Yeah - stealth cuts by attrition is never good for companies. The people able to find jobs leave, and your staff becomes packed with types of people unable to find alternative employment.

Gets how successful companies are when their staff becomes 100% people no one else is willing to hire?

I hope that a few hundred years from now, self-driving cars might have the good sense not to try to force their way through a street festival packed with people attempting to celebrate Lunar New Year.

Those people didn't ask to be beta testers at all, let alone on their most significant cultural holiday.

What's the point of having a highly informed opinion if it isn't used for anything?

Are you saying only the ignorant should be allowed to make political statements or hold political opinions?

Often things are a question of scientific fact, not a question of opinion - even if the ignorant believe them to be a question of opinion.

If we did things your way, there'd be no need for any scientific study at all, only technological development.

Did I say it would solve problems like magic? I just offered a rebuttal to your insane comment that it would be impossible.

Certainly I believe the healthcare systems in the four countries I named are significantly better than that of the USA.

That may be a plus or a minus depending on your personal political beliefs.

Do they? All technology takes a while to get going. EVs represent 2% of all cars in my country.

Do you think EVs are and will be a failure?

So the 2% of remittances that TFA quotes is meaningless without the accompanying growth rate. TFA unfortunately doesn't give it, so we can't make a judgement either way.

Extra RAM drains battery all day every day whether you are using it or not. In contrast, swapping and relaunching happens relatively instantaneously at spaced out intervals dependent on how long the user is using a particular app.

So unless people are swapping and relaunching apps a few time a minute 24x7, it's hard for me to believe to cpu usage even for power users would drain as much as having all that extra ram.

I'd have to see data to be able to belive that claim.
