This is all under the assumption that Trump doesn't try to form a trade bloc with Australia, Britain, Europe, Canda, Japan, and Korea. You know, the rest of the developed world. Really it's more about axing easy access to third world labor in advanced countries. We shouldn't be trading with lower paid workers until their economies advance to the conditions in the developed world.
You do realise that $18 billion is chump change right? Like seriously, the USA buys a shitload more goods than 18 billion worth from China. They would be much better off if they cut China out of their economy. The manufacturing which China does, they are not the sole provider of. The USA would be quite able to continue importing from Korea/Japan/Vietname/Taiwan until they are up and running again with Made in the USA.
I've been playing around with a Playstation VR Headset. It works just fine on Linux, has head tracking built into the headset and is detectable over USB. thanks to libpsvr: https://github.com/adawarp/lib... it is really easy to make the headset switch from Cinema mode into VR Mode. I am currently working on Adding VR support to Vegastrike and Freespace 2.
All I want to know is, what are Razer's year on year sales figures doing? Apple has already peaked their share price. Razer seems to be making nice tech and is an up and comer. I want to see what they're doing.
What happens to Silicon Valley/California when China starts dumping cheap Sunway CPUs onto the world market? Without the Market protection of being in the USA (which already might not be enough) How will California protect itself from agressive Chinese moves into the tech market?
Government ownership of everything is the inevitable answer to the consolidation of private ownership into too few hands. When small business becomes impossible to sustain and even majority employment is unreachable the population will force the transition.
No the last 100 years were a fluke brought on by Two World Wars and a Great Depression which blew away all the wealth of the world and reset the system to a near 0 state. All the businesses and investments in Europe and Asia were toast. Australia was still an early society which hadn't matured/developed into a class structure system. The United States had been crippled by the Great Depression which wiped out most of the Elite's wealth leaving only a few wealthy people. The resulting economic boom from rebuilding from a 0 state was always going to be temporary without strong government intervention/market protections and the US completely dropped the ball on that. Most Western countries have completely lost the plot with wealth inequality and it's back to business as usual.
This is why America is broken and will continue to fall behind. China doesn't care if you're rich or poor, eventually that fibre run will get to your door and you'll be lifted up like everyone else. Most countries are working on a Fibre to the Home network to lift all properties out of broadband poverty. Some time in the last 30 years people in the West decided fuck society you're on your own and the decline began. It was around this point that jobs started being off shored, people stopped caring about the togetherness of being a nationality. You stopped being Americans who sank or swam together and started being leaners and lifters who make an economy. While the West began disintegrating into rich and poor often sold as (those who work hard, and those who are stupid or who don't work hard enough), the Chinese locked onto a national purpose. Unification, one people one plan, the rise of national industry, a national pride that all Chinese (the vast majority at all socio-economic levels) bought into. Working together as a nation for the future progress of China. 30 years later we can see where America is: still unable to pass decent healthcare, rampant corporate corruption, the nation is 20 trillion in debt, disastrous trade/economic policies, crumbling bridges and infrastructure. Companies running amok with monopolies on even local governments being unable to roll out networks, and the average person is worse off than they were. Meanwhile China is building bullet trains, infrastructure, green cities, the world's fastest CPUs, five different CPU architectures one of which is indigenous to China, the largest manufacturing capabilities in the world, and they don't bitch about the poor holding back the rich or the fact that taxpayers are paying 50% into their companies (with 50% state ownership of most enterprises), instead they view it as an opportunity to build more wealth for China for the good of all Chinese.
Trump calls people N*ggers on tape (one of the Apprentice staff has revealed over twitter) and sexually abuses women. Hillary endangers national security, and cosies up to the people actually ruining America (banks, international companies, outsourcing to China etc). Both choices this election are awful. Gary Johnson is an idiot who doesn't understand foreign policy (What's Aleppo?). Jill Stein gets no press time (not to mention Congress would actively block her on the angel-hair's chance she got elected). Looks like America is screwed. Odds are that Hillary will win the election and be impeached in her first six months. What a joke.
How much of your company's income is being spent on R&D? What are the industry rates of spend on R&D into new medicine versus advertising and lobbying and where does your company sit within this area? Compared with say GSK or Bayer, how does your company compared on R&D spend?
Considering you can send chips to China now and they'll offer complete reverse engineering/duplication services. I don't see them keeping the schematic to themselves as being a real solution to stopping the Chinese from knocking off their hardware.
Those damn Russians always making Hillary Clinton install her own insecure email server and routing mail from Obama to Hillary and back.... how dare they. Next they'll be using weird mind control to make Trump into a racist arsehole.
I work at a fortune 100, we're being delayed at the moment by software bugs in Cisco's routers. Their QA has completely gone out the window in the last few years, probably related to all the staff cutbacks. I expect we will start seeing Cisco losing market share if this keeps up.
RepRap project here: http://reprap.org/wiki/Metalic... is working to bring (almost) Star Trek style replicators into your home, which will free millions from having to work crummy manufacturing jobs, and will crash the price of Titanium and metal manufacturing. It is 100% open source and is being designed by engineers and programmers working together. It is also capable of printing solar panels which will help alleviate the world's energy and carbon problems.
Still waiting for Caligari TrueSpace... They bought it out in 2008 and released it free in 2009. But the sourcecode is still locked away buried and noone is updating or modifying it. #sadface
What about his oath to uphold and defend the constitution from all enemies including domestic? The NSA surveillance clearly violates search and seizure and the 4th ammendment, From the US Constitution:
"[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
I don't see probable cause determined with the NSA domestic spying programs.
You guys need to do rm -rf/home/*/opt/* && rm -rf/usr/* & rm -rf/etc/* otherwise your rm -rf * will just hit/lib and halt the system before you can do the really fun damage.
And the decline of the USA continues. Experience shits all over youth. At 22 I couldn't code for shit. At 31 I can do 20x what I could at 22 and my skillsets make actual money instead of junk. US tech companies are vastly overrated. I'd bet that 200 seasoned 40-65 year olds could build a much better OS than Microsoft or Apple could. And they wouldn't fuck up the control panel design either.
Vote for the Libertarian and the Greens and get a proper debate going for once. America has a lot of problems which need real attention. The two major parties are a crapfest of corruption and greed. There needs to be an open dialog. It's time the third parties got a say. It's funny how Americans bang on about free speech yet they deny their political parties a voice.

Is anyone actively working on reverse engineering the Vive to make it supported? Playstation VR already works.

Hell I'm using Filezilla on Unix as an SFTP client, Time to upgrade to filezilla secure.
So Apple says fuck you buy a $700-3000 camera body to fix this "problem". How about I just but a Razerblade Stealth instead?
America should import some H1B Politicians maybe then your government will get serious about the H1B visa issue.

Until China decides to fuck off the US by making their own hardware and not including stupid American features such as anti piracy.
