What's wrong with open source projects?

Large corporations engaged in software development do not shy away from stealing other people's intellectual property in the form of open source code and integrating it into their commercial software

Sooner or later, every programmer will start making his own project, so as not to create competition, Open Source was invented when a programmer, no matter how much time he spent, would not write his own commercial Windows, and his code could be used for free, and he himself would never share it with corporations.

There are other pitfalls, for example, vulnerability in a particular free component can lead to serious threats to information security.

Have China and the United States agreed on tariffs?

2025-06-12 14:09:57

Yes, due to Chinese restrictions on the trade of rare earth metals.

China controls rare earth elements that are necessary for almost all advanced technologies and are almost entirely produced in China. It accounts for 70% of their global production and, more importantly, over 90% of their processing. Thus, it can respond to restrictions from the USA and the EU. Therefore, negotiations will have to be made with China. Chinese media note that the supply of many important medicines in the USA is also almost entirely controlled by China.

China itself is very much dependent on world trade. And foreign trade is a constant leash for China.

What will happen at the OPEC meeting?

Agreement on the reduction of oil production and sale of oil for national currency

All OPEC members benefit from this to reduce dependence on the U.S.

The United States is considering a law known as NOPEC, which would allow the seizure of OPEC assets on U.S. soil if collusion in the market is proven. The United States in particular has no influence in the Middle East. So there is a media attack that we will vote and impose restrictive laws.
