Comment Re:China 1 Netherlands 0 (Score 2) 30

And since 2018 the car manufactures were complacent to let their main (only?) supplier be controlled by China? They had ~7 years to diversify supply chains. Did they? I site with "corporate greed and complacency" plus "stupidity of 'small government' ideas". Yeah, "market will sort it out" ... it will just in rather painful way.

Comment Re:Real AI (Score 1) 12

"haphazard in their design"? There is no 'design', more like 'haphazard in their nature" or rather "haphazard as a result of the process of evolution" but yeah understanding how it work requires a lot of such experiments.
However, the AI better be less messy. I hope we can do better here with the 'design'. But in any case it's going to be an Alien Intelligence rather than Artificial (human) Intelligence.

Comment Re:Does it explain the "why" of pupularity. (Score 1) 46

Ok, "killed" is too strong, fine, so rather "displaced"?

But "rightfully" was a tribute the Perl's syntax being heavily punctuation based and with rampant plurality - the same thing can be expressed multiple ways. This did not help withe ease of use and maintainability, hence "rightfully". (At may old age I am starting to favor "verbosity" over "expressiveness". Perl always looked like "assembly" of scripting languages.)
