Can't the US govt buy back any land they want for infrastructure? I mean forcibly buy back.

So basically it's the same as here, the supreme court (which is appointed, not elected) has power over elected officials?

(Because they can decide what is constitutional or not)

Edit: I have more questions but for some reason I can't reply to your replies :(

Where I'm from, our "supreme court" can overthrow congress legislation for not following the constitution. Is this the case here AND is this the case in the US (generally speaking)?

Is this open as in "OpenAI" or what are we doing here?

Of course there's an impact, but the question is "what is impacting us more?"

The energy sector is heavily subsidized by governments because it's important. "Market reality" doesn't work here.

Kind of. According to polls there are 52% of Americans supporting this. In the EU we have elections this weekend so there's no reason to come up with polls, just follow the results!

This is a great argument and perhaps the best argument to support the idea of going back to coal. I don't know how to answer this because I'm not an economist, but I'd suggest subsidizing such people from taxation until we reach a green energy goal. Sadly though, politicians don't address this at all.

The thing about money is that energy is a critical sector of the economy of each region, so governments push a lot of public funding towards it. That's why I'm bringing up politics here, otherwise the free market would take care of the issue as always.

I'm not talking about what's happening now (even though there's plenty of criticism to be said about the programs that we run). I'm talking about a new wave of politicians that's coming up in both regions, and they want this to stop.

Please allow me to go political for a second: both US and EU have an insane amount of politicians who support backing down on green energy and going back to coal mining, oil drilling and the like. I hope that at least the people who are intelligent enough to see the progress of green energy won't support that through their votes. We can literally have "free" energy coming from this star around us but instead of using it we're coming up with excuses that keep us from progressing.

That's it

Generally speaking it doesn't cost me billions to fix a bug. Hence the question...

Why does it keep exploding? Don't they already have the knowledge and tech to achieve this?

Go to the Wikipedia pages of these events and click on "Talk" at the top or see the history of those pages. The amount of people fighting over this information war is mindblowing.

If anything, this makes me question the accuracy of historical events that happened before humanity had access to such tools.

I like it, good job! I would suggest working on how you name things, like "action" and "operation" are a bit confusing for me.

May I ask if it was worth layering on top of Symfony, instead of just using it directly? It looks like a lot of work was put into this.

No, just figure out how the AI ranks resumes and then reposition / rephrase existing skills & experience to match that.

I wanted to make myself a tool to automatically generate the best version of my resume depending on the job I'm applying for, so that I would always pass AI screening. What a waste of time that would've been when you can simply send commands to GPT directly in the resume!
