Oh sorry. Based on the tone and general fervor in your comment I somehow read it as RISC-V instead of simply RISC (which as other say seems like a mostly meaningless label these days). Yes, ARM is certainly competitive. But I don’t know how

EU did this years ago when they started applying VAT on small packages. You can still easily buy as much Chinese stuff as you lik, though. Chaos and uncertainty seem like a much bigger issue in the US than forcing foreign retailers to compe

Unfortunately regardless of whose fault is its hard to imagine Canada will be doing better than the US . It’s just to reliant on US economically. e.g. just like the tariffs which are hurting Canada much more than the US.

Are there any mid-high end RISC-V chips that have comparable performance per watt to x86?

> Clearly games are able to run well on RISC architectures Theoretically that’s likely true. But is there any empirical evidence? Even underclocked Intel desktop chips are massively faster.

Well yes, because medieval England or England in the 1500s was in many ways a fundamentally different state than the United Kingdom was in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

It’s closer to speculation than investing. Also it didn’t require any real work, just blind faith or forgetting that you even had bitcoin to begin with for a while.

> was very strange when Germany was one of the countries blocking protectionist policies Because they believed the actually had a chance of remaining competitive in the Chinese market. Turns out that was highly delusional in hindsight.

Well yeah.. that’s my point. If the tax works you have to keep continuously increasing it every year. At some point that becomes detrimental (I mean there are good reasons why we don’t ban the usage of fossil fuels entirely..) So it’s not a

Well yes, but if you reduce pollution by 50% then you need to double the tax and so on and so forth. If it’s not something that’s enforced globally you will either end up destroying certain industries and or having massive inefficiencies. M

Well yes and Italy is still below its 2008 peak. It’s rather implicitly obvious that when someone is talking about stagnation they mean Western Europe. Poland is an interesting case in that you can retain a free floating currency and your o

The single market and tariff free trade existed long before the EU was technically a thing. I do certainly agree about east vs west, though. I do also strongly believe that the Eurozone or a rather a monetary union without a fiscal union ha

It probably won’t crash i.e. they will retain enough market share domestically if the EU enacts sufficient protectionist policies. Export markets will of course collapse outside of the very high-end. But that has been slowly occurring over

A period of economic stagnation that has lasted for almost an entire generation at this point seems like a rather high price to pay for that stagnation. Surely there must be some balance?

Unfortunately Europe has to pick between actually taking decisive actions and doing something or another 20 years of stagnation (i.e. institutional stability). You can’t have both..

Well.. Way more than 5% of consumption happens in the US. The majority of those 95% is also very poor and can’t afford a lot of of goods (let alone expensive ones). Meaning that for a lot of businesses, especially those that manufacture goo
