Just like the Chinese have been doing for ages now. I think users will cope and gradually move to other services. Some will use proxies just like the Chinese do, but in the long term - local services will prevail.

It is a good thing Russia cannot send SWAT teams to enforce their laws like some other country did to the MEGA upload guy and his New Zealand company.

Comment As usual, it is about money (Score 1) 121

There is a lot of drama in the world currently, but interest groups like Nvidia have their agendas. Paint a dramatic picture and money will pour in. As many people equate efficiency/shorter waiting times with quantity of money, it is what will be pushed for. And probably achieved.
Chip independence may be critical or not, it may take 20 years or 2, but that is not an issue. How much money will flow because of all of it is the issue here.
I know it sounds cynical but it is exactly what at least most of it is about. If not all.

Europe has one reason for the cancellation of such plants I do not find in this article: Russian supplies are cut and the era of cheap gas is gone.

The economy of gas plants is primarily the price o gas. The article does not even mention it :).

Also, state regulations are a big factor. If you put regulation burden onto gas and subsidy solar... Wow, look how the economy shifts!

I tried it with a simple "convert date to Unix timestamp" function for an embedded project I am working on. Spent hours debugging other code until I got a look at ChatGPT's one and found it simply does not work.
So, YMMV, and you have to double-check everything. To me, it does not look like something to debug another's code :).

You see, the biggest promoters of "climate science" are said "wealthy hypocrites". But, as recognized by people moderating this, I was being sarcastic there.

On a serious note... The climate is changing, so some problem (for humans defying nature by living in places we did not inhabit in earlier times) exists. But is CO2 our problem? Are humanity's actions a problem? Are we sure there? Isn't CO2 basic food for plants and aren't we seeing our planet greener and greener, so more oxygen is produced as we speak? What energies are we talking about here and do we, as species, generate enough of it to influence the climate system? What percent of Earth's biosphere are humans?

I think it is very easy to blow somebody's importance and then use it to get to other things, usually measurable by money value. Like "YOU are influencing all life on the planet!". No, I am not :).

Science was always about skepticism. And skepticism is forbidden when it comes to "climate debate".

Etc. Have a nice day!
