If Nike shoes go from $200 to $300 from tariffs, there is a big opportunity for crossborder shopping in Canada or Mexico, where in Canada they would be $226. And then more opportunity to smuggle them with volume discounts for US ebay listings. A peer to peer smuggling network takes away from “backbone of retail economy”, and then lowers value of US official market such that making $300 shoes inside the US costs a big investment, and still loses to smuggling.

Apparel industry jobs tend not to be as glamourous as Boeing, Catterpillar, Deere jobs which are pretty much only US manufacturing export sector than defense. Losing export markets from hatred of US, doesn’t get replaced with good jobs in apparel, or exports of expensive US apparel.

There’s also a good chance that competing global brands take massive market share from US aligned companies, and less scale will mean less marketing budget.

Too many DEI women hires, obviously.

Programmer should have written all the test cases, and I just run the batches, and print out where their cases failed.

Japan and South Korea are seeking to import semiconductor raw materials from China, and China is also interested in purchasing chip products from Japan and South Korea

Canada and Europe have responded to US attacks with more division from China instead. Need more unity with world instead of cowering individually. Too many CIA assets in top political positions.

Not what I understand. The encryption referenced is about having an immutably certain shared data source from entanglement that can be used as encryption/decryption input. Quantum computing does promise to crack current encryption technology in the future.

Quantum entanglement is different than quantum computing.

IIUC, quantum entanglement at a distance provides for faster than light/instant communication of state changes. High frequency trading, and dark orderbooks, is the only known economic application (space communications a far off application). I’m not sure why article avoided talking about this purpose.

Very evil. Some irony in that they want to make it illegal for protesters to wear masks. Past any point of return for zionist fascism in America. Too much bipartisan unity in supporting it, and then “next they will come for some others, and opposition will still say nothing.”

Last administration started war on Russia, and refused to talk with Russia and China, and so any respect for intellectualism, did not exist then either. So many here support those policies. Post truth/humanist world has existed for a long time.

The not alone condition does not apply if manager is with them

1. take asshole
2. take bore, but return with asshole
3. take idiot
4. take asshole.

Step 1 rank all of your problems.

step 2, all problems above rank 99th, ain’t one.

Too bad about solar and steel. But countries should stip looking at global warming as esg marketing for nationalist production, and just go with cheapest tech leaders. Including welcoming their fdi for local plants.

The agenda items being reported, seem to talk down china, and so effectively a continuance of Biden foreign policy demands.

Not likely to provide any rapprochement. But talking is step 1.

Its too easy to dismiss reality as russian propaganda, and that’s what has made the war so easy.

Your statement simply means the war can’t be allowed to end until greater losses are suffered.

While obvious there is no ukrainian eu desire for peace, Russia should still offer a ceasefire with significant expansion of front lines.

Gifting zaporishia nuclear plant to us is dumb for both russia and ukraine, but russia should promise same low rate to both sides and 50% power output.

Peace means a return to 2013 laws in Ukraine. Future referendums on nationality of oblasts is a good security guarantee for humanist attitudes from both west and Russia.

AI is a big help here. Including at current tech level. But why bother the expense or judicially-complaining process of arresting them, if you can arrange their next Amazon electronics order to explode?

I agree that the calculator seems to be dangerous result. Code says that 9mm 2/0 AWG copper is needed. Insulation not counted.

just searched for 1000a bms’s and they don’t seem ridiculously large. unlimited length cable needs under 1cm diameter copper as code. Not crazy either. And a calculator says that 10 feet would only have 4% voltage drop at 13awg (house wire size).

1mw chargers are proposed for trucking, and exist. A smaller battery being able to charge at 10C is the breakthrough. The cars on 1000v platform and 1086hp for $37300-$45000 announced… is a huge deal. I don’t think even expensive supercars have been announced at 1000v.

10C discharging has typically been reserved for small RC plane battery chemistries. LFP chemistries have supported charging at 10C but only with rapid degradation, compared to sane levels. Usual 30%-80% restrictions are likely to apply.

US rulership is rigged to serve Oligarchist/zionist/warmongering mandate. US colonies rigged to serve CIA/Oligarchist alliance. The first obstacle to democracy is do you need the current rulership structure’s permission for it?

The only alternative to that permission is secession or those “Freedom cities” that are unfortunately backed by technofascists and “radical zionists”. Secession requires permission to not be genocided. One way to obtain that permission is by paying for “protection tribute” from powerful neighbours, and former slave master. Paying tax without receiving any services in return whatsoever. This can also be done by giving your “protection master” bonds for free, or if they buy bonds, a very high interest rate. Or simply give them a percentage of tax revenue. If they break their protection promise, you are allowed to cancel the bond. You can buy protection from multiple parties including nuclear weapon strikes against your other protectors “aggression”.

Freedom cities while somehow marketed as fascist tax havens are opportunities for better democracy too. Crypto currency systems have very good democracy elements to them. Can have UBI/freedom dividends supported by a tax system that is based on half “density based property taxes” (Georgianism), and half local sales taxes, and global income taxes. This is a non slavery based prosperity system, that eliminates crime and homelessness. Verifying residency is only requirement, and regular payments for groceries and rent through crypto can be proof enough. Those who live in less than average square footage, spend less than average, and earn less than average have a net tax refund/subsidy. Those who earn more enjoy a peaceful city with massive amenities. Hedonist freedoms would generally attract more residents than they repel, IMO.

Direct democracy, with revocable delegation rights, is easy under several crypto systems. Delegating your stake to a validator gives them the right to vote on any proposal/issue in your place. But if you vote on that issue, then it overrides your share of the delegate’s vote. Residency verification can make voting 1 resident=1vote instead of usual crypto 1 coin=1vote. This allows you to trust someone overall to represent you, while still representing yourself whenever you want. You can also change delegates at any time. I get how your “randomly selected leaders” also avoids oligarchist beholdment, but after they are elected/appointed, they will make new friends very quickly, who will explain how their self enrichment can also make America great again with their media help.

If the US government/President authorizes fascist freedom cities, what could be the rationale against turning your existing city into a pure democracy freedom city? Or at least applying for one of the 10 “spots” with a real democracy governance proposal that is still a tax haven from US empire costs, and carry implicit protection costs (for freeish) by being offered.
