People are probably downvoting you because it's generally frowned upon to make baseless "just-so" claims, especially in something as difficult to make credible claims in as geopolitics, and especially when it asserts the superiority of some groups over others (or appears to.)

That all being said, there have been studies of how "meritocratic" different societies are (albeit I don't know how that is operationalized) and there will be very quantitative measures of how well each country weathers the pandemic; someone could certainly (when the data is in) check to see how those features tend to relate.

Six years of experience working as a bioinformatics engineer and looking to explore new areas in the biotech space. My educational background includes enough biology that I can read a paper and understand an experimental setup, but my skillset is a strong mix of software engineering and data science; I can build the two-way interface between your lab and the data center.

I’ve never been to Russia and don’t know the Russian attitude towards tech or voting. But I’m confident that if the US had a system like this and made a reasonably usable phone app to be the front end, almost no one under the age of 60 would bother to wait in line for a physical voting booth ever again.

All true, but why mot data mine too, while they’re at it?

If you’re not the customer you’re a product... but it doesn’t follow that, if you are the customer, you’re not also a product.

Will you be buying Intel-based machines? Or will you be running a hybrid-architecture cluster now?

I don’t know very much about computing on that scale, but I wonder if all the people selling off Intel stock are thinking this story through.
