Lisa Kudrow was also grossed out by Robert Zemeckis’ HereHJ Shipbuilding & Construction Develops 88,000m3 Eco-Friendly Ammonia CarrierChina announced Tuesday it is banning exports to the United States of gallium, germanium, antimony and other key high-tech materials with potential military applications, as a general principle, lashing back at U.S. limits on semiconductor-related exports. The Chinese Commerce Ministry announced the move after the Washington expanded its list of Chinese companies subject to export controls on computer chip-making equipment, software and high-bandwidth memory chips. Such chips are needed for advanced applications. The ratcheting up of trade restrictions comes as President-elect Donald Trump has been threatening to sharply raise tariffs on imports from China and other countries, potentially intensifying simmering tensions over trade and technology. China's Foreign Ministry also issued a vehement reproof. “China has lodged stern protests with the U.S. for its update of the semiconductor export control measures, sanctions against Chinese companies, and malicious suppression of China’s technological progress," Lin Jian, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said in a routine briefing Tuesday. "I want to reiterate that China firmly opposes the U.S. overstretching the concept of national security, abuse of export control measures, and illegal unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction against Chinese companies,” Lin said. China said in July 2023 it would require exporters to apply for licenses to send to the U.S. the strategically important materials such as gallium and germanium. In August, the Chinese Commerce Ministry said it would restrict exports of antimony, which is used in a wide range of products from batteries to weapons, and impose tighter controls on exports of graphite. Such minerals are considered critical for national security. China is a major producer of antimony, which is used in flame retardants, batteries, night-vision goggles and nuclear weapon production, according to a 2021 U.S. International Trade Commission report. The limits announced by Beijing on Tuesday also include exports of super-hard materials, such as diamonds and other synthetic materials that are not compressible and extremely dense. They are used in many industrial areas such as cutting tools, disc brakes and protective coatings. The licensing requirements that China announced in August also covered smelting and separation technology and machinery and other items related to such super-hard materials. China is the biggest global source of gallium and germanium, which are produced in small amounts but are needed to make computer chips for mobile phones, cars and other products, as well as solar panels and military technology. After the U.S. side announced it was adding 140 companies to a so-called “entity list” subject to strict export controls, China’s Commerce Ministry protested and said it would act to protect China’s “rights and interests.” Nearly all of the companies affected by Washington's latest trade restrictions are based in China, though some are Chinese-owned businesses in Japan, South Korea and Singapore. Both governments say their respective export controls are needed for national security. China's government has been frustrated by U.S. curbs on access to advanced processor chips and other technology on security grounds but had been cautious in retaliating, possibly to avoid disrupting China’s fledgling developers of chips, artificial intelligence and other technology. Various Chinese industry associations issued statements protesting the U.S. move to limit access to advanced chip-making technology. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said it opposed using national security as a grounds for export controls, “abuse of export control measures, and the malicious blockade and suppression of China.” “Such behavior seriously violates the laws of the market economy and the principle of fair competition, undermines the international economic and trade order, disrupts the stability of the global industrial chain, and ultimately harms the interests of all countries,” it said in a statement. The China Semiconductor Industry Association issued a similar statement, adding that such restrictions were disrupting supply chains and inflating costs for American companies. “U.S. chip products are no longer safe and reliable. China’s related industries will have to be cautious in purchasing U.S. chips,” it said. The U.S. gets about half its supply of both gallium and germanium metals directly from China, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. China exported about 23 metric tons (25 tons) of gallium in 2022 and produces about 600 metric tons (660 tons) of germanium per year. The U.S. has deposits of such minerals but has not been mining them, though some projects underway are exploring ways to tap those resources. The export restrictions have had a mixed impact on prices for those critical minerals, with the price of antimony more than doubling this year to over $25,000 per ton. Prices for gallium, germanium and graphite also have mostly risen. AP researcher Yu Bing in Beijing contributed to this report.

