Quick notes: Chinese RISC-V | Hazardous waste...

  • China's Semiconductor Push: Alibaba Unveils Open Source RISC-V CPU Amid US-China Trade War. RISC-V is open source, so it's much more resistant to government bans. The Chinese govt has been encouraging wealthy Chinese companies from various industries to enter the semiconductor industry in recent years. The govt forced foreign companies to transfer their technology and IP to Chinese companies if they wanted any chance at the local Chinese market.


  • UK hazardous waste offloaded to India: A Sri Lankan investigation into nearly 3,000 tonnes of illegally imported waste has shown that some of it were sent on to India. The waste had been mislabelled and imported as used mattresses, but contained bio and clinical waste.


  • China's Chump: Why America Can't Trust Pakistan... Khan seeks to continue a pattern of duplicity, the cost of which can be counted in billions of dollars of wasted aid, Chinese backslapping, and American body bags.


  • Raw chicken moves off restaurant plate: The process of rigor mortis could last up to three to four days after death. It is possible that the nerve endings of the animal had not died yet.



  • Animal abuse: "If atrocities committed to farm animals happened to cats or dogs, the abusers will be in prison".


  • Sinister tech: Huawei secretly helped North Korea build, maintain wireless network.
