Yes, they are roughly equal but one is growing and the other is on track for a two-year recession.

I think the Russian GDP is roughly half of Germany’s GDP alone

not when measured in PPP

Yes, I am not overly concerned. As I see it with enough cheap energy and technology, it is a livable problem, if only the entire region had peace and stable governments. Some cities in the more prosperous countries have outdoor air conditioning, and what luck cooling is a more efficient process than heating. I personally hope we develop nuclear energy and use outdoor air conditioning in all cities.

Don’t complain about heat if you haven’t lived around the Persian Gulf. I know what true heat is like and you can watch this and see https://youtu.be/adcfm-fBhSw

Dubya: They hate us for our freedom

GCC states get demonized for the treatment of migrant workers and a lot of it is justified. But at least all of them are moving to have heat protection laws in place!

Mass migration due to war or climate change and the rise of radical Islam now rank among the top perceived risks among G7 countries.

So the war on Terror was a failure? now watch the West do it all over again. Crazy racist regimes.

Doesn’t the US count things like the excessive healthcare costs into its GDP?

The days of the US withholding technology to bully the rest of the world into submission are over.

Biden was to the right of Menachim Begin. Hardly surprising. Biden has always been a monster. He is everything Democrats think Trump will be.

Begin said Biden “rose and delivered a very impassioned speech” defending the invasion. Begin said he was shocked at how passionately Biden supported Israel’s invasion when Biden “said he would go even further than Israel, adding that he’d forcefully fend off anyone who sought to invade his country, even if that meant killing women or children.” Begin said, “I disassociated myself from these remarks,” adding: “I said to him: No, sir; attention must be paid. According to our values, it is forbidden to hurt women and children, even in war. Sometimes there are casualties among the civilian population as well. But it is forbidden to aspire to this. This is a yardstick of human civilization, not to hurt civilians.” The comments were striking from Begin, who had been notorious as a leader of the Irgun, a militant group that carried out some of the worst acts of ethnic cleansing accompanying the creation of the state of Israel, including the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre.

That’s where it gets interesting. It uses multiple kernels depending on the version, one of the kernels is Linux but they also have their own kernel.

The software will mature overtime. MooreThreads just needs to be good enough for now. It can sell to all the peoples and organizations that for one reason or another cannot buy from Nvidia and other US-based vendors.

Why do liberals keep falling for this? No one believes in Juche necromancy more than them

I remember when people would import the iPhone before it was launched here. Maybe someone can get you a Huawei. I don’t know how strict your government is about unlicensed devices being sold between private citizens. But there’s a risk that it may not be compatible with the networks in your country.

I think they are going with their own micro kernel design. But they also use Linux on some versions.

They took the Google route. There’s OpenHarmony and then there’s HarmonyOS with Huawei branding and services.

I’m not an expert, I learned this off of Wikipedia

I don’t think I fully understand what it even after reading the Wikipedia article. But it seems to me like there are different OSes by Huawei that share the same name. I think it started out as another AOSP distribution but Huawei gradually replaced the kernel and other layers with its own designs. And judging from the title they are now independent of AOSP.

OS family Unix-like (modified AOSP), LiteOS, OpenHarmony until HarmonyOS NEXT

Of course all these technicalities don’t matter. What matters is the apps and services. If I get a chance to try it I will share my thoughts.

I never understood why people who will never go to China care whether China spied on them or not.

To think this is the country that robbed half the planet.

Of course when looked at with class analysis the owner-class benefited from the empire while everyone else paid the price one way or another. It just never occurred to me that the British could be so downtrodden.
