All at once .. you are so prolific LOL

1-Looks like team India wishes to engage w/ value proposition as does team Brazil, Russia, Germany, etc etc
Hard-fork bifurcation of the tech world is not priced in, in terms of exchange rates, interest rates, equity value, or growth rates
~ Looks like Boris might be on board despite heavy US anti China lobbying...

2- Re <<huawei>> ~ agree .. BS.. not fraud.. Mr. Trudeau is so far up Mr. Trump's ass .. he is lost and does not realise where he is.. Justin.. the beard won't help.. It's clingy !!! I am sure Mr. come and go heel spurs can afford his own colonoscopy !!

3- With the state’s help, Chinese technology is booming (Oh the Irony LOL) ~ Huawei Helps China Overtake Germany in Receiving U.S. Patents
By Susan Decker
and Christopher Yasiejko Huawei Technologies Co. broke into the top 10 recipients of U.S. patents last year, according to an analysis of filings with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the latest sign that Chinese companies are aggressive in pursuing the U.S. lead in global technology.

The telecom company’s 2,418 patents, along with 2,177 new patents issued to display-screen maker BOE Technology Group, help propel China into the rank of fourth-biggest recipient of U.S. patents, behind Japan and South Korea but ahead of Germany for the first time, according to the analysis by Fairview Research’s IFI Claims Patent Services.

“China’s growing rapidly but they’re still way behind the U.S. in terms of patents,” said Larry Cady, a senior analyst with IFI.

International Business Machines Corp. retained its title of top recipient of patents for the 27th year, with a record 9,262 patents, far ahead of No. 2 Samsung Electronics Co. and No. 3 Canon Inc.

Overall, the patent office issued 333,530 patents, an all-time high and a 15% jump after a decline in 2018. Cady said the increase likely reflects efforts to release a bottleneck over what can qualify for a patent, such as in the fields of artificial intelligence.

AI, cloud computing, blockchain and security were among the top areas for IBM, the Armonk, New York, company said. The IBM patents reflect the work of more than 8,500 inventors over 45 states and 54 countries, the company added.
Top 10 in Patenting

While IBM may be consistently the top recipient of patents, its holdings aren’t the largest, IFI found. That title belongs to Samsung Electronics Co. of South Korea, with Canon Inc. of Japan the second-largest corporate owner of patents. The difference, Cady said, is that IBM doesn’t keep all of its patents.

“We really look at new patents as an indication of innovation and we regularly review and prune our patent assets,” said Jason McGee, chief technology officer for IBM Cloud Platform. “We may get rid of ones that we don’t think are strategic or could be better served with someone else.”

IBM also announced that it’s joined the License on Transfer, or LOT, Network, which was co-founded by Red Hat Inc. IBM bought the software company for $34 billion last year.

Group members pledge that all network members will get a license to any patent that ends up with what’s known as a “patent assertion entity,” meaning a company that doesn’t make products and whose sole purpose is to extract royalties from those who do. The group helps protects automakers and retailers who are just entering the technology arena that’s often marked by lawsuits.

“If you want to be any successful company, you have to be a successful high-tech company,” said Ken Seddon, head of the LOT Network.

Overall, the list of top recipients is dominated by American and Asian technology companies. Behind IBM, Samsung and Canon are Microsoft Corp., Intel Corp., LG Electronics Inc. and Apple Inc. topping the list after Canon. Ford Motor Co., which broke into the top 10 last year, was just ahead of Amazon.com Inc. and then Huawei.

While the numbers are small, the fastest-growing patent classifications were in the gene-splicing technology known as CRISPR, hybrid plants, 3-D printing and cancer therapies, the analysis showed.

Many of the patents issued to Huawei relate to things like high-frequency transmission that are needed for the next generation of wireless technology known as 5G.

President Donald Trump’s administration in May moved to restrict U.S. companies from doing business with Huawei. The administration has said Huawei gear could be used for spying -- an allegation the company denied.

“The U.S. is kind of at a funny position with Huawei -- we’re threatening them with limiting access to technology and access to the markets,” Cady said. “At the same time, 5G is rolling out and they’re the dominant in 5G.”

Maybe China can buy Bombardier and put it out of our misery... Oh wait.. Aecon got nixed.. no doubt some frantic calls from White House to Parliament on that one :(

5- Speaking of the formulae for reactors and trains, skipping generation also can help a lot ...

well I was reticent originally on ecar.. but noting torque.. geeze when range is there and it IS getting there.. I can pull my travel trailer with one easily :)

6- Another point, that weaker IP protection might not be all bad, for it keeps everyone running harder ...

When I started as a software cowboy thre wqs no mainstream UNIX really.. then IBM produced the IBM PC-AT and UNIX spinof XENIX made it a multiuser platform.. we installed many... then UNIX became de rigeur... and then LINUX open source for the masses

we are all in this together.. Capitalism is fantastic.. it just needs to stop being exclusive and become collaborative.. The cream will still reap the rewards and the dotards naught...

7-Data China’s success at AI has relied on good data

and who will steal China's IP LOL .. US stole Brit IP to make America Great the first time :) (that is documented)

8- I know a bit about designing processors, and know it is going well ~ no doubt and this is causing fear.. Recall I said some country will need to learn to share,.. more downstream

9-bad assumption, because the most dynamic Taiwan residents have been and are moving to the mainland

Dynamic folks move to where eh action is.. could be China.. was always US for long time... dynamic is dynamic neh ?

re more downstream...

  • listening to NPR.. apparently US secretary of defense (his words) .. we are taking resources from elsewhere to focus on the Indo China area.. China is a THE threat... WOW!!!.. Someone is not learning to share :)
  • trade deal to be signed... no reduction in tariffs.. Mr. Trump in election year.. I put those Chinese in their place :) KNOWING US consumer strong now.. China not hurting.. US not hurting as economy OK.. but both China and US gov itself are de facto MILKING US folks (consumers) .. Phase two will be fun LOL since China not hurting really...


EDIT BTW ironically the word for ally in Chinese (Canto or Mando pretty much the same) is as you know.. funny in light of situation in my country LOL

I am brushing up on my Canto.. need a couple of hundred words only .. My big client is Canto from HK.. lots of fun practising with grandma who signs the cheques ;) Mando much easier... French is so friggin' easy by comparison LOL
