- pphysch 5y agoWhat can I say, I'm attempting to add nuance and scrutiny to what is a black-and-white issue for most of HN.
- dang 5y agoSince your intention is to add nuance and scrutiny, you should be posting much more thoughtfully and substantively than comments like these: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29594691 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29594691 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29597691 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29597691 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29596075 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29596075 Those comments aren't adding nuance, they're perpetuating flamewar.

- throw10920 5y agoThey are not correct about NSLs - the level of control exercised by those is not even remotely comparable to the level of power that the CCP holds (and exercises) over Chinese companies. Nobody thinks that NSLs don't exist, it's just that they're not comparable to the issue at hand. And, in particular, the US government does not either possess or exercise the power over US companies to coerce them to steal IP from other countries - which is the issue under discussion.
