Not just China, exporting anything risks empowering economic rivals.
Suppose foreigners used those F150s and Boeings to revitalise their domestic industry ?
Ban all exports now !

I'm having a little difficulty with the logic of:
You can't supply to company A in China because they have links to the evil mustache-twirling commie hoards
You can however sell to company B (not evil mustache-twirling commie hoards) in China, because obviously they wouldn't pass on the parts to company A
But if company A are evil mustache-twirling commie hoards = wouldn't they just take the parts from company B anyway ? It sounds like the sort of thing evil mustache-twirling commie hoards would do !
So why doesn't Dell just switch to embedding XEN in its servers instead of VMware?
I buy a Dell server, there is a web GUI to spin up and manage a VM. Unless I'm an expert and doing low level tinkering I don't care how it works. If I am a VMware expert then I'm not relying on Dell anyway.
Dell can save money on paying for VMware and pass the saving on to my C-suite (sniggers)
Does the GPL allow me to distribute copies under a nondisclosure agreement? (#DoesTheGPLAllowNDA)
No. The GPL says that anyone who receives a copy from you has the right to redistribute copies, modified or not. You are not allowed to distribute the work on any more restrictive basis.
IIRC redhat were saying that only licence holders could get the code and the licence terms said you couldn't redistribute it.
Generally that's what SBAS is for the USA has WAAS and Europe has EGNOS
It both increases the accuracy a bit but also gives a stronger confirmation signal that you aren't being spoofed.
The original purpose for WAAS was actually to ensure that the GPS signal was real, the FAA got really nervous about that. EGNOS was more important to give accuracy at high latitudes
Greybeard here who did SLS floppies and risking monitors with modeline
Now with all our office apps online and all the dev environment in docker/conda I can reinstall Linux and be back working in a couple of cups of coffee
We had a bunch if windows laptops updated to Win11, between TOM resets, 'the domain has no trust relationship with this machine' login to domain to fix login problems and all day on support calls we're thinking of just going Linux for engineering and Macbooks for suits while all our office apps are Microsoft O365
They think up new euphemisms for firing people
If the economy really tanks there will be a massive market as $1Tn FANG stocks all try to 'right-size', 'best-size' reduction-in-force', 'exterminate' (we dropped that one ed.) or 'rebalance human resources' - and IBM will be at the industry forefront of supplying these phrases
Ireland's GDP all comes from foreign computer companies
This, together with the small population, makes Ireland the richest country in Europe
So Ireland's actual citizens are basically unnecessary
Simply reduce the surplus population and you would solve the energy crisis while increasing Irish per-capita GDP
I have penned a modest proposal to this end
I think we need a CAPTAHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Americans and Humans Apart)
Click on all the boxes that contain a pudding
I just spent a meal trying to define what a "pudding" was to a French colleague = a Yorkshire pudding is a pudding, and a blood sausage is a pudding and a chocolate cake is a pudding?
>Anyone who wasn't the Aryan ideal was an enemy of the state according to Nazi ideology.
Always wondered how they squared that with having Japanese allies?
Nazi1: These Japanese are small weak inferior asiatics
Nazi2: Yes but they are viscous little racist bastards as well
Nazi1: Ok we can be friends
How many people does an online jumble sale need?
A few BOfH, a couple of PFYs, some heavies to go round and deal with anyone who complains, some lawyers to deal with aftermath of previous
Certainly not (100/9) * 1000 employees
Seems a terribly labor intensive and expensive process.
Judging from all the impressively accurate artilalry systems being demonstrated in Ukraine couldn't some much more cost-effective Shooting-As-A-Service be implemented?
Simply enter the coordinates into a local police website, put in your credit card number, and have 155mm of constitutionally protected bared arms delivered to your special friend
>We all know that shifting manufacturing to Asia (out of sight out of mind) has massively backfired and undermined development and prospects of the EU economies.
Yes ASML would have been much better off if Intel and TI had been forced to manufacture chips at home with their own US built steppers and Japanese makers had been forced to use Canon and Nikon
Then ASML could have profitably supplied Philips alone
