China would throw 10x as many half assed shitboxes and still win. They need to be cheap and reliable
Russia and China learned a lot for their well placed spies in the US during Vietnam and later the Soviet Unions experiences in Afghanistan. You dont get a clean airstrip, you get crumbling cement, you dont get moderate temperatures. You dont get to slow fast fighters down, you dont get to go low and see all with the new fast kit you had for the next war.
So you have to invest in a lot of different kit, that looks after the crew and lets you fly a varied missions with the crew returning.
The US has tried to focus on emerging electronics and packing multiple roles into one export winner.
Can expensive mercenaries and contractors flying networked drones really fill in the hours and ammo count when other established systems are replaced by the one export winner?
" international sales will offset at least some of the expense both directly and indirectly." are usually subsidized by the US tax payer as a thank you for shared sites, sites for the NSA, joint training and systems integration. Dont forget the shareholders have to be looked after too.
International buyers will offset their own domestic budgets by supporting the emerging USA systems and request big US discounts over years.
They can always hint at pondering other aircraft next time.
Thinking back to the old hardware you could have a secure sandpit and memory on Unix like devices.
You could have a secure sandpit and memory on consumer computers at a huge cost in cash and GUI slowness.
Speed to market for 1.0, GUI look and feel, security, costs, speed to market with new features vs security.
Helping the police and security services without slowing down the dev and release cycle.
The hardware was just too costly and slow at the consumer level vs a responsive, secure, feature rich software offering.
It was beyond the needs of the beta productivity and games rush to market.
Selling to schools, parents and teachers?
Just as a search engine brand likes do deals with US government agencies directly...subcontractor like
Why not do do deals with US educational institutions directly...
You need lobbying, sales reps... partnerships with established contractors and end up with partnerships that range from a few thousand dollars to multiple millions.
Voice prints;) and you get the inner circle of friends and family trusted to play phone games all day.
As far as crypto goes, a key logger or software layer to capture every keystroke would be easy to introduce to any consumer device pushed down the tame phone network.
Every digital layer a call makes without the voice part. Who you called, who called you, unique phone and network details. Dump form enough towers and you get locations over time.
The same problem existed for the East German files on the West. The East Germans had good long term human contacts around top West German leaders in gov and the private sector. The files you will see are mostly on East Germans been totally spied on by their own friends, family and gov. The huge risk is the historian showing methods and plots as seen from an outside service been noted for and now found. eg what East German saw in West Germany. It also shows why the the usual sock puppet question of where all the leaks for Russia and China are: they might have existed over decades but will only be published in small cleaned up sections in national archives. More on what Russia did internally, less on what Russia saw western governments and intelligence agencies doing.
Just like the UK records around SLO (Security Liaison Officers) where after 1945 and released only after the High Court in the UK forced their release in April 2012.
Think back to how Nixon opened closed China up to the free West.
Think about the tax status of the emerging industrial parks in China.
You had low cost workers, low cost local inputs for all the regional products.
Then you had the costly cutting edge science from West Germany, Japan, the US, South Korea been installed with local partners to escape their own taxes and costs.
Decades later the owners have two options: find more cheap workers in a Laos or Indonesia or other nations that provide lines of cheap, steady, skilled hands to put together tiny parts to make a final product. vs.
New robots on the old sites in China as all the services are in place.
China is also changing. It wants its own brands globally and not just be the factory floor for value added outside brands.
The cost and complexity of saving costs on every tiny gap and space in new product is slowly getting more costly with human hands than with new robots.
Its cheaper in China as many interests who make products sold out long ago. Everything is in place and ready. In other nations you have to lobby for breaks in federal, state, city taxes and request discounted site services. Only to find out the government got voted out and your tax break was not legal and the site is been fined until full payments are made.
Communism offers todays entrepreneurial capitalist some certainty for a set price.
It gives you a more random media access control address (MAC address, a unique identifier), keeps the storage clean, the VPN gets you an ip back in your own country via a more secure pipe.
A free OS can be found on monthly open source computer magazines saves downloading.
Ensure your 2nd hand computer does not have a mic or camera:)
Its hard to work out what the issue is.
China will see the product in the same way it saw 4k displays at 30 and 60 Hz. A flood of new VR products at a working class price point to meet market demands will be in shops globally.
Some will have Windows, Mac and Linux support, others will be more driver and OS bound.
So in time you will be able to find some great made in China VR products at various price points with interesting hardware support for your VR needs via brands from China.
No need of think about the past, just think of the VR fun, dev support and product selection from China.
China will do what most nations do, route around any issues and get back to sales of their own products.
Compatible headsets for all, just not from one brand at the expected price point:)
That will be the new reality. Enter the country without any electronic equipment. Buy from a 2nd hand computer/recycling shop. Use new storage in computer at one secure location via a trusted VPN and no driving around with your cheap laptop. Return computer without storage when done. Exit.
The big risk was having your laptop like device cloned at the border. Now just having a computer is part of a civil forfeiture risk.
Or some German word thats whispered during a search with the handler pointing to an area.
The dog then slobbers or moves ie 'alerts" - instant "probable cause":)
3. They don't need probable cause to search when crossing the border of the country.
4. Or when you're within an area referred to as a 'buffer zone' or 'national security corridor', which extends something like 100 miles from the international border itself, and can go even further in some cases.
