crnflke.bsky.social @crnflke.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Containers are pretty much everywhere nowadays - k8s is built on them and tools like snap are used on desktop Linux for sandboxing - I think docker itself is less visible but the tech is everywhere 110 1
crnflke.bsky.social @crnflke.bsky.social · 09/07/2026My current (2016) car has a speed limiter that you can set. Makes it a lot easier to keep to 20 or so as it just stops it accelerating when you hit the set speed. I must admit it's really hard now to drive without it. 130 3

crnflke.bsky.social @crnflke.bsky.social · 03/04/2025So for proper trade agreements there are rules of origin, but most of the time without a trade agreement there's usually just a flat rate. This will be a mess 100 1
crnflke.bsky.social @crnflke.bsky.social · 31/03/2025Is there the prospect that we might slightly benefit from the EU tariffs on the US? For example, if EU firms switch to British manufacturers (from US ones)? (Obviously this might well be completely outweighed by recession) 100 1
crnflke.bsky.social @crnflke.bsky.social · 27/03/2025It feels pretty thin, and I also don't quite see how you get to 25% with that, because the EU generally has a larger state sector as well (and thus has higher taxes generally). You could look at what the tax burden looks like on similar businesses for exports I guess to come up with real numbers 000 0
crnflke.bsky.social @crnflke.bsky.social · 27/03/2025I think (and I might be torturing it out of this) - that the argument is something like this: EU takes a large percentage of its tax take in VAT, whereas the US does not. Thus the US has to have higher tax rates elsewhere which impact businesses - so they are at a disadvantage 110 1
