The designer of a system is describing his own system as the better one. Gosh! Obviously he must be totally fair in his assessment and completely without bias!

No it's not because of reasons that you think. Yes there are corporate profits involved, but US has a huge sections of gun owning people who are completely against any significant change. Gun ownership is guaranteed by the 2nd amendment. A constitutional amendment is very very hard in US. It...

While we are at, why not also compare apples with oranges? Or even better, compare cars with ships? GPU and a ASIC are two VERY DIFFERENT things. Like a GPU and CPU. A GPU is 100 times, even 1000 times better at stuff that it is designed to do compared to a CPU. But this doesn't mean that CPU...

You can't have a near space ramjet or scramjet.

I am planning to watch this. Can anyone tell me the time when this will start, and for how long is it planned to go on?

Dude! Japanese shipyards as you YOURSELF said had a very big presence in high end shipbuilding until even a few years back. The reason Japanese shipyards have not been able to compete is because Korea has caught up with lower prices (and same or higher standards) and because Korea/China heavily...

Yes, and I was asking this question because I remembered reading somewhere that Koreans have switched to LNG powered ships. (Koreans specialize in Ultra Large Container Ships and LNG Carriers and are more than happy to merge their two specialities) A bit of research and I found this...

How much distance is there between the two airports? Probably around 100 km?

I don't think this news is accurate. LNG powered ships are not a novelty, in fact the whole shipping industry is moving towards LNG because it is cleaner. Frankly don't know what the news is trying to refer.

I posted what the Iranian minister himself said. So Chinese movies are not able to make a dent in Hong Kong, or any of the major east asian markets where they are allowed, and are able to capture 55 or so % of the local market with the support of huge censorship and restriction in their favor...

Okay let's come to 5G. You seem to think that only telecom (and radio equipment) is the layer that matters in 5G. Yes, US doesn't have a vendor in the category of Nokia, Ericsson, or ZTE. But US is actually very active in many other domains of networking. Qualcomm is very active in many...

Read my original post. I said that India has a competitive advantage in movies. Competitive advantage is a well defined term in economics. And as far as impact is concerned, Indian movies have the most impact when it comes to the domestic market. While foreign movies have as much impact as...

I only produced figures for the East Asian markets. The first task as I said for a film industry, indeed any industry, is to satisfy local demand. In India's highest grossing movies, there are only 4 US movies in the top 50. In China's box market, 21 are foreign movies in the top 50...

You just said that China's movies and shows are popular in East and South East Asia, which the movie figures don't show. In fact, China's market itself has a very significant foreign presence, despite being heavily controlled. I didn't say India dominates movies, but India does have a...

This link proves nothing. The first quarter, which includes the spring festival or CNY is always the bigger than other quarters, and doesn't depict the overall trend. In fact, this article is from last year, and last year at least, the Chinese movie market didn't beat out US.

This is the list of highest grossing Korean movies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films_in_South_Korea Not one Chinese movie in foreign films category!

Wait, when did China become the largest market? Sources please? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films_in_India The first task of the film industry is to satisfy local demand. Look at the top grossing Indian movies. Only 4 are American. The Indian film industry actually...

Oh I know that! But even in East Asia, Japanese and Korean cultural imports usually beat Chinese ones by a fair margin. And please explain to me, how there is NO, not even one single original Chinese movie in the top grossing list for HK?

Meanwhile look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films_in_Hong_Kong There is no Chinese movie in top 20 HK grossing movies! Not a single one!! This in one chart explains why China is facing so many issues in HK.

Run away success doesn't mean that it has to be in top 10. Dangal is by the way at 41. But more than that, Dangal had very little advertising and sustained itself purely on word of mouth. I can bet you won't find any Chinese movie even in the top 50 for either the US or India, despite the...
