Yes, so let's think long term. How do we keep it rolling? Perhaps we will need to continue to advance our technology, especially moving industries to space where there is no ecosphere.

We're doing extremely well compared to an unimaginably long period of pre-industrialization.

It introduces no issues for space travel. And what exactly do you want to happen here? LEO to stay empty because no one else is able to fill it and for spacex to not to try to expand because the regulatory process isn't perfect accordi

Well the only thing that has ever solved starvation is improved technology, child abuse I think has nothing to do with satellites, and managing climate change requires massive energy and technology resources especially in space. So clearly

1. That's not true. 2. It's not "at will" if you actually read the article you're commenting under you'd see it is about them _applying for a license_ to do something.

Very naive. The services are potentially replaceable, the data is not. That's not even considering the political backlash. How do you explain to your population that their digital lives have been permanently deleted because of a trans-

I suspect that this is going to fall into the "nothing ever happens" bucket. What they're implying is that it is illegal for US companies to comply with EU law. This is significantly different than the EU enforcing the GDPR e

More likely the EU will be forced to back down since they are completely dependent on US digital services imports for basic infrastructure.

FWIW I have 4 sonos devices in my home and I've got basically zero problems. I guess I mostly use Airplay to control them but I do occasionally use the app and it's fine. I'm really not sure what all the fuss is about.

The pre-war energy status quo was also not good, and further in the context of the zero-sum german budget created by the Schuldenbremse a euro invested in the energiewende is a euro that cannot be more productively invested elsewhere.

It's a tradeoff, for example the German Girocard network is fundamentally built on top of SEPA so it is very low cost. But that also means that it does not support features that credit card networks support like chargebacks or 3DS. For

"The future looks somewhat difficult, better give up and go extinct" Fortunately natural selection will remove this mindset eventually. It's unfortunate that the species has to suffer it in the meantime.
