Norway collectively owns its 'key economic drivers'.
Is that a bad thing?, they're still capitalistic, just with better respect for its people.
You probably collectively own things via the stock market too.
The term you are looking for is communism, not socialism.
Nordic countries are practicing Democratic Socialism.
DSA is not communist.
Why are you spreading this crap when it takes 2 neurons and a few searches to find out you are wrong?
Why are you lieing?
From what i can read they want the same scandinavian model with strong labor unions, universal public services and so on.
No it's not, check out Europe, mostly northern countries, it's working just fine.
> At the very least there is no pre-existing example of democracy and socialism working side by side.
Again, northern europe screaming at you.
So you're wrong...
Also, you're Canadian, maybe it's not your business
As for their agenda, you are wrong.
Why?, retaliatory - in response to US, tarriffs - taxes, whether on export or import, as you noted, doesnt matter much. Effect depends on who needs to either sell or buy the tarrifed items the most.
Since you are getting hurt you play tit-for-tat to get the other to knock it off.
So you add export taxes to items they care about (oil/fertilizer/...) and compensate the losses incurred by existing industries.
You also add tarriffs on items that have alternatives, like alcohool.
Maybe add tarriffs on items with elastic prices, say 100% tarriff on digital services. Software services will have to adjust prices so they end up the same after tarriffs since few people will accept youtube or netflix doubling in price.
This hurts both countries but will get a result - either free trade or no trade.
In the meanwhile, Trump's entourage has derivative bets on this and take massive proffits shorting everyone. For them, this is all massively profitable.
Note: France/UK still have nukes and the Netherlands can develop its own if it needs any
Hard to protect against espionage and hard to compete with a company that has massive state subsidies.
Easier to just sell them the equipment to prevent this.
Note: they can already produce DUV equipment, just probably not economically viable (yet)
New sanctions?, existing sanctions?, tariffs?, that threat is a recurring theme and is losing its power since Trump can just impose sanctions if he wakes up in a bad mood.
What happens if ASML/The Netherlands refuses to comply?
The US imposes sanctions and prevents suppliers from selling to ASML?
That would mean ASML in turn starts refusing to sell to the US and maintain equipment used in the US...
Who's losing the most here?, who caves first?
As for the ban... it's for older DUV machines which China can already build themselves.
EUV machines are still banned.
They are going to lose casual posters as well.
funny that i wasn't getting anything useful out of it for some time
new version doesn't even work properly on firefox with ublock, comments almost never show up, video doesn't work...
He doesnt throw people out of windows himself, he has his state do that.
Move enough people away from supporting him and he's gone.
When it happened it seemed that the emperor was naked and nobody would protect Putin.
All the military ordered to stop him just did not do anything or joined them.
Tried to bomb him but plane was shot down and that was that.
Only problem is Prigozin called it off, he likely forgot to hide his family
Someone more ruthless in his place could have done more
Well, seems like they better start working on that
I'm curious what happens when elites next to putin start losing their wealth by losing their actual assets
ideas + execution - not really - (Linus Torvalds sharing his work on Linux and that taking off)
he's training his cheap replacement - his thoughts will just be shared without attribution if someone is looking for that.
They should be able to fight this as well.
Problem is they are the ones funding the poor quality spam and they're in turn profiting by taking money from advertisers.
LLMs just use everything, generate similar code with no attribution and keep users from visiting, so no bragging rights or attention.
Worse, there are some PRs that seem fully generated ...
So i mostly stopped sharing and started pulling my old repos offline.
At this pace, i don't want to compete with a clone of myself in the future that will do my work for much cheaper.
strategic failure - iran shrugged it off and now are causing massive damage to world economy with no end in sight.
Doesn't seem like there's a coherent plan. What you are saying is the old plan from long before Trump, that was torpedoed. Going back to that is saying they've failed in whatever this was.
Also that is iran's plan as well, survive while the US suffers and eventually gives up like Vietnam ...
> If the EU and Japan pay higher energy costs, that is an added bonus for Trump.
US also pays added costs... and Trump is hurting from that
The only one profiting is China since they've mostly transitioned away from oil...
> It's exhaustive writing, something an LLM can easily be tasked with
It is also something someone with that condition can work/agonize over every little detail for a lot of time.
> it covers everything an Autist might encounter, it has a story arc, a protagonist hero narrator, who after suffering and setbacks and minor improvements suddenly has a final revelation and thus finds fame, fortune and a wife in the end
It is the life story of a 30 year old man, so yes, lots of items.
Wife sounds like they found each other during school, she being the one chasing him, which could be for a lot of reasons, eventually everyone hooks up and settles down.
As for fame and fortune... he found his niche in the military working hard. Hard work generally overcomes everything. As for fame, a good person/worker generally is appreciated, so not really out of the ordinary.
> It reads like it tries to pull you in and then sell you something. That would be Christianity, Manliness, etc...
It's easy to find fixations, he even said it was for the estethic...
Still, yeah, it was weird checking out the website not being aware of it, so ok, maybe?
> it rejects an professional diagnosis and therapy as career damaging
For older people it was... getting 'dignosed' was really badly looked upon, you are probably young.
> instead trust some conservative manosphere blog from the internet, and "suffering through it"
fixations, that doesnt mean we should do the same, everyone has their flaws.
the blog was fairly at the end and only mentioned for the esthetic/dressing part.
reading through it didnt seem he was really a believer.
> Yeah, I'm not buying it. These blogs are the reason why the internet is dead.
Your oppinion, for me it actually brought memories of stumbling upon other blogs 15-20 years ago.
I don't think its an LLM, i would be disappointed if that were the case
There are a lot of people that do not know what to do.
There are also wounds that you can't really do anything about without hospital. (internal bleeding?!)
The funny thing is, as analogies go, here the friend tells you to bugger off because of israel and tells the mugger to come back and help him... mugger stabs him some more
BYD / Tesla / other EV makers are eating their lunch and all they can think is how to lower production costs ...
Might be better to actually copy what others are doing, build better EVs, vertical integration, optimize factories, figure out battery manufacturing, in-house as much as possible instead of giving away your tech via joint ventures....
The datacenters already get long term tax deductions, probably easier to tax the billionaire's assets with a wealth tax on stock market assets...
what benefit does an AI datacenter bring to a community?
why wouldn't people complain?
on that note, if LLMs dissappeared tomorrow, what would be the loss for common folk?
Solution seems simple, build them away from communities, arrange for sustainable power generation and water use, problem is that eats into datacenter profits...
