and it's like wait a minute that knife cuts both ways yeah well google and facebook aren't countries but there is a might as well be there's a line in here that even takes it further than what you said krista because this is a non-binding agreement yeah this is a press release to just just attack china this is just a burn book to determine who's popular i was reading the news stories and i i noticed that there is a theme for today's episode which is news stories that don't matter like it's all meetings right like meetings to determine things yeah we literally it's like okay here's the thing we're gonna talk about stuff and it's like here's why it doesn't matter well you said i don't know if you said it in this iteration but it is december so it's time to coast we're not gonna get anything done we might as well just pretend and but that's in some cases you're right but in other cases and it seems to be week after week it's the fcc and the ftc now headed by two just wolverines who are constantly attacking and this one is interesting because this one isn't our country lena khan has said listen i am the law and not just the american law the ftc sues to stop blockbuster chip deal between nvidia and arm yes that's right nvidia which is based here in the us is being sued to not acquire something that exists in another country this is you know a bold move cotton let's see if it works out for four to one or four to zero this was a unanimous vote that was the thing that was surprising for me well no one has nvidia hasn't lobbied right that's the problem nvidia needs to do more for glorious leaders that's the thing well they are i think another thing that gives them confidence is they're in a long line of people trying to stop this deal yeah so it's like no one even cares but this is just a nice little headline for the ftc just get that out right before christmas oh beautiful you gotta think nvidia's backup plan is risk five it's like all right we can't buy arm we'll just do it with risk five because risk five is open but that would be not a risk five acquisition per se but just using risk five intellectual property well china as we know is the enemy the greatest enemy and they do seem to be stirring a bit it is worrying especially that south china sea so we come up with all these rules about not using their technology but there's a big difference between the man in the white house dictating a thing and the reality in the server rooms because there's so much technological disconnect between the two how does the the big man on top ever confirm that these things were done correctly well it's a long audit process and the news is not good the us government agencies several of them bought chinese surveillance tech despite federal ban include lorax da hua and hike vision or high k vision oh these are you know those are companies that tech crunch alleges have been uh linked to human rights abuses and uh they're on the naughty list well federal agencies bought them anyway
