But there's 2 problems with that. To save money governments declare that "teaching is a profession". By which they mean: "teaching", not subject matter expertise, matters. Except: 1) the single thing you cannot beat

This would not be anonymous and would allow website owners to uniquely identify the hardware used to authenticate. So, once again: you can have a secure system XOR you can have anonimity.

And ... what will Europe do if America simply ... also moves to use China as a trading partner? Or just drops the EU goods entirely? It'll be unpopular for 1 or 2 years and then the US will be better off. The the EU will have to create

So the big question: Is this an excuse to save on memory costs and delaying stuff like the M5 Ultra, M6 Max, etc until 2027 when memory prices come back down?
