WOW. EU paper authorship is also back to 1980 levels. But still. I mean, I get that this is still better than the US, but wtf. I wish Krugman had included that total papers has gone up spectacularly, and would not hide the absolute numbers.

If web identities become a real thing, the web will die entirely. Then it'll really be nothing but a mall.

You could just have said "sane". I mean does anyone who thinks about it for 5 seconds seriously conclude Iran achieving anything in this war would be good for anyone?

What one wonders when seeing this ... when choosing between Iran and the US, are there really people dumb enough to pretend Iran winning is good for anyone? What am I saying? Of course there are.

You're both wrong. It's true that the first whisper of movement travels at the speed of light, but the time until the flow stabilizes (which you WILL need to wait for in electrical chips) is actually slower than the "speed of

Then this would be stupid. Obviously if the product stops doing what people want (jailbreaking, not sure what the scare quotes mean) sales will plummet.

... of course, the EU has the power to get the banks to block those money transfers. Hell, central banks have to be involved in those scams (hopefully/probably unaware). But they CAN shut it down, HARD. They're not doing that, at

If that's true, then why would Amazon ever care about this?

This sort of thing brings back the late 2000's in Europe. Governments demanding devices "don't support piracy". Tech giants (really: Microsoft) responding, kind of, and failing.

Shows yet again: apps are secure because people check them. And politicians will avoid it at all costs for the same reason: it exposes them to being blamed for mistakes.

Yes, you do. First of all, in UK, it's almost exactly the same. In Europe under Napoleon law (most of the continent), it's the judge who decides to assign someone who gets to do discovery. Which means in practice the state (police

It could require you to confirm with a fingerprint though. So it's an actual second (or third) factor.

If you have something like this, how about you demonstrate a way to really help, and demonstrate (as opposed to claim) what this can do? Make a cheap vaccine against the new resistant forms of TBC, or if you truly want to impress, against H

So the managers also demand their employees don't use it you mean? Because then it can be used against them in court? (cfr. email "retention policies" legal departments demand these days?)

The problem with these efforts is always the same: organizations make their own messenger, and the fact that these organizations then have control over their own messenger ... means their employees won't use it. And that's ignorin

Invasions have historically destroyed elites that haven't or can't flee. Which means business/scientific/... elites that see things coming far enough out are fine, or get out with a large loss. And yes, I'm sure the

Okay. You only mention things on the US side. Iran is responsible for the bombing campaign in the Syrian civil war. Iran's islamists and hezbollah killed 80% of about 600000 civilians in that war, with Russian air support. Which is at

No, it doesn't. Israel's reaction to Oct 7 came pretty damn late. Western protests were caused by Oct 7, by hamas' massacre, NOT by Israel's reaction. Let's face reality here: the biggest massacre of Jews since the

The usual answer is slave labor, like in the middle east. But some combination of an extremely poor job market with laborers that can't leave, and can't do anything else.
