  • Motherboards/routers (these are motherboards too) require very careful inspection, specifically if bios chip is unusual, or extra chip connected to bios. There is concern trolling over routers because Huawei is best in world. There is no concern about Motherboards, because only Taiwan is the competitor to China. The point is that inspections instead of baseless hysteria over origin is the right policy.

  • So “anyone who wants to leave is a traitor who wants higher oil prices”

    I'm just saying the republicans can shout as usual, that any criticism of the "total victory" (withdrawal) is just "TDS that wanted forever war" If you say the withdrawal is a false victory, just as in Vietnam, then surely if you don't hate America, the US should fight a forever war with Iran, until that complete victory is reached.

    the US wants higher oil prices, even though increased costs are fucking murdering the GOP in the polls?

    Just as democrat politicians prefer money to winning, so do GOP. Higher oil prices means more money available for GOP. These money have direct line to Trump. If mid terms had any importance to Trump, Trump the Brave would victory retreat in bravest tale ever.

    stories that have come out from White House insiders about Trump screaming at Netanyahu on the phone for fucking up his peace process.

    Trump is mad/embarassed to be the only dotard president senile enough to fall for Netanyahu BS. Fine, Israel embarasses US's inability to speak for Israel in peace/MoU concessions, but any anger towards bibi's control over Epstein Mossad regime over Trump, has deeper causes than bombing Lebannon or Gaza. Just becuase he raises his voice to Master, doesn't mean he doesn't eventually obey, and hasn't caused the victory withdrawal to happen yet.

  • if the US could just bail, let China and the ME pick up the pieces, and somehow spin is as a victory, why haven’t they done it already?

    I've explained the only answer. US/Trump wants oil prices higher, and Israel cares only about damage/endless war with Iran, and not any costs to Americans or world.

    Yes spinning total withdrawal as a victory is groundwork Trump laid on 2nd day of war. Mission accomplished. GOP media will reinforce victory. DNC criticism will be pushed back as "Dems just hate America, and want higher oil prices, and endless wars". Trump simply doesn't want "victory", is the only answer.

  • To make a stick of RAM spyware, would cost $100k/stick or more, and the engineering to do so, could make HBM6 instead. By all means investigate the chips to see if magic chips are inside, but that is the approach we should take. Why aren't Chinese sneakers spying on you? Far easier to hide and do more cheaply.

    The hysteria of foreign spyware is shaped by established monopolies who want to keep their monopolies. There is never a proposed solution of actually verifying/inspecting for spyware.

  • Trump is definitely incapable of doing JCPOA2, and sending plane loads of cash to Iran. US establishment (serves Israel) is incapable of tolerating peace with Iran. US will only ever fake negotiations, using Mossad agents as head negotiators no less. US will just leave eventually, and that is by far best outcome for the world. GCC/China/Iran will all get closer to each other, but energy will flow.

    At this stage, it should be clear that US/Trump/establishment wants oil as high as possible. They would stop assisting Ukraine's energy sabotage if they cared. They would leave world to figure out Gulf now if they cared about oil prices and deficits, or even recessions, and global financial stability (starting with Japan as first domino).

  • If the markets reject OpenAI and Anthropic, the US should nationalize them

    Jump

  • That only applies to spaceX saps who bought after IPO fraud. The big owners of the 2 LLM companies are Google and Amazon. They can break even on their datacenters because just their stakes will probably reach $1T before saps get to hold the bag.

    Failure can just mean that they need to slow down from the absurd expansion commitments. Saying there must be a bailout is saying that there needs to be 3x more datacenters by tuesday, even if fraud is behind that push. "We need to maintain the fraud for longer" means we need to make the bubble even larger so that bailing out the fraudsters when it pops seems bigger economic impact.

  • If it sounds dumb, it's because it's meant to. "Buy them if they fail" debate leads to more onerous alternative proposals. The US is on a mission to make Skynet for Israel or China wins. It's hard for them to fail when Skynet will pay high prices for their datacenter time. But if they fail, it will be because they are too expensive, and "American people" owning them doesn't pay American people anything if they are stuck losing money forever. And the other alternatives that stem from debate, is "why not just throw government money at bubble top rates?"

