  1. OH no. American companies are sooo ARFRAID by zymano · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If any of you really knew about economics of the world today you would know that the CHINESE are experts at taking others tech and copying it. Another point is that the reason most companies leave for China is because of the SLAVE labore wages. Do you really believe this chip will compete against the big FABs of the U.S. ? I will believe when i see it.

    I want to see real benchmarks before i rag on it but i can tell you that making chips is not like making HOTWHEELS. The big FABS in the U.S. are on more even ground since this isn't about dirt cheap labor that makes a product.

    The Chinese nor other Asian nations believe in bilateral free trade. They put up walls on all Foreign-American products. If we made those Toys and textiles here in this country they might be more expensive but homemade product would be of better quality and flowing dollars to war like disruptive power would be stopped.

    All I could make out was a bunch of guys in funny hats running up and down lines of bars moving what looked like round wooden balls. Looked funny as the groups of balls then were counted by an old man in a RedHat, who sent the results to output, after he checked the results against the government blocking code base.

    I do care about what the state of Israel is doing though

    But you don't seem to care about what the state of Palestine is doing.

    I don't wish to take sides here, but I wonder: How many times would they have to blow up public markets and schoolbusses full of children in your country before you and yours would be calling for their annihilation?

    Honestly, the fact that most Isrealis are only calling for unilateral separation (the Berlin Wall 2, as you put it) is pure benevolence in my opinion.
