Hardware hacker: Walling off China from RISC-V ain't such a great idea, Mr President

This whole debacle is only going to push the USA further down the food chain (of which they can ill afford) - China and Russia have demonstrated, whether we like it or not, that they have the resources to catch up and possibly overtake the West in terms of technical innovation - all because we've forced their hand and there's no going back, I'm certainly a little apprehensive about what that future holds.

Last of the autocrats?

Maybe/hopefully we're witnessing the death throes of the autocracies, I can't see the next generations tolerating them, but these things never come to pass lightly and I worry about us cornering rabid dogs and the consequences we might suffer - nuclear or otherwise. The world is changing fast and this decade is going to be one to remember, that's for sure.
