<p>then it becomes a political issue between the EU and the US?<p>mind you, prior to this administration the EU was more then happy to help the US DOJ in such cases.<p>considering the stuff that happened in the past year or so, i doubt that would happen again.
Actually calling bluff on the US is the only way to play this properly,  because it gives the EU a mandate to strike back geopolitically if the US wants to retaliate for non-compliance by fastmail.</p>

<p>the alternative being hetzner giving away EU based information to the US? which would absolutely destroy their reputation in the EU. (which is a far larger market for them).<p>The only way to spin this as hetzner is to go public with this and make it a political point for geopolitics between the EU and the US, and take the loss /call the bluff on the US threat.</p>

<p>a combination of many things.<p>For one, Cities in the netherlands are already quite dense, and the dutch are focused on building family houses attachted to each other mostly (row housing).<p>Also, thanks to the massive agricultural sector and a lack of oversight on industry, the netherlands has a massive problem with nitrogen in its soil which prevents building because building stuff generates more nitrogen.<p>Speculation and the liberalisation of the housing market has also massively contributed to price increases.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_crisis_in_the_Netherlands" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_crisis_in_the_Netherl...</a></p>

<p>also, in my experience high grades are rare in the netherlands at all education levels.
I did both mbo and hbo levels, and on both levels getting a "A" (10/10 or 9/10) was a very uncommon thing.</p>

<p>this is still kind of possible, by doing neighbour discovery and querying the host for its hostname with mdns.<p>In my opinion, this automatic mapping of DNS names to addresess is not part of the IP protocol, and shouldn't be.</p>

<p>SLAAC is probably one of the better improvements of IPV6.
DHCP breaks down at scale. Managing many DHCP prefixes becomes a massibe pain, SLAAC is far more scalable, far more easy to make redundant if you have redundant gateway's and protocol wise is really simple.</p>

<p>arp simply breaks down in very large networks aswell.<p>Think about things like the following:
you are a datacenter and are providing connectivity to the internet for your customers. Each customer get a vlan with a specific ip prefix attached to it. You prove the gateway for each customers subnet.<p>ARP crosses the L2 vs L3 boundary to do succesful address resolution. The problem this creates in large (mainly datacenter) networks is that a router needs to do arp resolution for for a LOT of networks. (i am talking about 100's of networks in past, many thousands with something like an EVPN vxlan).<p>Why is this a problem? Layer 2 lookups are usually done in the forwarding plane, and ARP resolution is usually a routing engine task. Doing it this way is very expensive compared to the IPV6 way of doing things. (multicast based address resolution).<p>The router only needs to send out one multicast packet per vlan, instead of doing arp resolution for each specific host in the vlan.<p>In modern datacenters this is "fixed" by doing arp suppression, which is a whole other level of hackary added on top of it.</p>

<p>also, the knowledge about how a nuclear bomb works wasn't a secret. The way to produce one was the hard part to figure out.
Without the espionage, a industrialised country like the USSR would have figured out how to produce an atomic bomb eventually.</p>

<p>> can't decide how to tackle illegal mass migration<p>the mass migration caused by american wars in the middle east you mean?
Also, frontex seems to be working fine so far.<p>>on a single direction on defeating Russia<p>unlike the US, which has stopped all military aid to ukraine in 2025, and seems to be favouring russia more and more.<p>Lets not forget, europe is increasing its military en masse mainly because on one hand you have the russian flattening ukraine, and on other hand you have the US demanding greenland.<p>Who needs further enemies with friends like this?</p>

<p>what are you on about?
this idea of a referendum is a straw man. Member states joined the EU through mechanisms of their state. (Acts of parlements, referendum or something else).<p>Also, the votes you are described are all about the implementation of certain ideas/legislation inside the context of the EU, not about the organisation itself?</p>

<p>it is also a very easy pathway to create controlled opposition.
When you are a totalitarian dictator without elections, opposition of any kind is hard to control. With faux elections you give people a "choice" which seems reasonable compared the usual extremes in an totalitarian state.</p>
