This wedding really demonstrates the difference between China and India.

Archetypal Western propaganda: for a westerner, it's "individual responsibility". For a Chinese, it's "the system's fault".

I can't agree more. Agriculture adds little value to the economy and we will all be fine without it. In fact, we can just eat cakes, which grow on trees without the need for farming, as far as I know!

Please don't burst my bubble and discredit FLG at this critical juncture! Who will bring us this year's convincing story about the collapse of the Three Gorges Dam otherwise?

good analysis on the crowdstrike fiasco, a few key points that stood out:

Crowdstrike's culture also appears to fucking suck. A recent Glassdoor entry referred to Crowdstrike as "

Interesting analysis of the Vietnam situation:

Apparently the temporary leadership made several provocative moves before the SecGen died, including strengthening ties with Philippines and filing a UN claim

This does not bode well for China Vietnam relations and may indicate the late SecGen was the only thing stopping Vietnam from becoming an adversary

Vietnam will slowly transition towards the United States. If it wasn’t for Us hell bent on containing China, most China people would want to align with the U.S. So why wouldn’t Vietnam.

The powers that be will not stop in their attempt on his life going from now until the elections
Trump winning the elections won't stop them from trying again.

No WW3 as no one is going to fight for Israel. It's about time Russia step up in aiding Syria; maybe Iran can start be more aggressive as Israel have been attacking Syria for some time now.

It's actually pretty easy for a single line of code to cause this much trouble when working with systems security. Due to the nature of computer systems, giving them "security" is extremely difficult, and amounts to "reducing" the functionality of the system. If done incorrectly, it could just end up "reducing" the functionality to zero.

It's a bit hard for hackers to insert a single (or more) line of code, but it can be done, and has been done before. But generally, (state-sponsored hackers aside), hackers don't really have such chaos as their objective, because it's hard to make money from such chaos.
The amount of times I used a value when I should have used a pointer, or vice versa gives me nightmares. Imagine seeing a segmentation fault and having to search through thousands of lines of code for a single character mistake. P A I N

Because it wouldn't serve their best interest. By your logic, the US the is best and why doesn't everyone align with the US? Because they have separate interests. Why doesn't the world just follow US diktat and support Israel?!?

No WW3 as no one is going to fight for Israel.

An plausible scenario is that the…

US allows the Ukrainians to conduct deep strikes into important Russian assets. Then claims they aren’t a party because those are Ukrainian weapons not Americans.

Russia fulfills their threat of arming American enemies around the world as retaliation. Like the Houthis. They use advanced Russian weapons against Israeli or Western Warships.

Then they proceed to claim the exact same point as the US did over Ukraine. But we all know the US political scene will go completely crazy.
