Wow, did I strike a nerve? I'm not making excuses or equivocating. I'm simply pointing out that this is not some random tantrum on the Chinese side. The USA, and Canada, knew exactly what they were doing when they decided to &quot

As a Canadian, you're currently detaining Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's ex-CFO, at the USA's behest, for allegedly violating the USA's unilateral Trump-tweet sanctions against Iran. The Chinese are furious about it. You can be

> You could say China has control over Australia and the United States for the same reason I think that's a bit disingenuous. No-one would seriously claim that those two countries are beholden to China in anything other than trade.

I do not appreciate you passing off opposing arguments as "cognitive dissonance". The basic fact that subspecies X will outbreed subspecies Y is inarguable, no matter how much dirt you attempt to throw. No-one is willing to have t

Thank you for clarifying. It's an unknown, basically. I too feel in this category about the 42M, although I suspect i'm on the offending side of the line. I have no clue about "march madness", all I know is it's som

Technically you're right of course but I think you miss the broader point. AWS is ludicrously complicated and overkill for most startups, like a corner store implementing SAP. The problem is it's the gold standard for "cloud&

Honestly I don't feel sorry for the USA any more. The rest of the world solved these problems 50 years ago. At some point you conclude that the USA wants these problems. China could not ask for a better boogeyman.
