I believe that the shareholders are quite happy?

Can you further clarify your reason for connecting democracy and technology?

There is consensus that the current nominations for cabinet are heavily oriented to separating the disloyaistlls in order to define targets. McTurtle in his prime was a competitor, but I imagine it will be easy to move against him these days

That is well put. Thank you for that.

Pun or typo?. We’ll never know.

There are some 8 weeks for real action.

Ukraine has clearly stated what they need, and much of it is clear, some is even free. There is no risk of escalation anymore. Do it or don’t do it, but stop playing games.

The Baltics are in a much stronger position than Ukraine. They are in Nato already, and are geographically important as a buffer to the only Nato members who actually take Russia as a serious threat (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Poland.) Tactically, air and sea defence of the Baltics is externally feasible, and the Baltics nations have focused on building land defense over the recent years. If you combine this with the obvious Russian war fatigue, and lack of resources, it is clear the Russia doesn’t have the capacity to invade the Baltics over the next two years at least, even if the Belarusians participated.

All of this becomes even harder if the Russians are gifted Ukraine and have to occupy it militarily.

Can you point me to any guides for doing this? You did in another comment

I agree that it would have been better to have legitimacy, despite the results. Now you have legitimacy, and bad results.

I don’t know why you are getting down voted. She lost , so she was a bad candidate.

She might have been a good candidate, but she was never chosen in the primaries, so why would the voters choose her.

The candidate wasn’t bad, at least not as bad as 2016. The process was bad. The Democratic primaries have been suspicious for a long time - so they aren’t trustworthy.

Don’t forget all the Democratic shakiness, just because of the Republican shakiness. Democrats needed to gain trust.

I have no problems with the action, and I have no problems with his attitude.

The effort to isolate Russia is an acceptable result of the Russian violent invasion. Russian citizens are not to blame for their nation’s behaviour, but they do share responsibility.

Removing contributes from the maintainers list is not an extreme action, but it is important as a statement.

As for not feeling the need to defend the Russian citizens, it is nearly righteous for people from nation’s that have been bullied by their neighbours.

He went beyond that. “As a Finn, do you really expect me to up in arms to support the Russians…”

Bravo, slow-clap.

US legal mechanisms for internationally enforcing US law are not like domestic enforcement mechanisms. The scenarios that the pro-China folks here are talking about involve a (completely unrealistic) switch in Taiwanese allegiance, that would make US economic enforcement less relevant, and US military enforcement a serious international risk.

There are just a lot of tankies commenting, and you have to be able to interpret their logic.

Do you think China could soak enough capacity to get TSMC to turn away from all of its major customers? Isn’t most of their industrial design focused on consumer products with automaton, not high end chips? Are there many high end Chinese chip designs?

The CCP definitely have more say in Chinese tech than the US Government has over US tech. In China, the government controls industry, in the US industry controls government. That said, both are likely backdoored.

You are forgetting that Taiwan has an interest in supporting the U.S. led sanctions.

his community can get pretty toxic, predgidist (sp?!?) but also just hostile and combative.

I know how to multiply by zero

Ah yes, a move to be more like Clinton, and Biden. They had strong campaign ideas.
