It made sense in an era when phones had little memory and bandwidth was scarce, but it makes no sense in 2025.

"Life finds a way" was a warning against meddling with poorly understood biological processes... exactly what you would be doing by completely eradicating mosquitos.

Did you also think of all the other species that primarly feed on mosquitos? I.e. swallows.

The EU is just writing the regulation, it's not tasking a specific company to implement it.
AWS already has several commercial regions in the EU that will keep working as they always did. If they decide to implement an EU sovereign cloud, it's because they see a market in it, not because some big bad government is forcing them.

He's a Trump stooge. He envisions the poor's culling through cannibalism, obviously.

Feel free to pull out.

Also, I don't see why so much fuss with AWS creating the EU version of the ITAR GovCloud that the US has since over a decade.
If US government and public institutions already expressed the need of having self-contained, sovereign AWS regions, why is it bad if the EU does the same?

No new products!

I hope you realize that what AWS is doing in the EU is equivalent to the ITAR GovCloud regions already existing in the US since over a decade.

Apparently American companies are more than willing to comply with EU policy in order to access its market.

No, they'll just ask AI to muck with it.

The Wheel of Time was the good fantasy series on Prime. I guess it made The Rings of Power look even worse in comparison.

40% is a number given by Amazon, not exactly a neutral player.
I bet that number gets thrown around a lot by their lobbyists in Bruxelles.

Old people get more conservative with age. More news at 11.

Why come over at all?

You're right, please don't come here! It's horrible!
