The EU will introduce "sanctions" via a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) at the end of this year. Currently the US wouldn't be affected much by this -- it only affects cement, aluminium, fertilisers, iron and steel,

Sketchy is that then someone takes “affirmative action to delete” the data on the server as well. Also this is not like some process crash dump where the computer keeps running after one process crashed. This would be like an plane black bo

That depends on the regulators being asleep on the wheel again and letting monopolies happen. At the minimum here in Europe they'd automatically fall under Digital Services Act. According to OpenAI they have 41.3 million average monthl

Also extra damage if the liver is already busy with alcohol. So not good to take for a hangover. This is why Ibuprofen is perhaps the better default painkiller.

The default with the build in sqlite in macos. Means Apple engineers made this choice.

Also it makes sense to have a capability only once within an alliance. If the US has the command, space and air capabilities, why would anyone else need to have this. You can add to their capability by buying F-35s and hosting their air bas

The problem is more severe. Previously the US government was passing laws (such as the CHIPS act) and then enforcing/executing them. Now it is just doing whatever it wants. This is only good for a very small sub-set of people, everyone

If someone from the Mafia comes to you and asks for a 10% share of your restaurant you better say yes.

Had the same thing happen to me and I am wondering how this can be legal (here in Europe). It is basically indirectly leaking search information to other users of the IP. I can think of not so bad information where it e.g. shows engagement

Yeah, it was a mistake taking this free trade, globalization, UN, WTO, basic human rights, ICC, change through trade, nuclear disarmament etc. stuff seriously. Cost us bigly.

This works if all the debt is long term debt (>=10Y), which surely Jellen and Bessent have been selling, right?

When Trump was elected, I clicked the sell button on the US treasuries and the buy button on the European ones. Was pretty easy. It will be more costly for the people doing this later, of course.

China is more in a debt trap than even the US. Their only clean balance sheet is the central government balance sheet.

Yeah, but for taxation you need state capacity to enforce it which was chainsawed/DOGED away.

I don't get this. How can two(+) WAL operations be faster than one (double the sync IOPS)? I think this database doesn't have durability at all.

Canada is importing Teslas from Germany now. Seems the Trump tariffs are working out great for US manufacturing in this instance.

I very much doubt that the US would allow EU institution to break up the US tech companies as they see fit. So this is not a viable approach (even if it would work). The approach would be to gradually limit EU market access till there are o

I'd argue that it doesn't go far enough at this point. There are imaginable scenarios now where the US uses AWS/Microsoft like China currently uses rare earth exports or even further and AWS/Microsoft + Android/iOS

You add more and more diagnostics (e.g. logging) in that area till you manage to track down the bug. Over several years this should be possible. At that point you can either fix the bug directly or do it properly by first reproducing the bu

Right, seems I can prevent AI training by marking a work here in Germany (via UrgH § 44b Abs. 3). That would be perhaps something to add to (a variant of) the GPL. Doesn't prevent training in the US and use of the trained AI and materi

Since AI use is based on "fair-use" how can you add a no-AI clause? Only protection I see is to not publish the code.

The btrfs devs are mainly employed by Meta and SuSE and they only support single devices (I haven't looked up recently if SuSE supports multiple device fs). Meta probably uses zoned storage devices, so that is why they are focusing on

Or it would be Bitcoin classic and have less/no value. See ETC vs. ETH. All depends on how many (important) market participants use which version.

by tobias3 1y ago
That's not completely true. If there is consensus among participants (especially exchanges) to change Bitcoin (fork) they can do it. Can't do that with Gold.

Agreed, but the Chinese want something of somewhat equal value in return nontheless. And the Chinese appetite for Sri Lankan treasuries might be limited. They also at least need to pay for inputs and if it is only crude oil.

There are on-going EU-China talks about this topic, but currently looks like a wait-and-see approach till after the Trump 90 day deadline. Other than that idk. The solution would be to increase wages/less working hours/less financ
