Nationalisation in a country like the US generally means getting bought out at a fair, even generous, price.

Facebook (fold it into Instagram)? Google (fold it into YouTube Shorts)? Elon Musk if he wants to lose even more money? Or any other very rich big tech company that wants to have an insanely addictive social media app? If nobody buys it then it will lose much of its value anyway by not being usable by a huge moneyed market which will apply downwards pressure on the price as buyers play chicken with each other. Plenty of buyers.

Maybe. Or maybe the US would find some excuse to ban them too. Or the same one - remember the US considers it appropriate to spy on and read the emails of the German chancellor. Conveniently, there isn't any major European social media to compare to.

This is a definitional thing; for whatever reason US regulators define this as 'high-speed', but no-where which operates actually high-speed (ie pushing 300km/h) lines does. The LA-Las Vegas project, and the California high speed rail project, are high-speed by international standards, at least in parts.

It fascinates me to know such an amazing rabbit hole exists.

It seems like the move is to force ByteDance to set up a company incorporated wholly in the United States, which would then be subject to the oversight of the US government. Then, Byte Dance would lease the IP surrounding TikTok to this separate company. All the US customer data would be siloed on US servers and perused by US agencies and Byte Dance would still get their revenue from the US market. I don't know if the close association with ByteDance and China would still make that sort of arrangement a target of the US government.

The 2010-2013 timeline was also when the problem of ad fraud exploded. Google even acquired a company (or multiple, if I recon correctly: https://www.ft.com/content/352c7d8e-9acc-11e3-946b-00144feab... ). You had these companies popping up left and right that were snooping on Google and the emerging programmatic advertising environment to see if the websites and the traffic delivered were legit, and there were some scary numbers flying around.

The whole problem kind of got swept under the rug with most advertising ecosystems implementing a checkbox solution for clean traffic, and the web turned mobile user first.

My impression is that ad fraud never disappeared - it just got sanitized and rolled in with the other parts of the ad stack.
Russia too: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X are banned, Tiktok is severely restricted (no uploads, no non-Russian content).

Rabbit R1 source code analysis by Retr0id
This. The $12B represents about 0.2% of the total US outlays for FY 2023. People tend to see the big number without considering the rest of public spending. You have to crack an egg to make an omelette. As a result the general population will tend to vote against these kinds of investments and then look back in 50-100 years and wonder why other countries seem to have all of the nice public infrastructure.
This is the correct insight. Google has enough machine learning prowess that they could absolutely offload, with minimal manhours, the creation of a list ranking a bunch of blogspam sites and give them a reverse score by how much they both spam articles or how much they spread the content over the page. Then apply that score to their search result weights.

And I know they could because someone did make that list and posted it here last year.
I feel like we should separate Voice Assistants from infotainment in general here.

Yes, Siri is terrible, but the EUs new DMA law requires that I be able to select a different voice assistant on iOS too, and that should theoretically, once implemented, also apply to CarPlay.

In my opinion, and while I haven't used "Android Auto" I have used "Android Automotive" (the OS version, without a phone driving the integration), CarPlay the infotainment integration (besides Siri) offers a better user experience.

I think it's really weird that this is considered. Masonry is a very specific layout implementation whilst the typical CSS layout feature is more foundational.

Also, I think the need for masonry is vastly overestimated or perhaps not fully researched. It is presented/implied to be a common need but it isn't. Check the top 100 websites, check your personal top 20 websites, how many use masonry? I bet not that many, it's niche use case which also has plenty of usable alternatives. It also never even shows up in any developer surveys.

Anyway, if we're into the game of building very specific layout solutions into CSS itself now, I'd argue the layout as seen on Google Image search is the far more useful one. It is somewhat of a horizontal masonry, but not really. Each image must keep its original aspect ratio (no cropping) whilst all images on the same row have the same height, thus filling the vertical space of the row fully. At the same time, rows must be roughly of the same height. There can be no gaps at the end of a row nor at the last row.

Quite hard to implement, although there's articles describing how.

Solution #3: don't give any IOT stuff access to the internet, you don't want your adversary [1] to be able to access their spy agents nor to bring down the grid by rapidly switching on and off all devices under their control. The suggestion to use a VLAN is good but not sufficient, that VLAN should not have access to the internet. Any interaction with IoT stuff should be mediated by software under your control, transmitting only such data as you want to be transmitted. This is a bit more work than just allowing the things to access the 'net but it mostly solves the problems of these devices being used to spy on you or to enable their use in schemes to affect grid stability.

How? Create a VLAN which has no access to the outside nor to the rest of your network. Add a dual-hosted gateway to the VLAN which interacts with the IoT things to extract any data you want (production data for inverters, temperature data for temperature sensors, etc.), feeds them whatever data they need to function, interacts with controls (set temperature on HVAC system, change mode, etc.) etc. Do not allow these devices to update their software automatically, this is something you want to take care of yourself. Since the devices are not directly connected to the 'net they are not exposed to whatever nefarious actors are out there to compromise them so any remote exploits should remain unexploited (other than by you, e.g. to install ESPHome or Tasmota). You get to sleep at night in the knowledge that your fridge may be trying to spy on you but is thwarted in its attempts and that little rocket man can not use your inverter or heat pump to wreak havoc on the grid.

In Developer options you can select a mock location app like Private Location[1], and there is an app named Shelter[2] that allows you to freeze and unfreeze (depending on what you mean by the terms, you may want the last mentioned app, see [3]) applications in your personal and work profile (and to isolate and run multiple instances of apps using Work Profiles). Additionally, you might find SuperFreezZ App stopper[3] useful and it might be what you are looking for. It allows you to entirely freeze all background activities of apps (unused apps, too, automatically). All of the apps mentioned work without root, and are worth checking out.

No. The POTUS as part of the Executive Branch serves to Execute laws Legislated by Congress as the Legislative Branch.

The Supreme Court or a lower court could Judge the law to be unconstitutional as the Judiciary Branch, and to that end the POTUS can nominate judges and the Senate can approve or deny them.

The only thing POTUS can unilaterally enact and/or revoke are Executive Orders, which themselves are grounded in laws Legislated by Congress and Judged by the courts as necessary.

All of the companies I cited are hugely profitable. They might not be as large as they once were, or as important, but a business that has non-declining net income in the billions is not in a death spiral. IBM has shrunk a lot, but except for the financial crisis in the 90s, they have been profitable every year, and profits are roughly flat since 2017.

This is certainly a completely different picture than Yahoo for example.

And your argument for Microsoft is that they are in a death spiral because they only have 70% of market share on the desktop, and are shrinking by 2% per year, so in, uh 15 Years they might only have 50% of the market share! Also, please ignore that they successfully diversified their revenue streams to other markets (Cloud).

And your evidence is that they failed to capture the mobile market. While you also argue that Google is in a death spiral when Google is actually the company that won the mobile market.

I think you might be using the term death spiral in an unconventional way here.

Machine learning is probably as much or even more susceptible to SEO spam.

Trains don't rule Europe on cost, airline prices are usually lower if you're willing to fly Ryanair or similar.

But the train is much faster if you want to go from city center to city center for a distance that's a relatively short flight. Like London to Paris or Amsterdam to Frankfurt. If you want to go across Europe from one side to the other, the plane is much faster.
