they want you to sue your phone
probably why NVIDIA is planning on buying American open model provider for a zillion dollars.
do you think the French security state and tech industry are not competent enough to put in a backdoor ?

Feeling if Syria is better off really depends on what sect you are in. But the unhappy groups are being killed iff. Soon only the happy groups will remain.

It's because Russia doesn't want to take over a complete wasteland that will be unproductive for decades if Russia ends up absorbing all of Ukraine.

Thiel's main goal is no income tax. One of his other goals is autarchy. Ridiculously high Chinese tariffs dovetail with this just fine.

if you spend the zillion dollars on switches and racks and power and cables and redundant power in your datacenter for infiniband(the only vendor: Nvidia), you get IB.

if not, you get RoCE over ethernet.

My last memory of him writing was he claimed he has definitive authoritative inside info that Google was going to start charging up to a $1 for each search request on the website.

Epoch Times/Falun Dafa is sad you ignore them.
The girls school strike was followed up by a strike minutes later. Same spot. The girls school children was probably made up of the kids of IRGC members.

A strike on the girls school would attract IRGC members to it, who could be finished off with the second strike.

I think the attack was deliberate.

The Russians have learned from the best.

Look up how successful the US has been in getting right wing crazy people elected as the heads of state in nearly every Central and South American country by funding right-wing groups, with the exception of Mexico and Brazil (but top minds are working on this).

North Korea was more prosperous than South Korea, until the US bombed flat over 85 percent of the buildings in North Korea. 20 percent of the population of North Korea died.

I'm going to bookmark your comment and read it instead of drinking coffee every day this month, thanks.

US cynically removed them from the Terrorists list in 2012.

This is getting too big to ignore and is leaking into mainstream popular culture.

In the most popular streaming show atm (new season of Reacher), a main plot point is CIA and State Department and Green Berets involvement in a village massacre in Indonesia in the 90s (in the land of the tv show), this is of course a reference to the CIA and State Department indirectly murdering 1 million Indonesians 1965-1966.
