Unmentioned, but also means the return of the "big hatch" and a cargo vessel that can transport ISPRs again.

Umm, your timeline for Skylab is off by about a decade. Skylab wasn't even in orbit in 1983, nor was any Saturn V operational then. I'm assuming that "8" was a fat finger?

I wouldn't worry too much about that. The semiconductor industry is full of chokepoints, and it's been that way for years. It wouldn't matter if you somehow had access to a fab competitive w/TSMC, and ASML lithography hardware, for example without key chemical and material suppliers from Japan...

They keep getting TikTok as it is now (the purchase is for TikTok USA's operations). TikTok isn't hosted in China (and hasn't been for years, even before the pandemic). It's hosted in Singapore, Malaysia, the EU (I think UK as well), and the US. American user data is already stored in the US...

I still exist, still make PlayStation things, and occasionally comment on some articles... Also, kudos to @Schpyder for randomly encountering me in a totally tangential Discord and pointing this out...

I saw this last night and the moment I saw Taiki mentioned, I figured it wasn't far from Interstellar's launch site. The area itself is an old JAXA facility that they've been sub-leasing out to commercial companies getting into space launch. Stephen mentioned MHI, I guess I should also mention...

My go to for a while now has been demucs.

Slightly different though as "OtherOS" and Linux were never on the box though. Nor was there any in-box paperwork mentioning Linux. There was an entry for OtherOS, but most of that was just selecting that for boot "something else". Everything else was documented here...

I don't think it's necessarily hubris. When a country the size and scale of China decides to make it a national priority that will span decades, it can happen. Keep in mind at one point in time the industry was very US centric. Then in the 80's and 90's became very Japan centric. From a hardware...

Minor nit: ASML is the only supplier of EUV exposure machines, but not the only supplier of EUV lithography equipment. Lithography equipment covers a range of aspects including masks, resists, support films, chemicals, etchers, washers, etc., and all that comes from a slew of other companies...

Not quite. As far as MIPS implementations go, the PS1 was quite dated. Likewise with the PS2. So not "unthinkable." Granted there were other areas that were quite advanced at the time the hardware taped out, but that the same with any console. Jaguar and GCN2 had only debuted a few months...

The only similarity between the A4 and A15 is the A in the name and loosely sharing the ARM ISA. It's about as much as a "family" as Intel's "Core" or "Pentium" branding.

Has little to do w/PowerPC and more to do with the whole chip architecture (and its "relatively high" clock). PS2 had the same issue, it's just a lot older.

This is good to hear. Just sayin'....

I think you meant to say "disposable?"

Jiang Zemin was paramount leader longer than Xi has been. Xi still needs a few more years to surpass his tenure. Each leader has their own ideology (each with their own slogans, etc.). The US only cares now because China is now a large enough economic rival to threaten the US's dominant...

Yeah, me too, get in line. You're missing the point. From the Chinese regulator's perspective, if you're not registered to operate in China, then you don't exist and you can't ban what doesn't exist. Chinese internet is "the internet." If you make a hole visible, then it will be conveniently...

China doesn't ban American social media in China. American social media has largely withdrawn from the Chinese market (LinkedIn being the last one to pull out last fall) because they couldn't/wouldn't comply with local law or if they did, found it too unpalatable to do so. Likewise were also...

Apologies but Pedantic Mode: on. There is no "TikTok Inc." TikTok LLC is registered in Delaware (typical incorporating in the US). The Caymen incorporation (TikTok Ltd.) is probably about taxes, and business neutrality, and it's easier to decouple rest of the corporation from US regulatory...

Telegram is pretty weak in that regard (plus they've been blocked before). I think the larger group chat support is a bigger factor than E2EE (otherwise iMessage would be disabled as well).
