The original article form the intercept[1] is quite insane, Whole thing is about OpenPower organization[2]. You can replace it with "Linux kernel", "Risc V" or any open technology.

- ijpoijpoihpiuoh 7y agoThe click-bait is strong with this storyline. It's also been posted and upvoted here a number of times over the past week, despite it being a non-story. Presumably people are seeing the title and upvoting without reading or understanding what's actually happening. Especially since this is just an editorial that regurgitates the high level points of The Intercept's story with little further thought or analysis. I've flagged it. IMO, the mods should change the title to something more honest like, "Chinese Microchip Company Participates in OpenPower Foundation."
- tempguy9999 7y agoArgh, where does the word "OpenPower" appear in the story? Edit: a google search for OnePower gets me nothing. Don't get it.
- ijpoijpoihpiuoh 7y agoI responded to you in the other thread.
- mda 7y agoThe article is regurgitation of another article from the intercept. Follow through the first link in the article. The very first Google result for me is https://openpowerfoundation.org https://openpowerfoundation.org. It also returns a info box on the right side about organization.
- tempguy9999 7y agoIt doesn't use the word OpenPower at all, and AFAICS it's nothing at all to do with any particular CPU.
- ijpoijpoihpiuoh 7y agoIt's a rehash of an article in the Intercept. And it is indeed about the OpenPower foundation, which you can see if you click through the link in the first sentence. The fact that the editorial doesn't even mention the name of the foundation stands as a comment about its quality, not about the facts of the story.
- tempguy9999 7y agoJeez, you're right! That's shocking reporting.
- ijpoijpoihpiuoh 7y agoIt seems representative of a certain class of article lately that is willing to bend the truth to the point of breaking in order to say something bad about any of the large American tech companies.
