Ah yes, every year every grade gets a little bit easier, because everybody can just take what’s been done all the previous years.
I listened to this crap about “stealing knowledge” when Japan rose like a rocket among international economies, the song is always the same, and it’s completely ignorant of the fact that ALL rising economies did it on the knowledge of others. But probably none more than USA.
There is nothing wrong with that, and now USA has advanced far beyond the technologies they originally inherited from Europe.
And China is doing the same now, just like Japan did half a century ago.

Yes they are even stealing more advanced technologies from us than we have, I don’t know how they do it, it’s quite amazing. /s

I don’t see how China can be prevented in becoming a global leader in many or even most industries and technologies. The more important they are, the greater the likelihood that China will take the lead, because they will make greater effort.
As I see it, China has the economy, educational system, people and leadership to achieve it.
USA has better economy, but lacks in leadership, and can’t even maintain their infrastructure properly.
India has similar population, but is behind on economy and education.
Europe lacks in population and leadership, and is somewhat hampered by language barriers.

The only way to prevent Chinese dominance in the future, would be for USA, EU and allies to pull together. But there is zero political commitment in that direction, and with the election of Trump, I don’t see that changing for at least the next 4 years. And without it, China will soon become undisputed economic industrial and technological leader of the world, because they have ALL the necessary ressources, and make the necessary political decisions followed up with economic incentives.
China is doing this in every key area, while USA is trying politically only in ONE SINGLE AREA!! (chips)
There is no doubt who has the political leadership for the future.

PS: I am absolutely not a fan of China and their 1 party system, or their foreign policies ATM, they have become more aggressive in international politics and against their neighbors.
I am warning against letting China get too far ahead, just like we were many that warned about Trump. And probably with the same result.

For a terrorist state, this is a mild incident. But maybe it will help to show that Israel is not a lawful state. Making it easier to understand that they are not acting lawfully in many other areas.

If that party doesn’t actually crumble as a result of this, both from internal and external pressures, I’ll be amazed.

Oh the Irony, this is exactly what I thought would happen to the Republicans.

They are absolutely 100% unintelligent, I never claimed otherwise. Still they know what the science says, they just refuse to acknowledge it over their stupid religious faith.

Being an idiot doesn’t mean you are uninformed on very basic issues.
Every single one of these idiots have been presented with the facts at some point. They just refuse to accept fact.

Sure, they know broadly

I never said they know how, but they know the scientists know, but they won’t acknowledge science for the reasons I mentioned.
Every single one of these idiots have been presented with the basic facts, and know them, they simply won’t accept facts over their beliefs.

The point is they have been INFORMED. So they you can’t call them uninformed.
But you can call them ignorant because they CHOOSE to IGNORE facts.

Except there is nothing in the context that shows you are Swedish.
As you can probably see, the vast majority misunderstood you.

Maybe you should have a lok at the context again, because the context clearly implies USA not Europeans.

Every antivaxer knows the Science shows vaccines work, they just refuse to accept science, and claim it’s a conspiracy, because they are religious fanatics, that refuse to accept anything that counter their religion.
I’ve claimed for 20 years that USA as a nation is mentally ill. They celebrate individualism and freedom to a point where sociopathy has become a virtue, because zero moral standards means ultimate freedom. Then they replace their lack of moral standards with arbitrary pseudo moral standards from the bible.
That’s the problem, not that they are uninformed.

closer towards the EU

Hahahaha closer?!?! Hahahaha he calls US allies the true enemies, and Russia and China are not so bad.
What the fuck have you been smoking for the past 12 years?

This has nothing to do with intelligence, but everything to do with selfish entitlement.

Yes this too is really a turnaround compared to “old times”. Intel used to be the safe choice, that’s definitely not the case anymore.

calculating every SHA256 of all MACs

Yes but because I don’t have the folder it reads myself, I can’t see what actually encoded. Are you sure /etc/machine-id is ONLY the MAC address?

because it’s possible to connect to natural persons.

That’s debatable, and is only based on the claim that it’s just a 24bit decoding that can be brute forced. I don’t know for a fact that it’s true that it can be boiled down to 24bit.
I checked my own /etc/machine-id, and the folder doesn’t even exist, so what exactly is supposed to be in it IDK. And yes I use Manjaro.

Absolutely, if Intel hadn’t been sleeping on their laurels for 5 years on desktop performance, and had made 6 and 8 core CPUs themselves before Ryzen arrived. Ryzen would not have been nearly as successful. This was followed by the catastrophic Intel 10nm fab failures, allowing AMD to stay ahead even longer.

So absolutely, AMD has been helped a lot by Intel failing to react in time, and then failing in execution when they did react.
Still I think congratulation is in order, because Ryzen was such a huge improvement on the desktop and server, that they absolutely deserve their success. Threadripper was icing on the cake, and completely trashed Intel in the workstation segment.

And AMD exposed Intel’s weakness in face of real competition. Arm and Nvidia had already done that in their respective areas, but AMD did it on Intel’s core business.

If he really believes that, he is literally insane.

I predicted in 2017 stock price over $100 when that happened.
Took about 3-4 years longer than expected, but still congratulations to AMD, on their successful fight back from the brink of bankruptcy.

You could just assign a random number on install or whatever.

Funny, I thought the exact same thing.

Very smart, he sure showed them. 🤣
