The Eastern neighbors all also had way more outside funding....

TPUs are on the 7nm node. I assume that this what their chips will be like.

The tariff route is what happened in the 1970s under the "chicken tax", which still exists today to protect the US light truck industry, and is pretty much the reason why SUVs reig…

Now they just need to get rid of stuff like Sec. 622 of this bill proposal ( https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/s4615/BILLS-119s4615pcs.p... ) which would give all US intelligence …

Whenever I read about this, it always just sounds like nonsense to me, and probably another American agency simply trying to do some security testing. They said the same thing was …

Very similar to Zhuangzi (Daoism). 荃者所以在魚，得魚而忘荃 蹄者所以在兔，得兔而忘蹄 言者所以在意，得意而忘言 吾安得忘言之人而與之言哉？ The fish trap exists because of the fish; once you've gotten the fish, you can forget the tr…

Generally, historically it didn't because of what happened during the Sui Dynasty, which was short lived. The lessons from that period is still fairly engrained in the mindsets of …

This is great. A few years ago, I decided to buy a WII U, since I have basically every Nintendo console system since the NES. But the gamepad screen was broken and I couldn't sync …

Perhaps Trump Jr's Unusual Machines.

Even if US seems like it's acting in bad faith here, I rather the Pope not step into politics of this sort and concentrate more on the religious realm. It seems like the papacy wou…

Except for a very important one. Taiwan is not internationally recognized as an independent country by almost all nation-states. And those few that recognize Taiwan (or rather ROC)…

The Malacca Straits not being that wide, would make it easier for China's carrier killer missiles to destroy them.

Huawei at least is giving their source code to be scrutinized. What can be said of other vendors?

Is the per capita still rising rapidly? China's CO2 growth levels have already started leveling off, and actually showed a slight decline as of late. https://www.carbonbrief.org/an…

But commercial jet liners aren't as important to China for security. They have high speed railroads for that.

I'm pretty sure there were children where the parents basically locked them in cages or chained them to a post in the basement, where they had almost no social contact, etc. And in…
