U.S. Government to Take Cut of Nvidia and AMD A.I. Chip Sales to China
This is insane. This is an actual vig. This is completely off the charts, you've got to be kidding JFC what are we even doing anymore? And for anyone who says this is a "deal" it's the same deal you make with the guy who is holding your children hostage www.nytimes.com/2025/08/10/t...

U.S. Government to Take Cut of Nvidia and AMD A.I. Chip Sales to China
"This is an own goal...incentivize the Chinese to...pressure the administration for more concessions,β said Liza Tobin, previous China director at the NSC during Trump & Biden βThis is the Trump playbook applied in exactly the wrong domain. Youβre selling our national security for corporate profitsβ

Extraordinary. The deal does NOT give a "golden share" to the US govt but gives direct authorities to Donald Trump, personally, while he's President. If Trump died tomorrow, it appears US Steel would be free of the obligations and no authorities pass on to Vance. Personalism, not law.

How NASA Engineered Its Own Decline
The agency once projected Americaβs loftiest ideals. Then it ceded its ambitions to Elon Musk.
"With the flick of a switch, he [Musk] now has the power to shut down constellations of satellites, to isolate a nation, to hobble the operations of an entire army."
