A Chinese court temporarily banned Micron Technology Inc. chip sales, cutting the U.S. company off from the world’s largest semiconductor market, Taiwanese rival United Microelectronics Corp. said.
In a patent ruling in favor of UMC, the Fuzhou Intermediate People’s Court of the People’s Republic of China issued a preliminary injunction stopping Micron from selling 26 products, including dynamic random access memory and Nand flash memory-related products, UMC said in a statement Tuesday.

The Chinese are going to cherrypick losers on the US side. It will just happen that companies and industries in red states will be hit the hardest in this stupid trade war.
Риторический вопрос
Jul. 3rd, 2018 09:37 pmМожно ли обсуждать выбросы углекислоты и экономику энергопотребления с людьми, которые дают ссылки на вот такой источник?
Отдельное спасибо нашему Великому Лидеру Америки (т.н. президенту Covfefe) за то, что выбросы углекислоты снизились на 12 процентов с 2005-го по 2017-й год.
Mecia also notes a June estimate by BP claiming U.S. carbon dioxide emissions in 2017 fell by 42 million tons compared with 2017, the largest plunge of any country.

What is it like to be a bat on LSD?
Jul. 3rd, 2018 09:51 pmIn the econtalk conversation about LSD, author Michael Pollan mentioned that LSD is not addictive. He said that a rat/mice hooked up to the drug stops pressing the dispensing lever after just one dose. By contrast, rats on cocaine, sugar, acid, etc. keep pressing until they starve to death.
While I was listening, I remembered a famous paper by Thomas Nagel "What is it like to be a bat?" Accessing consciousness of a flying animal that feels its way through space using ultrasound reflections is hard enough. Imagining what it feels on an LSD trip would would be outright impossible.
