Why America should help Pakistan?

-

 Dr. Daphne Rand, a senior US official, has said that she will support the alliance between the US and Pakistan. She has also asked the US government to do more to help improve the economy of Pakistan.

The Dawn newspaper says that Dr. Daphne Rand, the Director of the US Foreign Office, made this promise on behalf of the US Secretary of State at the Pakistan Day event at the Pakistani Embassy.

 Pakistan is facing a crisis due to historic floods, which have left a third of the country under water and displaced millions. At the height of the floods, the international media reported on the disaster a lot, and countries that wanted to help rushed to do so. As of November 2022, the United States has delivered $97 million in aid, but this figure barely registers on the scale of Pakistan's recovery requirements, estimated at $40 billion. Increasing assistance will not only avert the crisis and fulfill U.S. humanitarian obligations, but also serve US strategic interests.  (Increasing U.S. Aid to Pakistan Is a Strategic and Moral Imperative, 2022)

 Pakistan has few friends in Washington, with many accusing it of enabling the Afghan Taliban and hindering the U.S.-India relationship. Concerns about corruption have also hindered attempts to build support for more aid.

 Some people in the US think that Pakistan is no longer a strategic partner of the US due to the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, and continues to harbor Islamic terrorists who threaten India.  (The US Should Not Help Pakistan, 2023). Their anger is justified. Our military and civilian leaders have played a deadly game to get money from the successive American administrations.

 American pragmatists should heed Pakistan's need for aid, as a destabilized Pakistan would have a negative impact on regional security and the U.S. counter-terrorism strategy. Increased aid could also capitalize on growing reservations in Pakistan about the tight-knit economic relationship with China. (Increasing U.S. Aid to Pakistan Is a Strategic and Moral Imperative, 2022) 

 The United States should help Pakistan more by sending technical teams to help it recover from the floods and deal with its finances. The recent rollover of the suspension of payments on $132 million in debt was a good start, but the US must keep rallying international debtors to suspend and restructure Pakistan's debt, refill foreign exchange reserves, and help pay for important imports. The future of the South Asian nation and U.S. regional interests depend on it. (Increasing U.S. Aid to Pakistan Is a Strategic and Moral Imperative, 2022)

I can hold the biggest meeting on 48 hours' notice: Altaf Hussain. Yes he can

-
 Altaf Hussain of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement in London has said he can hold the biggest rally today on 48 hours notice. His popularity can be gauged by his low voter turnout in recent by-elections in Karachi. He spoke at a press conference in Egware, London.   Altaf Hussain stated that if he is given a free hand, he can hold the largest rally in 48 hours even today. He has stated that MQM Pakistan has no status and that the only person known to the public is Altaf Hussain. 'Do you consider anyone as MQM except Altaf Hussain,' he asked the journalists and activists present at the press conference.   The MQM ruled Karachi in the 1980s and 1990s, and had a lot of influence in many urban areas of Sindh. It has been accused of violence, and security agencies have conducted operations against it. Altaf Hussain has said that the London court gave a decision in favor of MQM Pakistan in the properties case, and if the British Government and Bar Association of British Courts do n...

Everything you need to know about DDR5

-

 DDR4 memory is found on most personal computers. The next generation memory standard is coming out. Computers users expect increased performance and optimal power consumption  in the new chips.  If we focus on raw data, the main changes include a reduction in the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V, and the 8n prefetch buffer will be replaced by 16n prefetch buffers, i.e. 16 bits per hour will migrate from memory cells to the IO buffer, while performance will be scaled from 3.2 Gbps to 6.4 Gbps per I/O connection. We can expect increased performance as some memory makers  have managed to enhance JEDEC specifications for DDR4.  The design of the DDR5 memory modules is based on 288 needles. The application of DDR5 will requires a new platform.  The DIMM has been divided into two channels. A memory module offers two 32-bit channels, of which there will be twice 40 bits with ECC. Between 8 bytes to 16 bytes the minimum stroke length varies. Sense a module uses two chann...
