  • This is a good thing, though? All the Chinese companies already use USB-C. Just force Apple & Co to comply, and you cut down on so much inconvenience and lost time, not to mention e-waste.

  • The fishing boats are Venezuelan. The tanker is Chinese.

    Edit: Chinese -> Turkish

  • But why does Algeria need Su-57s? They aren't at war with anyone, and don't have any neighbours (except France) who have comparable tech, right?

  • India or China ... being large landmasses without much interruption by mountains.

    Both India and China have one large plain covering about a quarter of the country, and a handful of smaller plains with about half the land covered by hills and mountains. Not that different from Europe.

    China and India, with their vast floodplains, could both feed an astounding amount of people and remain more or less unified in a single political entity for extended periods of time

    China was unified for most of its history. India was only politically unified by the British - historically there would be one large state somewhere in the central plain, and dozens of smaller states that may be under its economic and cultural hegemony, but otherwise independent.

    Jump

  • groups that display the Union Flag and the Saint George's Cross

    There's some difference between these two. The first is cringe but otherwise run of the mill tory, the second is EDL shit. US equivalent would be flying the official US flag vs flying the Confederate flag.

  • Daily dose of atrocity propaganda: IOF soldier reported executed via air embolism (someone took a syringe and injected her with air)

    Jump

  • Depends where it is, but generally no. They'd need to inject like a large syringe full of air to have a good chance of killing her. Even if they wanted to kill her, there are easier and more plausibly deniable ways to do it (like 'accidentally' giving multiple doses of an actual medicine).

  • Pardon my impudence, but is this not a variant of the sudo rm -rf technique developed by the infamous h4X0r known as Four Chan to pwn n00bs on the interwebs of yore?

    And now, with the power of AI trained on reddit, everyone gets to experience it firsthand!

    Ah, the classics! Truly, they bring a tear to mine ancient eyes ...

  • Hmm,

  • Nuonce is for cowards.

  • Africa's forests have switched from absorbing to emitting carbon, new study finds

    Jump

  • Gains in savanna regions due to shrub growth have not been enough to offset the losses.

    This is concerning. One big hope was that global warming would help grasslands and savannahs expand into the desert and absorb some carbon dioxide. Looks like that's happening, but we're somehow cutting so much forest it nullifies any gains.

  • The current (northern) line to Europe is China - Mongolia - Russia - Belarus - Poland. A line to Africa would need to go through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia or Jordan and Egypt, and that's excluding Israel. (A line through the Gulf of Aden would be ... Saudi Arabia - Yemen - Djbouti.) You just need one country having a colour revolution to shut the whole thing down.

  • Consumer-grade electronics are a sector in which, if you are the leading company - as a state-owned enterprise would be - open-sourcing your designs is not only harmless, but beneficial. The production lines take huge amounts of time and money to set up, and by the time your competitor learns your design and sets up their factory, you've moved on to a newer and better design. Meanwhile you get an army of nerds writing free drivers for your hardware, and maybe even pointing out any design flaws you missed.

  • "China cant veto the colonize gaza resolution or else it will become a Moral Empire"

    Jump

  • A rail line from China to Africa would have to go through so many countries that maintaining it would be a diplomatic nightmare.

    Also the Gulf of Aden is only 26 km wide and 300m deep at the western end, so a tunnel there isn't out of the question.

  • AMD & NVIDIA Reportedly Consider GPU Cuts, ASUS and Others Slow Motherboard Plans Amid Memory Shortage

    Jump

  • True, but again, open-sourcing the designs is more likely from a stste-owned enterprise than a private one.

  • Dismantling the cartel will reduce each company's R&D budget and slow down progress.

    The tech sector, with its high R&D requirements and extreme vertical integration, is a good example of why the socialist solution to monopoly (bring it under state control and run it in the public interest) is superior to the social democratic one (break it up into multiple smaller private companies).
