Not to worry, we will use the Babylonian watt for ~~mega~~ imperial-tonne-fortnights to come.

Oh ok... I was confused about either being Forth or language equivalents class to ruby on rails.

The bickering you often see online about whether it’s “genocide” is sometimes from a bad faith bombastic comparison to Nazi Germany usually rooted in misinformation

Also, the declarations of genocide are political. Based only on a few Uyghur women who travelled to UK, and who reported being sterile after having 4+ kids. Autonomous Uyghur/Xinxiang region has been exempt from China's one child policy, but there may have been sterility programs for excessive children.

Xinxiang prosperity has kept up/exceeded with China's provincial average since 2014. It's by far the most humane response to terrorism in human history.

They had to pick a period where 32 bits would last long enough. If they had started with 64 bits, they could have used a start of time much further back.

1 metric second would be a little less than half our current second.

Global electricity output would instantly more than double!!!!

technically that is 64 bit unix time.

subsidies for steel, electricity, rare earth metal refinement and battery production to tax incentives

Policies for abundance are not subsidies. I know it's normal for us to let oligarchy rule over us, and let them pillage everything through scarcity price premiums, but not maximizing oligarchist supremacism is not the same as subsidies.

solar panel production and research and now there is hardly any of that left. If the same happens to the car industry then Europe is going to be in big trouble as it employs millions of people.

Europe/World overall can do well with technology transfer. Battery and metal imports helps its manufacturing sector. Protecting local metal production with government purchases or price subsidies to stay alive can be strategic, but metal reserves imported from where they are cheapest is the actual national security path. Cheapest energy from China is manufacturing competitiveness too, in addition to massive jobs in deploying it.

Having the once in every 100 years bright idea of losing a war on Russia, and going all in on that, is the last refuge of political capital to leverage CIA propaganda to destroy people's prosperity and lives, and distract from doing nothing other than increasing CIA/US sycophancy. Inviting massive investment from China to specifically boost all of European industry/jobs, including more Airbus production to sell into China, and trade more alcohol and cheese to China (and Russia).

policy of state support until a near global Chinese monopoly is reached

The frequent smear is the projection of Oligarchist supremacy on others. Chinese solar dominance has not resulted in scarcity policies. There is high competition inside of China that is likely to continue, and China likely to protect that competition and abundance. It threatens the supremacy of profit maximization through scarcity, and is why the "say anything to smear/block China" attitude prevails.

It's a false accusation against Chinese auto sector that it is heavily subsidized, or especially, that it still is. Cheap metals, factories, robotics, batteries, motors, financing, and high competition leads to low prices.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Considering is probably just gaslighting, but can make auto sector more cooperative with Canadian investment. Very good news to finally visit China and talk for a change, though.

A 30% tariff would allow for decent Chinese market share while also preserving existing auto sector marketing preferences. Ultimately, a trade deal that includes manufacturing investments in autos, solar, H2, robotics, AI datacenters, public charging is a needed boost for Canadian economy including local use of metals and other resources, and a plan B for autoworkers. Canada needs new friends.

Hamas who are fueling the continued war from (what they thought was safety) are mostly in Qatar

unfair accusation from what I've seen. Palestinian leadership has agreed to several peaces with Israel negotiators all to be shot down by Israel cabinet and parliament. Palestine is not the ones fueling the war.

haven't seen it, but trailer very good: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21440780/

Anyway. explosives. detonator optional. Fire can work.

 

Scope of program, from official sources, is deeply improbable: Secure chips for government use. Intel should design secure chips by default. Government should have its own testing center to ensure/help Intel improve their chip security through feedback. Offering Intel high prices for secure chips for government is a completely valid path to ensuring fab profitablity to making them. It would simply not require any secrecy to assist/ensure secure chip production/purchases.

Real purpose of Secure Enclave must be to design insecure backdoors for domestic and international spying purposes. Grants are needed because Intel doesn't profit from adding insecurity, and grants is the only possible compensation model for harming its customers.

US says it won't "demand a board seat". It still has 10% voting rights, and has convinced Intel to be an ally of the empire before this.

 

China could do better to remove any pollution regulatory argument that keeps it out of NATO colony markets, and still be 1/10th the cost of Caterpillar.

Battery electric with flexible generator (H2 or Diesel) for recharging in use (ie Hybrid) would be far less emissions when plugged in for full battery at start of day.

Mining projects all have massive amount of room for solar and Green H2 production, that can make the land valuable settlement (or datacenter) location after the mine is depleted. Electrification is low hanging fruit.

 

prospective tenants wouldn’t be allowed to rent a rent-stabilized unit unless they could prove that the rent would eat up at least 30 percent of their household income.

Even worse, if hatred towards renters is policy, this is a gateway to kicking you out of apartments when your income increases.

Somehow the motive behind this policy is fury that Mamdami is not kicked out of his apartment regardless of what his income situation was at the time he rented it.

Rent stabilization exists in most cities in the world. It is a fine proposition for landlords who have fixed financing costs known at start of rental period, and are allowed rent increases that exceed property tax/expense increases over time. Guaranteeing profit expansion.

Giving landlords more extortion power, not only causes division and hatred, but can easily backfire by forcing mass rental exodus towards home purchases, and competition with landlords for extortion, but at lower profits.
