Foreign AffairsRe: China Retaliates With Tariffs On US Goods After Trump’s Move by hotwax: 1:46pm On Feb 04, 2025
Xisnin:
No.
China is a copycat for now.
Just name any sector and you will find China simply copied the published success of others.
Is it semiconductor, R&grin, Aerospace, Software, Pharmaceuticals and AI that China leads in?
Obviously none.
Sure, it produces cheaper alternatives later after seeing working examples from elsewhere.
But that is not innovation.

Even Russia can boast of being the innovators in several fields but not China.

I understand where you are coming from, many people confuse manufacturing at scale(producing so much quantity)
with the actual innovation.

It is funny that you mention TikTok as your source.
they stole OpenAI chatgpt LLM data. And they were boasting about developing deepseek with 5million dollar...they stole the work of openAI. the work they used billions to develop.

Tariff will help US manufacturing rise again...

China started it by placing 10% tariff on USA electronics and cars. China did to make Chinese goods cheap.

But USA did it to them, they are throwing tantrums...I have been saying it, China is the worst world power that should be allowed to take over.

El Rufai is their enemy now, someone who defended their president, even when they went for debate outside the country, the journalist where asking questions, it’s only El Rufai that was answering the questions for the president and then the Yoruba Muslims (Slaves) where applauding him. Today the fallout, they now see him as demon.

This life ehhh, don’t worry guys, APC are all ZoneB
Jehovah is dealing with el-rufai for mocking Jesus. Its simple.

El-rufai is reaping from his work.

He put us in this mess. He brought and enforce the muslim muslim ticket
Foreign AffairsRe: Trade War: Canada, Mexico & China Vow Retaliatory Moves Over Trump's Tariffs by hotwax: 3:12pm On Feb 02, 2025
Originalsly:
The auto industry will be affected for sure ... some parts for the auto industry are made in Canada and Mexico. imports from China is on another level ...even Tesla imports battery packs for the cars. The consumers will feel the squeeze. Trump is playing with fire
china make the cheaper ones....America has a better auto industry..but it nearly went down the drain thanks to chinese flooding market and US dem politicians not protecting local manufacturers.

American goods are heavily taxed to enter china...so US goods can't compete in china...

this is purely america first strategy.

China has built several "OS"s, though not widely used globally, but with the way Trump treating global community with disdain, I fear people won't migrate to Chinese technology and currency.

I Biliv God wants to use Trump to reduce America dominance in global scene.


People would start thinking outside USA, before you know, USA would see, nations are no longer depending on them for economic survival. When it gets to that level, they won't be able to control world again, since economy sanctions by then won't have effect on adversaries.
china boy...USA just received 1trillion dollar worth investments...this is one record broken by trump.

America is not slowing down...lolz

Give a fool a hammer and everything looks like a nail. The World Street Journal, a paper that actually supported Trump in his second run for the presidency has come out to call Trump's tariffs the dumbest economic decision in over 50 years.

Trump's professor at Wharton, called Donald Trump the dumbest student he ever had. It is obvious.

It must be remembered that the USMCA trade deal Trump just abandoned was the very deal he negotiated during his first term! He got Canada and Mexico onboard that agreement. Now he is tearing up the same agreement he authored.

If Trump is not careful, he may trigger a recession in the global economy. Watch what happens as stock markets open tomorrow to see just how scared the markets are about this . Trump thinks that foreign countries pay the tariffs. But anyone with basic knowledge of economics knows that the cost of the tariffs is borne by the final consumer in this case, American citizens. Trump's tariffs are a tax on the American consumer.

This will stifle demand, dislodge supply chains and force multiple companies to close. Trump's first tariffs against China saw China jettison US sourced Soybeans for other markets in Brazil and Argentina. Trump had to bail out US soyabean farmers with 25 billions US dollars but yet some farms closed down and some farmers committed suicide.

There is no upside to these tariffs. It will only lead the US into economic dire straits. Trump is and idiot.
so how did trumps first term led to better economy?

tame your emotion...i know you are angry because of your god china...but tariff lead to more local manufacturing...america is a better manufacturing power than china...china just know how to flood the market with cheap stuffs...now tariffs will make chinese goods to have the same price with locally made ones.

You don't need to be a professor of economics to know this simple maths..

overhyped. Nothing serious about it. Takes forever to respond. Always blabbering when you ask it simple questions. 😒
My observation too..except you clone the opensource via llamma, you still need to pay for processing infrastructure, you need server capability too, that's what chatgpt charge you for. Where is that father Christmas who will give you processor for free? Even billfate can't afford that
PhonesRe: OpenAI's ‘o3-mini’ Will Be Free For All Users by hotwax: 6:29am On Jan 31, 2025
But wait a minute, deepseek is not free.

You have to pay for it.

It offers similar payment model with chatgpt.

