It's true, all those people that disagree with what you have been told are Russian bots. You can sleep soundly again.

The US found VW breaking US and EU laws. The EU has found [tech cos] supposedly breaking EU laws only and keep inventing nonsense to try and force their ideals on the rest of the world. It's boring, hence the (minor) sanctions on these

Thanks for digging that up. And yet many persist in their delusions of EU infallibility.

You are deliberately missing the point. The EU would have continued to conveniently ignore VW diesel emissions had the US, a competing power, not pointed them out. > Instead the EU levied their own fines against VW including a €875 milli

It was only this mechanism that caused the VW diesel scandal to be discovered. Competition is necessary to keep these people remotely honest. Edit: This comment has been flagged.

The entire problem is they aren't nearly as "very competitive" as would be politically convenient.

My experience is in the US they are no less talented, there is just a much wider abandonment of doing anything which isn't going to generate money, along with being disparaging towards anyone that does pursue things as an amateur. i.e.

You're doing all of it right there. You, a European, want to tell the US public how their resources are to be used, and when they don't agree with you then you act morally superior about it.

by fidotron 11mo ago
The Europeans want it both ways: they want the US to pay for and be responsible for policing the world, but to do it the way the Europeans want with them free to criticize the US and act morally superior the whole time. This act has become

I recall Yellow Dog, probably because of the PS3. The big thing most people from outside the Acorn era of Arm are missing here is the Risc PC never had decent floating point support. For pure integer stuff the StrongArm upgrade was, at lauc

Risc PCs were obscure machines, even then and compared to the original Archimedes (which itself was an oddity), so lacking support isn't surprising. A 710 model not upgraded to a StrongArm would have come from well outside the enthusia

They deliberately ignored an internal tool that started erroring out at the given deployment and rolled it out anyway without further investigation. That's not deserving of sympathy.
