If they enter the UK, then theoretically, maybe? But realistically: Good luck convincing a prosecutor to charge them. According to the court opinion[0]: It is for all these reasons that anything in the contractual documents between Jage

I think the Nexperia debacle is exactly why it's such a mild response. They bit off more than they could chew with that one. The Dutch (politicians and bureaucrats both) have been suitably chastened by the unexpected blowback.

You are right, it is a global coordination problem. There are two moves: Cooperate (i.e. reduce your CO2 emissions) or Defect (burn baby, burn). Obviously there are many global actors but we can model it simply as a two-player game: Europe

I wasn't aware of the Doheny project, thanks! But it seems that that project timeline is at least as long as the one CCC killed. With these kinds of timelines and that kind of regulatory risk, I don't think large-scale desalinatio

Unfortunately Ukraine is not a NATO member, despite the US's attempts to bring them into the alliance. You can thank France and Germany for that: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/nato-allies-reject-u-s-push-fo...

Oh, right. I forgot that European states have no agency or responsibility and are innocent victims of big bad America. Mea culpa. I wrote "Western" rather than "European" specifically because I believe American weakness

It's hardly administrative trivia; the thrust of this argument is widely cited as an example of European NATO states helping to defend the US in a time of need. But the article you cited is replete with examples of US ambivalence, if n

1. Obviously the Trump admin is requesting an increased military budget because of looming global conflict. We don't want to get caught with our pants down. Russia obviously bears the moral blame for starting this war, but Putin clearl

NATO came into being to deal with the USSR, which was the preeminent threat to all NATO members. The US wasn't expected just to come save Europe; European states had real military power and the will to bring it to bear against the US&#

Yes, that is exactly how the US "lost" in Vietnam: Not having air power take them out from 300 miles away. I put "lost" in scare quotes because that "loss" is debatable, but that's a debate for another tim

This idea of waging financial war on the US seems very en vogue in Europe right now, but I think it's terribly shortsighted. Here's how I think it would go down: 1. EU countries coordinate a mass selloff of US debt, somehow even

I have lived and worked in Switzerland. My office (shared with 2 other people) was the only space in the entire floor with AC due to some obscure archaic reason. That air conditioning worked great for years, but a few months before I left t

It's a generic, albeit somewhat euphemistic term. I agree we could do with some better messaging. Dirty and direct is usually more effective. How about this framing? The Internet is a dark street in rural India and your dumbass company

The Internet is the ultimate low-trust society. Your virtual doorstep is right next to ~8 billion other peoples' doorsteps. And attributing attacks and enforcing consequences is extremely difficult and rather unusual. When people from

That's announcing 40k WSPMs of eventual capacity spread across 28nm and 16nm nodes. I mean, it's a start, and I'm sure automakers are totally stoked given the Nexperia debacle, but the EU will remain completely dependent on f

I think that depends very much on targeting discipline. If the bombs are surgically striking key regime figures and sites, hampering C2, reducing the regime's total conspiratorial power, and increasing latency in the regime's OODA

That's exactly how I think of it. Gentoo plus ABI obfuscation. I'm sure there are issues (particularly around binary blob drivers) but they seem surmountable given enough effort...

I generally agree with you there, I simply don't think firebombing Tokyo and even nuking a couple cities was disproportionate. Morally wrong? Maybe. The only way to achieve a necessary military effect? Probably not. But they certainly

They were busily destroying empires and governments. How is the destruction of their empire and government disproportionate? And certainly neither Germany nor Japan had any compunction about indiscriminately bombing civilians, let alone
