   On the contrary, that's cold hard truth. The US repeatedly forces foreign companies into obedience for US companies' profit. For instance, the US forced Alstom to sell its power branch to GE by actually taking hostage one of Alsto

   I had the whole Handspring / Palm smartphone line : Visor + Visor Phone, then Treo 270, then Treo 600, then the Treo 650, and finally the Palm Pré. They were no iPhone, but they were extremely efficient work tools.

   I still have my Visor with its VisorPhone module, the very first touch-only smartphone in existence, 5 years before the iPhone :) It was big, clunkly and relatively impractical (the Visor ran on 2 AA batteries, while the phone module had it

   Ah, Apple. SMB has always performed from horribly slowly a few years back, to barely decent recently, but is still way slower than NFS or (oh the irony) Appleshare on the exact same hardware. Tested a few years ago throughput to a big NAS c

   Also in Europe competition is ramping up. Tesla has been complacent and is now falling behind. For instance BMW, Renault and Mercedes all have much better "self-driving" than Tesla (capacitive steering wheel, efficient automatic o

    Hopefully, someday Cockpit will be as complete as Webmin (which does just everything, and then some more, but is ugly and fragile).

    Weird, I've been running and updating NextCloud since version 13, and I never had any problems as long as I didn't try to upgrade 2 release up at once and carefully applied the recommended database updates, etc.

    Exactly. Emmanuel Todd says it in his own way : in the US your best bet is always to work in or around finance, because printing money became the main business in the country. That's also why the US must import engineers massively, for

    You're not asking for the authority to accept you to march, you simply announce that you'll march, which, as a fundamental right, can't be rejected by the authorities beforehand unless there are serious reasons to believe tha

    In many places, 90% and up of a computer environmental footprint is its fabrication. In France, Canada etc using a computer as long as possible is the right choice from an environmental standpoint. Of course even 10, 12 and 15 year-old comp

    I pretend that capitalism hasn't much to do with it, but energy availability is key. Basically (contrary to the nonsense professed by neoclassical economics of all stripes, from Solow to Krugman and Hayek to Nordhaus) the economy is a

    That's the wonder of capitalism. Power is in the hands of those owning the capital; from their point of view, everything goes really great and according to plan. There is no democracy, as everything is done so that as much as possible
