Yes, but in England a semi is half of a pair of houses with a party wall.
I've seen lots of semis on the roads in the UK, this sort being half of a temporary building on the back of a lorry, commonly called a PortaKabin but that's a trademark. When I say "lorry" I mean haulage vehicle, not a parrot, of course. 'Tain't what you say, it's how you say it. That's 'taint as in "it is not", not taint as in spoil.

English, possibly the most ambiguous language in the world, and hence ideal for legislation.

If you have children or grandchildren, you need to set them down and explain to them what cryptocurrency is and how to spot scams involving it. 'Cos statistics show they're much more likely to fall for snake oil than us suspicious old farts. Heck, I still use paper money.

To quote Google's AI summary: "Yes, generally, more younger people (ages 16-34) fall for scams than older individuals (55 and over). Studies indicate that a significant percentage of younger adults have been scammed, especially in the realm of purchase scams. For example, in the Spring/Summer of 2024, 86% of individuals who lost money to purchase scams were under 55. ". (Assuming that's not me infringing copyright at some level or another.)

Presumably the people complaining are quite happy to use AI to answer questions based on scientific or factual information - without any payment to the researchers, explorers and thinkers who found the answers.

The colours are real, and usually vibrant. The colours' origins might be a petrochemical-based, or something else. Arguably the only way to use "natural" colour is to, err, not use colour.

It's not clear what they mean by "fast". A fast programming language is, I would guess, one that lets you write a program quickly, so that tends to mean terse syntax, powerful features and a rich library of useful functions. Python fits that list, though I don't use it or like it myself. Alternatively, given the rest of the article, a "fast" language lets you write high-performance programs, and that's mostly down to code generation and optimization, which are far more controlled by compilers than the language, and/or libraries of high-performance code (such as NumPy, the library that makes many Python programs perform acceptably).
There's a third definition - a "fast" language is one that's quick to learn, which sadly marks Rust down...

I'd guess less than 1% of the general public have the slightest interest in any economic database. I count myself in the 99%.

"Is Europe Better Prepared to Protect Undersea Internet Cables?" is an ill-formed question, as it's a comparison with no comparand.
Are we supposed to compare Europe with Alaska, armour plating, praying to the gods of wiring, or the past (which seems to be the intent)?

... is due to greenhouses?

I remember flying over Spain once and thinking "that's a strange looking lake", before realizing I was looking at a field of polytunnel greenhouses stretching as far as I could see (from a jet plane).

Greenhouses are, duh, designed to retain heat. It doesn't turn into food or compost, so how many Calories or KWh does an acre of greenhouse capture?

As any reader of Terry Pratchett knows, all laboratories need an Igor.

While I don't understand the result, presumably the majority of Americans voting for Trump means they believe he will do a better job than Harris. Maybe they know more about this than a bunch of European liberal elites passing comment.

Politicians and lawyers find it easy to hold others to standards they themselves can never approach. Software always contains bugs - good software has very few, but they're still there. Given that a program almost never runs in isolation, how will the courts decide which bit (user, application, libraries, kernel, compiler, hardware) is responsible. Nah, they'll go for joint liability as that way they can claim the maximum damages from everybody's pockets.
If this goes through, I guess all open source software will have to be cancelled.

One trouble with changing things frequently is that we;ll automate the updates, and guess what: we've just increased the attack surface, both software and process.

Remember, 98% of people are abnormal in some way...
