That number is supposed to be how much of the tariff that the exporter passes through to the importer. Essentially this is a measure of how much the producers lower their profits to lower the price to compensate for the tariffs. In other words how much the producer "pays for" the tariffs.

This factor is "backwards", in that it doesn't represent how much the producer swallows, but how much they pass on to the importer. Trump's calculations assume that the producer only passes on 25% of the tariff price increase, but the experts say the number should be much closer to 95%.

I have to idea what "4" means.

I'm not no sure. 90%+ of these services are commodities and nobody gives a damn who the provider is from a technical perspective. There's no physical component, so it's literally a matter of signing a contract, spinning up a server/service, move the data and point everything to the new service.

And yeah, there are technical issues that come up, and nothing is ever that easy. But think about how fast many, many companies were able to sort that kind stuff out when the had to when COVID hit.

And that's the thing. Cloud service disruption can be an existential crisis, so why would you leave it in the hands of a hostile foreign power?

That's probably how the penguins got included.

The US has been there before with the Nullification Crisis of 1832. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nullification_crisis?wprov=sfla1

This just in: Water is wet!!!!

Who said anything about re-election? Perhaps a coronation?

He'll, if the requirements were gender neutral, then every astronaut would be a woman based on weight alone.

Buy Canadian is best, but anything will do if it isn't American.

We had a 1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 way back when. It had a very clever clock. Whenever you moved it forward, it figured that it had been running slow, so it would run a little bit faster.

So, very cool, eventually the clock would get more and more accurate overtime.

Except...DST. A one hour adjustment. It would just be getting back to accurate 6 months later. Rinse and repeat....

This article is over one month old. No much has happened since then, including Trump's newest tarrifs against all foreign autos.

Nobody in the corner offices, or any the BoD's of these companies cares about any of that technical stuff. They see this as an existential risk to their companies. Imagine being cut off from your entire computing environment, including your data, without any warning.

Cost and tooling aren't going to be a factor. I would be very surprised if every CIO in Europe hasn't been tasked with putting together a plan to get off American cloud services ASAP.
