PLA hardware aesthetics is getting peak. Norinco boys grew up on too much Patlabor hnnng. I remember watching the 50th parade looking at all the old hardware, I was into flight simulators back then, going through novalogic's commanche

I've lax with my math because your claims are so ridiculous. AJ article is about stock performance, which is one index of economic improvement, that we can approximate in aggregate gdp ppp, which is easily referenced. Taking more than

That ecumenopolis feels of weaving through built environment without ever stepping outside. Big fan of skyways as well, too bad there aren't many examples of cities with enough density with overlapping underground and skyway pedestrian

E: correction: I was off on post handover growth 250%. I used 87 gdp, not 97 gdp. Either way, stupid levels of PRC driven growth.

Per original comment: HK grew 700% since HANDOVER, 1997, i.e. 23 years. HK grew 33% since CRACKDOWN, 2019, i.e. 5 years. Please learn literacy and numeracy.

It's hard to take your comments seriously when you don't know the basic numbers. LKQ revealed during covid that 600m in PRC has income of 1000rmb per month -> 1500 USD per year, aka 600m (40% of 1.4B) generates 900b of of 19000

lol the market has tons of support for OS that can't be sanctioned, especially Huawei, who you know is.

There are roughly 2 Chinese cohorts. The bottom 40% generating 5% of GDP, and the other 60% generating 95%. This composition and cohort effects converge per-capita metrics, distort per capita base of productive (young, educated, skilled) PR

HK GDP grew by 7x since handover. It grew from 450B to 600B since HK crackdown. Reality is HK is portal to PRC wealth by PRC ascension, even pre handover. PRC decides how rich HK gets to be by deciding how much PRC economic activity HK gets

TBH Jordan paid his dues in PRC, did great interviews with interesting people. But TFW he is still... literally brain injury / damaged and now in Washington and seems to be doing more policy/analysis work.

The rebuttal to the classic Chinese collapse #s. - 300% is one measure of PRC aggregate debt that PRC collapsers want to compare with US government debt, ~120%. US aggregate debt is like 700-800%. - The cities are generally fine, the recent

One of the sharper PRC writers, great yearly essays when he was on the ground. Unfortunately still (seemingly) retardedly liberal pilled form latest Chinatalk interview (TBH just like Jordan). Humorless engineering governance can't bea

I think it means Xi's advisors don't believe in AGI, and Xi's advisors are drawn from the largest pool of AI talent in the world. And given the incentive, i.e if they're wrong and PRC lightcone collapse because US built

IMO it was exceptionally obvious AGI isn't around the corner because China is doing long-term AI strategy vs US market driven speculative all out sprint. When the country that produces plurality of global AI talent, including top %s do

Creatine for responders slightly improves your leverages by increasing water in muscles, which translates to a few % more weight or few more reps. Guestimate, 5% for weight, 10% for reps on higher rep sets. Which is to say it gives a little

The on paper assumption / sales pitch that remains valid in most scenarios is increased survivability of shooters = more sorties. If hardware can operate from austere conditions you can squeeze in a few more missions, which may be tact

QR code is more alternative to cash. Anyone can setup QR payment vs getting NFC POS terminal. IMO when you can reasonably expect day to day to be completely cashless down to smallest of merchant, it's more convenient compromise vs NFC

1. UN/ITU regulates orbit slots/shells (really frequency assignments that effectively limits orbit slots), high decay V/LEO, as in ~500km was basically exhausted by starlink. Big reason PRC announced multiple 10-20k mega cons

by maxglute 1y ago
Big % of mega constellations will be be >500km where deorbit is decades to centuries. Unless regulatory changes, VLEO will be minority because orbit slots is limited.
