US government doesn’t grasp that sanctions will only further motivate their internal technology development, until it surpasses US tech. China isn’t North Korea. They have plenty of local talent and capabilities.

The US govt is unable to fathom that SMIC internally innovated to allow 7nm, and now 5nm process that does not need the sanctioned tech. Also, SMIC is likely stretching the truth, calling their N+1 tech 7nm, just to taunt the US.
A great way is by charging for volume of trash produced. My city works that way (pay per bag) and we produce very little trash (sometimes not even filling a trash bag in one week). It also makes you really consider buying something when you include the potential cost of throwing it away, if it is not reusable.
I don’t hate Google. But some of their services/products are more buggy then the competitors (gmail, chat, chrome) and some don’t have much utility (free form search for products or recommendations, maps) so I use the better competitor products, where it benefits me. And I use the Google product when it offers me a benefit (search for technical documentation or finding a specific URL, chrome devtools). In some cases I’m locked in (gmail) and in that respect, it’s frustrating (but not unique to Google)
