Disenshittificare il nostro paese: come difendersi da Trump, guadagnare miliardi di dollari e costruire una nuova, globale, buona rete Internet. L'intervento di Cory Doctorow al Digital Government Leaders Summit del 2026 di Ottawa

Non abbiamo alcuna speranza di controllare ciò che fanno le Big Tech, ma c'è una cosa su cui abbiamo il controllo totale e assoluto: ciò che facciamo. Non dobbiamo permettere alle aziende americane di ricorrere ai nostri tribunali per chiudere le nostre aziende quando screditano i loro prodotti difettosi. Le nostre leggi sono sotto il controllo totale e definitivo del nostro paese. Se abroghiamo il recepimento del DMCA statunitense e legalizzeremo il jailbreak, libereremo i nostri tecnologi e imprenditori, e faremo a meno di quei prodotti americani scadenti.

Since the number of levels in the tree is generally small compared to the number of buffers, this paging scheme will ensure that the root page is always present in memory; and if the root has only 2 or 3 children, the first-level pages will almost surely stay there too. Any pages that might need to be split during an insertion are automatically present in memory when they are needed, because they will be remembered from the immediately preceding search.

"the first-level pages will almost surely stay there too" this is not a serious analysis bro you've been riding people's coattails for way too long!!!!

What do you think the US will do when its debt becomes too large? Just rob other states of their gold. https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16099075/Netherlands-moves-gold-US-geopolitical-unrest.html

The Netherlands moves 86 tonnes of gold out of US due to 'geopolitical unrest' as experts warn it is 'no longer safe' under Trump

Moving these stores to British soil would 'spread risks' and would ensure the 'quickest' opportunity for DNB to deploy the sale of gold 'in a crisis situation', the Dutch central bank said.