  • They can, and will, continue to hold the strait hostage until the US comes to the table with a deal they like.

    I disagree. GCC would just make peace with Iran. Do that $300B investment deal they committed to under MoU, in exchange for no tolls? China will come and help cover everyone's rebuilding. The toll requests were always fairly minimal compared to not selling any oil at higher prices. Trump/Republicans can frame is as though China is being forced to pay for Gulf security, ignoring any favours they get in return.

  • The only eventual outcome is declaring victory and leaving. US is incapable of a genuine respectful peace deal with Iran. Leaving lets them ruminate about how they need to return. Republicans can say that anyone who doesn't support the victory declaration is a traitor who wants higher oil prices.

    The only puzzle is why not sooner than later? The only answer is US oligarchy preferring to use higher oil prices to fund Republicans in election, and Israel firsters who consider any damage to Iran worth unlimited cost to US/Americans.

  • More Renewables Lead To Lower Demand For Methane In Europe

  • Surprising fact about renewable energy: It provides electrical energy! That means you don't need as much other sources of electricity compared to not having any renewable energy. Now you know.

  • 1 egg per day could be worth 20-30c/day to you. Maybe more for freshness and convenience value. 100 days at 6c profit or 200 days at 3c, would pay for the $6 back. End food value is bonus.

  • Hakeem Jeffries says Medicare for all is not legislation he currently supports

    Jump

  • best we can do is return ACA subsidies, and undo GOP harm.

    As minority leader, he's the favorite to be the house leader should Dems gain majority in November. House leader has a lot of control in preventing proposals from coming to the house.

    I don't support medicare for all

    Impeaching Trump is only path to getting any legislation not vetoed, and then impeaching any replacements likely needed too. Returning ACA subsidies may be something that is a horse trade for other deficit wreckage, but his answer was not that "medicare for all is not a realistic law we can pass before 2028" It was what I quoted.

  • A fossil-fuel plant seeing nuclear coming...

  • Not sure if you are actually pretending its out of reach. China's battery additions including EVs is 39% of massive electricity production increases. Rate of growth in battery sales about double while energy growth is 5-8% range. That is much easier for any country that isn't the absolute global manufacturing nexus.

  • A fossil-fuel plant seeing nuclear coming...

  • s your claim still that EVs will form a significant portion of the grid? I thought that trope died sometime around 2020 when it was obvious that Elon is a megalomaniac.

    China is over 60% car sales as EV share. Massive battery capacity just from EVs available, from an auto market 5x the size of the US. LFP continues to have advantages over Sodium Ion (that needs vanadium to be "useful competitor), and lithium is abundant.

    but there’s a reason why no grid runs solely on solar and wind for any meaningful amount of time, and that’s because it’s not physically possible.

    False but the only path forward is not thinking you must nuke all other energy from orbit and turn a switch. Path forward is ever more renewables additions, and using existing infrastructure as backup/winter generation. Getting to 100% renewables is a journey. More and more renewable additions every year. Not a "impossible because it is not current reality" conclusion.

  • German high energy prices are not result of abandoning expensive short term nuclear refurbishments. It is pure colonial extortion by US to force them into war on Russia, and buy US LNG. Global coal prices have risen as well as a result of EU LNG dependence. Any renewables mitigate those establishment energy costs. The one bad energy policy has is not letting industry participate in wholesale electricity markets. They are forced to use fixed rates.

  • Even in US, $100/kwh retail battery price points with bms, 48v, exist. Utility scale in rest of world is much cheaper. China is $51/kwh for a containerized full battery solution with (4 hour) inverter. At 7% ROI (to pay for full 30 year mortgage on LFP batteries as that is their life expectancy at slow charge/discharge rates) means just 1c/kwh discharge profit is required to pay for $55/kwh batteries. Similar calculation for just 4 sun hours/day. $600/kw installation costs at 7% ROI, means 3c/kwh daytime electricity rates.

    There's not just exponential growth as @Hellgruen@lemmy.zip pointed out, it is dumb to do anything else.
