I can only wonder how they much they'll charge for precious soldermask and silkscreen inks.

True, this seems to be how Foreign policy people view things. This viewpoint shows up in things like "Five eyes" etc.

Do you know the story of how the British went from petty traders to "greatness"?

Great idea! Maybe this could help Venezuala. Oh wait...

This is a question of what it "means". It's origins can be traced to problems dealing with SO(n), and in this sense it's uniquely defined by the Lie-algebra of \mathfrak{so}(n), but in the Clifford-algebra world they bec

Wouldn't a Thinkpad be a better idea ? You can get used ones for fairly cheap.

America, for all its deficiencies, does not expect its citizens to be loyal to a foreign culture or language, in order to come up in life. Some idiot being elected to the throne is not going to change the U.S, nor will it change the fact th

Tell me, other than mimic ing whatever is fashionable in London, Berkeley and Paris, what exactly has the "Left" done in Africa, S. Asia and S. America ? Fashion, in general, is apparently the operational semantics of the ostensib

Hmm. In India, education, laws, governance, pretty much every sphere of power, last I looked, is run in English, for the English (vestiges). China, like most nations, may aspire towards Western nations, but K-pop/Internet/TV inspi

Strawman. Actually I have greater hopes for Africa, considering that nothing on the likes of, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decolonising_the_Mind has emerged out of the sub-continent. Edit: This has an excerpt, http:&

See, homo economicuses don't care whether cultures or languages die; you can see this in the above "translation is not economically feasible .." sermons. While that may indeed be true, the thing though is that with such deep

As someone who studies culture (as you can tell), my hate is reserved for the neo-colonial entities and the bourgeoisie they cultivate to stay in power. If you call such entities by the names the kakistocracies christen, then yes, I hate mo

This so easily glosses over the linguistic apartheid in India (other African countries incl.), that it's shocking. See my previous interactions with the WASP imitations; I gather there are enough of them in India to form markets as lar

> everyone wants their own government tit to suck from. That is the general schema by which statist ("socialist") regimes hang on to power... that is until they have inflated themselves out of existence.

It's hardly that simple. China/Korea/Thai/Vietnam/India... were economically at the same level at the turn of WWII - India was probably in better shape. Now India is comparable only to S-Saharan Africa (and other S.

Vietnam/Thailand are already in the supply chain (where do you think all your cameras/hard disks come from ?). India barely has a manufacturing sector.

Sounds like when it was the 60s and Japan was on the rise. It's almost as if, people in the occident have collective amnesia.

US economy grew only by 1.3% (as opposed to the expected 2.3%); the news sent XAU and JPY soaring. The silver cloud was that the consumer spending still looked decent; such tariffs without massive structural changes to the US manufacturing

> That also gets to what is wrong with multiculturalism in the US, namely that it is being pushed by people who hate culture generally. I couldn't agree more; this'd have been okay had US not been so powerful geopolitically, bu

Indeed. Worse yet, those alien to this sphere, are not even aware of this lack of understanding - which is probably why it is so destructive, culturally, for colonized peoples. I would've hoped those in "social sciences" woul

That's a good point; British "agnostic" "liberals" (incl. notably Mill), often defended the British task of "civilizing the barbarians" the world over.

That is a very astute observation. Those of us who've seen secular humanist tenets of "rights", being cynically used for all sorts of geopolitical ends, will realize how easy it is to excite folk with such talking points. Peo

It's not just you; happens the world over. Phillipines, Africa ... nearly all colonized peoples - if not in "religion", then in culture and language.
