Het had niet veel gescheeld of deze 400 miljoen euro kostende #HighNA-chipmachine van @ASML had er nooit gestaan. Straks is dit de motor achter de #AI-chips waar @sama om zit te springen. Oog in oog met de monsterlijk grote TwinScan EXE:5000, in Veldhoven.

Van Boxmeer @ert_eu rightly states: Europe is facing a ‘Delors moment’. “He came at a time when European competitiveness was also being challenged. This is a Delors moment where you have to push [integration] a little further.”

The @FT just announced US economic growth accelerated to 4.9% in Q3. Meanwhile, Europe lags behind. How long can this continue?

Sefcovic neemt de Green Deal portefeuille van Timmermans over https://t.co/X7uMlEFOhP Meest ervaren Commissaris maar ook wel erg een care-taker... Voorlopig krijgt hij ook de klimaatportefeuille maar de formulering laat daar duidelijk ruimte voor de nieuwe Nederlandse voordracht.

De-risking trade with China is intrinsically political via @FT
Indeed: “De-risking trade with China has to proceed from a realistic appraisal of what governments can and should be doing, not promulgating the illusion that they have no role to play at all.” https://t.co/0L0zzvGPe2

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

The image depicts two graves located in separate graveyards in Roermond, Netherlands, dating back to 1880. The reason for this separation is that Jacob Werners Constantinus van Gorcum, the husband, was a Protestant, while Lady Josephina Carolina Petronella Hubertina van Aefferden, the wife, was a Catholic. Consequently, religious differences prevented them from being buried in the same cemetery.

Jacob and Josephina tied the knot in 1842 when Jacob was 33 years old and Josephina was 22. The couple enjoyed a marital union that spanned 38 years. Following Jacob's demise in 1880, he was interred adjacent to a wall. Upon Josephina's passing in 1888, she expressed her wish to be laid to rest not in her family's burial site but alongside her husband, adjacent to the same wall. Their individual headstones serve as a poignant testament to their enduring love and shared destiny.

“A “worker centric” trade policy advocated by US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Ambassador Tai is a good idea, but shouldn’t it embrace the 41 million US workers whose jobs depend on trade?”https://t.co/TFRYhfLHOq
