Which ones?

I have no relations with TikTok. I am in furious at the EU politicians, and laws in general in the West. I am pro-Western but the laws are ruining us.

I definitely don't work for TikTok. I don't know the details. But the fine is way too much regardless.

These are EU laws that only pertain to the EU. US has different laws.

"quite" high? Are you serious. These fines are unbelievable.

Especially when you consider that it was stopped 3 years ago.

Ok, in this one case, it's not that vague. But GDPR in general is extremely vague. Digital Markets Act, extremely vague.

Large corporations are definitely being subject to *unjust* exercise of authority. "Hardship" on a corporation doesn't really apply at the scale of very large corporations because the "hardship" is spread out among the many, many shareholders and stakeholders of the successful company; of course, it's not to be seen - it's a relatively successfully company being attacked, in comparison to non-successful companies not being attacked, so hardship isn't to be seen - but the unjustment is still completely there.

The oppressor is the lawmaker, who has infinite power over the corporations. "oppressed corporations" is a phenomenon that can and does exist in this context.

This is the real problem. We stopped building cities. Yet population continues to grow.

Government need to stop blaming failures of society on anything, anything at all -- anything that isn't them.

No, they go public because they need more funding. They need more funding because they're not profitable. The reason 100% is because they didn't build a profitable business out of open source, so they have to change it to try to build something sustainable once opportunities for funding run out.

A really great content

By no means do I believe the problems stem from our corporations. Instead, the problems stem from the government, "social" policies, high taxes, etc. Our corporations are not the problem.

These laws are bad for a lot of reasons. One thing is certain: they will drive up prices. The Tech companies usually pass the costs on to comply with this stuff onto the users, naturally.

What a nightmare. The state(s) are becoming total insane.

I think actually more newsworthy here is that only 66% of Americans want extended holidays haha

> The best way anyways to maintain a minimum social level is with persistent and healthy growth.

This one is just logical. As society continues to grow and expand, then there's more available to lift the poor out of poverty.

The other points I made arise primarily out of my experiences living in Germany and US in connection with my understandings. There might information somewhere, but I can't point to them now, sorry.

But I do highly recommend the following book for other very interesting social/political ideas: Urantia. (The social/political ideas start later in the book, not right at the start.)

Thank you.

In my personal experience, health care in Europe is of considerable less quality than in the US.

It doesn't maintain anything. It redistributes money from the wealthy to the poor, but a large amount of that money gets lost on other things. Then, when it does reach the poor, it doesn't actually help them motivate their life - they become dependent on government funding.

Taxes put tremendous stress on the working class. Socialism oppresses the working class.

The best way anyways to maintain a minimum social level is with persistent and healthy growth.

It does reach the majority. People in the US, even the poor people, are way more wealthy than Europeans.

Yeah, but these are not the changes we need. This is more of the same - going in the wrong direction.

Regulation is not helping Europe. It helps them perhaps on the surface, but if you look beyond the lines, regulation (along with taxes) is like an anchor to Europe's growth. (I live in Germany)

I think you're being a little aggressive. It's a company, and they have to make money. Their stuff was opensourced, the good stuff will get forked, no need to hate Hashicorp.

> Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair.

Don't agree with that. That's really aggressive man. Hashicorp has built some awesome stuff, and tried to make a business based on Open Source. They haven't broken any contracts or done anything immoral - it's their choice.

I could probably provide 10 reasons. I listed two: because there exists Kubernetes, and now because Nomad is under BSL.

Also, let's keep in context that HCP has an Accumulated Deficit of .8 Billion dollars, and it loses 50 million a Quarter, they're nowhere near becoming profitable, and changes like this, switching from MPL to BSL is just the beginning.

They now have a shit ton of code across all their projects, and they're never going to be able to maintain it all, given their need to make profit.

I'm not going to write a story for you explaining everything in detail, sir.

It's just some forum where I can freely voice my opinion. It doesn't need to be backed by a book of reasons, nor does my loose opinion in such a context undermine my integrity in the slightest.

Cheers

I think I know enough to make the statement, actually. I don't know enough to tell some random person not use it. Think about that. I at least uphold the integrity to be honest with you!

TBH I don't know anything about Nomand. Feel free to use it. That might be good for you, I certainly don't want to deter you. All I meant was that I didn't think Nomad would survive in the Long Term a change of license from MIT to BSL, when there also exists Kubernetes.

On the contrary, I think Terraform will survive in form or another. Either the BSL license will be lenient enough or people will fork Terraform and support it.

Nomad is a dead product. I think Terraform has hope though

The downgrades seems accurate to me. With how unstable the world is, I don't think any entity should have AAA rating. The US I agree also has severe "deterioration of governance" in my opinion.

What I find despicable is that Yellen ignores all of this and calls the downgrade "arbitrary". This is a slap in the face to the credibility of independence of the credit agency when the residing US Treasury Secretary tries to impose her opinion to deflate the agencies move.

Standard & Poor's downgrades its rating of the US credit rating from AAA to AA+ 10 years ago. And it's still at that.

Taiwan will be invaded no matter what.
