You only have a copper 'industry' if you have copper in the ground. US has a lot in Arizona. It mines it. But it's not enough. Even a 200% tariff isn't going to change the reality of where we get our commodities."

It’s a Court with a very clear vision of who matters and who needs protection.
The majority opinion in "Trump v. C…

"This isn’t to say that AI is uniformly bad—it’s clearly not—but that we must not fall into the trap of mistaking the outputs of writing (…) from the value of the cognitive process of writing (…).
It would be a catastrophically unwise decision for humanity to abandon a key step in training young brains simply because they can now clack a few keys and produce something that sounds intelligent even as they never become intelligent."

So I think the idea is to keep dropping buttons and keys from laptop keyboards until everything is just a tablet? RIP dedicated pgup/pgdn keys.

On Sunday afternoon I went to a poetry reading in NW8 that had a piece performed by 12 players, one of whom was Stewart Lee, portraying the ghost of the elephant Chunee who was executed by firing squad and bayonet in London in 1826.

RIP Chunee
"Want to import toxic chemicals into Britain with scant scrutiny? Labour says: go right ahead"
George Monbiot explains:
"Yes, these proposals might reduce costs for business. But the inevitable result is to transfer them to society. ...
"Many have paid with their lives, health, education or livelihoods for previous “bonfires of red tape”: through the Grenfell Tower disaster, filthy rivers, collapsing classrooms, consumer rip-offs and the 2008 financial crisis. But as long as these costs can be shifted off corporate and current government balance sheets, that is deemed a win for business and win for the Treasury."
