There’s always Zoom…
connection is very clear. the only purpose of legislation is to drive away firms that Europe consider not usefull for them. Not even Pandemic is changing there mind. rather Europe feel confident that technology is not so difficult so they can replace in it with due time. but Asian products they cannot replace so further investment in that direction.
Replace Google and Facebook with what? French perfume and wine?

Europe has own search engine and maps… They are already installing components into Samsung and Chinese phones.
you need to come out from 7X7 bubble and understand why Euro and British pounds are increasing in value despite tremendous imports from Asia and huge amount of money spending into next generation technologies not just bailouts.

Qwant? What the heck is it? Doesn’t even show up in EU market share stat… Google, the one you said is not important, has 93% market share.
Does Qwant use chips from the make-believe Russian fabs?
I dont know how this statistics are compiled. Yandex is much bigger in Europe than 1.33%.
As i said Europe wont be doing this if they not confident of replacing it. They have replaced alot other things.
Y-DATA is designed by the Yandex School of Data Science and taught at Tel Aviv University campus by top-notch experts from the academy and the industry. The program is localized to enhance the Israeli tech community and the global AI ecosystem.
Stat that doesn’t confirm your fantasy is obviously fake news, right? You can continue to believe in fake Russian fabs and fake European search engines that have more than 1% market share.
Meanwhile in the real world we have real money to make in real companies.
Your links has same value as Apple production estimates that comes out from Asia from time to time to boost the Stock market. Israel and Europe/Russian speaking world has special connection. the rest you can deduce if you smart. As i said Europe would not implement such rules if they not confident of replacement.
do you know whats different between Elon Musk products and this one?. This one launched from near to Arctic circle not in South near equator. These are real products not built with imported software and components from Europe. There is much more coming in. It is Asian wealth that is propelling real spending in Europe. not some small shacks that has no value.
Can you explain what does the above line mean? Asia (which country in specific?) is propelling spending in Europe (which country - is it Germany? )
PS: I do not ridicule any effort that seems small and trivial at the beginning. For example, in 1998, when an IT manager introduced me to google, it was still a very unknown search engine. Google piggybacked on Yahoo until 2003. (or 2006 I cannot recall) when Yahoo had replaced inkotomi with google as the search engine at Yahoo.
They don’t need Facebook. And plenty of good alternatives to google already exists.
Parler, Gab, rumbler etc are already attracting lot of voices censored by Facebook, twitter and youtube etc. The process has started and an alternative ecosystem is already evolving.

Here’s the issue. Demcrats can’t do math and don’t think through the consequences of it.
The sports that generate profit fund all the sports that don’t make a profit. If athletes in profitable sports get 50% of the profit, then schools will have to cut the unprofitable sports. There are only ~20 athletic departments that are profitable. There were will be far fewer athletic scholarships to go around. Fewer scholarships that are benefitting women and minorities.
Yeah, remind me again how democrats are here to help women and minorities as they want to dramatically reduce the number athletic scholarships.

All Asia/Africa/Middleast is moving up North towards Europe and Russia. It is the opposite of Americans moving south towards Florida/Texas/Arizona from NewYork/ California.
. Europe bond yields are negative and currency is getting stronger. This two combination should tell you that flow of investments and people are moving there.
there are specific examples like Huawei and Samsung building new factories and new headquarters even expensive areas like Munich. (Compared that to SF commercial real estate that practically dead for foreign investors). There are tons of other examples in energy/aviation industry.
The point is Europe is preparing itself for digital age combined with carbon neutral.
There is no such thing as small effort in Europe context. They are attracting best and brightest now with world class infrastructure and practically universal health system. there is no discussion on stimulus checks or unemployment rather univesal basic income.
They are giving contracts what is best for there interests.
I really see that after Covid best days of USA at the global stage will be over. USD is already heading to toilet, check Bitcoin and gold prices which are not printed at whims of politicians. It’s even down almost 20% against other fiat currencies. If printing money was the way to prosperity everyone with a big printer would be prosperous.
China is letting US and USD survive because they need some crucial tech (@manch it’s not Google or FB or TSLA or AAPL, no one gives a shit about their tech. It’s the semiconductor stack and some fundamental software stack) in which US has leadership. Once China develops their own, the rein of US and USD is over. In 2-3 years at most.
@manch is well aware of semi stack. He invested tons of money in NVDA, AMD and TSM. I follow his lead into MU and NVDA, with lesser money ofc.
Google search and fb are easy to do and not essential to day to day life - I don’t use both of them. Anyhoo, China has BIDU (search) and WeChat. Also hot stuffs like DouYin (TikTok) and Toutiao.
He is clearly a rich man.

The US is a world leader because of its emphasis on free markets and free minds. Creativity comes from a free mind. So long as the people of the US have freedom of thought and freedom of markets, I do not think any country will displace the US from its lead. All other things you mentioned, like USD or Bitcoin, are accessories or artifacts. The fact that the US system has corrupted so much that a person can think of becoming a President by Systemic Cheating and Fraud is what makes me nervous. Tech is ephemeral and transitional. What is high-tech today will become obsolete tomorrow or will get replaced. No technology or process has lasted forever except for entrepreneurship, free mind, and free markets. These three are endangered in the US, and that is what makes me worried.

China does not have any problem with USD a but Chinese will prefer Euro becomes world reserve currency for short term before complete digital systems implemented.
All Chinese linvestments is connecting to Europe. from Europe much easier to Trade with Africa which has fastest growing population along with Middleast.
But does not that sound like China Wall syndrome. Excessive emphasis on security and technology which generally does not justify the end result?
You are joking right.
