Note that ebikes in the EU are limited to 25 km/h and 250 W. Thus there is little difference in practice with regular bikes ... except when climbing hills.

Demanding fairness and reciprocity is not wrong. It's a basic moral position. Furthermore, imposing restriction on totalitarian regimes is perfectly legitimate as well. Letting them do as they please as you argue is, in fact, the moral

It can be of use in anything that handles a lot of data throughput but not built in large enough numbers to justify producing an ASIC. First example that comes to mind is an oscilloscope, but by definition FPGAs can be used anywhere (from r

This argument is already refuted by the article; building is currently less expensive (often by more than half!) in Western/Northern Europe (excluding UK/Ireland) than in the US, and you can certainly be sure that air quality, lab

That's precisely why I never bothered with crypto. I figured even back in the days of early Bitcoin I would at the very least need a dedicated device like a mostly air-gapped laptop running my own wallet software to do transactions. St

Atrocities committed by Japan in China were very much a concern in the US (and even in Germany for that matter!) already before the war, and were incontrovertibly the reason for the US foreign policy towards Japan then, and thus arguably a

Legal ebikes in the EU stop their electrical motor at 25 km/h. You can go faster, but only as much as you would with a regular bike, ie by pedaling. Therefore ebikes are not the problem as such, illegal vehicles are the problem.

If the contract mandated it, then the manufacturer could simply have filed a lawsuit. The fact that they didn't and did something in secret instead shows otherwise.

200 years is plenty of time to deploy fast neutron reactors. Hell we had a large non-experimental one in France until it was killed by ecoterrorists.
