Megaspeed made a lot of money renting processing power to chinese companies but while that was legal it got them hostile attention. NVIDIA reduced its dealings with Megaspeed. because of it. Chinese state doesn't like the practice either.

It's all about big players playing the news and 'critical people' priding themselves on only buying 80% of the BS.

The mistake is the point. A lot of people like the idea of NVIDIA losing. A lot of people like the idea of stronger trading restrictions with China.
The spying thing is BS. The gpu smuggling thing is BS - there is a legal loophole where chinese companies rent servertime elsewhere. And the adultery thing is a pretext.

And look how everyone went with it.

I recall an explanation of charge separation in clouds when waterdrops would form a thin layer of ice which would shatter in tiny pieces. This would leave a charged waterdrop behind. The ice fragments and the waterdrop would move at very different speeds and this would lead to separation of charge.

I wonder if those water drops have the right charge for corrosion.

it is possible to calculate the total amount of radiation she was exposed to, and to map that to tables that link radiation exposure to risk of cancer and death.

The tables can probably be challenged - I recall indications that the risks of long term low intensity exposure were overrated. But regardless of that, there will be a question of 'how high does the number for risk of getting cancer have to be before the judge decides the state has to pay compensation?
