These days, Amazon do a lot of print-on-demand which gives bootleg quality, and there's no way to tell if you're going to get it, and there seems to be no way to avoid it.
Not correct. Sodium-ion batteries were invented in the United States in the 1970s.
Wars and self-destruction, if they happen, will be purely the responsibility of the Chinese side, who have been caught numerous times hacking, spying, copying and stealing the hard work of Western countries. China's…
Please enlighten me -- if a robber pulls a gun on me in the street and demands my wallet, or if a burglar robs my house, then in what way must I blame myself? Normal human beings with common decency and honour would…
China's predatory and anti-competitive trade practices, undervalued yuan, hacking, espionage, IP theft, etc., need to be formally recognised and penalised. They have lied, cheated and robbed their way to the top, and…
China's racist and imperialist attack on the West seems to be bearing fruit.
De jure one-party system. No other political parties are permitted.
The NSA have Congressional oversight and are held accountable for their (mis)deeds, more or less. The Chinese MSS and the Chinese Communist Party itself aren't even accountable to God.
The people who raised concerns about the awful things the Chinese Communist Party has done in the process are unfortunately unavailable for comment.
The extreme downvoting of certain viewpoints that are less-than-flattering about China's conduct in the AI race is quite telling. They seem to have given themselves license to do what they like, but _God forbid_ they're…
The Spanish government trusting the CCP over Palantir is wild. The CCP's intolerant, cruel and authoritarian nature is a direct threat to humanity in ways that Peter Thiel could barely imagine in his darkest dreams. The…
So what is being described here? Scratch-built self-replicating nano-machines inspired by biology? That itself seems significant.
I'm sorry - did I trigger you? On one hand -- I read the opinion of one anonymous random on the internet posting a Russian-accented sneer, trotting out the usual Russian disinformation talking points, on one hand -- and…
I'd go further (as a parent of kids of school age): It takes a village to raise a child. It's all well and good for childless techbros to say "Raise your kids" properly, and be subject to the tender mercies of the tech…
I did think it was interesting to read that Steve Jobs banned his kids from having screen in their rooms on day 1. Zuckerberg apparently does the same. What do the billionaires know that we don't?
Most continential Europeans, like in Spain and France, have mandatory strong ID. I have never seen "paper please" there. This argument simply doesn't work.
(This comment is addressed to peer comments, not the parent post.) It's silly to say "Get better at parenting", when parents who have no specialist training, are literally facing off against trillion-dollar companies…
Techno-libertarianism was always a con. I'm convinced it was an information operation organised by enemies of the West to "prep the battlefield" to enable revisionist state aggression against the West in the cognitive…
"Project Green" There are some sly word games happening there. Although to be fair, it does roll off the tongue better than "Project Jeff Wants Another Yacht".
Ordinarily, we wouldn't have issues, but seeing as the US is now a full-blown kakistocracy, being run into the ground by know-nothings and mental cases, I don't have much hope of seeing a competent response.
Spotted the intellectual.
Ad-hominem attack. Can you do better?
> Whataboutery (also known as whataboutism) is a debating tactic used to evade accountability. Instead of directly addressing a criticism, the accused responds with a counter-accusation or brings up a different, usually…
Exactly. Russians seem to understand the word "Nazis" is a less-literate way than the rest of the world. "Nazi" -- in Russia -- means anybody that Russia hates, resents, is jealous of, or otherwise dislikes. Anybody not…
