Mirrors my shotgun approach to AI. Keep trying and stick with whatever works.
Spirit has been doing this since it's inception. The collapse of their business can't be through lack of this alone.
Companies from countries with more than 40% global market share in a given sector could be required to form joint ventures with European partners and transfer technology. At least half of jobs in such projects would also need to go to EU workers.
China has criticised the measures as discriminatory...
Do EU companies face similar restrictions when doing business in China?Attribution isn't required for permissive many open source licenses. Dependencies with those licenses will oftentimes end up inside closed source software. Even if there isn't FOSS in the closed-source software, basically everyone's threat model includes (or should include) "OpenSSL CVE". On that basis, I doubt Cal is accomplishing as much as they hope to by going closed source.
- In most of the episodes, the assumed leader is Colonel Jack O'Neill, who is literally a boomer and fits perfectly into the stereotype. The character's purpose is to show that positive qualities of boomerism win, while sarcastically dismissing the value of everything new.
- It's a patriotic military Sci-Fi that portrays the US military as mostly good. Reverence for the United States military is strongest with Boomers. Similarly, the theme of "American exeptionalism" is strong throughout the series.
- For a show made in the 2000s, Colnel O'Neill's consistent distrust of the Russians, contrasted with the relative openness displayed by other characters, is rooted in Cold War experience that strongly resonates with Boomers.
To be clear, I'm not saying any of this is bad. Personally I think it was a good show. Rewatching it today gives me nostalgia both for the show and the ideals of the era.
