Comment Treason, but why not politicians??? (Score 0) 42

These women committed treason and should get 100 years, or better, executed.
Then we have multiple American born, but Chinese parents, who pushed 2 sailers to betray America and turn over secrets( like trump has most likely done ).
Add in other traitors who are tried for this.
Then we have 3 recent interesting ones: Mueller pretty much said that Trump was guilty, even though Trump/barr cut investigation way short.
Or how about Menendez who is being tried, but not for treason?
the same for crueler in Texas.
All of these politicians took bribes and then screwed over America doing what foreign governments wanted. Why are these 3 not tried for treason?

Wrong. Western nations do not have laws that says that it is OK for citizens to crack systems in your nation.
Xi would get mad at us for doing to you what you are doing to the west.
That does not mean that western groups are not targeting your nation and Russia, however, there is a difference in having military/intelligence target your military/intelligence, vs your nation allowing citizens to legally sell drugs to the west, esp to America, as well as legally being able to crack these systems.
HUGE difference. For all intents and purposes, your nation's leaders are 2-face since they are in a cold war with the west, while pretending otherwise.

China, Iran, N. Korea, Russia are all directing their crackers to attack the west. In fact, both China and Russia passed laws well over 10 years ago that said anybody that cracked their nation would be in serious trouble, HOWEVER, if they cracked western companies and government AND shared information with government, they were fine.

Seriously, Google has time and again, especially under Pechai, advanced all sorts of applications to work with, grabs ideas from others, and then closes or kills off the app that everyone is using.
This is simple another BS evil attempt by Pechai to get others to put in their tech and once Google is at the center, then destroy. IOW, Google practices EEE and is just as evil as MS once was ( based on their lack of security, they remain evil, but better than 2-3 decades ago).

I think the US should absolutely have such a thing and invest in American companies but this is politically unviable unfortunately even though we have some in a backhanded type of way.

But this is something that we ABSOLUTELY must do. Far too often we have allowed technology to flow elsewhere because private investors in America were short sighted. We need long-term investments for America's future.

If you want harsher laws against outsourcing and foreign ownership I am onboard 100% but I have my doubts if real laws like that are going to make it out of what seems like a forever split Congress. The fact the CHIPS act got passed is still good, we gotta work for what we can get realistically and use that to justify better in the future.

Nope. I am 100% against BOTH of these. We have several big issues that actually cause all of our downfalls. In addition, to corrupt politicians being bought and the others doing nothing about it (can not believe that ANY CONgress critter is in Trump's courtroom right now):
1) reagan changed tax structures so that instead of every $ obtained was taxed the same, he taxed them differently, as well as pushed some of the worst write-offs that has lead to CONgress giving friends write-offs. All of that has to stop.
2) again, reagan, pushed paying Executives with low/no tax stock/options. THis lead to the likes of GE Welch, Bell labs/HP Fiorina (I worked at both when that GD C*&T destroyed each of those), Boeing's Calhoun and previous CEOs for the previous 20 years, etc. to offshoring.
3) W's withholding taxation of coporations that move operations off-shore.

All of these are what has destroyed our economy.

We need to change all of this.

BTW, pay attention to presidential candidate 'Literally Anybody Else'. Good things are coming. :)

Comment Nothing revolutionary here (Score 1) 80

Back in the 80s, I lost a grade for arguing with a prof in class over this. Clear back then, the argument was less than 5% coded or did any work. Yet, that argument flies in the face of how efficient/effective life is. Plants, animals, etc are extremely efficient. We save off extra energy as fat for long-term storage. But animals like bears, whales, etc took it even further and use it as insulation. Why? Efficiency.

Comment Re:Worthless (Score 1) 45

Yeah, my point is that we do NOT want to subsidize. Why not? Look at subsidies for land-based wind. It was supposed to die off after 10 years. Then it was extended to be until land-based wind was profitable on its own, WHICH IT IS. Yet, CONgress extended it. We are wasting billions of $$$$ on subsidies.

What is needed is to allocate some 2-4B from the 50B, and spend 1-2B on just start-ups that produce end-products that we can sell to consumers as well as others that can be used in local manufacturing. The money is invested into the companies, and then once the company IPOs, then we sell our stock in the company (yes, some will go under).
Note that was less than 1/2 of the $ allocated. What is the other half used for? To fill in production of parts that we are missing to build these products. If we can buy the parts from allies, then we should do so. However, if it means coming from China or neutral nations, then we need to re-start that production and see to it that these flow to the above mentioned products.

This can not be about subsidies, but needs to be about restarting the lines that are needed to take on the Chinese juggernaut (economic and military).

Obviously, you have not a clue. The 120M was from the 50B fund. The chip production would have been moved to S. Korea or Japan due to their owning it and wanting to keep production in their own nation.
The problem is that the 50B that meant to restart America's electronics is being poorly used. Much of the chips manufactured in America ARE exported to ..... CHINA. So, since this 120M was from the 50B fund, then it made speaking about how worthless the 50B fund is.

Comment Worthless (Score 1) 45

Seriously, the 50+B that Biden/Goon squad are spending on foundaries is absolutely WORTHLESS. Why? Because China will simply block imports from here, as well as block various supplies to these companies.

What is needed is to spend some of this money on :
Board making.
New end products from new start-ups that use these chips. Why new start-ups? So that they grow with these chips production.

$1-$4B spent on this would be far far more useful then simply giving more to Intel, etc.

Multiple nations are targeting GPS and Western Communications (this is why N. Korea, Iran, Russia, and China are FURIOUS with Starlink and others; impossible to take them out). As such, it is foolish to develop equipment that depend 100% on GPS. Tractors? Aircraft? Boats? It is a mistake to depend on these.
