Both are correct. "Cactuses" is an entirely acceptable English plural derivation according to every website on grammar googleable.

@bert_hu_bert @Andrew_Campling And faced with being left totally behind on the IT market, Europeans are *digging in deeper* this uncollaborative model while additionally engaging in name-calling (there is no US libertarian hiding under our beds, waiting to prey on our values and laws).
@bert_hu_bert @Andrew_Campling Standards are still very much used in the EU to create non-tariffary barriers to trade (like keeping Italian steelpipes out of the German market, etc) rather than creating interoperable systems where a multitude of entities can compete and coexist.
@bert_hu_bert @Andrew_Campling But the point is - ETSI (for instance), which ostensibly already has all the bits and pieces that Andrew wishes the IETF could have, also seems not to have helped EU companies gain competitive advantages (apart from possibly Ericsson and Nokia).
@Andrew_Campling @bert_hu_bert Will an increased number of government representatives in the IETF create a more fertile ground for European innovation and competitiveness? I mean. No. It won't. :-|
@Andrew_Campling @bert_hu_bert I think here already is a beginning of a sign of something I find bothersome: the representation of EU companies is low in the IETF, and to the extent that they participate, it's not because they don't follow EU law. Government officials won't solve this, even if they go to IETF.
@bert_hu_bert @Andrew_Campling So we're stuck having every half decade "oh, now this big telco failed to launch a social network", "this one failed to launch innovation platform", "the third failed with cloud services", etc. Name one downstream internet market where EU telcos have not failed at least once.
@bert_hu_bert @Andrew_Campling However, pension funds and large existing employee bases with the big telcos leave little space for politicians to "give a chance" to alternative suppliers. EU politicians do not take risks with pensions and jobs, and EU companies as a result are sent on wild goose chases.
@bert_hu_bert @Andrew_Campling So it would depend on whether the EU prioritises having two half-good companies (Ericsson, Nokia(Siemens)) or platforms upon which a multitude of EU companies could exist. EU telcos have tried to replace such multitudes a number of times but they're just not up to the task.
@bert_hu_bert @Andrew_Campling Well. Mobile network equipment contains such central controls, and the EU has a few companies that aren't half-bad in that field, but mobile networks leave a lot less space than internet networks for downstream innovation (which is why internet networks became dominant).
@Andrew_Campling @bert_hu_bert It's not the case that US libertarians enjoy unbridled opportunities for innovation and creativity due to the unregulated arenas in which they act. In regulated arenas, US non-libertarians still manage to innovate and create. EU <some people> manage to get subsidised.
@Andrew_Campling @bert_hu_bert My example with lawful intercept was meant to illustrate that the standards protectionism is a separate and distinct issue from the fear that "US libertarians" create standards incompatible with EU law. Even in places where this could not be the case, the EU still whines.
@Andrew_Campling @bert_hu_bert That's simply not true. The law is the law regardless of what the IETF standardises. And it's a completely different issue than the one where the EU are standards protectionist by locking non-EU entities out of standardisation by encouraging local companies to be whiners.
@the_FCCE We'll get a market saturated with companies dependent on subsidies. Ngggfh!
@gael_duval @bert_hu_bert I disagree. While legislators don't need to encourage such a market structure (as they've done in agritech), they also shouldn't specifically protect companies (like telcos) who are not keeping up. Mobile nw equipment vendors who *ARE* keeping up largely agree
@gael_duval @bert_hu_bert Big Tech works no different than Big Agricultural Tech or Big Pharma, but notably the giants in Big Agritech are German, Brit, Scandinavian so I think there're fewer concerns there. France has no leading industrial complex afaiu.
@Andrew_Campling @bert_hu_bert look it's not just the ietf. it's also places like etsi (which are ostensibly *on european territory* and has an entire *working group dedicated to Lawful Intercept*(!)).
@MartinMillnert @digitaladaniel @goranwesterlund @Vardforetagarna @TechSverige Ska man installera molntjänster för patientdata tänker jag att man *per teknisk definition* tänker flytta datat från landstingets egna servrar till några servrar som kontrolleras av molnleverantören. Har man inte tänkt så är det inte en molntjänst man tänkt upphandla.