Dont forget what is found during a traffic stop in some areas of some states that then leads to civil forfeiture.
ie your cash is removed and the hidden digital storage device is also examined.
They should read Plato's Cave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and understand what the USA has got so perfect.
Give the people all the far left, right, far right populist, pundits, crusaders against corrupt politicians, faith based groups, labor rights activists, news aggregator sites, fronts for foundations, fronts for tax free think tanks, charities and self made talk radio stars they want.
Over time the thinking public will level out onto some online community and quote 1984 or/and libertarian authors against trolls and government provocateurs.
If they do protest they are herded into pre arranged free speech zones to listen to their leaders give passionate rants about great court victories or their freedoms winning over new people.
Go back home, post to forums/web 2.0, emerge to be herded into pre arranged free speech zone every few months to be shared in full HD on web 2.0 for free.
A few random take down notices really make the supporters feel like they are winning.
No anti Vietnam war or 1980's Eastern Europe optics to worry about. Just well funded right wing foundation fools and far left talking points preaching to the choir.
Dont worry about any opposition, protect and project it 24/7.
Russia knows its user count, networking speeds (past copper, new optical) and cpu needs to switch or database at a commercial and gov level.
Some options are:
Import software and hardware that is perfect in terms of heat, speed, future needs, size, support and code supported.
The US or its competitive 'clone' is great on any site due to instant backdoor support.
Import hardware that is perfect in terms of heat, speed, future needs, size, support. Try and rewrite all needed code in Russia.
The US or its competitive 'clone' is great but did it stop on the way to Russia for an upgrade?
Russia has great staff, "unmetered" power for temperature and cpu use and huge secure sites.
Why the need for no heat, top speed, future needs, tiny size? Just line up Russian built white boxes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W... end to end and code over the massive expected hardware speed drop? Heat is not an issue, size is huge, network is not going to get millions of new users added per location as designed. Russia then has new jobs, own hardware, own code, own network.
Might be slow build and physically hard to upgrade but every aspect will be fully understood by expert local staff. Just keep finding secure hall sized sizes as needed.
The next step is to air gap and migrate medical, banking (at a global, trade, negotiation level), court and police databases off any US or NATO originating OS, database or rented turnkey networking solution.
New hardware imports is still the huge issue that Russia cannot escape even with all clean code and local storage.
The good part with US servers and the US cloud was lack of hard encryption and a legal 'cut out' e.g. a federal "finding" for the NSA to get in and collect it all from tame US telco product providers.
As hinted at via ideas around "QuantumInsert" show that time and distance to a cloud or server is good news for the NSA and friends.
i.e. a man-in-the-middle fake web page is great on distant optical but may be more tricky within Russia needing tame Russian staff and an unnoticed Russian site.
If you can get the cloud or servers used by Russians out to the US or a tame friendly country with shared facilities its less hard work.
Within Russia your back to the human side
"The name is Blond... James Blond: The moment US 'spy' has shaggy wig revealed by Russian secret service after being arrested for offering millions to agent to switch sides" (15 May 2013) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...
Russian cannot protect its wider internet use as it moves around the EU and beyond. In Russia the US has to try the human approach - something any nations security services are always ready for in their own cities. Russia knows it needs to project its banking, trade, science and culture out to the world on its own terms and via Russians.
Russia also knows the less vital networks it has floating around the world - the slightly less easy it is to totally tap.
Russia lost a lot in the 1930's - to early 1950's due to sloppy code use. Russia learned fast that one time pads if used correctly (no reuse) do work.
The problem is a vast rate of vital data moving on 'international' junk banking and telco crypto standards on cheap peering.
The Russian solution is to risk what it knows will be lost on international networks and do the best they can back in Russia on their own networks.
Will it work? No, the NSA and GCHQ got to many large scale internal Soviet networks over time. Back to humans, typewriters, one time pads and number stations.
Generations of West Germans who tapped into the copper, grew up with the change to optical and digital where all happy to help the NSA.
Later they selected Germans who tapped into the to optical and digital networks. They where all happy to help the NSA.
Generations of trusted, cleared German staff who know nothing but ensuring the NSA gets its 24/7 "collect it all" feeds and other special tasks.
In East Germany you had generations of trusted, cleared German staff who ensured Moscow got its daily updated on dissidents and any spy networks East Germany had established.
If this news is true and not some trust us "We found FSB" distraction it shows a new side to internal German security.
German staff members more loyal to the USA or Russia are not just able to report over decades so Germany can be allowed to play big politics.
Some clandestine units in Germany could finally be protecting Germany interests, jobs, trade, science and their own gov secrets - for real this time.
Thats great after so many decades of collaboration: east or west.
Yes the many deals with the US e.g. by Reinhard Gehlen by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R...
Then you had the Gehlen Organization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G... with US Army G-2 (intelligence) and what was to be/is now the "CIA".
Packed with former Nazis with ww2 networks in Russia to offer. As many where open to WW2 related blackmail by the Soviet Union some where turned.
The Soviet Union and East Germany gained many insights into the early role of the CIA in West Germany, emerging West Germany methods and department structures. Any CIA networks in the East where quickly turned or removed.
