This is a rather good explainer about China’s manufacturing layout, and why certain industries seem to cluster around specific cities.
I think many US cities were shaped like this: Detroit, Pittsburgh, Seattle etc. and largely for the same reason, and I think a lot of them still echo their manufacturing past. But none of them are at the widespread scale that we find in China any more. And this is yet another reason why it’s exceedingly difficult to replicate China’s manufacturing capacity in the US today. It’s not just money; it’s millions of people arranging their lives around manufacturing.
I am always amazed at how seemingly disorganised group of open source developers can build such a robust and unbeattable supply chain. Why do you think that's the case? And all this even with very little or no money 🤔🤯

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it till in sinks in:
Showboating galactic criminal Zaphod Beeblebrox from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was elected president NOT to run the galaxy but to distract attention away from those who do. #THHG

#DonTheCon... who made "Affordability" the centerpiece of his 2024 re-election campaign... now calls #affordability "a #Democrat con-job".
Well, it certainly WAS a #ConJob, as #inflation was going DOWN under #Biden after #DisasasterDon destroyed the #SupplyChain by ignoring #Covid.
But now inflation is back up, and the same guy who RAILED about inflation under #Biden, is now admitting it was all a con-job.
Yeah. We knew that. 😞

Legacy Python Bootstrap Scripts Create Domain-Takeover Risk in Multiple PyPI Packages
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered vulnerable code in legacy Python packages that could potentially pave the way for a supply chain compromise on the Python Package Index (PyPI) via a domain takeover attack.

There's a nasty #OpenSource #SupplyChain worm going around named Shai-Hulud. It's also capable of exposing some projects' long-lived PyPI API Tokens. Read more on what's happening, and what you can do to protect your projects.
