they have never been accounted for.
