During a discussion in the European Parliament, the European Central Bank president referenced a 2024 International Monetary Fund report that found that intra-EU barriers to trade amount to a 44% tariff on goods and a 110% duty on services – far above the punishing levies that US President Donald Trump has slapped on EU exporters over the last year.

Here are some cool examples I was looking at:

https://github.com/zardoy/minecraft-web-client — Minecraft in your browser, complete with connections to servers.

https://github.com/inolen/quakejs — quake 3 in your browser, has multiplayer as well.

Any other good examples? or good lists?

Last November, a 14-year-old Palestinian boy named Jad Jadallah was shot at close range by Israeli soldiers in a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

As Jad lay collapsed in an alley, the soldiers created a cordon around him and blocked two Palestinian ambulances from reaching him.

According to video footage and eyewitness testimony, the soldiers – 14 in total – then stood around Jad casually for at least 45 minutes while he bled from one or more gunshot wounds.

All Israeli soldiers receive training in trauma treatment, and any Israeli combat unit should contain a specifically trained medic, but none of the soldiers appeared to give Jad life-saving medical aid. At points, they appeared to ignore repeated attempts from Jad to get their attention.

Go to life's work and freak out and cause a scene until you have to be escorted off the premises.

Start a bunch of fake accounts and if life ever posts a photo of them with someone else comment, "Wow, you look so great here, you're going to make such a great parent to the kid we're going to have together."

Go to life's place and shout and scream at them. Smash all their stuff and call them every obscenity under the sun and say, "What are you going to do about this?"

Then they grab you by the arm and pull you close and say, "I'll find a way." And hearing them say that fills you with the confidence and comfort from the life you knew before.

Then life turns you around and grabs you in an arm bar and leads you to the corner of the room and reminds you why you loved life so much like lea-blush crush damn life panting ralsei-blush

The Trump administration has ordered U.S. diplomats to lobby against countries’ attempts to regulate how American tech companies handle foreigners’ data, arguing that data sovereignty laws threaten the advancement of AI services and technology, Reuters reported, citing an internal diplomatic cable.

The cable, signed by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, says such laws would “disrupt global data flows, increase costs and cybersecurity risks, limit AI and cloud services, and expand government control in ways that can undermine civil liberties and enable censorship,” according to the report.

The cable pushes diplomats to “counter unnecessarily burdensome regulations, such as data localization mandates.” It also orders them to track proposals that would promote data sovereignty laws, and urged diplomats to promote the Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules Forum, an international group that claims to enable “trusted data flows globally through international data protection and privacy certifications.”

DRAM pricing is what it is because AI investment frenzy is so intense. Western/NVIDIA centered AI will be more expensive too, because they are chasing so hard all of the memory (mostly) and TSMC capacity. Hurting all other computer companies. They can extort US/western customers even harder, making AI either more expensive or losing more money for their customers, by diverting/dumping H200/memory supply to abundantly powered Chinese customers, to try and slow down Huawei sales.

Chinese models have significantly closed the frontier gap, while far exceeding the value proposition of LLM service, and a cost increase for US customers will make the gap worse, and require a Skynet program to bail out the too big to fail AI bubble.

A handful of companies monopolise the web, with unprecedented access to our data. But there are many more ethical – and often distinctively European – alternatives

AB 1043, Wicks. Age verification signals: software applications and online services. Existing law generally provides protections for minors on the internet, including the California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act that, among other things, requires a business that provides an online service, product, or feature likely to be accessed by children to do certain things, including estimate the age of child users with a reasonable level of certainty appropriate to the risks that arise from the data management practices of the business or apply the privacy and data protections afforded to children to all consumers and prohibits an online service, product, or feature from, among other things, using dark patterns to lead or encourage children to provide personal information beyond what is reasonably expected to provide that online service, product, or feature or to forego privacy protections. This bill, beginning January 1, 2027, would require, among other things related to age verification with respect to software applications, an operating system provider, as defined, to provide an accessible interface at account setup that requires an account holder, as defined, to indicate the birth date, age, or both, of the user of that device for the purpose of providing a signal regarding the user’s age bracket to applications available in a covered application store and to provide a developer, as defined, who has requested a signal with respect to a particular user with a digital signal via a reasonably consistent real-time application programming interface regarding whether a user is in any of several age brackets, as prescribed. The bill would require a developer to request a signal with respect to a particular user from an operating system provider or a covered application store when the application is downloaded and launched. This bill would prohibit an operating system provider or a covered application store from using data collected from a third party in an anticompetitive manner, as specified. This bill would punish noncompliance with a civil penalty to be enforced by the Attorney General, as prescribed. This bill would declare its provisions to be severable.
