The trade war reduces China's dependence on the US, whether through sales or holding US treasuries. This means China can invade Taiwan with less risk of economic sanctions. That said, without TSMC, and especially with the current admin

> They want Taiwan because they see them as a rebellious province Is it really this, or is that just cover for it being in the first island chain?

Hijacking this somewhat, but shouldn't the engine be open-source so both Sean Hannity and Richard Stallman can see the code and protect their data from prying government eyes? Or maybe it's already open-source? There should be som

At my first job, it actually was a compiler error, and I'm not sure if my manager ever believed me. We were using an internal gcc fork and cross-compiling, so who knows where the bug was, but the compiler team got back to me. Jump tabl
