Why is this idea getting downvoted? This is a legitimate situation. Why should Huawei continue to financially support ARM? When their legal usage of the ARM IP is now on shaky ground, just because some president can easily revoke their priv

This is just conjecture. You have no evidence to support this. And there are bats in Austin, Texas! You’re saying that the bats in Austin are clean, and disease free, while the bats in China, somehow only carry the virus?

> Forced cultural assimilation is still considered genocide. Interesting point of view there. You sure you want to die on this hill? Ok, let’s take that a step further. In the Western countries, the United States, Canada, Australia, and

Huawei should just dump ARM. And go all in with RISC-V.

This is actually an interesting question. The western countries are accusing China of fake genocide here, such as suppressing the Uyghur culture, their language, their food, their clothing, even their haircuts. But yet, H&M is a western

How did the Chinese fail to contain Covid, when serological tests showed that the virus was already present in the United States, in Seattle, back in December 2019? We still don’t know if it was in the United States earlier than this, becau

I have never heard of this Novamin toothpaste before. Nor has any of my dentists ever recommended it. It looks like the popular brand is Sensodyne.

Why can’t he or anyone, present an alternative question to elicit a conversation about it? Otherwise, we will have mob rule.

LOL. It looks like you got downvoted for pointing out an inconvenient truth.

You’re changing the story to suit your own narrative. The Civil War in China is not over. And it was never settled. Before this, the bully was the Taiwan government. Then they lost the mainland, and fled to Taiwan, where they got sheltered

This is a good thing. Prior to this, we were all lemmings that were told to come into the office, to sit at a desk in front of our laptop or monitor, and type away at a keyboard. The 2 hour daily round trip commute would wear us down. It wo

I’ve heard it said that stealth is a lie. That radar technology from World War 2 era is able to detect stealth aircraft. The Russians just built up more of that kind of radar band to detect current stealth planes. This is how the F-117 got

I should’ve been more clear. The helicopters could be 100 feet apart. Each helicopter would hook on to the corner of each container, and pull away diagonally. The lift capability of this setup is from the y axis. But at a reduced load. Th

What’s the math like if you use 4 Chinooks? One on each corner. Someone, break down the component forces.

Exactly. Modern Gnome interface on Ubuntu is complete junk. Is my laptop a wannabe tablet or something? I thought Windows 10 desktop was bad. But then, there’s Gnome that is worse.

What happens when China cracks the laser and plasma physics, and builds their own indigenous EUV machine? I hear the last thing standing in their way is the light source from Cymer (sp?).

Lava seems to destroy everything. Tectonic plates shifting would eventually turn everything over. If the Venusians ever became atomic, and then space faring, then the best way to find evidence of them is probably in their ancient technology

Then we are clearly in a bubble. Housing prices are now 4x or 5x of a husband/wife dual income.

Geez. 6% is insanely expensive. The 6% commission fee for an $800,000 house is $48,000. The 3% is now $24,000. At that rate, the agent only needs to sell 1 house a month, to earn a decent living making $288,000/year. It’s no wonder the

Life is too short to be forever tied to Java. This will be Scala’s downfall. Elixir looks like the more promising approach. I love its pipe forwarding operator.

I still have my old minidisc player. Exquisite piece of hardware mechanical engineering from Sony. I always enjoyed hearing that satisfying sound of inserting in the minidisc, and closing the door as the internal mechanisms aligns the media

Yeah, I miss the minidisc. But I always thought the sliding door mechanism was a possible point of failure on the units. And then, they were also rather expensive. Costing about $15 per unit. And then, there’s data density. It didn’t seem l

I did wonder if you can create some type of laptop terminal KVM (keyboard video mouse) for a Mac Mini or small PC box. This way, it becomes a sort of portable desktop/laptop hybrid. Maybe someone can mill an exoframe box and sell it on

How’s Snowflake doing? One thing these database companies have going for themselves, is that once a customer company’s data and code is locked in to a particular database, then it becomes very very hard to get out. Not impossible, but just
