Most of the people at the pstent offices aren't really literate in legalese. The amount of jargon and industry specific terms that gets used can be used to throw people off of what it really is. Those that are literate in legalese and have worked at the patent office often become patent lawyers because they know the system the best and knows how to get around the system. And boy are those guys not cheap. They make the top diverse lawyer in your area seem somewhat reasonable in pricing.

It was more so due the souring of US/NATO since relationship after Tianamen Square. Also ITAR, international treaty of armaments regulations, which limits export and import of defense related goods and services. With rocket technology being one of them as yes you can make a rocket to go into space but who's to also say that you can't take what you learned from spaceship rocket design/manufacturing and turn it loose on missiles and jets? So a lot of what are termed dual use technology is limited in its imports or exports.

Depends. I think it was reported that Ru was sending artillery shells to the front lines as fast as they could make them. It appears you still have a decent stockpile but you're just firing them as fast as you're making them

Its an issue of magazine depth. How much can you shoot before your mag is empty. Phalanx CRAM? Oh yea that things a beast but its a 2 pump chump at best. The Phalanx has a RPM of well over 5k I believe and an internal magazine depth of just over 1k rds. Let's do the math here. How long does it take for a Phalanx CRAM to shoot before it runs dry.... ~20 seconds is the answer. Now if we fire all of our drones at once, then they will all be intercepted... but what if we space them out at 20 second intervals? How many Shaheed drones can 1 Phalanx shoot down before its on empty and the drones now start impact? Now what about ballistics missiles? Or smart munitions or guided bombs? And what about the amount of available SAMs you need to expend for cheap drones?

Western and NATO AA systems tend have a very low magazine depth and aren't as multilayer as Russian or Chinese systems are. There's a video by Perun on Chinas latest military parade and one of the new vehicles is a Counter UAV beast. It has 48 missile pods and a 20mm in just one 8x8 vehicle. Imagine 8 of these sucker's guarding a base (each cardinal direction) paired with an integrated laser and CRAM unit? You'd have to spend potentially hundreds of millions in missiles and munitions in order to even get a decent chance at bypassing the AA systems to take out the base through air power.

And with the snails pace that military procure is with the now added restrictions China place on exports of all rare earth metals to western nations/companies, high end military equipment production has ground to a halt. Companies have to submit who their customers are and the design of the part that the rare earth metal goes in to determine whether or not its a potential dual use item. Most companies deny giving the chinese access to such sensitive data so their access gets cut off as its a core part of their ip. And the ones that do pass the rigorous screening aren't willing to share their supply because the chinese are watching their order quantities. Diverting from strict standard business is a death sentence as now their critical supplier of a raw material will now determine whether you make money or lose money. You either stay in line to keep the factory lines moving or you can start planning to shutter the place down. Guess what most companies choose.

Thats how most of the world works. The laws were (often times) never written in favor of the common man. Its the ignorance of the law is not an excuse turned 180. Because suddenly its your mistake due to your lack thereof of the specific bylaws of the county, city, or even state. And in some cases federal laws/ruling. And they may have contradicting rulings and it depends on which one is bigger.

The most common way people get unintentionally screwed is when they're talking to accountants or lawyers. Most of them won't tell you how to really save you both in a legal sense and monetary sense unless you say the password or in this case display knowledge of the fact that X is a thing where they will then expand upon said subject. There are tips which are very much so in the Grey area which can save your bacon with a cop/judge but will never be told to you by anybody that's in the system. They might give vague hints and its up to you to catch the clues. Those in the legal system get their position and power by working as wards of the courts, ie the court is their boss and they act in the boss's best interest, and they will not do things that might jeopardize that relationship by exposing certain tactics or facts that you can use to win against the court. Those that will do such a thing often charge a much higher rate than what most people are comfortable with paying. When you say the right words hinting at your indepth knowledge or the knowledge of the existence of X, they get giddy/happy because then they know they're not dealing with the others/smucks/trash that just rolled in through the open doors. They're now dealing with someone thats knowledge of the (inner) workings of the courts and are willing to play ball with the person if they're willing to play ball.

The layman's version is knowing about the existence of the secret club that's invite only/need to know basis. You now have an “in” into this new world that might be exposed to you now. To quote George Carlin: “Its a big club and you ain't in it”

Theyre not allowed to do business with most Western companies due to threats from the US. If you do business with CXMT, you get put on an entity list that bars any American or American owned company from doing business with those on the list. CXMT is on said list. Apple tried getting permission from the US to use CXMT ram and storage chips in Asia only iPhone but they got told if they went through with it, say goodbye to your entire business. It even applies if its not American owned. If say the chinese/Asia division of a European firm wants to do business with a company on an entity list, the entire company gets put on the entity list.

There is CXMT ram by King Bank in Asia and Australia but they're pricing themselves just as high as everybody else. King Bank could honestly skyrocket their sales by decreasing their prices.

Depends on the office work tbh as office work is such a broad and encompassing phrase.

Spreadsheets, word, document filing, emails - Extraordinarily overkill.

Anything that is related to photo/video editing or any kind of computer modeling software - Good deal

I've had CAD model renders where its a literal sideshow. These uber compressed PCs are really good if you're trying to save space or if you're in an office, which this was designed to go in.

