Here's how you can stop it: no national licences to distribute power, telecommunications, medicine, fuel, etc. Even some software. Then you will have to have regional duplicates of…

"you can’t stop talking about yourself, but from an earnest yearning to share authentically". Well, that killed it for me. Talking? Honestly? Dear lord, no.

"also much worse …" Why is convicting and sentencing criminals a bad thing?

"The amount of water used is somewhat less important than what the source of the water is." Where I live, the golf courses are the largest and often only consumers of recycled wate…

The Europeans didn't think it was a bluff. But more generally, when the foundation of your country's morality is "all men are created equal" you really have given up the space to o…

Huh, a lot on the 737 Max situation was due to standardisation. Boeing didn't want the time, expense, and hassle of certifying (= standardising) a new narrow-body aeroplane, so the…

"climate doomerism" Just a reminder that actual adult scientists at the ACS (American Chemical Society) have calculated (for all to see) that the excess heat being trapped just ove…

"they also send thousands of sex-spies" Could they send one (or two) my way?

And when you here unsubstantiated rumours* that ­say Anthropic has been sending exchanges to say Alibaba's Qwen, will you als oconclude the same about the entire US AI industry? I …

"Especially outside of US market." A euphemism in polite company for: we'll ban them on national security grounds like we did with cars and phones.

… for which (if you think women are equal) they should receive the Nobel Peace Prize. (Husband and father of daughters).

"A company incorporated in the EU, even if it is owned by an entity in the US, is not subject to US jurisdiction and so that does not apply." Incorrect, this is EXACTLY the scenari…

You are incorrect: 1. the 2018 CLOUD Act mandates US companies — and their subsidiaries — to provide information to the US government on demand, regardless of where the data is sto…

"The purpose of software is to provide value to the customer." Partially correct. The purpose of your software to its owners is also to provide future value to customers competitiv…

For active soldiers, yes - kill them, any time, anywhere. That's what "at war" means. Its not a policing operation.

Oh stop being so self-loathing: Israel was created by a mandate from the League of Nations. So, most of the planet (1) (1) Well, excluding Ethiopia because they still thought it wa…

China. If they wanted to.

Come now American people, The UK and France have long had a project 'on the shelf' to substitute the missiles with the French M51 ballistic missiles. They don't want to do it, they…

"The concern about a new dependency on China is real," The dependency is latent, is only become a problem when you (USA) does something to dick with China's dependency on you. If y…

You are mistaking the battle for the war: Denmark / EU would no doubt lose the BATTLE for Greenland. Within hours. But the sun would rise the next day and the USA won't like the 'n…

You clearly don't know British understatement. Firing on one British officer would be as bad a firing on 10000. It's about lines.

Nah mate, Rich powerful countries could also keep slaves and no one would be able to stop it by force. But they don't. Civilisation advances.

The UK only had to send a single officer to Greenland to stop Trump's previous attempt to annex Greenland. That was a signal, thankfully there are still adults in the USA who recog…
