Soviet Russia at that time was a global superpower that had developed nuclear weapons and was winning the space race. It only exported heavily to other communist states, but it definitely could do advanced tech and manufacturing. Modern PRC

It’s only a matter of time, but time matters, as they say. You should know that what China is doing was tried in the past. It is an old story. When the microchip was brand new (invented in the USA) the Soviets realized they needed the tech

They aren't afraid of hallucinations. Their first example is a hallucination, an imaginary biography of a Hitler who never lived. Their concern can't be understood without a deep understanding of the far left wing mind. Leftists b

There's no such risk so you're not going to get any sensible ideas in response to this question. The goals of the project are history, you already made that clear. There's nothing more that needs to be done. We all get that a

Lots of plausible alternative histories don't end with the destruction of Nazi Germany. Others already named some, another is if the RAF collapsed during the Battle of Britain and Germany had established air superiority. The Germans wo

Uh, you're planning to outsource regulatory compliance to an LLM? In the EU? Which has already banned the usage of "algorithms" that aren't "transparent" via the DMA? That isn't going to work. As for cloni

It has the knowledge workers but not the capital or laws that make it attractive for them to build tech firms. Many US tech firms would be either illegal to operate in the EU or legally very difficult. Any social network is a problem to ope

Benefitting can be spelled with two Ts. It's more commonly a British English spelling, and British English is often taught to non-native speakers in school. Using "harassing" as an adjective is also the kind of mistake non-na

Huge numbers are for political speech. It's not just prosecutions. Child protection is abused to force far left wing beliefs on the population. A former Marine was charged with inciting racial hatred after describing some migrants as “

Yes because self-organizing communities have never appeared anywhere in history. Just because you are afraid you can't win arguments doesn't mean you should get to impose your view by violence. Which is what you advocate for, when

YouGov panel always returns huge numbers for any 'safety' question that doesn't match data collected from other sources. It's a panel poll, the people being polled are weird and unrepresentative.

The obvious answer (that HN hates) is that the right can stop them. The only party in the UK against the Online Safety Act is Reform. The only party that wants to shrink the state is Reform. Every other party is supportive of this kind of t

They want to reduce censorship, not force people to "coddle" them. Anyone on the left can still criticize the current US administration if the censors give up. The only difference is, people on the right will be able to do the sam

Starmer was already the most unpopular PM on record before the budget, and Labour's voting intention is the lowest it's ever been. It's just a really, really unpopular government so of course it gets a lot of attacks.
