What happens if China starts a war with Taiwan?

2022-10-21 11:05:58

There is a 30% chance that China will launch military operations. After Pelosi's visit, China's maneuvers resulted in an economic blockade of Taiwan.

If war breaks out, China will fight against Taiwan, America, Japan and Nato. India may join the conflict. China can seize the island by force, but it will be an empty island destroyed by war, which will have to be rebuilt. Sanctions will be imposed on China. Because of the sanctions, all of China's economic and scientific successes will be nullified. China is also monitoring the outcome of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

And what Taiwan is preparing for. The 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China is about to take place, where very serious decisions on Taiwan can be made. Therefore, Taiwan shows in advance that it is ready for negotiations.

Will there be a global financial crisis due to U.S. bank failures?

2023-03-29 11:59:43

No, the U.S. financial system is stable, but bank stocks will fall

Next week the Fed will decide whether to raise rates or not. If the rate is lowered it will be a blow to the dollar, if it is raised it will be a blow to the banks. Most bank analysts are predicting that the rate will go up because it is more important to save the dollar. The report will be published in 3 weeks after the meeting, i.e. at the end of April. It also coincides with the publication of Q2 reports. After that there will be an avalanche of falling stocks of banks and technology companies.

Why is Microsoft rewriting all its code in Rust?

2024-05-13 06:09:24

To simplify development methods and reduce costs

C programmers are expensive and there are few of them. Moreover, they can leave for competitors. Meanwhile, the new RUST language allows writing safe code and hiring cheap beginners, which makes development easier and cheaper.

The company is structured in such a way that if programmers do nothing, they don't get paid. The KPI is low because it is calculated based on the number of lines of code written. That's why they love rewriting the same thing 100 times to increase their KPI.
