The Federal Aviation Administration issued a nationwide groundstop order for all airports on Friday, without offering additional information.
I don't think this is related to Microsoft outages, but you never know.
This is my take on it from sifting through lots of stuff. Take from it what you will (it is mostly speculative):
1) Huang is a VERY effective CEO.
2) He is also very well-liked by his employees and people who work with him.
3) His departure from NVidia will hurt them greatly.
4) He probably didn't know she was a spy and didn't disclose anything useful to her/China.
5) This outcome is perhaps exactly what China wanted- a scandal to get an extremely effective CEO out of NVidia to hurt the company.
6) After the investigation, if he is cleared of disclosure or any any law-breaking, then he should be allowed to return to NVidia as CEO (and perhaps with a little more oversight). His moral failings are something he will need to address with his family.
But at least China has pledged to address the problem.
China pledges and promises all sorts of stuff....
They are basically one of the worlds greatest and most prolific liars too.....
Go over there and try to start a business (with them by force)....and see just how far promises made go for you.
No, it is not declining and has not peaked.
2025 (last year on record) is at an all time high,
No, China's coal consumption has increased, not decreased over the past decade:
2025: 2300 MToe
2015: 2047 MToe
That is an increase of 13%
China lags, not leads. There is an enormous amount of misinformation in this space -- exporting large numbers of solar cells does not mean you are cutting emissions at all, it is a completely different metric.
For the record, China gets half its energy from coal, about 20% from oil, about 15% from natural gas. It is not leading in any sense. They are massively investing in new oil fields, fracking, and deep water drilling, they added 225 new oil fields, they are building out new coal plants and new natgas pipelines. But I guess because they export a lot of solar panels, they are now "leaders" in CO2.
Their long term CO2 goals are in terms of ratio of GDP to CO2 output, not in absolute terms, so their promised 60% decline in that ratio by 2060 allow them to quadruple the emissions if their GDP continues to increase. They also lead in paying people like Kerry (actually his wife and other family members) to whitewash their climate goals.
That is China leading.
Mail all the rotting meat to them.
Nah....just all the PORK, and associated liquids and blood.
And maybe air drop it rather than mail it....that'll get them where it hurts.
To me, that is basically an acoustic Stockholm syndrome. Motorcycles with their open engines are necessarily very loud to the rider. Like the hostages start to love their captor, motorcycle riders start to love the sound to cope with the fact that they can't flee it.
From that,I'm guessing you are not a biker.
And as the old saying goes..."..if I have to explain it to you....you wouldn't understand.."
That's now throwing shade at you, mind you.....it's just if you aren't of the biker mind, you likely won't "get it".
Ugh....I dread the day when all you can get is a silent electric motorcycle....
Half the fun of one is the sounds and smells and vibrations it gives you....a visceral experience.
The fancy is indeed no other than a mode of memory emancipated from the order of space and time. -- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
