How many times have I told you “do not underestimate China” Huawei has tens of thousands of R&D engineers and scientists
The US technology ban is merely a short term roadblock. In my opinion the US technology blockade will be viewed in history as the biggest policy mistake of all time, in fact a world changing mistake.

We cut open the Kirin 9030 and put it under an electron microscope. The smallest metal pitch measures 32.5 nanometers. That is tighter than Intel 18A, their brand new leading edge node. A Chinese fab with no EUV is out-pitching Intel's EUV node by roughly 10 percent. What's going on here? 🤯 "This is the HiSilicon Kirin 9030, the chip inside Huawei's newest flagship phone. A few weeks ago, we cut it open, put it under an electron microscope, and measured the smallest wires inside the chip, the metal pitch. And what we saw was unexpected. The smallest metal pitch inside the Kirin 9030 measures only 32.5 nanometers. That’s smaller than the metal pitch in Panther Lake, which is based on Intel's brand-new 18A node. A Chinese fab, cut off from the most advanced tools, without EUV, is packing its wires about ten percent tighter than Intel's leading edge EUV node. What’s going on here?"

If Australia eliminated its domestic emissions tomorrow, global emissions would barely change. So is your government prepared to ban or drastically reduce fossil fuel exports to countries like China, or is the policy simply to tax Australians while continuing to export the same fuels overseas?
English
Australia has warmed by 1.59°C since the early 20th century, and the impact of that change is impossible to ignore.
Climate scientists say global heating is increasingly shaping our snow seasons. So, we now have a choice: keep burning fossil fuels and watch our winters shrink, or rapidly cut emissions and give future generations a chance to enjoy the snow for years to come.

@IsaacWHMin71723 @AtheistPhoenix Jokes about Communism are not funny unless everyone gets it.
English
@AtheistPhoenix HAHAHA! What a joke. You're saying communist countries like China are ranked as happy counties? Bro stop lying...
English
@AtheistPhoenix By that logic, we should conclude cold weather causes happiness, because many of those countries are in Northern Europe

@AshPolitik The choice isn't between a lifelong politician and a ruthless capitalist. A country benefits from leaders who understand law, public administration, economics, and how businesses actually create jobs and wealth.
English
No offense, but I'd rather an educated, experienced person of law, legislative acumen, and political nous run the country and pass laws than an extreme capitalist lawnmower man with no empathy for the community, where people are just consumers and workers, and outcomes are driven by pure profit.
A country is not a business.

Look at the Labor front bench. Career politicians almost to a person. Never run a business. Never made a payroll. Never signed the front of a cheque. Then they write the rules the rest of us live under.

It will be amusing to see One Nation supporters, support this.
You have the floor. Let's hear it.

Pauline Hanson has boasted about having one of the worst attendance records in the entire federal parliament, declaring she simply doesn't turn up, missing a year’s worth of sitting days. In a previously unseen part of her exclusive interview with 7NEWS Spotlight, the One Nation leader still insists she's a regular, and she's just got a bounce in the latest polls. #auspol

@TheExBeliever Christianity stands or falls on the resurrection. When, specifically, was that disproven?
English
Christianity has been disproven numerous times. It just cannot stand the test.
Shane Pruitt@shane_pruitt78
The Bible has been by far the most scrutinized and examined book of all time. Yet, not one single part of it has ever been disproven. It truly is the Word of God.

@UsedTrifles That wasn't even my argument.
Take the L, Jew worshiper!
English
The Arabic word "صلی" doesn't have an English equivalent. The term "صلی (salli)" when used for Allah refers to conferring blessings, mercy, praise, and elevation of status, rather than literal supplication or prayer directed to a higher power.

