Hm ok. So one writes source code in a coding language, it gets turned into 1s and 0s. Why can't you go back? Source code gets compiled into a specific order of 1s and 0s, but the same set of 1s and 0s could be made from different types of source code?

the extent of support for the ukrainian military is not news to this community, but it is interesting to see the knives out between different parties in headline NYT reporting. despite the admission of close military collaboration, there's clearly a tone of discord between ukraine and the US and the US and the major euro countries.
I wonder if a secondary affect of this could be helping facilitate american capital coming into china via korean/japanese vassals
Agreed, xiaohongshu was a very good poster and added valuable perspective. I hope they (he? She? I don't remember) come back
