Actually, with Trump in the Office, "AI/Data Sovereignty" is quite a strong market forces. From Europe point-of-view, any US company is a potential risk (hello Starlink)

;-)

Actually, I got both:

- Cheap VPS is nice for electric & network reliability (mail servers, public facing website or webapp)

- local hosting is nice for price/control/internal tools (some git and maven, different tools)

Can we talk about features like JavaFX being free (community) before and then starting to become paid ("ultimate" version) after update ?

Of course without telling: "while upgrading, you will loose functionalities except by buying our new edition"

Obvisouly, with the current US Administration, EU will fully trust US to process the datas of its citizen in a way that respect the ... US interests ! And Europe will trust the US to be a partner more than a competitor ... like being fair, respect its own words and international laws ... :-D

So, now: comply / be fined / or get out (and we'll be fine, thanks)

In that regard, US is obviously Europe's enemy, isn't it ? ;-) :-D

Actually, I dont need a "smart newsfeed" to hear about Trump. Smart is not about who is doing the show every day, it's about what's important and may be missed

Hi

First, it's a great idea! The "introductory" speech is interesting then... the result is really disappointing :-(

You see: I'm French (and European). So, I don't necessarily consider that "Trump" is the center of the "World" (actually quite the opposite). However, on the "World" tab, 50% of the news are about "Trump". I would have thought that the aim of this kind of newsfeed is to challenge Trump tactic's of "newsroom saturation". In particular in that tab (Trump can be the alpha & omega for the USA tab)

Actually, you can't neither read that or the opposite from the graphs: it doesn't if the new code is for new functionalities or if it's to replace (without deleting) some old code.

But you're right: that would be a particularily useful information

All about time is about the use of time. So what is your use-case?

Time is either some "point in time" (like a date) or "duration". Your use-case is not the first one because a "point in time" is bound to a location (it 10am in Paris,FR ... not 10am). As a duration, it's only really usable as a duration inside the same 24h period... and for this everybody already has the second. The replacement of a base 86400 by a base 100000 does not really seem to me as a game-changer (not for computer and not really for humans either) so I don't think that anybody will take the time to use it somewhere.

I think that if you want to work on "time", you could help with 2 "hard" problems :

* calendars : the main PITA is more that months dont have the same length in days (not even for the same month in case of february) and neither the same number of "workable" days. Some calendars try to help by using 13 * 28 days month (each month=7 days weeks... so same count of workable days). That kind of calendar is used in finance I think but not really sure

* outside earth (meaning lunar, martian... really Universal) time duration & calendar : for now, our calendar and time mesurement is based on earth rotation on itself (night/day succession) and around the sun (seasons succession). These notions dont have a lot of sense on earth or on mars... or outside our solar system... So: should we use some kind of percentage of total revolution or that kind of thing ?

I think that tackling that kind of problem could be more a game changer that building a system to replace 1 second by a pulse with a duration of 0.864 second. YMMV

Seriously ???? Did you buy JD Vance on "free speech" in EU ? Actually, you should get better information (and a link to the EU Commission website is nothing if you dont read or understand it... it's only the old FUD)

Right now, the POTUS is so much reducing freedom in US that it's enough for him to say that it doesn't like something (like DEI) for a lot of companies to trash DEI in the hope to please him. And it's enough for the WaPo to change what will be the content of its "opinion" pages...

And EU is the one reducing freedom ?????? You should really wake up guys

Sadly, that money will be wasted:

* that money will go to "big corp" who know and have to time to build application forms... even if they don't have the knowledge ("take the money and run")

* that money wont to the "real disruptors" that are small corps because they don't have time or knowledge to build application forms to get the money

So you bought an iPhone because of its "(product) design" (how it fullfill your needs) and not about "marketing" (how to define the markets for a product and why people in these marketing will buy it...).

As I understand it, for example, there's markets for "broken watches": it can be

* broken luxury watches: to have a "rich man look" without paying the full price

* for hobbyist watch-repair

* for professional watch ressellers (after repair)

* for educational / museum...

As far as design is concerned, the watch is broken. But it can be sold if you find who will buy it and why... and that's marketing

Jobs was a great designer too... (and/or knew how to hire great designers and let them get out the best of them)

The OP mentioned: "This provision requires large online platforms to provide researchers with immediate access to publicly available data on their platforms in order to assess systemic risks"

> So if I run a large online shop I need to provide an API so anyone can download all of my product descriptions and prices?

> If I publish an online magazine, I need to provide an API so anyone can download all the content I produce?

How is your online shop a "systemic risk" ? Moreover "large online platforms" is a clearly defined term... not your usual website

So please: keep cool... We, Europeans, are not always stupid bureaucracy lovers. Sometimes we also have good ideas to try to preserve our shared freedom and rights and democracy :-)

"Companies that are found to be using any of the above AI applications in the EU will be subject to fines, regardless of where they are headquartered. They could be on the hook for up to €35 million (~$36 million), or 7% of their annual revenue from the prior fiscal year, whichever is greater."

US did a real gift to the world with "extra-territorial" laws: now EU use it everywhere too !!!! :-)

Sooooo... the GAFAM either will have to "limit" some of their AI system when used in EU (NOT including EU citizen that may be abroad, but including foreign citizen in the EU) or to be fined.

And I guess that this kind of fines may accumulate with GDPR for example...
