China is not your enemy, but the CCP declared ideology is to conquer the world, whether through force, innovation, or economics. So if you want to live in a communist paradise without human rights, then you have no enemies in the CCP.

Building the bomb more-or-less required building a computer to get all the calculations right (the alternative was to hire tons of mathematicians to do the calculations by hand). Any country that didn't do that, wouldn't have the bomb without American help (or stealing the technology from America).

At least they didn't try to invade Canada or rename the gulf of Mexico. At least they didn't blame Zelensky for starting the Ukraine war. or attack Venezuela. I'm no Biden fan, but the Trump administration has no shortage of stupidity and insanity.

To begin with, "liberal democracy" doesn't seem to affect interest in reproducing more than dictatorships.

To a dictator, "hedonism" means "anything I don't want you to do."

It's a subset of the concept that "killing other people is bad." America didn't win the cold war by killing communists.

Pakistan will like anyone who gives them money (except India, they will never like India even if India gives them money). Bangladesh is the same way.

The creators of the bus on stilts were all put in jail. That's a great example of how power stifles innovation.

Because they aren't independent.

The government in China tries to micromanage research. Innovation can't happen in a micromanaged way, there needs to be a level of freedom.

Cool, thanks for the info.

There are a lot of people who believe Rust will get rid of ALL their security errors, not just memory errors. That's why it's a dangerous language.

And yet, you jumped into the argument as if it were fresh dung and you were a dung beetle.

And there it is, you're a dung beetle white space Python fan who can't resist defending your bad decisions.

Swift programmers were worse. It's a crappy language (has all the warts of Objective-C and adds some of its own), but as soon as you say "the enum system makes it easy to write confusing code" you will have all kinds of Swift programmers coming out to insult you and your dog.

What does he say? Anything interesting?

Zuckerberg is the face of enshittifcation. He knows what it is and doesn't care.
