Your impression of India’s, China’s, and Russia’s relationships with each other is years behind.

I don’t know, but this Wikipedia table has population and GDP-PPP columns, so it’s easy to do the math. Note though, that Vietnam is in the subsequent table, because the page hasn’t been updated it yet.

You do know what average means in this context, right? You divide the sum of the empires’ years by the number of empires.

FYI, this was considered fairly recently, and the end-result was:

Will re-open if anyone wants to work on this, but its way out of scope for us.

I know it was just an example to make a point, but my first assumption was that there would be a web server or something in front of the application, and so I’d rate limit the API path at that level, before the calls even reached the application.

They speak another language, have their own cultural heritage.

The Wikipedia page for Taiwan alone would prove this to be utterly false^[1]. How can you speak with such authority when you know you’re talking out your ass?

The rest of you what you wrote isn’t much better. It’s just the standard anti-China & anti-communist Western propaganda talking points.

What do you think this is, Reddit?

You made a miner error.

🤷 I have absolutely no doubt that Iran has had mines prepared for blockading the strait for decades, and I don’t think bluffing is Iran’s usual M.O., so I think this is likely regardless of what anonymous US sources say.

The thing is, it’s been known for at least 1½ years that the CIA “Cooked The Intelligence” To Hide That Russia Favored Clinton, Not Trump In 2016.

Perhaps. Ultimately they’re heads of the same USAGM hydra.

I enjoyed A Podcast Of Unnecessary Detail. They stopped producing new episodes, though.

Broken link. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/taiwan-simulate-chinese-invasion-major-drill-2025-07-01/

VOA is yet another USAGM outlet.

I knew where this was going: 1 April 2013

Three red lines was introduced in Aug. 2020. The collapse started in Sept. 2021. It was a centrally planned, managed collapse, with the intent of making the capitalists take the hit instead of the working class. It was very unlike the 2008 one in the US, where no orthodox economist saw it coming, and the government was caught with its pants down, and it ratfucked working class homeowners to save the private banks, who had written bad mortgages that they knew couldn’t be paid.

Don’t forget to your “housing provider.”

Technology giants Alphabet (GOOGL.O), opens new tab, Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab, Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab, and IBM (IBM.N), opens new tab were named as “central to Israel’s surveillance apparatus and the ongoing Gaza destruction.”

First as tragedy, then as… also tragedy. IBM and the Holocaust

IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance between Nazi Germany and America’s Most Powerful Corporation is a book by investigative journalist and historian Edwin Black which documents the strategic technology services rendered by US-based multinational corporation International Business Machines (IBM) and its German and other European subsidiaries for the government of Adolf Hitler from the beginning of the Third Reich through to the last day of the regime, at the end of World War II when the US and Germany were at war with each other.

Published in 2001, with numerous subsequent expanded editions, Black outlined the key role of IBM’s technology in the Holocaust genocide committed by the German Nazi regime, by facilitating the regime’s generation and tabulation of punched cards for national census data, military logistics, ghetto statistics, train traffic management, and concentration camp capacity.

modeled after “anti-disinformation” rules that were crafted by the NATOid security racket

Indeed. Previously:

The new post-Trump/“post-truth” media literacy curricula won’t teach [real media literacy] to you either, because it was paid for and crafted by the US military-industrial complex: New Media Literacy Standards Aim to Combat ‘Truth Decay’.

This week, the RAND Corporation released a new set of media literacy standards designed to support schools in this task.

The standards are part of RAND’s ongoing project on “truth decay”: a phenomenon that RAND researchers describe as “the diminishing role that facts, data, and analysis play in our political and civic discourse.”
