Read the Isaacson biography. Musk is clearly deeply involved in the details of all his projects, to a degree that would seem unthinkable for almost any other CEO.

By 2000 the military involvement in the internet was long since history. If you want to talk about the time when government investment was what mattered you have to go back ~35 years or more.

Almost all government R&D spending is via small(ish) grants to academia for entirely unfocused "blue sky" research. Once you accept the premise that research should have no specific application in mind, it becomes impossible t

The social union happened anyway via the backdoor (as always), when the ECB decided it would do "whatever it takes" to stop bond rates rising on Eurozone countries. That opened the door to arbitrarily large wealth transfers from r

That would open you up to arbitrarily large bills which nobody in their right mind would sign up for. If your content goes viral and you're paying to replace the advertising revenue, you could be in a deep hole.

That's just a bank problem. Certainly this isn't how payroll works for large companies. Banks usually let you upload XML files that define a set of SWIFT payments, this is how I do payroll even for a small company. The accountants

I'm not aware of any alt origin story given the very clear and direct line between the EU and the Ventotene Manifesto. The EU's own diplomatic service tells the story the exact same way: https://www.eeas.europa.eu/

The Wikipedia ads are nothing but clickbait. Wikipedia itself doesn't need any funds, but the ads urge users to click by claiming that the site may go offline if they don't. Then the money is embezzled and spent on left wing cause

The sad, awkward and near-unspeakable problem is that totalitarianism flourished in 20th century Europe partly because the culture was tolerant of it. That culture wasn't totally erased by the Allies at the end of WW2, which is why the

They routinely run absolutely massive banner ads for themselves at the top of every page begging for donations they don't need. And these ads are the worst: extremely deceptive, unnecessary, and huge.
