One would sort of expect the NSA to be able to get ahold of the weights and have the budget for a few graphics cards.

Europe, Europe, and Europe. But it isn't actually a war. A war is a horrible, brutal thing. Wikipedia tells us: > War is an intense armed conflict between states, governments, soci…

No. They are not at war "in all but name". War is a brutal thing, involving the deaths of thousands of young men. The EU is not by any stretch at war with Russia, nominally or othe…

Probably not. The technology still exists, and nothing beats it on P2P file transfer. From the economic point, the fragmentation of streaming services will probably give it a resur…

A determination subject to whom? 1. RT does provide a view, and I would like to hear it, thanks. 2. Who decides what are the "actual news reports"? Who decides that RT is not "vali…

No, encryption isn't going to help, because they can still block on IPs. Encryption plus eSNI helps, and if, for example, Yandex.Cloud sets up a big "shared host," I fully expect t…

Yes, and I earn money to pay my bills from global business dynamic economy enterprise trading. How are you to get on the Tor network?

I am not talking about the economy, I am talking about the Internet. Cutting RT off from the European Internet requires cutting the EU off from large chunks of the global Internet.…

IANAL, but as far as I know, EU laws are more important than national laws (you can search "Supremacy of EU law") except in Germany, so the question is if it violates the equivalen…

My concern is that with this, you're not just segregating Russia from the world, you're segregating the EU from the world. You're going to get a new Iron Curtain, only this time, t…

"Knowingly and intentionally" seems to apply to the operation (e.g. "you know that you're running a Tor node") - "circumvention" is on the basis of "object or effect". (For ESL spe…

If you like laws, how about Cunningham's Law? :) No, but I am aware of this, I even thought to mention it, and I sorely hope that I am proven wrong. However, my concern is that the…

What if you explicitly target it with respect to the money? Most of the crap on Google is going to be monetized sites. If you just block/downrank all the sites with e.g. ads, then …

Step 1 is quite difficult, and step 2 has the downside of disincentivizing people to use it. There are some attempts to make search engines where you pay per month.

That's not a hard fork. A hard fork makes a previously invalid transaction valid; this made a previously valid transaction invalid, e.g. a soft fork. Bitcoin has had many soft fork…