The free version is the one you install on your localhost and it requires processing capabilities.

Chatgpt actually charge for processing capability..where is deepseek getting their server infrastructure from?

People still don't get it, but IT professionals should understand this.

Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Revives Push To Denaturalize US Citizens by hotwax: 5:29am On Jan 29, 2025
Why are you Nigerians crying more than Americans?

This was his campaign promise...in fact the center of his campaign. And he won on landslide.

So why are you behaving as if his action is against his voter base? He is carrying out the mandate he promised his voter base.

Did you Nigerians vote for him? Is it your country?

You all cry and mumbo here as if America is your birth right?

Let his voter base who won him the election complain.

Your complains here hold no water. You people destroyed your country then want to claim America.

Oh the world hate him. Oh he will destroy America.

Did the world vote for him? His voter base voted him.

He will destroy America. How is fighting for America destroying America. France is now an Islamic enclave. They will soon start fighting jihad there in few years. Thanks to uncontrolled immigrantions

RomanceBut Seriously, I Did Not Do Anything To My Erectile Dysfunction by hotwax(op): 12:58pm On Jan 27, 2025
I just remembered today how I used to have erectile dysfunction. This problem tormented me for a whole year, especially in 2018.

It was so embarrassing that it destroyed my self-esteem. I was literally running away from ladies. Anytime I approached one, I would take forever to ask her to come over. In some cases, it was the lady insisting we meet. And when I finally agreed and she came over, I’d start coming up with all sorts of excuses to avoid anything happening.

There was this particular lady; we romanced, and when it was time to enter, I inserted my oko, trust—three strokes—and before you know it, ice cream was already popping out. The embarrassment was something else. I started considering suicide. Afterward, I gave her excuses like, “Oh, I had malaria. I’m on malaria drugs. I’m so sorry about that, blah blah blah.” I could tell she didn’t buy it; she hissed when she entered the bathroom to clean up.

Now, let me clarify: I wasn’t masturbating. I tried everything people recommended. I took agbo, sepees, agunmu. I chopped fruits morning, day, and night. No sugary food.

Omo, I was still a “few seconds man.” Nothing worked. Out of desperation, I ordered sex enhancement drugs. While they improved my time to about two minutes, my heart would start pounding like a car engine in high gear. The experience was scary and awful. At some point, a frustrated girlfriend told me to go and buy Hausa formulas. All na wash.

Then, a few months later, I met a lady I was really comfortable with. The first time we did it, I lasted 20 minutes, and I didn’t even feel like coming. My mind wasn’t even there. She spent the weekend with me, and for those three days, we did it constantly, and my JT was always standing at attention.

It wasn’t until she left that I sat down and said, “Wait a minute, I did all that?” That’s when it clicked.

I realized fear was the problem. Before this, every time I was about to enter, I’d start praying in my head, “Please, God, don’t let this thing happen again.” And, of course, it would happen. On that fateful day, I just didn’t remember to fear, and I went on and on for hours.

Another thing I noticed: I had this friend who drank Fanta like his life depended on it. Addiction. Yet, this guy would burst obenopen without stress, while I was here living on sugar-free diets and struggling.

Ever since I met that lady, I’ve been lasting an average of 45 minutes.

So, my brothers, let me tell you: ED will go when it’s ready to go. Fear makes it worse. No formula, no shortcut. Just relax and trust your epan.

Doctors in the house, you may have a contradicting opinion, but this is my personal experience. And its a honest one. I have no reason to lie.
Foreign AffairsRe: Mexico Blocks U.S Military Plane From Landing With Deportees (Photos) by hotwax: 7:49am On Jan 26, 2025
Svoboda:
I like the fact that Mexico is standing toe to toe with the US and not cowering like a frightened puppy. Trump should not be allowed to take unilateral and irascible decisions and treat Mexico like a sub par. This will surely reset his stance, and that there is mass migration in the Americas to the US is precipitated by long years of instability by the same us in the region.
Na oyibo you dey speak..US planes delivered those illegals to Mexico successfully. Or na only headline you read?
Foreign AffairsRe: Israel Gives UN Palestinian Agency Ultimatum To Leave Jerusalem by hotwax: 7:39am On Jan 26, 2025
360degreess:
..You mean the same Hamas that Israel could not defeat for more than one year?. This war has really exposed all the weaknesses and false propaganda of the Israeli army.
Gaza is a picture of destruction. All those. Hamas in face cover will off their uniform and pretend to be civilian and be crying for non existing dead children.

They are the ones crying on camera when Israel bomb a building.

The few of them who have the courage to engage IDF fire RPG from hiding and when IDF sight them, they quickly change their uniform and start looking like humble harmless innocent civilians.

Hamas has been bursted. They dressed as doctors in Betliaha hospital. They were taken away, doctors started confessing in Israeli detention.

Very coward.
