This is another nail in the coffin showing that America has forgotten how to build.<p>Anecdotally I have been shocked at just how complacent much of the American culture is. They're usually offended that you'd want things to be better, as though it's a shameful slight on them.<p>Someone once asked me what I thought could be improved. So I listed a few things. They turned around with "If you think it's so bad why dont you leave?". The fact that things are improvable doesnt mean they're bad.
As in Apple silicon?<p>And still waiting for any new language or operating system from East Asia. Their entire IT industry has been built with technology cavalierly appropriated legally and otherwise from the West. Wake me when any reciprocation in fundamental tools, paradigms, algorithms occurs.
This keeps coming up. For a few years now people have been saying how far ahead Asia is moving and how fast tech is moving there. Not just crapware but also hardware, cars, solar, cheap smartphones etc.<p>Every time, someone would inevitably reply pointing out how US GDP is higher or how they are copying or IP rights.<p>While these are all legit problems, people seem to be missing the point. The US is impeding domestic progress with its policies. Reducing funding for education, constant infighting, backward policies on climate, healthcare, immigration and startup ecosystem.<p>All we are left with is bullying and forcing sales of assets. No signs of actually competing.
I don't see how these apps demonstrate any innovation in tech... they are just apps.<p>K8S, TF, MRTK among others seem far more innovative when it comes to software.<p>Hardware is where it's at. SpaceX puts America way ahead for the space industry
