I'd say it will morph, and elements will remain in the republican party but not intact.
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.
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.
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.
There is the expression in English, rubbing your/their hands with glee. All context dependent as for the physicality. Someone holding their hands tightly and rubbing them might be nervous for example. Someone fast moving them but not cold could be more joyous.
I don't agree with that framing. It reads more as saying what Google did was worse than it appears, not waving away.
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?
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.
While I'd say so, I don't think in the medium future it would have made much difference.
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.
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.
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.
That appears to show that the volume has returned but not its price.
"The revenue is still down 43% from a year ago, the IEA said, as Russia is forced to sell its barrels to a more limited pool of customers who can negotiate greater discounts."
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.
The more we fall behind the more we'll cling to tradition and avoid further integration, a continuous cycle.
I took a look at toolbox just now and seen they've only just got symmetry and stencils last month, which would make me worried about what other aspects they are currently missing.
There is a perpetual license for substance painter on steam, which although updates are only for that years version, is still permanent. Not ideal I know (I'm stuck with a minor bug) but it's half the price of toolbox for an industry standard tool.
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.
Democracy didn't prevent his rise, but democracy was barely existent.
What is more disappointing to me is the amount of general unpleasant comments under this tweet. I know there will be a bias in that this will be mostly those that follow him but even still, it doesn't give me much hope.
Fuchsia was announced around the time of the Google Vs Oracle case if I remember correctly. They said it had been in development for years but I guess the assumption of the public announcement was that it was directed at oracle.
Even customisable like your character's appearance.
This was one of my criticisms of Fallout 4, the voice actors weren't bad, it just didn't fit very well some player characters.
