It feels like we're in the calm before the storm and nobody is watching the approaching squall. China growing in power and influence, flexing itself on the global stage. The US waning internationally, citizens divided and full of hate. We're factory-less, fab-less, and have fewer educated. Fewer consumers. Lots of debt. We have SpaceX, but China's pace of exploration and international cooperation is increasing faster…

China has massive internal problems, and all data out of china's government are falsified and outright lies. China is a paper tiger in more ways than one. In 10 years, the power struggle between west and east will be a stalemate, and eventually both super powers will be overtaken by a growing power from India. India will be the powerhouse of the 21st century IMHO

Wake me up when India has a semiconductor fab < 65nm.

Dang, the link should be replaced with this one. The reuters article is a single sentences simply referencing this original article

I love that it's impossible to tell if you're mildly upset at the current state of this post or asking a mod to change it.

That's the beauty of it: many invocations of "dang" in HN will be done for both reasons. I don't know the origin of that username, but it's grown into it's role.

We make the biggest blockbuster movies. Have you even seen End Game? What about Frozen? (Not the sequel) The snowman Olaf transcends national borders. We'll be fine.

The studio system is shut down and blockbusters aren't coming back. Movies are going straight to streaming. Disney and Warner are doing far-reaching reorgs to see to it. Look also at directors like Nolan and Villeneuve complaining - they know their familiar way of life is coming to an end, and they're struggling to cope with the new reality. Low-budget is something we'll get schooled on. International studios are jus…

China owns 40% of epic games? --- EDIT: wow, that's "unreal" ( excuse the pun ) ... what a sell out Epic games!

Yes. Tim Sweeney also stated he wanted to exchange expertise.

> Zoomers on TikTok hate capitalism and the military, and it seems like they're being indoctrinated by an "algorithm". I don't see how that connects to your larger point. Can you please explain?

Capitalism is fuels our wealth machine. The military helps project power and protect our interests. If younger generations grow up hating these structures, they might vote against them.

I think younger generations believe that these structures have led to "the lack of opportunity we're providing for them," as you phrase it. By that reasoning, they should vote to change the military and economic status quo.

The solarwinds hack gets more expansive every time we find out more. This really doesn't bode well.

And this is why all the "they got into our left pocket but could not access the right pocket" statements can be ignored for now. It would be better to assume that every network/system in smelling range of a Solarwinds sticker is compromised.

I hear a lot of fear that the US may no longer be on top, from which I assume you are an American. The good news is that Americans (as individual humans) may be better off when America is no longer an empire.

The British empire was good for the rulers and owners of the companies integrated into it, but not for the average brit.

You will be sleeping like rip van winkle, as I am thinking in terms of decades.
