“If they cannot get those machines, they will develop them themselves,” he said in an interview. “That will take time, but ultimately they will get there… The more you put them under pressure, the more likely it is that they will double up their efforts.”

USG acts like the people in Taiwan don't have families over in Fujian, and a strong incentive to get recruited to assist the Chinese build this expertise. Invincible ignorance.

N'wahs who aren't even aware there are generic indexes at work and then wondering why shit is so inefficient.

As I've mentioned previously, they're slavic USA, which means they also have the "$35 million dollar blue halliburton tarp" disease.

Tucker is more of a symptom of the ongoing intra-elite war. A large faction is already coalescing around the Silicon Valley VCs who realize the system ain't working. Tucker is just a shark swimming toward blood.

If mastodon is to be the poster child of the fediverse it needs to drastically simplify the requirements to run and maintain an instance. There should be a single binary, self-updating, single-user instance.

It's the tragedy of the commons. The core problem to crack is how to make the costs bearable by the users themselves.

Hybridization thanks to Max the Great of Bavaria, who is more famous for being one of the causes of the league wars.

On his 2024 run and life in general.

Such an evil measure, once adopted, will guarantee world war 3.

This has been known for years, but people need periodic reminders that women choosing not to breed with irresponsible but attractive men is what prevents young hoodlums. So long as our matriarchy encourages what Rollo calls retroactive cuckoldry this situation will not change even with stepfathers involved, as personality is largely heritable.

Mortgage mills 2 da gas chamber

Great example of how centralized economic planning fails, while subsidiarity and the market actually work. This is the sort of system the Syndicalists generally prefer (for good cause) and why "Market Syndicalism" is a thing amongst those who realize nonmonetary compensation is in fact one of the major means by which markets actually function. In this case, synchronized plantings increasing yields due to pest suppression is more valuable than the marginal utility of more water for the upstream planters, so they gladly release the water downstream.

Pretty damning evidence that CIA had full foreknowledge of the plot, and tried to pin the failures on the bureau, who as we know covered everything up.

20% lifespan increase when modulated. Trouble is, you'd modulate with an HDAC like Valproate...which necessarily means reduced ability to fight off viral infection. Appears the big function of the histone modulation here is to avoid viral replication by processing DNA more sloppily on purpose. Saves your life immediately at the cost of reducing your overall lifespan.

The second I heard discord, I knew this is feds

One weird trick to wake up to VBIED attacks in major Texas cities. Were I in AMLO's position I would seriously considering using those nationalized lithium reserves to build H-Bombs.

On l'etat's favored divide et empera of late. This is specifically how they've dragooned every business into being unpaid Junior G-Men. The same techniques can easily be used to abolish the entire bill of rights in practice. Spooner has always been right about the constitution of no authority.

As usual, people are mad about racism online(TM)

Daddy issues as an ideology. The only thing worth mentioning here is that all mental models are necessarily false, and that only some are useful. These "skeptics" adopt the ones that make them part of ingroup, as that is what's useful to them -- all these issues are far beyond their own locus of control and it is therefore safe/useful to believe in any kind of nonsense.

Like the FIB was just the evolution of prohibition cops after that disappeared, this stuff was just redirected (temporarily) at the American people due to the terror war being on hold. Rather than doing Daesh "Deradicalization" agitprop, they instead treated everyone who disagreed with the NIH and Russiagate as terrorists. Now they've moved on to being NAFO dipshits, because their budget can really only do one thing at a time -- they are but a wart on the anus of the state.

Thanks to not heeding Zbig's warnings, our elites have failed. They're too busy grifting for engagement to be effective.

I pray the empire dies with a whimper, not the murder-suicide it feels like things are building towards.

Last week, during the Schuman Forum, Josep Borrell presented his first report on the implementation of the "Strategic Compass". The idea is to coordinate the pooling of national armies, including intelligence services, in a spirit of integration rather than cooperation. Emmanuel Macron’s project now buries that of Charles De Gaulle and the French Communists. The "Europe of Defence" now appears to be a slogan aimed at placing not only the operational forces of the EU member states under the authority of the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), now the US General Christopher G. Cavoli, but also at taking control of all the financing decisions that were previously the responsibility of the national parliaments, and even of the decisions on armaments and organization that were the responsibility of the member states’ executive bodies. Thus, the Union is organizing a common army without knowing who will command it.

Note the seizure of control for finances. That's a key part of any actually successful coup.

Incandescents cost less, have better light, perform in cold temperatures and last longer. I guarantee you the energy to manufacture this shit is far more than the entire lifetime of usage for 10 incandescents.

2 things at work: Relentless inflation reducing standards of living such that all which can be reasonably afforded is a reduced selection of mass produced glop. Secondly, women making 90% of purchasing decisions. They can be counted on to stick with the herd.

Some sanity at the editorial board prevailed enough to publish Trita Parsi.

In a multipolar world, shared responsibility for security can be a virtue that reduces the burden on Americans without increasing threats to U.S. interests. It is not security that we would give up, but the illusion that we are — and have to be — in control of developments far away. For too long, Americans have been told that if we do not dominate, the world will descend into chaos. In reality, as the Chinese mediation has shown, other powers are likely to step up to shoulder the burden of security and peacemaking.

Needs to be said, as this hallucinatory hyperventilation about what will happen if we don't win in every shithole everywhere is the mainstream opinion.

As always. It's got a helluva ROI for them, so I can't say I blame them.
