What's new here? As mentioned in the article, Salt Typhoon and the recency of this request by the UK. At this point they should know better. My pet theory is anytime the US wants to do something illegal under US law, they simply ask th

Can anyone confirm the following? I remember when Trump had Canada re-ratify Nafta that Canada had to waive the right to require Canadian data stay in Canada. I know Canada signed the agreement but I am not sure if that requirement was ever

The Bank of England employees he terrorized would like a word. Carney has Julie-Payette issues in his past and probably won't leave his board seats to clean up Justin's mess, but never underestimate the ego I guess.

Toyota was betting big on hydrogen. Were they being engineer-minded or where they being lobbied? I would like to think they were betting on Beta -- the superior technology -- in the Beta v VHS battle of our time. What am I missing here? Toy

"In the style of..." is not substantially similar enough IMO. I think a better foundation for generative AI regulation is the moral rights of the artist [1], not copyright law. But the courts will take years, if ever, to get that

To be more precise the answer, in a word: "Hormones". Obesity is a endocrine disorder. Sugar -- it so happens -- majorly screws up the endocrine system. Other things do too... but sugar is the biggie.
