I don't think people would be ok with that at all. It would be a drastic overarching policy and not something any democratic EU member state aims to achieve. Just because Europeans subscribe to a different notion of freedom of speech t

I can participate in global reddit just fine so I'm not sure what you mean by that. Maybe the NetzDG which is a German law that requires some unconstitutional comments (after being reported) to be hidden in Germany? This was and is hig

I assume the people who actually financed most of the deal want some ROI. But if they are also motivated by something different it could happen.

You don't and if Twitter does the same they wouldn't have to check either. Probably everybody operating a website is in violation of a law somehwere around the globe. If you want to sell to European customers you will find that (d

If he wants to leave the European market he is free to do so, but unless he wants to provide Twitter without getting any revenue stream, closing physical offices is not enough. As long as he wants to sell ads here, Twitter must comply with

Well if they want European money they better comply with the ruled as they are or lobby a government to get better ones. (If they are tiny they might fly under the radar but since FAANG and friends aren't charities that won't work

Some types corruption are worse than others. With the typical Western "overpay for a modern tank/gun/piece of equipment by a factor of 2" style you still get a modern tank/gun/piece of equipment in the end. Fro

The idea itself is sound and reasonable. If you let people built wherever you'll find yourself out of arable land in an instant. What seems overly complex and inefficient is the amount of permissions and the subpermissions. Even to my

One of the DMA (Digital Markets Act) or DSA (Digital Services Act) of the EU requires that. They both recently passed and will come into force in May 2023 (DMA) and January 1 2024 (DSA).

From a laymans point of view (aka knowing nothing about voxels), that sounds like a clever idea and I'm tempted to try this for my next gaming/visualization side project. Thanks for the inspiration

Jup. And every post is short, to the point and links it sources at the end. I find this really refreshing in contrast to the avalanche of SEO optimized "Let's start with the history of money in 6000 BC" spam. This respects bo

That remains to be seen. Laws and courts take their sweet time to venture into novel fields which is good when it comes to technology. I wouldn't be surprised if it'll end up classified as a derived work in the end with some sort

Unlikely. Most Twitter employees (like people everywhere) go there to earn a living and as long as employment conditions remain acceptable they'll sign whatever management ask them to. In particular if it's a meaningless broad sta

Can anyone link to some good introductory technical resources on how zkapps work and what their limitations are? I see the stated claims but my current understanding of crypto and smart contracts is insufficient to figure out the inner work

Do we know how successful their claim is. I've not followed that too much. It makes sense to go after hardware vebdors, because that is where the money is and shaking down open source software users is a lot of work and bad press.

Some yes, but most people are happily giving up everything they own to avoid pain and suffering of themselves or their loved one. This is nothing new and is proven throughout history. It's also perfectly understandable that you'll

They do solve the consensus problem but don't have the same constraints crypto does. The consensus (of who owns what and how did that happen) is whatever the banking says it is at the moment. This works because society places a lot of

Cryptocurrencies impose some complex constraints on themselves that require complex solutions. Conceptually banks and exchanges solved the consensus problem decades ago and they did it with a highly secured simple database and lots of cross

Based solely on my anecdotal data it seems like many comedies where I live are local (aka not from the US). Some of them do well others don't but they are certainly there. Is there a similar set of movies in the US (aimed at the nation

Flags are probably somewhat common and I'd say it's a part of US culture to dial these things up to 11. (This is not meant as a sentiment.)

This may not come as a surprise but Germany is neither doing flags, nor anthem singing or any kind of pledge. The day begins with "Good morning" - "Good morning Ms/Mr X". And being a secular country there is no pray

I think this is mostly a side effect in this case (though a welcome one for honest users). The government is still figuring out how to best tackle sanctions in crypto space and they just started doing it for real. L We will probably see som
