Escaping the trap of US tech dependence

Canada needs real digital sovereignty, not our own digital colonizers

”The recent US invasion of Venezuela and the saber-rattling toward many other countries, including Greenland and Denmark, have given new energy to concern about dependence on the United States and how governments should react.”

When countries get hooked on US tech, their governments are constrained in reining in tech’s harms while most of the economic benefits accrue to the United States.

It’s time to break out of that trap — but that means challenging the Silicon Valley model, not creating our own digital colonizers.

🔁 @TechDesk:

Technology and power are inextricably linked — a fact that the U.S. government has known since the 1980s. Canadian journalist @parismarx writes about how now, more than ever, Canada needs to reduce its dependence on the U.S. when it comes to tech, and pursue true digital sovereignty. "We have an opportunity to think bigger and to challenge those fundamental assumptions that were crafted in the 1990s to convince us digital technology had to be left to the private sector," he writes.

He called himself an ‘untouchable hacker god’. But who was behind the biggest crime Finland has ever known?

Finland has been ranked the happiest country on Earth by the UN for the last eight years in a row. A world leader in childcare and education, Finland is also famously hi-tech: it’s the most digitalised country in Europe, renowned for its communications sector (as the home of Nokia) and leading the way when it comes to cybersecurity and AI innovation. But Finland is also a place of extremes.

For me this felt like reading a Chuck Palahniuk novel….and I haven’t read one of those in years.

The inhumanity, inner horror and inability of business or justice systems to stop or really hold to account hackers is disturbing.

It’s the knowledge that this could all happen again tomorrow and is probably happening right now and there is nothing we or anyone can do about it that really unnerving. And its victims will be the most vulnerable.

High-level is the goal

Why should anyone care about low-level programming?

Shared by @hn100 and 7 others.

High-Level Is the Goal
----
- a day ago | 8 points | 0 comments
- URL: bvisness.me/high-level/
- Discussions: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4
- Summary: Ben Visness argues that low-level understanding is essential not for its own sake, but to create a new generation of truly “high-level” tools. Modern software is slow because developers are trapped in bloated stacks (e.g., React+Redux); knowing how the machine works lets you pick or build better foundations. The current ecosystem is top-heavy—dozens of JS frameworks, few solid low-level alternatives—and its documentation and tooling are hostile. Handmade’s mission is therefore to demystify low-level work, improve its ergonomics, and convert that knowledge into new, fast, delightful abstractions everyone can use.
