Truly one of the grander events in politics. US might start slowly but surely rebuilding its image on the international stand if it can keep this up.

Proper cocked up cover up. Now live!

This feels sensible. There will always be naysayers, there will always be exports to poorer countries, but arguing against such a policy makes it sound like protecting the status quo for the sake of it.

It's a theoretical pathway, but it's a nice read overall for someone who's not into warring all that much. I've found the explanations understandable.

Most likely nothing is going to come out of this, but I guess it's still a nice political gesture.

I do wish EC pulls this off. It would great having an actual home-grown competitor to cloud providers. EU does data protection better than anyone else, this would very much be a symbiotic relationship.

Regular archivers are sad today, I've upload the PDF of the article page here.

A fairly strongly worded opinion article by a clinician and associate professor.

Let's hope she's wrong, but the argument she provides sounds plausible.

"Seldom is so ambitious a case filed on so slight a basis," wrote Circuit Judge Raymond Kethledge, noting there are thousands of companies that have manufactured PFAS but just 10 listed as defendants in the case.

How on earth did that happen? It's such a disappointment, but at the same time I understand the judicial system has to follow the law and apply it equally.

Why was the lawsuit so limited in the first place?

This is an incredibly shit article trying to play reader's emotions. I do not agree with the execution of ULEZ expansion.

But death threats? Defacing? What the actual fuck, people?

Normally I prefer specialization, but these industries are massive enough to still have economy of scale benefits even after duplicating efforts across continents.

It's probably also a nice boost to local economies.

Finally some sanity prevailing!

It seems US is starting to push back a little. Can't say I blame them.

Archive.org fails to bypass firewall, ghostarchive fails altogether, archive.today is not happy with my work IP today. Would appreciate anyone posting an archive link of sorts for everyone as I've found the write up very interesting.

This is such a shitshow. The only thing that would surprise me at this point would be an actual end of the conflict.

including German retailer Metro and US cigarette maker Philip Morris.

I'm suprisingly OK with Philip Morris staying there and poisoning them. Sort of feels like an underground resistance.

Screw all the other companies, though. Reap what you sow and all that.

Wankers. Wankers everywhere.

It seems every couple of years it's in danger to shut down. Is this a genuine thing, a political play or something else?

The first I've heard of it was yesterday(?) when the military defeat happened. Seems like it dissolving itself.

I'm sort of torn on this. I really like the idea of all member states having an equal say on things, but at the same time Hungary and Poland's fairly extreme stance is holding the whole bloc back.

Is there a democratic way to solve this? I'm not aware of one.

Haven't paid much attention to Taiwan other than the constant threat from China. A domestic sub is a massive development for a military complex.

That's certainly one way to run a prison.

I'm not sure I like the graph (and the whole report). It feels like it prices stopped growing, the representation in the chart would go down as it would be compared to a growing base number as time goes on.
