You’re so deeply wrong @dee_bosa Chinese AI is neither better nor stronger You’re a victim of the disinfo campaign aimed at the false narrative you are repeating: chip controls don’t work Chinese AI firms are fighting to get US chips, and their models show it Controls work

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis: Show us your laptop. Show us your iCloud. Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation. You won’t. You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out. That is not who we are. My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count. For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame. I no longer believe that. Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us. And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts. That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena. Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next. Life does not determine our character. It reveals it. Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next? We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day. So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop. You won’t. The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing. That is the only definition that matters.

Hey, unificationists, is this the regime you want Taiwan to merge with? Really? You know who you are. Go on. Be brave, tell us *this* is what you want for the Taiwanese people.

Taiwan’s ITRI has become the first non-US institution authorized to certify drones for US compliance standards, accelerating Taiwan’s entry into secure, trusted global technology supply chains.

Anti-Communist protesters on Jeju Island, South Korea, were attacked by three Chinese Communist Party thugs. One of the attackers shouted, “Put your things away” and threatened to report it to the Chinese embassy.

Angelica, the fact that you went to a nice restaurant and had a curated experience changes absolutely nothing about the factual reporting described above. I see you find 'moral indignation' to be sad. I find your newfound enthusiasm for the CCP to be sad. You've decided, for reasons unknown to me, to transform yourself from a liberal into a shill for a murderous, totalitarian regime. Months ago you casually asked me "Isn't liberalism actually pretty bad? Maybe the Chinese system is better?" and I ignored you, because I wasn't in the mood to start a fight with an acquaintance. But I'll give you an answer now. Liberalism remains morally superior to authoritarianism. The Chinese system is not better. The CCP are monstrous, murderous thugs. You personally are an immoral person. You are making yourself a willing accessory to crimes against humanity, and you sicken me. You are a handmaiden to genocide, and deserve to be judged as such. You talk about how you met a nice young person as though that changes the millions kidnapped, tortured, or sent into forced labor programs. You lie and obfuscate and distract from the core facts, which remain true no matter how many lamb skewers you ate. China is attempting to kill an entire culture, and they are succeeding. I hope one day you realize the gravity of your mistake, realize that the CCP would happily murder you and your entire family if they found an ounce of profit in doing so, and that a system that allows for the kinds of totalitarian control the CCP has will always be abused to stamp out human freedom. Until that day I would like you to know how deeply abhorrent I find you and your new ideological skinsuit and would request you never again spread CCP propaganda in my replies.

Foxconn has fans. Cool, right?

Servers in space! This is what an orbital data center rack looks like. (Kinda like an earthbound rack). Foxconn makes them with Ramon Space. Foxconn sees LEO sats as a big part of its future.
