I like the western world's "The Last Guys hosed Up" model of passing blame better.

Stone wall of face there.

The only way to know if a Comac aircraft is actually safe is to wait and see how many are mothballed in less than a decade and how many people it killed?

Looks like the States have found some common ground with the Chinese.

Given the sale price of 29% value, that's effectively a 71% write off on nine figures of debt, yes?

The chip-cash thing is really cool. Anyone else ever played Shadowrun? The futurecurrency in that setting is a PKI-based cryptocurrency stored on little flash drives. Payments between criminals and their contractors was thus untraceable Silk Road style while verifiable by checking the currency's publicly-auditable certificate chain. I wonder when PKI is going to become necessary for offline digital cash chips in the real world - certainly there's a desire for hacked cards?

Edit- actually, verification would require an internet connection :/

We will see some noise if /pol/ or Reddit ever actually learn that the TPP isn't a Chinese NAFTA, but rather an exclusionary deal with other eastern nations.

That would be presuming any information can make it past source selection at this point.

The Kingfish posted:

Chinese markets went buttfuck when they found out Trump won. They knew he was the only candidate who would actually slash the TPP.

Can you name the three most populous TPP signatories without a google search?

Just curious
