That is partly attributed to being by far the largest single market for much of the 20th century - European countries have at most ~30% of the population - and being the only major economy not destroyed by the end of WWII, which resulted in the US producing half of world GDP at the time.
US businesses have had a much larger market to sell to, and that attracts investment and talent.
A young country that inherited old values, cultural norms, traditions and ethos.
It’s not like the US rose in a vacuum. It sees impressive on its face and to some extent I believe it is, but it has more to do with being a resource rich nation (lots of plentiful raw material within our borders) and the fact the last time we had a foreign invasion was during the war of 1812.
We aren’t some near unbelievable anomaly of history, we built on our British roots
Both of those were funded by and built off of American technology and investment. TSMC as an outsourcing of American made chips and ASML as a direct result of DoD research.
ASML is responsible for all the engineering side of the research from EUV LLC, painting it as "direct result from DoD research" as to minimise the achievement is way backhanded. Without ASML the whole EUV LLC research would be dead in the water, it's a symbiotic relationship, and the amount of engineering R&D that ASML had to do to actually deploy the technology shouldn't be understated like that.
I don't think ASML was "funded" by American technology, it's actually ASML who has to pay for licencing...
They have the nickname Crimeflare for a reason. They allow hundreds of thousands of criminals to use their services maliciously and its a huge hassle to report them only to be met with their stance of "we are only routing traffic not hosting it" and they wont remove the most blatant phishing and malicious pages.
That makes them almost trustworthy.
Ultimately you either have a free internet or an internet free of scams phishing and malware. I'd chose the free internet every time
Are you confusing their comments about (paraphrased) "horrible but legal" (up to a point) sites like dailystormer, 8chan, and kiwifarms, with actual blatant phishing sites?
I find it very difficult to believe they won't remove sites involved in clear phishing or malware delivery campaigns, if they can verify it themselves or in cooperation with a security team at a company they trust. That's different from sites that are morally repugnant and whose members spew vitriol, but aren't making any particular threats (and even in cases where there are clear and present threats, CF usually seems to prefer to notify law enforcement, and then follow court orders, rather than inject themselves as a 3rd party judge into the proceedings).
>I find it very difficult to believe they won't remove sites involved in clear phishing or malware delivery campaigns, if they can verify it themselves or in cooperation with a security team at a company they trust.
You may find it difficult to believe buts its true. Tons of phishing and malicious websites use CF nameservers to prevent ddos attacks and etc and Crimeflare will not terminate their access or accounts when reported for the reason I stated above. Even if it's something obvious like coinbase-account-login.com or etc. they do not give a fuck.
Lot of phish malware and ddos (booter's) use CF with options WAF=enabled. So tool like urlscan, abuse.ch cannot connect to check for phish or run scan.
This isn’t true about Daily S. They have been actively working towards and expressively proposing a new holocaust for decades now. In what way are they not an existential threat for Jews, or LGBTQ?
I’m in Canada, in a tight valley that snows a lot.
7.8kw on the roof, even if I paid full price out of pocket it would be fully paid off in 13 years, and then I get $1000 a year of free power for another 20 or so years.
RU cybercriminals pay bribes to RU law enforcement to stay out of trouble as well as bend the knee and work for GRU/KBG when called upon for various requests by them.
then there is also the unspoken rule of "dont shit where you eat" aka RU/CIS based ransomware operators and hackers cant attack any companies in the CIS region.
side note: there is a built in flag mechanism called BadExit for Tor that if a relay or exit is detected to be malicious, it is quickly removed from being used.
