It was Russia who started war in 2014, and - now officially nazi - escalated in February. None of your links claim or suggest otherwise. What they describe is just politics - and does not on any way give Russia the right to invade.

Can we agree that both China and US are… somewhat flawed democracies then? The thing about chairman choosing their successor has been provably false a couple of times (search for Gang of Four), at the same time it was provably true a coupl

Can you name one? Note: not “unknown to me”, but unknown to virtually anyone.

Not “appointing”, but voting. Just like in US. Unless you want to maintain that eg displacing Gang of Four was Mao’s idea. But yes, if Xi held power despite losing support that would be… fairly bad.

The F-14 CADC thingy wasn’t a microprocessor though - it was a multi-chip solution. I’m also not quite sure if it would qualify even if it were a proper microprocessor - because it was classified it didn’t contribute anything to the state o

“The West” (US mostly) is worried China will _compete_ on the global market. Which is currently owned by the West.

That’s a nice description of your prejudices, but you failed to show any facts that would support it. For starters - why do you assume the elections, which essentially work the same way as presidential elections in US, would be staged? Aga

It doesn’t matter if he hasn’t been formally convicted; he spent last decade de facto imprisoned, proving that US does in fact punish journalists that are a bit too nosy about US military.

“Emperor Xi” needs to win elections to keep ruling, and destroying country’s economy isn’t particularly good way of achieving that. Embargo is a given; US is just waiting for opportunity. Sure, it wouldn’t be a total embargo, but it would

One crucial difference is that Antarctica isn’t strategically important, so there is no incentive to colonize.

What’s the point of producing chips when you can’t sell them? China invading Taiwan would mean embargoes, which in turn would crash Chinese economy. Invading Taiwan just doesn’t make any sense.

Obviously false, see Assange.

Do you also believe people shilling for US here are government agents? Of course you don’t. You hadn’t been indoctrinated _that_ way.

Your situation is still 50% success, although with collateral damage (the single killed elephant).

It’s Russia who started the war. Not UK, not US and not China.

Sony's CRTs didn't use shadow masks; they used a wire-based thingy instead. Also humans don't have a way to generate magnetic field to distort it.

I'd attribute this to the fact that the way technology is organised follows how the groups of people who develop it are organised. The Ghost Of The New Machine thing; "if you put database folks and kernel folks into the same offi

Not related to KiwiFarms by any chance? (From the downvotes I infer that cesspool is somewhat popular.)

Perhaps, but there are many methods to make meat less gamey, and I suspect most of them was invented before the current blandness set in, which suggests it wasn't welcome in the old days either.

Does it apply only to research within US, or also outside but funded by US?

Can you give me some reference, or a keyword? I can’t find much about it; what I found is that they can work and get paid, but I didn’t find anything about being forced to.

There are stats there, anyone who’s not indoctrinated can see them. One point: >as for the "felonious" people in China: what did the Uyghurs do to deserve it? Terrorism. The difference between Uighurs and the victims of Ameri
