  • Absolutely, Canada has now even made defense agreements with EU joining the EU SAFE program, and very early on trade agreements were expanded.They have been very active rerouting export goods hit by US tariffs away from USA to other destinations, helped by the government paving the way for these new trade routes.

    I can see from other comments that some Canadians don't think the government has done enough, but I doubt they are aware of the speed the Canadian government has acted with, these things are very difficult to do quickly.

    Look for instance on the trade agreement between south America and EU, it has taken 25 years to make!!Canada has already made several international trade agreements beneficial to Canada in less than a year.The fact that they are also looking into buying fighter jets from Swedish SAAB a non US country is also a very big deal. Which I as an EU citizen really hope goes through, because it seems like such a good deal on cooperation on sharing technology and make better planes on both sides. With SAAB and Canada partnering, instead of Canada just becoming a customer.

    The net result of it all is that despite US sanctions against Canada, the Canadian economy has grown more than the US economy in 2025!

    EDIT PS:Technically the US GDP growth is slightly higher than Canada, but that is driven by the AI bubble, the real economy of USA when not counting AI is slowing down, as can clearly be seen on lack of job creation that falls far behind the increase in population.

  • Ensure women and girls are safe

    Why not boys? Could have been included by writing children for instance. Sexist very much?

  • There is no way less than 100 pm can make sense.

  • In the future light may be a possibility, and light is merely a photon, and you can have photons basically follow the same paths in each direction simultaneously without colliding.So without in any way being an expert, I would think that if light can somehow be controlled precisely enough, that would be a possibility to go way below what any atom can. Even if the paths need to be directed by atoms.But AFAIK there is not a practical working model for that yet, although research on it has been going on for decades.

  • AFAIK the smallest usable atom is about 150 picometer carbon, and the smallest amount of atoms theoretically possible to make a transistor is 3, so there is (probably) no way to go below 450 picometer. There is probably also no way to actually achieve 450 picometer which is the same as 0.45 nanometer.So the idea that they are currently going below 2nm is of course untrue, but IDK what the real measure is?

    What they are doing at the leading chip manufacturing factories is amazing, so amazing it's kind of insane. But it's not actually 2nm.

    Just for info, one silicon/silicium atom is 0.2 nm.

  • We use a Linux media computer for all our watching, the TV is used as nothing more than a simple monitor. So if our TV does that, jokes on them, because all the metrics they can get is when we turn it on and off and that we watch through HDMI at the TV max resolution. 🤣🤣🤣

    I stopped watching traditional TV 25 years ago, 2nd best decision I ever made, after marrying my wife. 😀

  • I'm pretty sure Canada knows exactly the same things Scandinavian countries do.I'm from Denmark, the warmest of the Scandinavian countries, and we've used grovel too when temperatures go below where salt has any effect, but we've also begun to use it because it's more environmentally friendly.

    We just had 20cm snow in our 4th largest city, and of course life goes on, with very little disruption.20 cm may have become rare now here, but it used to be way more common, and obviously in Sweden Norway and Finland it is way way more common than in Denmark.

    We also have regulation that if you drive when it's snowing or icy, you must have winter or all season tires on your car.But if you wait until the roads are cleared, you can still use summer tires. But again we are the warmest of the Scandinavian countries, and conditions here are not as extreme as in Canada, for that the other Scandinavian countries should just about cover it.

    It's fine to share knowledge with Canada, we may be able to learn from each other, but there is nothing new in what was posted here. And I bet countries like Austria, Germany Switzerland and even Italy have similar experience with handling snow as we do in Scandinavia.

    Europe is not like UK, where they put water pipes on the outside of houses to make them easier to repair when frost make them burst.

  • I hope Iran will make a 2nd attempt at democracy, and that they will succeed this time.

  • Your focus is to narrow. What about all his accomplices, the other ICE agents that were there and didn't immediately arrest him?

  • Maybe if we try more tax cuts for the rich?

  • There are so many problems in this article.

    But the expansion - driven by steady consumer spending and a growth in exports

    With a 4.3% increase in GDP and growing exports, the consumer spending should not be steady but increasing.

    just 49,000 roles per month in 2025, down from an estimated gain of 168,000 a month the year before.

    OK that sounds pretty bad for a job market of around 171 million workers. That's only 1/3‰ And only 600,000 new jobs for the year with an estimated population growth of 1.6 million!

    Employers added 50,000 jobs in the final month of 2025

    Now this is REALLY bad!! December is normally the highest job creation month of the year due to the holidays.December being only average, and only a third of the average the previous year, and job creation being only a third the population growth indicates an actually declining economy of workers per capita!

    Despite this we know the GDP rose 4.3%, but that is very much inflated by AI which may be a bubble and has signs of trickling out, as major companies have difficulties monetizing AI.

    But the unemployment rate dipped to 4.4%.

    Unfortunately we also know that many people are currently leaving the job market as people give up on finding a job, so instead they try to create a better work/life balance:https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/08/economy/us-jobs-report-preview-december

    I've mentioned this before, but I expect job numbers for January and February to be horrible. And the idea that the Trump is good, will probably be shown to be clearly false.

  • Apple didn't do shit except maybe increase the TSMC bottom line.TSMC continuously made the best most reliable independent process at scale since the iPhone came out, and Apple paid to get the combination of reliability and performance.

    In about 2016 TSMC surpassed even Intel because Intel stumbled on their 10nm process. But at the time TSMC passed Intel, Apple was only about 10-15% of TSMC revenue.

    At the same Time AMD became a major customer, and Nvidia has also mainly used TSMC apart from a short period where they used Samsung.

    The success of TSMC is because of TSMC skill and business tenacity, not because of Apple or any other customer.Apple basically had 3 places to go, after they asked Intel and Intel said no.Global foundries, a company already struggling, and tied to supply AMD.Samsung A company with wearying quality and output in the highest end of their capability.TSMC A company with years of showing high stability at volume, and the leader on performance for independent production, and with high trustworthiness.

    The idea of Apple making their own foundry at the time would have been insane. They simply chose the best as most other high performance high volume chip customers did.

    Now TSMC is the undisputed leader, with Samsung and Intel playing catch-up as TSMC now leads in performance, yield and volume production.

    Yes smartphones helped TSMC achieve the revenue required, but it wasn't Apple as a customer that made TSMC into what they are today, TSMC was getting there even before Apple became a major customer.What really helped TSMC though, was that Intel initially discarded the idea of making the chip for Apple, because Intel saw it as a low profit margin market, which they had no interest in.So TSMC was helped by the arrogance of the only chip manufacturer that was better than TSMC.

  • repost

  • It is the case, they are just not generally saying it out loud.Germany is participating in all EU programs to curb dependence on USA, and are as active as everybody else in EU.There's a lot of holding back regarding saying what they mean, because it's better for this ugly divorce to happen gradually, and prevent it from getting uglier than it has to be, because EU is not ready to cut ties with USA yet.But Europe is preparing to not having to take shit from USA anymore. And these preparations are made easier by Trump undermining USA's economy and political influence globally.AFAIK after WW2 the US economy was almost a third of the global economy, and now it is only about a fifth. The economic dominance of USA is declining, and with it, the political dominance will decline too, and with declining economy, their military will also decline.We just have to stop propping the US economy up with continued investments in it. And by we I mean all other countries and especially democracies.

  • Sounds like both seriously lacked the necessary health care.

    So "necessary" because living in a shit country.
