Let's make a thought exercise: Imagine Europe must, for some reason,s impose duties on anything from China. Like Europe says, 'Hey, you're burning too much coal, I will stop your cars with my tariffs.' China says, 'Okay, I will put duties on the parts, chips and batteries you're buying from me.' Now, Europe won't be able to produce any cars anymore. We've seen this already when COVID-19 stopped car production in the EU.

And chips are everywhere. Hence, the EU is dependent on China. Q.E.D.

Or maybe I am mistaken. Please tell me what you think regarding the above.
Economic nationalism is bad when Trump does it and bad when Europe does it too.

I was actually taught Analysis I and II in the former HQs of the Romanian Communist Party's Cadres Faculty (the infamous A250 classroom, for those that attended Computer Science school at Bucharest Politehnica), that was happening towards the end of the '90s - early 2000s, but never in my life back then I would have thought to bring up politics up in class, to the contrary. Which is to say, why are these students afraid of?

Breakups are painful. A great battle is afoot on the "data
sovereignty" ground, for sure.

It's over a year since I spoke at Cloud Native Media [0] on the urgent
need to extricate sensitive processes and data from US American
companies.

At the time there were a few angry reactions - mainly from people
accepting the risks for the first time and acknowledging how deeply
enmeshed/dependent their operations are. Most of the assembled
creators, CEOs, journalists, fully understood and were enthusiastic
about relocating away from US BigTech.

It's March 2025 and the US has gone full-fascism. AFAICS, all of US
BigTech (bar some tepid resistance from Apple) has fully aligned
with an agenda that is unconscionable to liberal democracy.

Yet we still have problems like UK government departments that are
running on Microsoft Teams or casually using Google docs in ways that
seem wholly inappropriate to security and safety of data and users.

Where I'm working on sensitive projects I find myself repeatedly
having to point out that we urgently need independent end-to-end

Do they disclose what percentage of their revenue is donated?

If it's just a token amount, then I'd rather not support a marketing gimmick and would prefer to just donate directly to an organization focused on trees. If it's a significant amount, then it seems unlikely that they'll be able to compete with for-profit alternatives that can focus on developing the best product.
I feel many of us in the IT world have stood along side this descent in real time, because technology has been an enabler (far from being an equaliser). We were mostly mute because of money and traction.
very good itemization of what's happening, thank you for doing this.
Unfortunately, one very important bullet point was missing: the world's richest man and arguably most influential in the white house controls a large internet satellite constellation and has acquired tremendous geopolitical power, even before having the president's ear. This is the single biggest threat out there I believe, as he has already had an impact on the Ukrainian front, and world leaders continue to placate him in fear of Starlink service being cut off in their country. I still don't understand how a private american company was allowed to obtain such geopolitical power, but this is by the far the most worrying point that needs to be brought up a lot more
The threat is something Denmark will have to respond to in some way. The rest of this is specious.

Sadly that reminds me how positive covid antibody test results haven't been a valid immunization attestation.

Maybe this type of bispecific antibodies could be used to neutralize the spike protein which the body produces through the vaccine. As far as I understand the targeted deltoid muscle is a cell with a long life therefore procuding and releasing spikes for a yet unkown timeframe. Given the various specific boosters I can imagine one taking neutralizing antibodies to avoid a constant immune system stimulation.
Technically true, which as we all know is the best kind of true. Note, however:

“The United Kingdom (along with the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar) was a member state of the European Union (EU) and of its predecessor the European Communities (EC) – principally the European Economic Community (EEC) – from 1 January 1973 until 31 January 2020.”

Compare the start of this subthread: “Didn't ARM start in Europe?”

Whatever point it is that subsequent responders were trying to score by mentioning continental europe is moot: Britain was part of Europe in more ways than merely its location.
Hello. I'm the author of the PR that landed the tail-calling interpreter in CPython.

First, I want to say thank you to Nelson for spending almost a month to get to the root of this issue.

Secondly, I want to say I'm extremely embarrassed and sorry that I made such a huge oversight. I, and probably the rest of the CPython team did not expect the compiler we were using for the baseline to have that bug.

I posted an apology blog post here. https://fidget-spinner.github.io/posts/apology-tail-call.htm...

Honestly, step one is for the folks screaming “free speech” and arguing about censorship to see what’s happening, and what real threats to free speech look like. We spent years being told that moderation on private social media was the worst possible thing in the world, and today there’s a real possibility of government prosecutions for protected speech. Even if you don’t like the people being threatened and chilled right now, it will be you eventually.
If only it was so simple, there are of course many conflicting interests in Europe, with certain countries who are more export oriented for instance benefiting from a weak Euro and others from a stronger Euro etc.

