It doesn’t matter that much for Broadcom customers. Apple isn't going to sell their chips to anyone else. It's the same situation with CPUs where Apple has a core that's as good or even better than the best x86 CPU. Neither Intel nor AMD are particularly worried because they don't really compete against Apple directly and Apple won't sell those chips to anyone else of the companies who buy CPUs from AMD/Intel.

The only people who see any benefit are Apple customers, but If place this into the category of nice to have, but not the kind of thing I'd expect to notice. No one is particularly threatened by Apple's chip being better because Apple doesn't sell chips, they sell iDevices.

Advertising will get there first. There's more incentive and a better feedback mechanism. Movies will hold out for a while, but television is already overrun with programs that are just dressed up advertisements that it won't take long for it to be consumed.

"Joe Sixpack" might be a nuclear engineer, brain surgeon, or astronaut - i.e. much smarter than you or your typical code monkey - who just doesn't care about the details of the OS, and just wants a simple solution to his annoyance.

Insulting them and thinking because you know how cookies work and they don't makes them an object of derision is why IT and computer people are held in such low esteem.

    Grow up, script kiddie.

Nice conjuring. First you pull "hundreds-not-dozens" of fake successes out of your hat then you wave a wand and accuse libertarians of ignoring "conflicting data" which you also fail to produce, but hey, let's all believe "Plugh" is a smarter and better informed guy than Milton... suuuure!

The EU’s escalating war on internet freedom and American tech companies is not about “protecting consumers” or “preserving democracy.” It is a textbook case of centralized power reasserting control over the greatest engine of voluntary exchange and uncoerced speech in human history: the open internet.

The EU’s flagship weapons: the Digital Services Act (DSA), Digital Markets Act (DMA), GDPR, and the emerging AI Act, function as modern mercantilism dressed in progressive rhetoric. They impose sweeping prior restraints on speech (“illegal content” and “disinformation” defined by unelected bureaucrats), mandate interoperability and data-sharing that expropriate private intellectual property, and levy punitive fines (up to 6-20% of global turnover) that only entrenched European champions like Deutsche Telekom or Orange can hope to influence through lobbying. Smaller innovators and American platforms that refuse to build EU-specific censorship infrastructures are simply gated out.

Brussels resents that the internet’s infrastructure, protocols, and dominant platforms emerged from American libertarian soil; rooted in end-to-end principles, permissionless innovation, and First Amendment culture, rather than from continental traditions of étatisme and "licensed speech". When Meta, Google, or X push back against demands to pre-screen political content or surrender encryption keys, EU regulators do not negotiate as equals; they threaten existential penalties, knowing most companies will kneel to protect European revenue.

The EU is hostile because a truly free internet is inherently anti-hierarchical and anti-border. It routes around sovereigns the way markets route around central planners. To Brussels, that is an existential threat that must be regulated, fragmented, and ultimately re-sovereignized under the banner of “European digital sovereignty” :a euphemism for cartelizing information under state-supervised oligopolies. Internet freedom and American tech dominance are merely the most visible casualties.

Indeed.

All these mayors and governors telling their local law enforcement (you know actual men with guns) to thwart the efforts of federal law enforcement, is a hell of lot closer to 'insurrection' than J6, CHAZ and a lot of those BLM protest looked a lot more like the Whiskey rebellion(s) or Shay's than J6, and we know how those were handled.

The GP should look in mirror and be careful what s/he wishes for..

I do consider taxation theft, there is no purpose to it except for controlling the population. The fact that people accept different *levels* of theft depending on how much money they make just proves how much of theft it is, because they more money someone makes, the fewer people there are in that category of people, given that, it is easier to structure theft in such a way as to convince the majority that they don't suffer as much as the other people, who are hit with a much bigger crime.

Don't forget either the antivax movement cross cuts political lines. RFK was a Democrat until about a year ago...

Some of the deepest bluest granola munching corners of the country and major clusters of antivaxers.

But sure MAGA is the problem...

Looks like they modded you down so you got your answer. Yet more proof that Rust is more a cult now than a favoured dev language.

Thats an explanation, not an excuse. There should have been a limit check, end of. Probably written by some clueless kid just out of college because any semi competant dev would have put that check in.

"It did not guarantee that she could be resuscitated"

Once you die from cancer the secondaries have usually spread everywhere so until a seriously good cure for fatal cancers has been found then there's no point reviving her. Given his health I suspect he'll be long dead before that technology comes to pass.

If the heart has stopped how do you get the anti-freeze distributed throughout the body? Do they put the person on an artificial heart for a time?

I am curious is if there is really anything to this; or if these cryo firms are just sure, "we'll take your money and freeze your loved ones corpse, and who knows maybe the future will have nearly magic nano bots that can fix the mess we are making anything is possible right?"

Maybe a Chinese takeover of the UK before full Islamicisation wouldn't be so bad?

... Wenlian is a bit of a cold fish (badum ching!).

Because obviously having a numeric password for Windows login which has far less entropy than an alphanumeric + punctuation one will obviously improve security wont it?