(Reuters) -A jury in U.S. federal court in Delaware on Friday said it was deadlocked on one of the questions that it has been asked to resolve in Arm Holdings’ lawsuit against Qualcomm, but is still deliberating the two other questions before it. Arm’s lawsuit against Qualcomm asks for the destruction of chip designs it acquired from Nuvia for $1.4 billion in 2021. Nuvia’s technology has become the basis of Qualcomm’s push into the personal computer market. At stake in the case, in which Arm is suing its biggest customer, is the fate of Qualcomm’s expansion into new markets using Nuvia’s technology and whether Arm can continue to be viewed as a neutral player throughout the chip industry. Nuvia and Qualcomm both had license agreements with Arm, and Qualcomm sought to transfer Nuvia’s designs to itself after buying the startup company. Arm objected that Nuvia needed its permission to do so and terminated Nuvia’s license, ticking off the legal battle. The case requires a unanimous verdict from the eight-person jury on three questions. The first of those questions was whether Nuvia breached its agreement with Arm, and the jury said Friday it was deadlocked. The jury said it is still debating the two other questions, which are whether Qualcomm breached Nuvia’s Arm license agreement and whether Qualcomm’s central processor designs are properly licensed under its own agreement with Arm.

Social Security tackles overpayment ‘injustices,’ but problems remainI’ve written countless times about GM’s shortsighted move to ditch CarPlay on all its EVs going forward. Meanwhile, other automakers like Ford have doubled down on supporting CarPlay and giving users as many options as possible. In a new interview this week, Hyundai executive Olabisi Boyle said the automaker is still “maintaining Android Auto and CarPlay” ... at least for now. Boyle, who serves as Hyundai’s senior vice president of product planning and mobility strategy, made the comments during an interview with InsideEVs this week . Boyle said that Hyundai’s focus is to “give people all the options” as the market moves toward the future. Boyle likens the situation to the evolving EV charging landscape in the United States. Many automakers, including Hyundai, have announced plans to transition from CCS to NACS for charging in the United States, adopting the charging connector developed first by Tesla. In the interim, however, automakers are focused on supplying customers with adapters to use NACS-enabled chargers in addition to CCS. “Right now, we’re still maintaining Android Auto and CarPlay,” Boyle explained. “It’s a bit like EV charging. As we’re moving, give people all the options. Another example from Boyle: continuing to offer internal combustion engine cars and hybrids as the transition to EVs continues. “Eventually, we’ll all be fully EV,” Boyle explained to InsideEVs . “But it’s going to take some time, and you don’t want your business to fail in between. So you need to have a strategy that can adapt.” On a longer-term timeline, however, Boyle suggests something better than CarPlay and Android Auto could emerge: Whether automaker software and phone-mirroring features coexist in the future or not, Boyle thinks the auto industry will eventually converge on some kind of standard. Knowing what Hyundai has in the pipeline, she says there may be better alternatives to CarPlay and Android Auto “that people are not even imagining now.” That “might be the future,” she said. 9to5Mac’s Take While Boyle’s comments are good news for Hyundai owners in the short term, they don’t exude confidence for the long-term future. The Hyundai executive is clearly suggesting that the company views CarPlay as a stop-gap solution as the automaker continues developing its first-party infotainment technology. On the other hand, GM ditched CarPlay on the promise of eventually building something that rivals Apple’s phone mirroring system. It at least seems like Hyundai knows better than to take that approach. Also worth pointing out is that Hyundai is not on Apple’s list of automakers that have signed on to support next-gen CarPlay.

1 2 3 Kolkata: The Mamata Banerjee govt's focus on human capital formation through a bottom-up approach is leading to an information technology boom in the state, attracting top companies like Infosys, according to principal chief adviser to the CM, Amit Mitra. He was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Rising Asia-BCC&I summit on Friday. According to Mitra, 905 new primary schools, 6,095 upper primary schools, 747 secondary schools and 2,096 higher secondary schools had been set up during Banerjee's time in office. Besides, 52 new govt colleges, 543 private colleges and 19 state-aided universities came up during this period. The CM, during the inauguration of the Infosys campus on Wednesday, had said that 45,000 engineers would graduate every year, with a large chunk of them being computer engineers and this would create the backbone of human capital for the IT industry. Mitra pointed out that every dollar spent on human resources result in an addition to GDP of $11. "In the US, 40% of growth is based on human capital," he said According to him, the east constitutes 12.8% of the GDP of the country and this will only increase. "Bengal constitutes 44.3% of the GDP of the east, so once the state grows, the region would grow as well," Mitra added. The summit was also attended by BCC&I president Arnab Basu, Rising Asia president Aniruddha Lahiri, Patton MD Sanjay Budhia and Luxmi Group MD Rudra Chatterjee.Saturday, December 21, 2024 Blink Parametric has introduced its innovative flight disruption assistance product, FlyEasy, in partnership with Zurich Indonesia.
