Europe can just ignore that, in a week or two the US leadership will have another agenda. If things get too intense EU can buy some trump coins. Nobody cares about company fundamentals anymore, so for most Americans this would be a trading

Honestly, indies freaking out about EU is something I don't find justified. All the EU regulations are intended to regulate tech giants or provide some tools to the law enforcement when something nefarious going on and most importantly

This doubles as an excellent episode guide, I was wondering what I've already watched and what I want to watch again and the short analysis style of this is superb. That said, I don't agree with the assessments that much. For exam

So apparently SpaceX is building many of those all the time and the latest spotted one in development is Starship 42: https://starship-spacex.fandom.com/wiki/Ship_42_(S42) I guess how much of a setback this is will be

Here's a video on the topic from 2 weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfr8fmF8oJU Pretty interesting.

Right, my rule of thumb is to stick with AppStore and when that's not an option use a Virtual card that I can just abandon if I don't want to use the service.

How is it possible to have impossible to cancel trails? On AppStore it's in your account and takes 2 taps to cancel regardless of what the developer does. Are you talking for direct, by credit card payments that somehow you can't

I don't know, I expect it to be at least %3 as this is the general conversion rate for "free" users AFAIK. There must be some some number that makes it viable to have free users and paid users. For games, the free users are u

Does anybody have stats on how many people are O.K. paying for their core services, i.e. how many people pay for paid personal e-mail services? I just don't want to believe that our services have to be paid for through proxy by giving

I think I'm convinced with liquid glass design, the issues highlighted by the users in the beta release IMHO are a result of rushing it out for WWDC. It appears that they didn't have enough time to polish the UI to comply with th

NO censorship as far as I can tell, all websites I tried worked. Beyond that, Russian websites are also fine. Also, I don't expect to have EU wide bans anytime soon because each country is into doing its thing in this regard. When Germ

It's usually the people you voted for, middle level managers in California, terminally online nerds who moderate communities, angry stalkers and algorithms.

Does it increase over time or does it do its thing and in our model we decided that stages of it is called time?
825.
by mrtksn 1y ago
Exactly, time is whatever the clock measures and the clock does it through some defined physical interaction. Can be a swing of a pendulum, can be vibration of an atom, flow of sand, unwinding of a spring etc. It's useful because its q

There's no arrow of entropy, it's an invented useful model to describe something that nature does. Everything is like that, I.e. there's no electric field, it's a useful way to do calculations about particle interaction

by mrtksn 1y ago
Isn't time a human invention useful to model the nature? It's literally just a defined interaction as a reference, i.e. the sun rising up and going down which is the rotation of the earth. So IRL there's no time, there's

Im not sure about that, Europe has plenty of starups. Also, IIRC it has larger number of small businesses than US as in US huge companies employ huge numbers of people. What Europe does not have is scale ups in tech. The tech consolidated i

One swallow does not make a summer, all the major platforms are American and that's where Europe lags. I agree that Europe does have some great tech but they are all niche. Europe also have some great consumer tech products but they ar

I agree, protectionism is bad most of the time but it has its place. It is bad when you are ahead, it is useful when you are behind(You want them to be exposed to the cutting edge market but before that you want them to be able to exist in

Cool, which regulations exactly stopped you from doing cutting edge AI?

by mrtksn 1y ago
Europe isn't going to catch up in tech as long as its market is open to US tech giants. Tech doesn't have marginal costs, so you want to have one of it in one place and sell it everywhere and when the infra and talent is already i

Regulations are usually about the absolute minimum, if you look at EU you can see that there are large discrepancies between countries despite being under the same regulations. You can't regulate your way into prosperity. IMHO it'

At some point the "If voting changed anything, they’d make it illegal" quote went popular among the leftists. At the same time the right wing were convinced that elections are rigged. Turns out it's all BS. Unless it already

Yeah, and the online radio providers argued that they don’t do anything shady, their service was basically just a very long antenna. Anyway, the laws were not written with this type of processing in mind. In fact the whole idea of intellect
