Chinese infrastructure developing is truly impressive. I guess that's one benefit of being in an imperial dictatorship.
It feels like they are using this presidency to get as far ahead as they can.
Not just this one. But I think you are overestimating such improvements over strategic ones that the US is still doing more. Say, Starlink really turning into some sort of planetary cell network.
They are ostensibly a one party state, not a dictatorship. While Xi is the paramount leader, he claims he isn't a dictator and I definitely believe him. Also it seems like he doesn't have absolute control, but what do I know.
They are ostensibly a one party state, not a dictatorship.
This sentence feels so Soviet.
Yeah, hate that the world views him as not a dictator, at least formally, but I don't make the rules.
I think few people missed the sarcasm
BRB moving to China
KC starts the beta for 50gig next month.
High speed internet behind the Great Firewall sounds wonderful. It would be like rapid public transit behind the iron curtain. You can go quickly and conveniently to any dim, depressing place we let you go.
What would anyone need 50Gb for?
Like seriously, what would that get you what you can't do now?
My local Network adapter isn't half that fast
That's the thing, it's hard to imagine what we'll use it for until it's available.
Well, at least they're doing it quietly.
That's cool, but all the important stuff doesn't take much.
Because everyone there uses the Internet?
Yeah not one soul uses the internet over there, but they're doing it anyway just to shit on Verizon
I probably shouldn't have posted it that way. I've been to Bejing, but I picture a lot of rural rice farmers just NOT part of the Internet and of course with censorship rampant, I just figure, why so fast? Sounds like flexing. But maybe I'm wrong.
Even rice farmers watch Netflix.