I’m not advocating for it, so don’t strawman me.

I’m saying it has approximately nothing to do with the actual issues we face today.

I.e. it’s just as relevant for me to say “this is why you don’t give governments firearms! An authoritarian one will turn around and shoot its own people!”

Like yeah, sure it seems likely. Relevant to today? Would today’s conditions have been averted if we had never armed the government? No.

Is it dangerous for the government to collect everything on the internet? Yes! Is there any evidence that capability and “habit” is actually contributing to the chilling effects described in the article? Nope!

As seen in GP’s comment, tech world’s fixation on high-tech super surveillance distracts from the how authoritarian regimes actually tend to exert control over their population. Like, in reality versus in science fiction (again, not that surveillance is good or neutral on this topic, but that it is not at all necessary).

I wonder how this compares to Linux Virtualization based Security?

From the page[1] with the video: a security feature that can a) harden the kernel and b) ensure that critical kernel resources remain untampered, even if the kernel gets compromised. VBS uses hardware virtualization and the hypervisor (Hyper-V) to create an isolated virtual environment that runs as a higher trust level, called Virtual Trust Level 1 (VTL1). VTL1 has its own kernel, separate from the Guest kernel, referred to as the Secure Kernel.

Do you have any evidence that long term lifestyle isn’t going to result in similar levels of strength?

It definitely occurs in other mammal muscle and some human tissue, and there’s studies supporting it occurring in human muscle. Myofibre splitting for example definitely occurs. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16625366/

I’ll admit there’s controversy here, but I think the default position should be human biology is similar to other mammals unless someone demonstrates otherwise. Otherwise our unwillingness to preform experiments on humans and the expense of primate experimentation is going to create a scientific bias.
awesome, wish you all the best with the project going forward!
Intersex people still generally fall on one side of the binary in how they identify and/or present, so they can choose the closest option.
Maybe a tangent, but I feel framing punishment/retaliation as "consequences" (remarking along the lines of "it's almost as if actions have consequences") often serves the purpose of treating the retaliation as if it's an inevitable rule of nature, just the way things are, opposed to an act that should itself be questioned - and potentially fought instead of "accept[ed]".

Punishment/retaliation can be seen as a specific type of consequence (one that is intentionally enacted by someone as retribution) so it's not that the framing is technically incorrect, but it seems to put it on the same level as "I threw a basketball upwards and it came back down to hit me in the face".
Can you not see how what that XKCD says which sounds so reasonable and innocuous will look to the people on the receiving end: that they are being shamed by an aggressive, vocal minority because of the views they sincerely hold? That this intolerance or deplatorming or whatever it gets called is likely to start as mere people not liking what you say and end in burning? Maybe both sides aren't as bad as each other but they're sure as blind as each other.

That's why I mentioned the escalation. We already had tariffs against China to protect internal market and bring prices on par to have fair competition, just like the US already had, but Trump wanted to go full berserk, and here are the results.

People are feeling like they can't talk freely about the kinds of political and social issues that tend to get talked about when you get a bunch of people of a particular bent in one place.
Similar here. It doesnt have to be all or nothing. Im in the u.s. and have a cool local co-op. So i buy most commodities at the cheapest grocery store and then some fancy stuff at the co-op to help them stay afloat and support local farmers. It's probably enough if everyone spends to their ability and maybe pushes themselves a little too.

In the summer we also have farners markets and thise are about the same price as the cheapest stores so i switch to them for fruits and veggies.
> This would allow you to avoid displaying the cookie banner.

That isn't actually true (or at least is only allowed in the "it's a small enough violation of the law that the enforcers have bigger fish to fry" sense).

Cookie banners are required to gather informed consent, which is relevant for two EU legislations: the ePD, which requires it to access or store _any_ data from terminal equipment, and the GDPR which requires it for personally identifiable data. Most people only consider the latter, but the former is a much bigger hurdle to pass.

Despite Plausible's claim of not requiring cookie banners, their processing still accesses data from the terminal equipment. That was made very explicitly clear in a 2023 guideline from the EDPB[1].

The one saving grace for Plausible is that the ePD is a Directive, so the actual implementation into law differs by Member country. The claim might be true for some EU countries, but certainly isn't for all.

I've written a longer analysis of this in the context of Plausible for anyone interested[2] (although it might be worth skipping the first section, to get to the meat of the issue).

While I won't claim there are countries that are immune to the effects of persistent grifting, the speed at which US was taken over is quite surprising for a European. In most liberal democracies there just is no single person with even half as much power, as the US president has over his country.
