Does use of compression become tax avoidance or tax evasion? Asking for a product team.
BREAKING: 🇫🇷 French lawmakers just voted 11-10 in favour to introduce a tax on internet data.
If approved, Netflix, Youtube, Meta and all internet businesses will have to pay a tax of 5.5 cents for every GB users consume in France.
That’s nearly $12 Billion in new revenue for the government.

I had Claude do a deep dive on CVE trends.
My Hypothesis:
On a per-technology basis, a lifecycle involving saturation would emerge, that might help predict.
And factors were...
- Transparency of Code (Open Source Now, Closed Source Later)
- Financial Reward (Pure Crypto > Package Manager)
- Legal Downside of Exploit (Crypto > TradFi)
Anecdotes and results: 👇

Steal this idea: A SaaS platform that has one job.
Secret Management. Hella advanced secret management.
That's it, that's the entire offering. Just do it crazy crazy good.
For humans. For agents. For apps.
I wasn't sure of the idea a year ago.
Today, I'm really, really, really fucking sure this needs to become a thing.

AI Transformation is about to totally rip through the entire economy.
Any B2B repetitive backend process consuming material labour as a function of COGS is in scope.
I don't think it's priced in at all. The S&P 500 is going to surge for the next few years.
Would not be surprised, if Anthropic and SpaceX are just the start of the many likely companies that will be donating shares to gain public favour and alignment.

This is European-style thinking.
Carney promised cheap EVs. He just forgot to mention they had to be Chinese-owned and Chinese-made
Tesla’s Canada policy lead confirmed the quiet part out loud: “Global Affairs Canada is providing in advance the maximum number of cars OEMs can expect to bring in for a period. So, while the program outwardly looks like it is a first-come-first-served model, there is a lot more behind it.”
Result? Tesla hits GAC's secret ceiling and has to pause the $39,490 Shanghai-built Model 3 while ~33,000 national quota spots sit unused. The Carney government is actively rationing the one brand Canadians are actually buying so room is left for Chinese automakers that haven’t even set up proper Canadian sales and service networks yet
Cheap EVs, yes — just not the ones most people want, and not on market terms. Carney industrial policy dressed up as affordability. Always be central planning @MarkJCarney @elonmusk
