FBI charges former Apple employee with stealing trade secrets from self-driving car project

Yes, isn't it curious how it took decades of research and development to create our semiconductor industry, and then suddenly, bingo—a couple Chinese startups leapfrog into the top 10.

I know this—there are more native born Americans who care more for a bribe and some cash than care about the future of their homeland.

On a side-note, just yesterday, I see that AMD has "licensed" its crown jewels to a Chinese startup. Some Linux engineers tested samples and said they are identical to AMD's own Threadripper top-of-the-line server processors. But we were assured by AMD that this wasn't possible, that only simple technology was "licensed".
