Are the Chinese carrying out espionage in the U.S.? Yes. But Indoubt China’s key AI CEOs that need to be warned not to travel to the U.S. will be the ones doing espionage for the Chinese government. If they were, then the govt wouldn’t need

Without getting into the politics of all this, what’s the point of being a centibillionaire when you have to suck up to Donald Trump in a way 99.999% of the people in this country don’t need to. To his credit, at least Musk owns Trump. The

Skype for Business, which was really just a rebranding of Microsoft Lync, destroyed the Skype brand. But it also indirectly damaged both variations. Skype for Business became less of a “business” software like Lync was. So unlike Lync, whic

Let’s run some numbers for the bottom half. I don’t know what they mean by income data, but let’s use the GDP as a proxy. 2025 GDP (Current USD) - $3.5Tn (actually 2023, but it’s probably still close) Population - 1.45Bn Bottom Half Populat
