Wikipedia is a tool to bring center left moderates into the fold of leftist-communist politics. The funding and and ads are very much part of America's left wing.

Compared to just working out of the box? Yep. AMD wins.

I am 90% switched to Linux thanks to AMD. All my games work now.

Nvidia was such a pain in the arse with their proprietary packages. AMD's Open Source modules are far superior on Linux.

Yes - this is a major part of my point. 200 years ago, people had way more children than they do now, and did so healthfully. Half of all women had 7 or more children! While child mortality was a huge problem, maternal mortality was way lower than most people realize.

Even then - the average woman - AVERAGE - in 1800 was 7. Imagine that - women in 1800, in an age where poor sanitation, dearth of hospitals, lack of modern medicine - wound up having 7 children without the benefit of any of that stuff.

Child mortality was definitely high - 462 per thousand births - so even if 46% of those born died by their 5th birthday, familes were still pretty big - that works out to be about 4 children per family on average - many were much larger.

Sure we can - see SpaceX.

Amazing things can happen when we move away from a government model to a private model with government sponsorship. That's how we built the transcontinental railway.

The only things we have to worry about is corruption in that model (cost plus contracts, sweetheart deals to inferior suppliers, etc) and excessive bureaucratic meddling (all things nuclear).

It's the Facebook commercial version of Signal. You just need a Facebook account to use it.

We just use Signal instead.

Checks out.

Very typical of this generation. At that table they are all texting one another.

91% of American 13 year olds have or have access to a smart phone.

Smartphones are becoming the primary method of communication for this new generation. For those without it, they are effectively cut off from their peers and ostracized. They cease to matter, because the entire conversation is taking place on those smartphones.

Ever see a car load of teenagers all texting on their phones? They're texting each other. They don't talk to each other. Actual conversations are secondary.

No.

My 13 year old kid gets bullied on the regular because of this.

I would not be surprised if this lead to a few suicides.

They're making some pretty good for the buck android phones these days. Also, they own what's left of Bell Labs/Lucent, and still manufacture a lot of back end wireless telecom switch gear. You're phone might be connecting to one of their access points right now.

Soft sciences are notoriously coopted by people to push political agendas. The Nazis, for example published a lot of eugenics garbage.
