Welcome Good luck.

Stupid conceding the rest of the world to the Chinese/East Asia by running away isn't going to work, folding up like the British will not lead to prosperity. Ironically East Asia at one time folded up from competition in the not too distant past and they paid for it.

It's just so disappointing seeing the lack of will to compete when the going gets a little tough.

Name your higher profit range in the future over time very convenient.

Hopefully as a lark...

Someone in the White House needs a new distraction…

The legacy of colonialism frequently results in state failure. This pattern is evident across Central and South America, Africa, and the Middle East, where former colonies often struggle with systemic corruption, instability, and a lack of diversified industry—beyond resource extraction such as oil or minerals. A practical benchmark is whether one would choose to reside in these nations; the answer is typically negative. Regions south of the United States border, as well as the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and much of Southeast Asia, often appear to be sustained by precarious arrangements.

One might argue that the United States faces comparable challenges, particularly given recent proposals such as a $5,000 bribe can’t get any more third world than that. On a global scale, few nations offer favorable living conditions. Many countries endure prolonged conflict before achieving stability—a trajectory familiar from European history, which persisted until approximately World War II. There is little evidence that other regions will achieve cohesion without similar upheaval; such a process has not been observed elsewhere in human history without war, conflict and suffering with a little ethnic cleansing thrown into the mix. Historically, neighboring nations have provided minimal assistance in facilitating development for one another it’s been sink or swim, baby.

Germany’s racism/ethnic/religious hate killed their efforts for the bomb..

IBM, are they still in business? I thought they were comatose like Xerox, and Kodak. :)

I don’t think Apple is gonna go home because of the three-headed memory cartel, since they didn’t spend/burn billions (one trillion?) of dollars on AI, I think they will replace the cartel in-house, Intel is out and Qualcomm is on the way out, the three headed cartel can follow them.

Not gonna happen with China in the world, they will sell to every place else on the face of the planet this memory bump is temporary, also keeping it high means other companies will reconfigure what they do. if you want to continue to sell millions of devices at a reasonable price, you’re not going to sit on the sidelines and wait for the three-headed cartel.

You are going to get busy. and design and engineer around the cartel. Is there one company in the world that might do that? A company that has the engineering, design and the money with the capacity to execute over time?

Absolutely. far too many people are thinking about the next 2 to 4 years. How many times must they see the Chinese play the long game before they figure it out?

That’s not the point. You’re speeding up the progress of them becoming a competitor, a relentless competitor worldwide.

And you are now encouraging other large pocket tech companies inside and outside China to give thought to taking memory in-house if that means making and selling devices at a reasonable price in a timely manner.

Yeah, sure the rest of the world, outside the West, isn’t going to care.

Right now, but that’s gonna change rapidly over the next five years. Once again, they didn’t have a space station. now they do…

The problem is that you’re giving them an in into the market, and as time goes on, they will get better at making memory. That’s like saying you’re going to exclude the Chinese the space station. Look what happened. They now have their own space station?

The rest of the world won’t care. They will use whatever memory they can get, and if the Chinese are willing to supply it over the next 5 to 10 years, they end up on top…

They will end up in five years being the dominant memory maker in the world.

There will be new competitors. And there will be one or two companies that will take it (memory) in house and eliminate the memory companies out of the picture.

The three greedy memory companies are changing the equations in tech industry and it won’t be in their favor in the long term.

What are those construction times in China? Not just for nuclear, but also memory or semiconductor plants, probably less than what it is in the West.

The three-headed A memory cartel should enjoy their brief moment in the sun. Because for the five years it will be over, and when I say over, it’ll be over for good…

The Gulf War was a lost at every level.

Once more in comparison to who? In the tech world today the overall combination of Apple Silicon (hardware) and Mac OS (operating system) is the best combination you can buy today for most people (if you are spending your own money), and yes it's not perfect so what who is better? No one.

The current trajectory of Apple Silicon and Mac OS is not being equaled by Microsoft, Linux and Google.

The leading question for Apple going forward is what are they going to do with memory in-house or out?

In comparison to what? Windows, Linux.

If the future Steve Jobs is out there hopefully he's working on Windows, Linux, with a dash of Android...

Half a million soldiers and 57,000 dead in Vietnam did not win the war, when you have an adversary who is willing to fight and has a supply line. The same applied to Afghanistan and Korea.

Russia is currently learning that lesson again. After Afghanistan, in the Ukraine, for the US to have any chance of winning in Iran the US needs at least half a million people on the ground. With a trillion dollar bankroll?

The United States is reaching the end. When it comes to the amount of money needed, let alone the human cost, and to top it off, while we’re slogging around in the sand in Iran at every level, we will be getting weaker in relationship to China and the world.

The US has lost every war after World War II, it is also lost in Central and South America when it comes to long-range infrastructure, having a rail system stuck in the 1950s is not gonna go anywhere, not leading the charge in Central and South America and getting that Pan American highway or Pan American railroad built from one end to the other?, and where is that highway or railway leading all the way to Nome, Alaska? The billions, trillions of dollars wasted, and US Steel which is now, owned by the Japanese.

By the way, if it wasn’t for the Russia’s ill fated war, the Chinese would have high-speed rail built out all the way to Europe, and would be making plans to build out all the way to South Africa, the Chinese have even taken the lessons of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and are gonna have Thorium up and running sometime in the early 2030s.

When it comes to Mercantile and Infrastructure China is one step ahead.

They better learn. the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans do not sell anything close and dear and probably never will.

It will help. because it will kickstart their native software industry and may even encourage others throughout Europe to get back to work seriously in that area and look to compete, because actually there was no real reason for them to give up in the first place. All you need to do is look at the Brits with what they lost in Acorn and Arm technology.

It’s a blessing, Microsoft has always been mediocre throughout their entire history. It’s a shame that so many American and European vertical tech companies gave up in the late 1980s, and 1990s.

If you haven’t noticed, Microsoft has trouble competing when the playing field is even remotely level.

Move on you won’t miss Microsoft and you will find new opportunities.
