Perhaps you'd like to live in China or North Korea where you can be randomly apprehended and harassed by the police just "because you look a bit sus".

Versus the United States, where a US citizen born in the US can be deported to country they've never been to, where they don't speak the language, just because they look like an illegal immigrant?!

I don't like communism or socialism, but I can't deny that the Western world is having a Soviet Moment, with Britain and the US leading the way in violating civil rights.

That isn't a real thing.

They're transporting ICE agents dressed like Proud Boys in literally the exact same kind of Penske rental truck that the Proud Boys dressed like ICE agents were being transported in, now.

They lied to us for at least the past 12yrs and we formed grassroots information networks to bypass them

You mean toilet research networks?

For once I got in one which word was triggering the lame filter, it was r e eye c h. Once again, the owners of Slashdot are willfully providing aid and comfort to literal Nazis of the past, no doubt in support of the Nazis in the white house. These B!zX clowns are like Elon Musk except without any success or cachet.

You have come up with a whole new prejudice. We do not treat our closest allies like dirt, Trump does. He is not yet dictator for life.

Even by your logic, as long as we are following Trump, we do treat our closest allies like dirt. But more importantly, your logic is incomplete. A real government would have meaningful checks and balances to prevent a new shitty leader from fucking everything up. Ours clearly doesn't, so clearly nobody can trust deals made with us. Of course this was always obvious, for example we have broken literally every treaty we made with the Native Americans we went on to commit genocide against. Nobody should ever have trusted us.

This point really came home in WWII when we delayed entering the war and did a bunch of war profiteering by selling supplies to both sides. We provided critical war materials to the Third Re!ch including metals and fuel. Without us they would have gone nowhere, literally.

It seems like a much more polite to offer incentives to Intel, [...]but it seemed to be yielding good results for as long as it lasted.

What part of what Intel "accomplished" while it was receiving those incentives was yielding good results? They failed at a whole-ass process under those incentives, and laid the foundation for another whole-ass process which is failing right now.

Why is profit not sufficient incentive?

the goal is to support massive data loads from AI, machine learning, edge computing, and even quantum systems

Nonsense. The goal is to have a faster bus. This is great no matter what you're doing with it because you can use fewer lanes to do the same job. All that shit is just buzzwording for attention. Look who it worked on.

It is a necessity that part of the game is loaded to the client that exists beyond just the minimum required to render a picture on the screen.

Record player actions. Use randomly-selected other players' systems (from a pool of those who are playing on the same map) to verify those actions which you flag as suspicious during times when they are waiting for other players to join a match or similar.
