Brandon melting down and flailing over $80 oil is a bit concerning tho
Dunno about that, tbh... they can still manipulate their currency to make themselves compe ive. On the chip segment specifically, they have a few things that are difficult to match, like the ability to ramp up and down lines in a whim, a cadre of highly experienced people able to copycat tech quickly, and everything at a cost that scales well.
"Be more like the Communists" is an interesting call to action.
TSMC has two fabs in China...
Wow I would have thought they'd want nothing to do with a Taiwanese company.
It's not a call to action it is stating the obvious. The US is on the decline and China is on the rise. You are an idiot if you don't see it. They just launched a hypersonic ICBM that went all the way around the world which then launched another hypersonic glide missile...the US isn't even close to their technology and that just one small example. All those STEM kids are growing up and kicking our ass.
Well I didn't say China was going back to eating mud pies. They've crammed a lot of industrialization into a few decades. They can't do that again, hence peak China is behind us. Maybe CC is right and the CCP will thrive economically rejecting liberalism and cracking down on their own population. History isn't on their side.
So we shouldn't be more like them?
Well, they have managed to survive since 1250BC without liberalism...
Our schools should.
! All they have to do is nuke us and the world is theirs.
Damn these kids today amirite?
massive domestic spending programs
I'm pleased he's sticking with Murica 1st. Hopefully it continues.
FDR was the ultimate America First president tbh
Plus, there are structural challenges in a capitalist system that are undeniable...most of the best and brightest want to be like Thomas J Henry, not Albert Einstein because that's where the big bucks are.
We have the best schools in the world.
The problem is that some of our schools are also warehousing kids doing nothing with them.
There is a huge divide in education in this country. We turn out THE BEST, and the worst.
This is not surprising. It very much correlates with the distribution of wealth in this country.
So take a more fundamental step back down and figure out how to solve this.
Mutually Assured Destruction works as a deterrent to the Chinese as well as the Russians when it comes to nukes. There are enough nukes now to kill the world about 100 times over.
double post
LOL Trump accusing anyone of iden y politics. The right runs almost exclusively on the culture war since tax cuts for billionaires isn't that popular a public policy on its own. And the party of 'Biden stole the election' calling anyone snowflakes is hilarious. Also LOL acting like Chinese schools all of a sudden just got harder and American schools turned soft overnight. It has been like that since at least the 1990s according to every student from China I have ever known. But let's blame something that has been in place 30 years on woke culture for muh feels.
lol cc
Well your initial premise is faulty since I'm not a Trum and I don't think Biden stole the election. And yes, chinese schools have been tougher for years and that is why they are kicking our ass in tech these days.
I'm calling the writer of that whiny op a Trump .
That was the point of my sarcasm. China's hypersonic missile is a nothingburger.
Well it is going to spur huge defense spending which will lead to new technologies so I guess that it is something.
Also that let's beat our kids down into the ground culture is destroying Japan right now. They get worked to death six days a week in school so are conditioned to think getting worked to death in their adult years is normal, which has been killing birth rates and ensures crippling recession as the population keeps getting older and older.
Nobody cares about your re ed homeschooled kids.
I always think of this review of the book from the algebra classes I took in college when I read rm... Wild Cobra talk about math.
Though to be fair, Artin's Algebra (first edition) is a better book IMO.Review of Abstract Algebra by Dummit & Foote
Like most Adequacy readers, I am very good at higher mathematics. In high school, I placed near the top of my Algebra II class, and aced the Math portion of the SAT with a 590. As my children are currently working their way through middle school, I felt obligated to renew my skills in order to help them with their homework. But after slogging through Dummit and Foote's turgid tome, I can only say that it is the worst mathematics text I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. The first flaw a reader will note is the incredible rate at which the material is presented. Section 0.1 breezes through difficult concepts like functions, sets, and complex numbers. By Chapter 1, my head was spinning after reading statements like, "For n in Z+, Z/nZ is an abelian group under the operation + of addition of residue classes as described in Chapter 0," and, "A subset S of elements of a group G with the property that every element of G can be written as a (finite) product of elements of S and their inverses is called a set of generators of G."
As we see from these excerpts from the text, Dummit and Foote are disciples of "new math," a doctrine discredited in the 70's. Too often, strange symbols and jargon take the place of clear English prose. Extraneous concepts like "sets"--much less "finite nilpotent groups" or "invariant factor decompositions" or "symmetric multilinear maps"--are merely obstacles to a student's understanding of algebra. Sadly, the authors, holed up in their ivory towers, have not yet learned these vital educational lessons.
Yet for all the apparent erudition of the authors, the text is full of obvious errors. For example, on page 44, the authors assert that z*a = z + a, an obvious error. On page 97, we find the ludicrous assertion that ap = a, clearly flase unless p = 1. And on page 329, the text asserts that r(x + N) = rx + N, an obvious typo.
That the authors could publish such a sloppy text and remain employed at the University of Vermont speaks volumes about the evils of tenure.
I can only recommend this text to those already secure in their knowledge of Algebra who might derive amusement from the frequent missteps of the authors. And even then, with a $100 price tag, it can hardly be considered worth the expense.
I fear for the education of the next generation when prominent publishers push "new math" on hapless educators. Using this text to teach learn Algebra from this text will alienate students from math and science, driving America further behind the rest of the world in education. I can only hope that our school boards will reject this attempt to corrupt high school curricula and get back to teaching the basics.

TSMC has become too big to fail, and is majority owned by foreign investors. Plus China is a big-ass market.
