<p>I agree, it shouldn't be. Particularly as I can't imagine them removing reviews if it praised a feature that was subsequently removed or changed.</p>

<p>I don't see MAGA surviving post Trump.<p>I'd say it will morph, and elements will remain in the republican party but not intact.<p>Trump is a huge magnetising force but without him, it doesn't really have anyone else. Sure people like Vance will try to further their own ambition but none of them will succeed in taking on the mantle and keeping it as the force is today.</p>

<p>A few here have commented on different aspects, and they have their part to play but I agree with you, market fragmentation is the scale killer.<p>From an outside perspective it might appear like Europe is a true single market like the US but it isn't. Scaling to a European level isn't impossible but it is difficult. Some of that will just be difficult to do anything about, language, different cultures, etc. 
On the political side I'm sure there is plenty more the EU can do but I don't see the will.</p>

<p>I don't agree with that framing. It reads more as saying what Google did was worse than it appears, not waving away.<p>Whatever your own opinion, Google did it out of what they perceived to be good intentions (and very likely business sense given a global audience for their products). Yet their intentions directly lead to unintended consequences. Google is being a baby with a gun in essence. Like he says, what if they decide to ask it to solve climate change and it decides to wipe humans out?<p>Obviously it's still very theoretical and can't do anything like that, but the point is more that perhaps Google doesn't have the culture necessarily to truly interrogate their actions.</p>

<p>While I'd say so, I don't think in the medium future it would have made much difference.<p>China wants ensure control over strategic elements anyway. I suspect that the west has started betting on China intending to primarily rely on domestic production. Possibly to preempt the future, avoid companies getting entangled further, and slow China down even if just marginally, the west has settled this policy. I say west but this is more a US thing, Europe was more reluctant to follow it.</p>

<p>I wouldn't classify that as wholly accurate. Yes there is a substantial rural community but that's quite true for lots of Ireland. Letterkenny in Donegal has a sizeable tech sector for a small place although one with an unfortunate road network far too small for the traffic it gets. Internet was pretty standard when I lived there, nothing to write home about but not slow. Amenities aren't going to be extensive of course so if you're used to a city you'd find it sparse.<p>The other aspect is, while Donegal is more remote to the rest of the Republic, Derry in Northern Ireland is a city right beside it and is generally considered part of the overall area. North west that is, it's not within Donegal itself.<p>I can't speak for the islands though.</p>

<p>But they aren't selling at their original price, Russia is now selling to those partners at a reduced price.<p>At the very least it reduces the amount of funds Russia has at its disposal for the war.</p>

<p>Being from Europe, my perspective might be as biased as American fatalism but as the article says I think the key most important aspect is lacking a true single market and I'm sceptical of us ever achieving it.<p>The more we fall behind the more we'll cling to tradition and avoid further integration, a continuous cycle.</p>

Not ideal I know (I'm stuck with a minor bug) but it's half the price of toolbox for an industry standard tool.</p>

<p>I think the democratic aspect can be overemphasised. The Weimar Republic lasted only 15 years and lurched from crisis to crisis. It was rife with political violence, several attempted uprisings, military with questionable loyalty to this new government, economy in taters, so politically unstable that rule by decree had effectively become the norm.<p>Democracy didn't prevent his rise, but democracy was barely existent.</p>
