> Imagine it's people on the right wing saying that about a Democrat, regarding guns or abortion, etc.

I don’t have to imagine that because I was alive during the Obama administration.

Look up United States v Bagdasarian to see how close you can get to an explicit threat without violating the law.

All flagged to death of course.

> “He was usually watching videos about Palestine and was so angry at America,” one acquaintance told iStories. “He started thinking about going to Russia. He wanted to war with the USA. But I think he was very influenced by the conspiracy theory videos.”

He was brainwashed by online propaganda.

Except neither the essay nor title make explicit death threats against the president.

Not worth devoting any brain cycles to this thing if it’s that far out still given how fast the situation in the US is changing.

He's going to get people killed eventually.

He's German if you're wondering. The article doesn't mention it.

Still stuns me that this was all self inflicted. Imagine how better off the US would be if Trump had done nothing but golf the entire month.

> Learn from mistakes and move on

We’ll see if he’s even capable of that.

It's because the election ended and the astroturfing fulfilled it's purpose.

Yes, because he's one of a handful of examples that get trotted out every time this topic comes up. The scale of China's theft is simply incomparable.

I think he genuinely thought China would immediately cave and he could score an easy deal off of them.

I'm pretty sure it's already lost. If a nearly perfect sequence of events happened, yes, we could pivot our auto industry to EVs and gain on China, but we're sprinting in the opposite direction for the foreseeable future.

I wish people would stop posting links to SCMP, it’s a blatant propaganda rag. This article spends five sentences talking about the actual problem solved, and the rest is about the Chinese background of the authors, the Chinese social media reaction, and another unrelated Chinese mathematician who solved something. It doesn’t even link to the arxiv paper!

Here’s a sciam article that’s superior: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/lofty-math-proble...

Also a fun fact: The Dow has dropped 1000 points in a day 11 times in it's history. 4 have occurred in the past month.

They want the US to become a net exporter of goods, but they're too stupid to make that transition happen or to realize that that would make the US a much poorer country, so they're just going to spin their wheels while stocks, bonds, and the dollar crash to unrecoverable levels.

> The story shows how export controls can backfire. By pushing Nvidia out, Washington may have accidentally helped China build its own AI chip industry faster than anyone expected.

The US keeps doing this and failing to learn from it.

Even if Powell isn't fired, his term is up in a year anyway and Trump appoints his successor. It's just delaying the inevitable.

Turns out Reddit circa 2017 was completely right about Trump.

Assuming we have fair elections in the future, MAGA is screwed. Every demographic they made gains with last election is being targeted by this administration.

Still amazes me that this virus is virtually guaranteed to maim you in some way and yet no one seems to care about preventing infection with it anymore.

This is just the cost of doing business as a social media company now. Either you bow to the whims of local government or you get replaced by someone who does. Pick your battles wisely.

They were with Abrego Garcia case at least.

You can just assume at this point that China will pull ahead of the US in all science and technology domains. They both have internal problems that will drag them down but the US’s problems far outweigh China’s.

This is what happens when you elect a reality tv star as President.

I expect most of these pledges to build factories in the US will turn out like the Foxconn deal from Trumps first term.
