>As I recall, it was the UK who insisted that that particular bit of regulation was included.
Regulations can be changed,
That surely is the whole point of working within a sensible, democratic, efficient and technocratic organisation such as the Eu.
Neither side would retreat to childish blocking of cooperation for public point scoring or to further political gains in other areas
>Alternatively they can just leave a note for the SWAT team that they've upped sticks and gone
The people working on it are still mostly in the USA, it is only the brass plaque that has moved to toblerone land. The list of companies involved (STM, NVIDIA, IBM) still need to stay off Uncle Sam's naughty list.
If a Chinese company wanted to use RISC it probably doesn't matter to them if the lawyer they are ignoring is a redneck or a gnome.
Because it doesn't make any difference.
The USA can still ban the export and explain to the directors that their employers can also go on the naughty list if they don't cooperate
Of course anyone involved can explain the niceties of Swiss incorporation and international jurisdiction to the SWAT team coming through their door.
No problem they can just hire contractors to do all those jobs.
I'm assuming contract real estate professionals in markets like NY and London are very cheap.
Then you can get the cheapest slave labor cleaners and maintenance contractors - nothing says luxury business space like having a single below minimum wage illegal immigrant per building
Surely that's good for the poor confused consumer
Instead of trying to compare dozens of different plans from different providers they can be assured that their Brand X phone supplied by Provider X will only work with Provider X's network.
And we can ban the import of all those commie phones that might work across networks - for reasons of national security you understand
Speed record for a rocket powered train is 6400 mph so London to Edinburgh in 5mins
Of course this was unmanned so might have some union difficulties
And you might not be able to stop before Aberdeen.
But the idea of building effectively a hypersonic railgun pointed at Edinburgh and London might appeal to both parliaments
Because just like an iPhone, making it serviceable makes it much bigger, heavier and more expensive. Parts that can be swapped while wearing a space suit aren't exactly compact.
Hubble is reckoned to have cost 3x as much to make it man serviceable (although some of that was NASA being dumb)
Especially for interpol I imagine they could write the rules so they only need a warrant from one country.
I'm sure the USA would have no problem handing over encryption keys for an Iranian or Chinese warrant. Just like they would have no problem with chinese intelligence agency having a backdoor to the president's iPhone
No BSE, no parasites, no salmonella, no antibiotics, no accidental incorporating condemned horse meat
It may be missing some trace vitamins and minerals, but I'm not eating "artificial" meat for safety might start to look a bit anti-vax
The beyond-meat (veggie burgers that bleed) aren't bad. If you're veggie they aren't as good as best veggie burgers. But if you eat meat they are at last as good as the worst fast-food burgers
With a bit more work and a bit cheaper they will easily replace meat in fast food.
They can be made months in advance, shipped from wherever in the world is cheapest, don't need refrigeration or careful handling, almost no risk of food poisoning, no religious objections.
I don't see the same advantages for vat grown "real" meat.
Vat grown fish would be incredible though. If you could make Sushi grade fish, guaranteed fresh and no worms, without destroying ocean stocks
>Who says? First I've heard of it. Honestly, where do you lot get your information, anyway?
The Anti-Defamation League the major US authority on hate crimes
Anti-defamation League Hate Symbols Database
(or a bunch of zionist reactionaries if you are a Labour MP)
