  1. EDA Software is American. The litho machines are Dutch. The mirrors for the machines are German. Japan supplies purified (extremely) silicon. China has several gaps to fill.

  2.  @kamsunleong6648  That is the 'official" story. What I heard is that the US Fed the balloon data and looked to find out how it was encrypted. Very difficult with small chunks. Easy with a long stream. Heh.

  7.  @kamsunleong6648  Yep. Sam was totally scared. Thanks to the balloons American code breakers now have a good handle on Chinese encryption methods. Well done.

  9. I was a talker at DC Central during GQ. Everyone learned fire figting - putting out oil fires with water in a compartment. And damage control. USN '66

  10. Continuous drunkenness can be a symptom of child abuse.

  11.  @erichoppe8228  It will be wonderful to have a hooligan for President again. All nice guys know how to do is to start wars. Hooligans know how to counter other hooligans.

  12.  @nukeputin420  Banning pornography from school libraries is in fact banning books. I do not object to that sort of banning.

  13. "Made in Japan" was at one time synonymous with the current "Made in China". They took an America (Demming) to heart. They made the Americans shape up (America was late to Demming). SPC. Statistical Process Control. I lived through it in the American electronics industry.

  17. And that used to depend on American Free Trade policies. The Americans used their Navy to enforce it. The Americans haven't been doing that for 30+ years. It is beginning to show. The rise of China depended on the Americans. You would think the Chinese would be more appreciative.

  18. Energy production is what raises incomes. The net energy from 'green' is much less than that from coal and oil.

  19. China is easily cut off from oil and food. That is a huge advantage for China.

  21.  @Ezekiel903  Yes! Nuclear carriers have more room for aviation fuel since their total operational fuel load is already in the reactor.

  46. I'm looking at the "show" the US military puts on. It does project weakness. Is the weakness real? So far no one cares to test it. Which may say something about actual evaluations.

  48. Cotton in one end. Finished clothes out the other. Two operators - a mechanic and a software guy. America is building them in North Carolina IIRC. Cheaper than Bangladesh.

  62. You make a very good point. China is known for its outstanding production quality and lack of corruption.

  63.  @donderstorm1845  And yet I read about Chinese fighter jet engines that need to be reworked about every 200 to 400 hours vs Western fighter jets that are good for 3,000 hours. That says they can't hold tolerances as well. Or the design is bad. Or there are material problems. Or corruption. Or all of that and more.

  64.  @donderstorm1845  China implies that it needs more development and production time before starting a war. I believe 2028 is the date mooted. So 4 or 5 years hence. Deflation is hitting China despite inflation of the money supply. Imports and exports. Which says a collapse of production. I suggest you get a stock of copium. A five year supply say. If the war is 4 years away and Chinese earnings go to zero this year, how many tankers of oil will China be able to get in 2028?
    1
  65.  @donderstorm1845  In America a sudden drop of 10% is called a collapse. Now you have to look at the big picture. China's oil is earned by exports. Exports are collapsing. And thus imports as well. And a price decline is excellent. Until the flows drop because of it. Inertia is a wonderful thing. Until it hits a wall.

  66. Water Vapor (WV) IS a greenhouse gas as potent as CO2 according to theory. On average there is 50 times as much WV in the atmosphere as CO2. The fact that it is non -persistent is often mentioned. It doesn't have to be. You can AVERAGE (integrate) the effect. There is on AVERAGE 50 times as much. Trucks are a small worry. Drain the oceans.

  77. Power is a serious limitation in aircraft. A 1,000 watt computing machine is difficult - both from a power, space, and cooling standpoint. A 100 watt machine can be fit in and a 10 watt machine is unnoticeable. Get it under a watt and the plane can be peppered with them.

  78. Narcissism is often the result of child abuse.
