I think it's rather naïeve to think that nation states are going to be the main actors of this battle.
If you get some banks and companies trying to enforce compliance to a regulatory system, maybe. Anything outside of that does not cause a war in my mind.
I mean the oligopoly of labour markets globally (especially for tech) has really not changed and there is less VC cash out there to sate people who want to work for their own vision.
Mixed success. For google it has been somewhat a failure but the business model for disrutpion was exported and a few companies have been able to take root.
A few weed like companies (resiliant but too small) have popped up to cover how the landscape never really changed.
US foreign policy on telecoms, freedom of speech, ect is full on clown car right now.
Special interests are so cram packed we cant even see the windshield of the car we're driving.
Im starting to agree that US should or potentially could have a larger share on the legwork for telecoms, fiber, and community servicing. I'm not sure how long starlink ect will be competitive with the bandwith, total information speeds in the future.
In my opinion the claim of persecution based on origin is unfounded. The apps have demonstrated potentially illegal actions by gathering the data how they do. I don't think they are the only ones that do this in the market but that is besides the case. I hope more get unmasked. This EO may produce precedent in regining intrusive borederline illegal spying (intrusive data gathering) via social media sites and applications. POTUS does have the power to reign in companies operating in the US market especially when demonstrating potential harm to citizens.
I'm worried about the asymmetry of enforcement as much as you are. However, I wouldn't put it past the current POTUS to do something stupid and invalidate his athority.
> In the new study, published today in npj Science of Learning, researchers significantly improved the ability of native English speakers to distinguish between Mandarin tones by using precisely timed, non-invasive stimulation of the vagus nerve—the longest of the 12 cranial nerves that connect the brain to the rest of the body. What's more, vagus nerve stimulation allowed research participants to pick up some Mandarin tones twice as quickly.
I'd rather have the Chinese learn english than to have a device tickle my cranial nerves.
