And how would that domestic competitor make money? Can't use ads, can't charge a subscription fee. What else? Where would this domestic competitor even get the content from? Steal it from YouTube/TikTok?

But they all suck on mobile! Using the internet on a phone is a terrible experience. Websites take forever to load, they randomly resize things, they add pointless headers and footers to the limited space, they move the focus around at ra

I think that had more to do with weight. As far as I can tell, there weren't any good options to transport heavy goods over land before trains. A barge on a canal will transport a lot more weight than carts and wagons pulled by animals

Unfortunately, it's not the first time the EU had tried something like this either. > According to the Data Retention Directive, EU member states had to store information on all citizens' telecommunications data (phone and inte

On the other hand, you could say that 435 is too few, because they represent a lot more voters these days than they used to. Can they represent them without being able to hear them out? In 1900 Congress had 357 representatives for a populat

Can you really call it a democratic institution when voter turnout is 20% for some countries? When the EU had some countries do a referendum and the result was something they didn't like, then they just had the people do another refere

Europeans might see their own governments as representation, but I don't think they view the EU as representing them. I've met a lot of people who think those guys in Brussels don't give a damn about us here, wherever that &q

Something to consider about these smaller countries is that they're a different culture with a different language. Non-native people stand out. It's a lot harder for people to spread misinformation online in a country like Estonia

Over Russia. From Norway to Svalbard to some island between Russia and Alaska. From there to Japan. It looks very goofy on a map but it's a lot shorter of a distance than expected.

There's political (and geographic?) trouble going from Europe to Asia. Your internet would have to go through countries like Russia and Iran. Or maybe Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and China. The shortest path from Eastern Europe to Japan

Does China set export controls on things that are basically consumer goods? Because today's A100 is going to be used for playing video games tomorrow.

And what would happen if Nvidia got banned? ROCm would take over. All the development resources would be going into that. That's probably what's going to happen in China.

> The move means that anywhere up to 7,800 jobs at the tech giant’s HR division could be cut, equivalent to around 30% of the overall workforce in the unit. These numbers are mindboggling to me. How does a company have 26,000 people ded

A better way of looking at it is that cats are stuck in a local maxima and can't get out. We know that it's a local maxima because humans exist. Ie cats could do better.
