We've really gotten to the point that certain styles seem AI generated in many cases because many folks are poor writers and anything past a high school level is difficult for them…

Just being realistic here; many of these are of Chinese make so how exactly would you stop it other than blocking them from being sold. They certainly don't advertise to the big bo…

What are you expecting when you're physically in another country attempting to annex it? The only reason I suspect Iranian proxies are not doing the same in the US is right now the…

It's interesting that Cuba, Iran, and even Venezuela all took as part of their identity some sort of adversarial position with the United States (although Venezuela was post-Chavez…

There appears to be a very Chinese strategy of astrotufing going on here similar to what happened with Douyin around TikTok on Reddit. All of a sudden in almost all social media ch…

Almost all markets depend on some form of regulation whether its as simple as "leave everyone alone but no stealing" or "every participant has to source every object through mounta…

Ultimately advocates exist for models and there are incredible financial incentives for some to be advocates, so authors are guaranteed someone being mad if their horse doesn't per…

People need to be bigger on efficacy. If it worked, we'd see evidence of it. No one's bringing that evidence forward and frankly its questionable if US officers are better than the…

Most National governments embraced globalism and free market solutioning. It worked both ways. American Federal Systems also have European and Indian operators but it gets more res…

People forget many of US's regulations were written in blood because the US already had it's industrialization period. They left behind signposts that people could use to sue. The …

It's actually not convenient at all. Consider this: animal study to human study fail all the time. In another world, there could have been NO impact at all to human beings and PFAS…

Wolf Warrior diplomacy isn't even 10 years dead. The HK treaty was violated and continues to be. Taiwan gets threatened every other week. People can have problems with America and …

Almost all industries have divested themselves from the thing thing they supposedly had expertise in towards exploiting crowdsourced alternatives and then pocketing the extra money…

The Russian oil ban only occurred 8 years after the start of this. 2022. Russia had already taken European land for 8 years prior firmly backed by China. I won't even get into the …

Part of the real confusion people have is - so many things about current trade are due to "current economic decision making". That is, something isn't rare or unable to be done els…

I'm still fascinated that Ukraine has been going on since 2014 and the EU has spent more time and air trying to go after US industries than Russian ones or Chinese. You'd think the…

This is because it's not an EU/Canada/US thing as much as some would like to make it. It's a "losing that one election" thing. "What about the Children" always sells. What the EU/C…

It's directed at the person I replied to. It's not directed at the top level OP or Malus which is hilarious, monetized satire. Focusing overly on corporate structures or specific s…

The issue is how do you interact with other industries/trades who protect their profit making potential. Ok great - all software and networks are "free." How do you pay for Doctors…

For me its as simple as mature companies are extremely difficult to reorient towards working at a loss through R&D. People hold up China as an example but China was not displacing …

In a real, large company, no. Interns generally still get the work that is prioritized but often too simplistic to spend Senior Dev time on to simplify Dev's job. For better or wor…

I wouldn't say you're mistaken, but it's a simplification. In the network world, the capability exists to restrict what BGP advertisements are accepted via RPKI/a peer. Internet pr…

The tension is that Security and Dev parts of the stack remove the actual troubleshooting capabilities of the Network layer without opening up the tools that are supposed to replac…

I mean - obviously if they're not listening their chance of the latter is pretty low. Doctors hate to hear this, but if you're so poor in communication and social skills that the p…
