Enforcement may be tricky.

Well, if you believe we're headed into The Singularity, then a time delay might be all you need. Certainly it's all you should expect to get.

It's a bit more than that. They're innovating in 3d chips. If they can't get ultimate density one way, they're picking another. So when they *do* get EUV...well...

That said, I don't know how they're handling heat, so perhaps they can't blend the two.

The details are clickbait, and the take questionable, but there is enough truth in it. From my perspective (I'm Germany, but I currently live elsewhere, but still follow German politics closely):

One, there is a considerable crisis in the German manufacturing industry. And the current government has pushed through (with questionable methods) and insane military spending bill while at the same time complaining everywhere else that there is no money and they need to cut this and that and everything else.

Two, there is a strong US influence in european politics, and especially in Germany. A long list of recent and current high-ranking German politicians has direct connections to US think tanks or corporations, and an even larger number found employ with these or US universities, etc. after they were voted out. One would have to be incredibly naive to think that they're hired for their competence or out of charity.

This is not the only case and there HAVE been police raids and quite a bit of police overreach, all in the name of a law specifically made to protect politicians. There have been several HUNDRED cases brought by politiciians against ordinary people for things they posted online.

You can discuss individual cases, but that doesn't change the pattern.

And, btw., this is not a right- oder left-wing topic. The dude in question here is a right-wing politician (the CDU being Germany's equivalent to the Republicans). Not the most right-extremist-wing, but clearly right-wing, pro-corporation, fuck-the-working-class right-wing.

Timeline hopper here, just through the gate from funny laugh lady land. Believe it or not in that line Musk is still the richest man ever over there - richer even - but he's a woke social librul because he knows which side of his bread has butter on it.

Notably, President Harris also prefers rockets that will launch to rockets that will not for some reason.

But don't eat the fish. Just in case.

>[T]he oligopoly seems to be facing the first credible challenge to its capacity discipline...

What an interesting way to describe that. A disciplined way, you might say.

Wait, uneducated people can't get high now? Things sure have changed since I was young. Back then, it was mostly the uneducated kids getting high. :-)

That's why it needs to be a site run by a union of publishing companies, with individual sub-sites for each of the members. This probably couldn't work for news, but most publishing is more durable. Think of it as a cross between Google and Amazon, except the corporation would not be run for profit of the corporation, but for profit of the participating companies.

I think a better answer would be for a (publishing) industry group to put up it's own site. Block Google from every page except the entry. The purpose of the site needs to be to link to the publications of the members of the group, and to act as a filter so that those not desired can be refused access.

robots.txt was a great idea as long as nearly everyone was polite and paid attention to it, but now there appears to be the need of an enforcement mechanism, probably with graded access permissions.

Some famous Frenchman once said: Give me ten lines, written by the most innocent man, and I'll find something in them to hang him for.

Once the government becomes oppressive, there is no such thing as non-problematic data.

Corporations never, ever (pinky-swear) destroy evidence. What they do is destroy data before it BECOMES evidence. That's the whole trick. It's what they try to argue here: As soon as they asked, destroying the data they had asked to see became illegal. I sincerely hope this gets thrown out.

Can we please pressure Apple and Google into making duress passwords a standard feature on all OSs?

We need this to become common.

Perhaps, and perhaps not. But clearly laws cause crime.

Be aware that airplanes bound for Canada occasionally land at US airports before arriving at their destination. This has in the past occasionally lead to problems.
