- Well, the governor of Oregon was a Klansman in the 1920s.
- This is too far from correct for any correction to be anything but a full restatement of the facts. Moving the tech over requires US approval. Listen, the Dutch are not going to risk it. Even if they were, ASML would not risk it because all of their customers wouldn't buy anything from a company that's on the EAR Entity List (which is where they'd end up if they tried this without the US allowing it) without US approval. I don't get why people are saying this stuff. It's like saying "Oh yeah, so you divide by zero and then multiply both sides and ta-da". Like, the whole statement is nonsensical.
To enable the whole thing to work you'd need the US to have shrunk to the equivalent of Canada in influence. I'm not saying that's impossible, but in that scenario, the Dutch might well be trying to keep Russians out of Amsterdam and the Turks out of Germany rather than trying to pull an IP heist on the Americans.
You can buy an e-book on Kindle and Amazon still controls what you do with it, right? ASML's ownership of Cymer is like that, except it's the US instead of Amazon.
- An alternative manufacturer, but not a supplier, no.
The US exerts sufficient control over ASML that this will not happen without NATO ending. And the end of NATO (which would be a geopolitical shift more profound than the Fall of the Berlin Wall) and a replacement with some Chinese EUV light source risks the scuttling of all ASML facilities and devices. This is vapor above a coffee cup.
- ASML will instantly stall at that point. The EUV light sources are built in the US under US export control regulation. No EUV light source means no ASML EUV machine. I get that some European chest-beating sounds good because there's not very much tech in Europe, but this is an intentional transnational supply chain. It's no accident that the US chose ASML to develop this tech rather than Canon or Nikon. Close ally deep within the US military shield from nearby air bases.
The biggest losers from any such actual attempt by Europe will be Western Europe and the US.
I really like that Europeans are starting to be more patriotic. It's good to see. It's also fortunate that European leaders are aware of Europe's position and role in geopolitics.
- Thank you. That's actually quite helpful. So it affects book selection at the library but actual ownership and bringing the book to school are unaffected. I understand why the opponents of these 'bans' call them that, but it's funny that the proponents do as well. One would imagine their goals better served through deception.
- ASML develops and ships their machines at the pleasure of Uncle Sam because the USA licensed them the tech and remains a crucial part of the supply chain intentionally. It's not a lever. It's a partnership that is mutually beneficial and neither side can really ruin the other without damaging themselves.
- To be honest, I’m not going to take advice from the guys who have to reboot their machines every 30 days or they won’t work.
- How does a “book ban” in a school work? The school is presumably only going to have a limited set of books. If I wanted to ban a book I’d just make it seem like a resource reorganization. “Oh we’re just focusing more on educational content around mathematics. These trans books will come around in a later reorg” and so on.
Is it like if you bring the book to school you’ll be sent home or something?
- It is good that there are lessons like this in other lands. Their millions will thirst so that we can see what not to do.
Rural Californians put up signs that say we’re “wasting most of the water in the river” by which they mean our policy of allowing the river to flow into the ocean.
We should look to places with less intelligent geoengineering to see what would happen if we were so foolish. Their combination of resourcefulness and low-IQ will show us what happens when we prioritize extraction alone.
- I think this is just one of those instances where historians go for “most justifiable” vs. “most likely”. E.g. all dinosaurs were stretched skin, fatless, featherless because that’s the minimum thing that fits the evidence.
Likewise, where there is paint these guys have recreated it so. But over time we will find that there were more layers more likely to fail over time and so on.
- > Why are companies so irritatingly resistant to getting back to doing things in-person and real-time?
RTO for the recruiters, eh?
- Yeah bro. If you go to YC and do well enough they'll tell you. They'll put you in the second chance pool. They'll tell you not to upvote from the profile page, or from a direct link to the YC story page.
But the reason they won't tell you is that the entire reason it works is because you don't know.
- "Don't give me security updates every time there's a security issue. Instead do it occasionally because I like my vulnerabilities to be a surprise"
- This kind of privacy slop is overly popular in tech circles. Each participant just posts uninformed garbage and then they link to each other with “citations” for sources that are wholly made up. It’s really reducing the quality of information on this website that it’s now full of junior engineers and interns.
Those guys always obsess over CVEs and privacy and they’re always wrong about everything but have learned to mimic the language of people who know stuff. “There’s some evidence” / “here’s a source”. Ugh. Can’t stand it.
- Yes yes, I don't want updates. I just want updates. haha.
- There are two straightforward arguments against that (implied) position[0]:
First, it's entirely possible that you act against their interest while claiming to care for them. The majority of old Americans currently advocate for policies that will drain the next generation while enriching the aged. This is unconscionable theft from our succeeding generations. It is fairly typical of people to act kind in person while advocating for harmful policies. If this explains you then it doesn't matter that you don't express that you want the worst for them if you nonetheless support policies that vampirize them to fund your retirement in your old age.
Secondly, all disenfranchisement will have false positives. There are 17 year olds that are sensible enough to vote. They still cannot. That is the nature of selecting a line: true nature has a fractal edge and no rule that will fit in a rulebook can capture it all.
0: Which I think can be reasonably interpreted as "the fact that I love my relatives' children and my friends' children means that I do have a vested interest in the future".
- I suspect then it doesn't matter whether Mozilla kills itself or not. You should be fine with the current release of Firefox. Maybe you'd lose the installer, so all you have to do is put it somewhere safe and you're good.
- What the fuck is this LinkedIn tier garbage. God help us.
- That's not face recognition. That's face detection. It just detects faces and sticks a label from a pre-selected list. Come on, this doesn't even pass the basic smell test. "Facial recognition" my ass. It doesn't recognize anyone. I could build this in a cave with scraps. There's a huge difference between the two: recognition means you have found a known person, detection means you found a person.
That's about the difference between eating sodium chloride and eating sodium.
The risk remains. We just added another risk.
If I let my 6 year old daughter cross King St in San Francisco and a car illegally turning right while she is in the crosswalk kills her, who will society prosecute harder? Me or the driver? I think I know.
If a sex offender who has been repeatedly released from jail by a judge who feels that “this time, his fourth time, it’ll be different” assaults my daughter society will judge me not him.
I might lose any surviving children, presumably for willful neglect. And you will go out and say that incarceration is bad or whatever. Don’t give me this bullshit. “Try to eliminate all risk”? No.
You just decided you want to punish the risk-takers. That’s very different. “Crime is because of poverty”. Yeah, dude, the reason that Bill Gene Hobbs goes around touching little girls is because he’s poor. Give me a break. “Try to eliminate all risk”. Pull the other one. Obviously the crime rates look great, you don’t convict anyone anymore. No crimes committed.
