If they couldnt make the Taliban bend the knee or the NVA bend the knee, I dont think they'll be able to do it to Europe, do you?

Yes, that does seem to be the impression we're getting in Europe. The western alliance is dead, but the only people mourning it are in Europe.

I suspect that US has kill switches in place to ensure that their tech cant be used against them. Should they come up against F-35s they sold to another nation, it would make sense to have a mechanism, unknown to the purchaser, that would r

They face a nuclear armed, rogue military power,intent on invading and occupying other weaker nations. I think they need a stick to deter that particular nation from doing anything silly to them.

We havent seen or heard any great public outcry about what Trump is doing, we havent seen any reaction to his betrayal of Ukraine. The impression we get is that the US public just dont care. Domestic issues, primarily economic are whats mos

The stock prices of US defence companies have been falling for the last few weeks because of the cuts to the defence budget by Trump. Conversely the values of European defence companies have been shooting up. Primarily because of the re-arm

We've entered the era of the nightmare scenario. Under the current US regime, use of Trident cant be guarenteed. We would never have used them independantly before, but with the US abandoning the western alliance and Europe facing Russ

It takes a competitor to Openai off the market. Football teams in Europe would by up a good player not because they needed him, but just so that none of their rivals could buy him.

I'd say this is a top of the market indicator if ever there was one. $20billion for the services of one man......

Absolutely brilliant work. For an individual at high school to make something like this, it's an epic achievement. Gives hope to us all.

Saw the title and thought, nothing unusual in that really, then saw the domain was maths based, it's not Terrence Tao is it?! It was Terrence Tao. If one of the greats can get rejected then there's no shame in you getting rejected

I think I've bought all the classics I want from GOG already. Their biggest selling point is that you own the games you buy from them it's not a licence like steam.

The UK equivalent of the Japanese Combini isn't really the corner shop, it's the mini version of the supermarket chains, like Tesco express, or Sainsbury Local. The range of goods and quality is much bigger and the quality is as g

I'd argue that the war in Ukraine was caused by the State Department being weakend and not being able to effectively deal with Russian plans to invade. Yes the US economy has been phenomenally succesful over the last 8 years and thats

My greatest fear is for America. He undermined it's institutions last time and there's no telling how much he'll weaken it now. I suspect the DoJ will be first to get gutted and then education, health, science. NATO, WTO, UN.

Just seen the figures, it's ridiculously good. The gap over it's competition is staggering. I hope the Intel hubris doesn't set in at Amd, especially with the ARM pack snapping at their heels.

Trump is transactional. He'll do something for you if you don't something for him. Want an abortion law nationally? Give him corporate tax cuts. Want to fund Ukraine? Give him more deregulation. He's got no political principl

Economic growth isnt that easy. "Build stuff and we'll be richer". We've grown as fast as France and faster than Germany over the last 5 years, but im sure they've spent more than we have on infrastructure.

Public spending doesnt make countries or people rich. Its funded from taxes, which rely on economic growth, which we've had very little of since the 2008 reccession and banking meltdown.

The problem Britain has had in the last 30 years is that government was scared of offending Nimbys, so nothing got built. Not power infrastructure or homes. Even new airport runways. They're such a bunch of cowards.

Its a first class city with a second rate country attached to it. The problem is that outside of the London and the South East the rest of the country has a very begging bowl mentality. Its all about what government can give to them.
