<p>I remember times before NAT and SSL<p>You could share things easily, sure, but anyone could get hacked pretty easily and very targetted.<p>After NAT, sharing was still easy lots of 'piracy' apps, various messengers with NAT passthrough<p>Both before and after you needed to be technical, you can't ask someone that doesnt know about computers to set up an FTP server, and if they did it would be a nightmare and they'd likely share their whole drive<p>Same goes for anything else.<p>Anyway, we'll get the whole non-nat with IPv6, let's see what that brings</p>

<p>So what's wrong with that phrase?<p>Norway collectively owns its 'key economic drivers'.<p>Is that a bad thing?, they're still capitalistic, just with better respect for its people.<p>You probably collectively own things via the stock market too.</p>

<p>> Basically, the whole talk about retaliatory tariffs is silly.<p>Why?, retaliatory - in response to US, tarriffs - taxes, whether on export or import, as you noted, doesnt matter much. Effect depends on who needs to either sell or buy the tarrifed items the most.</p>

<p>Tarriffs will hurt your existing industries, they will lose sales/revenue.<p>Since you are getting hurt you play tit-for-tat to get the other to knock it off.<p>So you add export taxes to items they care about (oil/fertilizer/...) and compensate the losses incurred by existing industries.<p>You also add tarriffs on items that have alternatives, like alcohool.<p>Maybe add tarriffs on items with elastic prices, say 100% tarriff on digital services. Software services will have to adjust prices so they end up the same after tarriffs since few people will accept youtube or netflix doubling in price.<p>This hurts both countries but will get a result - either free trade or no trade.<p>In the meanwhile, Trump's entourage has derivative bets on this and take massive proffits shorting everyone. For them, this is all massively profitable.</p>
