If China has not fought a war in 50 years, how do they have experienced generals? There is no evidence Xi is an incompetent madman.

It's more likely his mother borrowed money from other people and he paid her debts.

Not sure why this comment was dead when it contains an interesting perspective.

I vouched for this comment because it sparked an interesting discussion chain on candidate vs. third party spending.

"What if smart boards were actually good, could use the whole room, and track arbitrary physical objects?"

combined with

"What if you could create/edit a computer program like you rearrange furniture in a room?"

appears to be the sales pitch.

I would recommend watching the video though because there are few more pieces to it such as how it is programmed, etc.

>Support for external QSPI PSRAM

The post claims PSRAM is supported.

>TerraPower’s investors and development partners, including Bechtel, GE Hitachi, PacifiCorp, and Berkshire Hathaway.

For people not familiar, PacifiCorp is majority owned by Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett). They operate many coal-fired power plants in the region including near Kemmerer where the new TerraPower facility is. I see this as a positive sign for the success of the project.

A functional government has a monopoly on violence. Funding public sector R&D is tax money well spent, but it's still monopoly money.

I vouched for this post because it talks about the Telegram issue and the more general idea of the role of citizen open source intellegence gathering which I think is an interesting and relevant topic.

This was a really well done article.

I like collecting examples that confirm/deny my biases. Would you mind sharing the demographic differences between the two schools?
