Political change is driven by 3% of the population. 1/3 voted for democrats. So 1% of the population would be incarcerated. Peak prison population was 0.7%. Doubling that capacity is possible, especially if prison camps can be used.

What’s the winning strategy? If violence is escalated until everybody is incarcerated not much will change.

It’s still possible to ask if Germany could have prevented it.

Nebenbeibemerkt ist es gesellschaftlich normal, mit Lügen zu leben. Wir nennen das Mythos. Bei Nordkorea fällt uns das auf. Bei Fankreich glauben wir an Freiheit, Gleichheit und Brüderlichkeit, ignorieren aber Haiti.

Für den Bürger ist es nicht klar, welche Unwahrheiten er weiter glauben soll und welche nicht. Da Abweichler nicht freundlich behandelt werden, ist es meist besser, das zu tun, was alle machen. Und selbst die Abweichler haben wiederum Dogmen, die nicht hinterfragt werden können. Das macht es schwer, eine Alternative zu entwickeln.

Die Wahrheit ist bekannt, wird aber nicht in das eigene Handeln integriert, weil das zu anstrengend, zu kostspielig oder zu beängstigend wäre.

Weitermachen wie bisher ist doch dann die wirtschaftlich richtige Entscheidung. Wir leben im Kapitalismus. Damit ist es nicht Hypernormalisierung, weil der Kapitalismus auch in der Krise funktioniert. Er sah nur wegen des Systemwettbewerbs mit der UDSSR früher besser aus.

unter anderem deswegen, weil sie sich keine Vorstellung von einer Alternative machen konnten

Welche Akternative haben wir denn jetzt? Die Elite glaubt weiter dran. Finnland bekommt auch Steuerersparnis für Reiche. https://feddit.org/post/14157148

Die Wahrheit kann eigentlich bei allen Themen nicht diskutiert werden, weil es zu viele ideologische Verflechtungen gibt.

Klimakrise, Demokratiekrise, Krieg, Flucht, Gewalt

Wo können die Themen trotzdem konstruktiv diskutiert werden? Es werden doch sicher alle Fakten bekannt sein. D.h. wenn sich die Gesellschaft in einem Format zusammenfindet und alles zusammenträgt, sollte sich eine Lösung ergeben.

hadn’t been held back by lazy MS et al.

MS is not lazy but working hard to maintain their lead.

edit: Just noticed that my phrasing is bad and could be seen as praise. OP is right, MS is holding everybody back.

I meant to say that they abuse their market domination to maintain their lead.

Look at MS Teams. It was free until Slack was done as a competitor.

MS did things but that’s inevitable. The crucial part are the things that they prevented.

It’s increadible that OP is even downvoted.

Easiest trick: Show two options, let people pick a side and then pitch them against each other.

The problem is complex enough that both options are hammers that won’t help to repair a watch.

It’s two quotes. Miners don’t throw coal into furnaces.

My liberal friends were saying, ‘You can’t expect them to be able to do that,’” Biden told his New Hampshire audience. “Anybody who can go down 300 to 3,000 feet in a mine, sure in hell can learn to program as well, but we don’t think of it that way,” he said.

“Gimme a break! Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program for God’s sake.”

However, the only strategically significant rival we have that utilizes those shopping lanes are Russia, whom the administration wants to buddy up too.

If that doesn’t play out, Putin will be dropped like Saddam.

Better than being a hopeless doomer about everything.

How can any change happen if there is only a limited willingness to perveive reality and analyze it?

They’re clearly referring to when it became easily accessible to the masses.

When have you been to the moon?

It’s a feature.

How did we manage before cars or smartphones? AWS lambda may not be that useful but it’s only an example. The difference is the entire collection of cloud services.

Whatever is the next step, some things need scale. Google has their own AI chip. I think there are also specialized storage chips. Gates has a company for new nuclear reactors.

But that’s the next step. First somebody has to catch up and establish cloud services in an environment that is as skeptical as the comments in this thread, with less money to burn and a smaller pool of developers.

The magical advantage of hyperscaler is not price but that new business ideas can be tried much faster with no need for hardware investments. They can keep running when a moment of social media attention brings a huge amount of new customers. An outage doesn’t matter if everybody else is also down.

Of course the hyperscaler knows which apps are cash cows, as does the Android team, as do the credit card companies. Europe is not prepared for that future. As the CEO says, we can do what is left, supply chain optimizations, unless there is a fundamental change.

Who is going to finance it? Google and Microsoft barely could break into AWS market. There is a huge portfolio of services to write. 450 million is not much if the others have 4 billion customers.

It’s network effects and the winner takes it all. Google and AWS are only in rhe market because they have a ridiculous amount of money to burn and the customer relations to pry away their share of the market.

Of course it is strategically crucial. That’s why Microsoft and Google got involved. The EU is very late to the game. They must have noticed that China has built a competitor but they didn’t start moving. Europe must invest more than Oracle, who also have money and customers, but not enough.

The problem is that China has one billion customers. If Europe and USA split further it could happen that each company could be too small for the next level.

I would’t call them cloud data centers. Those existing European data centers can’t be what the CEO is talking about when he is speaking of development.

Competition to cloud services like AWS lambda and such doesn’t exist. That’s what has to be developed and established in the market.

Technically he is not wrong. Where should the scale come from? Europe also doesn’t have the software companies that would use the [cloud] data centers [and their cloud services].

The big question is why Europe was asleep while the US were building their dominating position?

[edit]

Then think about why it wasn’t a huge issue directly after the election.

Syria was conquered by anti-Hamas forces. Others are also playing chess.

Only if the summary is included in the training data.