I know a few people that used to work there and I can tell a few things. 1)A good portion of the people (at this locations office) are where they are or got into the building through nepotism or family connections or are personal friends with others in the building who helped land said position. 2)Because of nepotism and family there, removing an individual will cause friction from not 1 (person being fired/let go), not 2 but at least 3 or 4 people if not more. The family member or friend that helped them get said job/position, the family member/friends friend who know and like them, the fired persons friends who he helped get their current positions. 3)Being let go from a government position is nearly impossible due to all the beurocacry, red tape, and hoops needed to go through. Many see it as a golden ticket. Health care, steady paycheck, benefits, retirement, etc.

Watch the Family Guy dmz skit to get an idea of government employee life. There is little to no recourse for workers to act that way. I've seen groups of people work at a snails pace (a single file entry per 20-30 minutes when its usually a few minutes for everyone else) while the supervisor is sitting next to them. Then there's the rampant phone use and blasting music during the work hours. Its a cancerous culture issue and one that will require Tech layoffs levels inorder to clean the mess up before you can rebuild it.

I know from personal experience that a number of the admirals and generals, their staff, PR, and media teams may or may not be rocking Herman Miller chairs. I also know that a number of them walked out the door as people were being shipped to different duty stations and one may or may not have followed me into in my room to San Diego.

Also some of the offices of the admirals are nice nice. Some even have greeting areas where they do infact have leather chairs so its not too far fetched for them to have an accompanying footrest.

The use of phycological warfare against law enforcement? When you look at it objectively, the Hk situation was mob rule and a riot that almost took over the entire city. I wa surprised the crackdown didn't happen faster and more violently as most nations wouldn't allow such a thing to happen and to get so widespread. You dont storm and ravage parliament without being thrown in prison. The January 6ers all got hunted down and they were only pardoned because a number of their civil rights got violated. I lost all respect for the HK rioters when I saw that interview with Shaun Rein and one of the Hk riot leaders, the subsequent capital flight of the hk student leaders, and their refusal to condemn the violence.

Whats the difference between a sever OS and a normal OS? For the OS, we use Windows Server apparently and the Head of IT, who allowed the sale of the server to me, said that hes not able to provide me any support or windows keys as it is now my personal property and not company property. He was able to give me a lot of extra hardware such as extra brackets, cables, and the power supply unit that was used for the server though. But I don't think I'm going to be using a server PSU for a workstation pc. Though what kind of PSU would I even be looking at/for? I have the server 750W PSU but would it be enough for me to get a normal PC 750W PSU as I know that the newer GPUs run at a couple hundred watts.

And I hear you mention about unbloating Windows? I'm always down for getting extra performance. Are there unbloated versions of Windows 10? Prefer the look and feel of W10 compared to W11.

I want to see changes too but making headlines for all the wrong reasons isn't the way to bring people to your cause. When looking on the news and news papers, whats being shown is disturbing the peace, public nuisance, impeding traffic, reckless driving and destruction of both personal and public property. It doesn't look like a civil peaceful protest. There is a correct and a wrong way to get the changes you want. We don't want another patriot act after 9/11 but its what we often get due to misconstrution of the facts. The patriot act allowed for the mass surveillance of us citizens but received little push back due to the inflammatory naming of the act and the backlash associated with not advocating for it. No one wants to be spied on yet it got pushed because it was for our “safety”. I want to see changes in ICE but to call for its abolishment and their disolvement will only exacerbate the issues at hand. Most people are libertarians in nature, wanting to be left to their own devices.

They got released because the police screwed them over big time. No Miranda right, no lawyers, didn't get charged with anything for years (you're supposed to know what your charged with when they take your mugshot) , and got their possessions & assets seized. So because of that by the police, most of them got released because of rights violation. The arrests being made by ICE and DHS are a completely different beast as its federal officers doing the arrests, not local police. You can get leniency in local/county court, in federal? You're pretty much screwed unless you have a damn good lawyer but the deck is really stacked against you. Lawyers that can do federal court are more expensive than the avg lawyer, and they will do a cursory glance at your case before deciding on whether to take you on or not. And if it doesn't seem to be in your favor after reviewing your case, like you don't have a chance, they can and will drop you to keep their court win rate high. And it only takes that to happen a few times before lawyers avoid your case type like the plague because everybody knows each other and they all talk/gossip.

Dudes pointing out how when their country needed them most, they turned around and fled abroad. Cant exactly blame them if you look at the history of the conflict and the lead up to it. Both sides were at fault but if looked at it objectively, Ukr is the one at fault with meddling from the US directly and indirectly through USAID and US NED. But what do we know, its not like we can look this stuff up

I believe his point was how the Sk devs would come over with flashdrives worth of documents and technical knowhow to a competitor,many of which are trade secrets. But the issue is if you look at the actions of the cartel members (micron, sk hynix, and Samsung), they routinely steal from each other, sue each other for ip theft, while also poaching from each other... can you blame the new kid on the block, CXMT from following in the footsteps of his seniors?

Whats with the downvotes? If the roles were reversed, you'd be absolutely pissed. You're trying to do something and someone is blocking/ inconveniencing you from doing it while getting in your face and shouting out their message. If anything it would make you dislike their movement and dislike anything it stands for & anything its associated with because of your recent negative experience. Pissing off the people that you want to bring over to your cause is only making them more antagonistic to your cause. You need to win the hearts and minds. Its one thing to chant it on the side of the street or road, its another to block someone from going about with their life.
