What is Russia's path?

First it will restore the USSR, then it will start a war with China.

After the coup in Ukraine in 2014 and the failed coup in Belarus in 2020, Russia realized that if nothing was done, the country would face war. Therefore, an association of countries like the European Union will be created. Belarus will be the first to enter it. Due to the sanctions in the country, almost the entire high-tech sector depends on supplies from China. With sanctions, high levels of corruption, high taxes and the elites' disinterest in change, Russia will not be able to resist the Chinese economy. Eventually, China will displace all competitors, including domestic companies, and will dominate the country. There is no progress in creating a competitive economy. Chinese specialists will move to the country en masse, displacing Russian specialists. When Russia tries to restrict China, China will act militarily.

Moscow takes all taxes for itself, and then distributes them by region. The regional elite is not at all interested in the growth of business in the regions, since its well-being depends on the ability to ask Moscow, and not on the growth of the number of enterprises. It is impossible to conduct business legally in the regions without paying bribes and fines. The legislation allows businesses to be blocked for 30 days in case of violations, so businesses pay bribes to avoid being blocked. A 47% tax and a 13% credit rate also do not contribute to business growth. Compared to the Chinese tax of 12% and the credit rate of 0.02%. Despite the fact that China spends money on cargo transportation, it is more profitable to produce and buy in China than in Russia.

The East is a delicate matter. The war has increased Russia's economic dependence on China

Are Apple processors faster than Intel?

No, it's just that Intel processors can't reach their maximum frequency because of the thickness of the laptop.

ARM-based processors are more power-hungry than Intel's x64 processors. Additionally, ARM processors use a 5nm process, while Intel uses a 10nm process, which affects power consumption.

There is a lot of marketing nonsense in the comparison of these processors. For Apple, it is definitely more advantageous to have its own processor and not depend on Intel. You can't compare processors of different architectures, and even less so trust the benchmarks.

Intel decided to demonstrate that its processors are better than the Apple M1

By starvation

The results of a study evaluating the effect of interval fasting on the course of type 2 diabetes mellitus have been published. The interval fasting regime included repeating 6 cycles of 5 days of strict calorie reduction followed by 10 days of normal nutrition. The primary endpoint of the study was to achieve remission of diabetes mellitus.

Pharmaceutical companies don't invest in developing diabetes treatments because they want to make money off people for the rest of their lives by selling them insulin.