Even if you reject the Shroud of Turin, your claim is still false. If you accept it, then there is archaeological evidence associated with Jesus. If you reject it, the debate shifts to its authenticity. not to whether no archaeological evidence exists.
I call this meme ... false.
English
@BasalatLive Then quote the pre-Islamic text. Where is the pre-Islamic attestation of a deity being the subject of ṣallā where the verb clearly means "blesses"? That's the evidence I've been asking for throughout this discussion.
English
@UsedTrifles First a category error and now a false dichotomy.
Throwing 7th-century native Arabic speakers under the bus to feed your ego. I’ve cited pre-Islamic poetry and 1st-century native authorities. You still have ZERO historical or linguistic citations backing your claim.
Take the L.
English
This is a different argument. Originally you appealed to pre-Islamic linguistic evidence. Now you're appealing to early Islamic lexicographers explaining the Qur'an. Those sources may support an early Islamic interpretation, but they don't demonstrate that pre-Islamic Arabic established the divine usage you originally claimed
It's okay to say you have made a mistake. I also do not need to translate this, but you might if you think these are pre-Islamic sources.
I assume you've shifted your claim to "Early Muslim scholars understood Allah's ṣalāh to mean praise/blessing" and thereby abandoned your earlier claim?
English
@UsedTrifles Pigeon chess exit strategy 😙 Walk away if you must, but here's the earliest 1st-century Arabic lexicography recorded for the word "صلی" when used for God meaning 'blessing'.
7th, 8th, and 9th-century sources. Don't ask me to translate, that will weaken your position even more.
English
That's not how the burden of proof works. I'm not required to disprove a linguistic rule you've asserted. You're required to substantiate it.
Which historical Arabic grammar or linguistic authority states that when ṣallā flows from a superior to an inferior it necessarily means "bestowing blessing"? If this is an established principle of historical linguistics, citing it should be straightforward.
If you can't show it, then your entire claim fails. Allah thus prayed.
Until then, I am not going to debate assertions with you. Either provide the evidence for your shifting claims or I will simply walk away with the knowledge that you have not substantiated your claim and Allah prays.
English
@UsedTrifles The burden is on you: Show a single pre-Islamic example where صلی flowing DOWNWARDS from a superior to an inferior ever meant "supplication". If you can't, the syntax stands.
Thank you for your cooperation so far.
English
Then we agree there is no pre-Islamic attestation of the divine usage. If the evidence cannot exist, then the conclusion isn't established by pre-Islamic evidence, it rests on semantic inference.
You've gone from historical evidence to claiming semantic necessity. What linguistic principle makes that inference necessary rather than interpretive?
English
@UsedTrifles To claim we must see a text where God is the grammatical subject (when pre-Islamic Arabs had no first-person divine scripture) is just demanding a text that couldn't exist to avoid admitting how Arabic syntax works. Thats a CATEGORY ERROR.
English
You're conflating the content of the prayer with the meaning of the verb when God is the subject. The wine-jar example shows a human asking God to bless the jar. It doesn't attest God performing ṣallā. You're still inferring the divine usage from the human usage rather than demonstrating it from pre-Islamic evidence.
English
@UsedTrifles Seriously? You missed the point of the wine-jar example.
In pre-Islamic poetry I quoted, when the wine-merchant performs صلی علی (asks God to bless the wine jar), two roles are established simultaneously:
Human > God: The human is asking
God > Jar: Asking God to bestow blessing
English
if Islam religion is for everyone, why must it be Arabic, why are there no Black figures mentioned, and why do the Hadiths have no account of a single Black person living with the Prophet?
-Abdulaziz Dawet(extract)
English
That's exactly my point. If the pre-Islamic texts never attest the construction you're applying to Allah, then they don't establish its meaning, they establish only human usage. The extension to Allah is your semantic inference, not something objectively demonstrated by the texts themselves.
English
@UsedTrifles "pre-Islamic and early text" and NOT "pre-Islamic deity text exists", establishing semantic patterns.
You're just too excited.
English
Originally you wrote:
"Objective decision comes from patterns in pre-Islamic and early texts."
Now you're saying:
"By objective decision, I mean establishing semantic patterns across subjects."
Then you've moved from historical evidence to semantic inference. Pre-Islamic texts don't establish Allah's usage, they establish human usage. Extending that to Allah is an interpretive step that still requires justification.
An inference isn't self-authenticating. Showing how humans used a verb doesn't, by itself, establish how it must function when predicated of God. That's precisely the point that still needs to be demonstrated.
It would be helpful moving forward if you made your claim clear from the outset rather than shifting it as it's being addressed.
English
@UsedTrifles By "Objective Decision," I mean establishing semantic patterns across subjects, NOT asserting a pre-Islamic deity text exists. If a superior subject doing صلی mean "blessing", that’s a pre-existing syntactic pattern. It seems we just interpreted "objective decision" differently.
