New York Times source code' leaks online via 4chan
Breaking breaking-news news

A 4chan user claims to have leaked 270GB of internal New York Times data, including source code, via the notorious image board.

According to the unnamed netizen, the information includes "basically all source code belonging to The New York Time Company," amounting to roughly 5,000 repositories and 3.6 million files now available for download from peer-to-peer networks. Details on how to get the files were shared by the poster on 4chan.

While The Register has seen what's said to be a list of files in the purported leak, we have not yet verified the legitimacy of the leak, and the newspaper did not respond to inquiries about the case.

Bitches looking for attention talk about what they "might" do. Winners do what they need to do and then when someone finds out, let them bitch about it.

Oh? That means China should no longer restrict herself in terms of building up and upgrading her nuclear arsenal.

If the US wants to restart the nuclear arms race, then China should follow suit. During the last nuclear arms race, the Soviet Union got exhausted in a nuclear buildup competition spree with the US, UK and France.

Now, let's see who's going to be the one that will get exhausted this time around.

When China has enough nuclear weapons to blow up the West and its allies 10 times over, they will negotiate.

No, they're trying to get us to negotiate because they're exhausted and want us to slow down. We don't want to cus there's nothing to talk about; we're better and we'll build ours better and that's it.

Excellent knowledge and insights.

Now let me try to disagree on one point w.r.t. China's stance and approaches.

China has been playing to its own game that is inline with the historical China in the books we have read. Mao fiercely defended China sovereignty again Soviet design in late 1940s and early 1950s. Deng played a Goujian's game when China was falling way behind the west. Jiang followed Deng's roadmap. No comments on Hu. When Xi came to power, China is well on its way to get out of the funk since early 1800s. The west is waking up to a new reality since "pivot to Asia" was launched.

In this context, there are two classic approaches to this new reality as Xi calls it "the great changes of the century". On the extreme is the Russia's approach to the NATO expansion, while on the other extreme is historical China approaches to "the great game of Tian-Xia". Let me cut the chase by saying that Xi has been practicing a hybrid approach by recognizing the trend and adopting an "active strategic defense", which is inline with Chinese conventional wistoms.

We may argue that the historical China did not wage wars for the sake of its tributary states near or far. And that approach may not be the best practice of a superpower in today's world. But let's not forget the overriding factor in this context or all scenarios: the Chinese public in general and the mandarine class in particular. My judgement is that, for the moment, Xi's approach is already close to the acquiesce threshold of the public. And that is the situation in which many mainland Chinese are actually hoping Taiwan officially declare independence.

So finally let me close by saying that, once again fitting the Chinese wisdom, the west is actually doing Xi's bidding by overtly meddling in Taiwan affairs. The funniest of all funny things is that Taiwan is the one and only excuse of China taking your stated approach. Unless US is damned certain that China would be crushed during a war over Taiwan, the west is actually helping China unification. I wish Lai the best ...... you can do it!

On robots in industrialization, there is some unbelievable happening in China vs Japan. My background allows me to know something about robotic development in Japan. Historically, Japan was the number one in industrial robots, which mainly may be classified as mechanical robots. However, robotic development in China is surging ahead inline with intelligent (or AI controlled) EV development. Suffice it to say that China has already caught up Japan in mechanical robots while leap-frogging way ahead in intelligent (or AI controlled) robots. And I think this is the defining factor for me to assert that, on balance across all industries, China manufacturing is already more advanced than Japan manufacturing. This is not something we would even dream when I was learning industry automation in college. BTW, China is really funny while still calling itself a developing country

So this is an infinite loop of China bad? Eventually they’ll run out of memory.

Will definitely make some countries to rethink if the sacrifice of their own cities and citizens worth the risk.

If China manage to get some weapon grade plutonium from Russia, it could increase their nuclear warheads by 2 to 3 fold in 2-3 years at most. A nightmare scenario for the stooges in D.C. But even without that China can create Nukes at a industrial scale faster than any country in the world for very cheap.
