Without what Assange did, the world would never have known the [full] extent of USA's transgressions. The video of shootings from the air comes to mind. Especially because they weren't invited!!
Instead of keeping America's politicians accountable, Assange is held. If it were Russia, China, Venezuela, Iran etc etc, we'd be hearing the usual vitriol from main stream media and their associated governments!
Not that banning Tik Tok was any effective, for those [Americans] who wanted to use it still found a way to install/use the app. In fact, it became more popular!
Then there is/was this Nord Stream 2 issue too. The USA managed to interrupt its construction for a while. Then The Bear (read Russia), organized resources and restarted its construction. When Biden came into power, he realized the Nord Stream 2 is fait accompli - reversing USA's direction on the matter - ouch!.
Anyone see what I am seeing? The USA slowly becoming inconsequential in world matters?
I sincerely hope that this development once effected, will tame or cure Linux's inherent Ux/GUI problem of sucking bigtime in the beauty category.
...The U.S. Defense Department has now agreed that a final order vacating the designation "would be appropriate," according to a filing to the U.S. courts Tuesday...
Next will be blinking on Nord Stream 2, for I do not see how USA's policies can stop the project, with just about 100KM of pipe laying left. So much has been sunk into it thus far.
As Putin once said, "The dogs bark, but the caravan goes on".
The USA can bark here, many will ignore!
That concentration does raise housing values, and housing prices because people want to live here.
Not exactly. For big city California, house prices rise because there's not enough of them being built. Californians should be ashamed of all the homelessness that is evident on California streets.
All of these things are true and yet year after year, decade after decade, you see Silicon Valley robustly continuing to grow and continuing to thrive.
Thrive? depends on who you talk to. HP, Oracle, Telsa and a number of folks must be high for they all took off for Texas!
Huawei was literally bootstrapped on IP (hardware designs, software, and even copied manuals) stolen from Cisco, Nortel, and others.
This doesn't explain Huawei being able to patent all that it has patented. That "stolen" stuff you are talking about would already have been patented, if the stuff was worth patenting.
"...The owner of the world's largest portfolio of 5G patents will negotiate rates and potential cross-licensing with the iPhone maker and Samsung Electronics..."
How was this Chinese entity (Huawei), able to amass all these patents if it copied/stole them?
I guess innovation is happening in other places than the US of A!
I liken Facebook's action to like a company that says...
We take users' privacy very seriously..."
Dude, [credible] Citation needed for your seemingly unsupported claims.
Every day in the United States, 17 people die waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant. To address this crisis, one biotech company is turning to an unlikely source: pigs.
You see, that animal and every byproduct of it is forbidden, I heard.
At the same time, some folks from that religion have been known to consume it though the majority do not and will not accept it.
How is this acquisition necessary for Google.
To eliminate competition - as simple as that.
Eliminating competition this way has been Google's MO for years!
...Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said in a statement that the department would "not allow advanced U.S. technology to help build the military of an increasingly belligerent adversary."...
You see, I sympathize because when the US executed similar "tricks" on China in the early 80s over rocket technology, the Chinese developed their own (with Russia's help though). They have now become so advanced in this field that they do not need the USA anymore.
The Chinese are not seated still. They are a force that cannot be ignored in AI, High speed train tech and so many other fields now.
China will prevail here. In short, it's fait accompli...
Open literature describes a number of ways to attribute an attack to a nation-state type attacker, whether that involves analysis of the attack tools, their techniques, or just the targets (individuals, data, or both).
What information at these organizations do you think would be a favored target for organized crime? Which non-government groups do you think would embed that kind of fake attribution data in their attack tools? Is there some gang of criminals in southeast Asia who decided it would be lulz-riffic to make their attacks look like they were perpetrated by North Korea or China government cyber ops? What long-term plan do you hypothesize some random gang would have here?
Dude, nothing in whatever you have mentioned prevents a hacker from executing simply for fun. People do these things and more for free/fun/no real reason/because - they can - have a lot of time - they want to prove a point - name it.
To me, this whole thing proves incompetence than anything else. We're the "most advanced nation on earth." So we should be immune to these kinds of attacks.
In short, they are incompetent.
I will refer to to my struggle to give them my hard earned cash.
It was in the days of the LG V30. I visit their website after failing to get the device from any carriers here. I fail to buy it online. I call their local toll free number, advising them my intention to buy the device.
I am told that the device will not be available for the next 3 months at least and there are no firm plans to have it sooner either - despite having made announcements to the contrary.
I just do not get it at all. A potential customer struggles to part with his cash. An experienced company but with what seems to be incompetent management fails to provide avenues to get as many devices to those who are ready to spent to get them.
They still continue with this practice. They haven't borrowed any leaf from the competition - OnePlus springs to mind.
Work continues in this area. -- DEC's SPR-Answering-Automaton
