China is a generation ahead in terms of EV and self driving technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?... [youtube.com]

The entire problem of self-driving technology is edge cases. Every self-driving car can make a great demo video, and that's been true since the 90s.

To compare and see which one is actually better, you need to look at data, and that's something we've had trouble getting from American manufacturers AND Chinese manufacturers. So don't even start saying which one is better.

if it's not patched at the time of release, it's a zero day.

You didn't read your own link. When Microsoft (or the users in general) finds out about the vulnerability, that is day 1. Before that is day zero.

If Microsoft found out about the exploit on the third of April, then that was day one.
Then day two was April 4th.
Day three was April 5th.

Etc. you should be able to do this kind of math.

There were only two students who could possibly earn an A in the class no matter how well everyone did. It had a perverse effect of pitting all of us against each other.

It's almost certain that the "perverse effect" was intentional, and some at Harvard want to pit students against each other as a reflection of real world corporate politics (and government politics).

Although the number of people in the room is significantly less the the US House of Representatives, the total amount of lying, thieving, grift and graft on display rivals the worst that comes out of the US legislature. If bad intentions had mass it could be big enough to collapse into a black hole.

Comment Microsoft vs Kenya net worth (Score 1) 86

As of May 12 2026 Microsoft's market capitalization is just over 3 trillion USD. The World Bank estimate for Kenya's GNI (Gross National Income) in 2024 was 123 billion USD.

The value of the data center alone is about 0.81% of the GNI of the entire country. The value of the data center is about 0.033% of the value of Microsoft, so the ratio of Microsoft/Kenya relative value is 2454. Note this is not a percentage, but the approximate ratio of net worth. As a percentage it's 0.04% USD of Kenya per 1 USD of Microsoft.

This is how colonialism is manifest in the 21st century.
