Re: AMD

@Elvi_

It's not about no subsidy, it's about putting a cap on it. But we will see how it goes, eventually.

Greed and shortcuts above anything else to please the market and the owners.

It's a long time since Wilhelm Böing and his son William Boeing.

Re: With two-faced "friends" like Dyson, Britain doesn't need enemies

@heyrick

That was a bit odd, as you probably think that the other side, the government, is run by just one party like in Britain, but that is hardly ever the case, if actually ever as governments are run by coalitions. A president is supposed to leave party policy behind and some succeed better and some perhaps not that well.

And there are different presidential systems too.

Many old kingdoms in Europe like for instance Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium have managed to keep their monarchs and still produce democratic coalition governments of many parties.

The king is not the main problem with British democracy.

Roger Penrose has a nice theory I like about that.

Re: hmm

@R Soul

No such agreements were available for Britain with the demands Britain had.

Some yes, like Horizon but Boris didn't want that, nor the agreement with France on returning refugees to France.

May did have some more intelligence and realism but was down voted as I am sure you know.

Remember "no cherry picking".

The brexit most Brits voted for did not exist.

@ParlezVousFranglais

Wrong, the big 3 will have to agree to it, and they will.

Re: Oh dear!

I wonder why Britain was called "long-term holdout" in this article.

Re: This would almost be OK, if….

One question "Justthefacts", who do you actually think is funding countries and unions of countries if not the taxpayers.

Thinking about the money tree or something perhaps.

Re: @Snake - Oh, look

I think Ann Jones gets it right here;

"American author Ann Jones, who lived in Norway for four years, posits that "the Nordic countries give their populations freedom from the market by using capitalism as a tool to benefit everyone" whereas in the United States "neoliberal politics puts the foxes in charge of the henhouse, and capitalists have used the wealth generated by their enterprises (as well as financial and political manipulations) to capture the state and pluck the chickens.".

Re: Can I sue the EU

@DS999

I am sure you can sue the EU and you will win and they will decide that anybody can use their cookies just the way they like not to offend you.

Happy now.

But I do hope we could eventually define that in the browser we use but I am not too optimistic about it.

We are the product and changing that might be problematic.

"I was under the impression that EU subsidy rules meant that individual countries couldn't pick and choose which location incoming companies were to build,"

Oh dear, oh dear, do you seriously belive the EU Commission is who choose which location incoming companies were to build in.

How deeply brainwashed so many Brits still are regarding the EU.

I think I can recommend to you, Fintan O'Toole, in "The Politics of Pain"

The simple fact is that the biggest customers for chips in Europe are Germany and France and especially Germany has been ready to invest in that industry and those chip companies are also keen to invest in the right country.

Re: Herman Hauser and his views

"You should respect their views or declare that you do not believe in democracy.".

That was a lot of rubbish, you don't have to respect any of their views, but you have to accept they won the referendum.

Re: The H-1B Visa is Functioning as Intended.

"the purpose is to allow employers to get cheap foreign labor and push domestic wages down.".

I assume it is one of the reasons, and it's certainly eagerly used in some countries mostly among people who have nothing to with employing people. but I do think Dr. Michio Kaku knows something about what he is speaking about here many years ago.

And yes I dislike the use of "genius" in his speech.

Education for profit might not be a profitable longtime strategy.

Re: Record incompetence

@localzuk

Have a look and a listen to the government ministers, and ask no more.

The Wikipedia

@localzuk

I use the Wikipedia quite often and it's a gold mine of information, that is, for cold stable non political information.

Take for instance a thing like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon

it gets more risky and less reliable as soon as that information gets personal and is based upon opinions and affecting the way a topic is dealt with.

It's also often a good idea to compare the topics in several languages.

The Wikipedia could be miss used.

As they say, "information is power". So far so good, but why not have a look at it at times too.

Not quite, but a good number 3 with 18% aircraft engine market share.

https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/32417-who-are-the-world-s-largest-aircraft-engine-manufacturers

Has RR as number 3 with a 18% share of the market like also.

https://www.t4.ai/industry/aircraft-engine-market-share

The leading manufacturer in the Aircraft Engine Industry was CFM International with 39% market share in 2019, followed by Pratt & Whitney with 26% Aircraft Engine market share, Rolls-Royce with 18% aircraft engine market share, General Electric with 16% market share, and International Aero Engines with 1% share.

CFM International market share was 39% of the Aircraft Engine market in 2019. CFM International is a joint venture formed in 1976 between GE Aviation and Safran, a French manufacturer. CFM International's aircraft engine market share is led by its series of best-selling LEAP engines. The LEAP engine series is replacing the formerly industry-leading CFM-56 turbofan aircraft engines. Pratt & Whitney market share was 17.5% of the aircraft engine market share in 2019. Pratt & Whitney is an American aerospace manufacturer founded in 1925. It is a subsidiary of Aerospace & Defense giant, Raytheon. Pratt & Whitney collaborated with Rolls-Royce, Fiat Avio, Japanese Aero Engine Corporation and MTU Aero Engines to form International Aero Corporation, which produces the V2500 turbofan engine. Pratt & Whitney also collaborates with GE on the Engine Alliance to produce the GP 7200 turbofan engine for the Airbus A380 aircraft. Rolls-Royce's market share was 18% of the Aircraft Engine market in 2019.

Re: Pilot Error

@SundogUK

Yes but it's not that simple, take those cases when a pilot by accident has pressed something because his hand was for good reasons where it was and that he then also touched, by accident, that other thing.

Yes, that was his fault but it's also an indication that it might happen again, by accident, and that the layout of the cockpit might need to be altered.

There has been quite a lot of similar "problems".

@Roopee

A strong opinion for somebody who knows nothing about SAP or S/4HANA.

Re: Neither one nor the other.

"EU has a distinct lack of LNG terminals, and those aren't cheap or quick to build."

Yes but the reality is that they are built all the same, Several now up and running since the war started.

Finland got a new one very quickly by ordering a Floating Storage/Production LNG Tanker.
