Finally getting around to reading this today. The European powers are looking at funding Eurostack, an internet infrastructure core independent of the United State's hegemony on internet routing, compute, and storage.

The Enshittification of American Power
First Google and Facebook, then the world. Under Trump 2.0, US statecraft is starting to mimic the worst tendencies of Big Tech.

You know, eight hundred years after the War of the One Ring, there would be chin-stroking conservative professors in Middle Earth bemoaning the destruction of the One Ring and writing long articles about how Sauron had a point.

A counter-intuitive finding: the most vulnerable code in your codebase isn't dusty old legacy code. It's the code your people wrote yesterday. Exploitable vulnerabilities and exploits are found in the newest code, not the oldest: queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?i...

context on why the resignation date is early next year - even MTG knows not to give up good health insurance when you have it
My assumption would be a pivot to punditry / Fox commentator or other similar grift.
She assumed office on 1/3/21, so 1/6/26 will give her the five years required to get a congressional pension and lifetime access to FEHB health insurance. And it'd get her out of the blast radius of a GOP collapse.

Zohran walking into the Oval Office, focusing on his key policy platforms, and coming away with an unqualified win over Trump really puts into relief how bad the Democratic leadership is that it has been repeatedly rendered totally impotent and made to look like bumbling cowards by the Donald.

Boetes moet je niet op de begroting zetten. Net als andere belastingen of accijnzen die gericht zijn op gedragsverandering, zoals bij tabak.
Die kun je dan een jaar later inzetten, voor een dan te bepalen doel. Niet op de grote hoop.
