We don't always have a choice in the matter.
Pearl Harbor was 83 years ago.
China is also installing lots of wind and solar.
The wind and solar are growing faster than the coal.
What ChatGPT & the other LLMs are capable of, was inconceivable just a few years ago.
What is ChatGPT doing now that was inconceivable just a few years ago? It seems you are either making things up or are ignorant.
The EU market has been flooded with Chinese solar panels in a successful campaign to destroy the EU solar industry.
People were saying the same thing 20 years ago: That the Chinese were flooding the market to drive everyone else out, and then they'd jack up the prices.
Well, here we are after 20 years, and Chinese panels are cheaper than ever. There isn't a jacked-up price anywhere.
Protectionists have cried wolf on this too many times.
That is not the case for solar farms, which have economies of scale.
Indeed. The future of solar is vast arrays in the desert, not bespoke installations on rooftops.
One problem is that some places have too much solar, eg. California
We need better storage so solar energy can be used 24/7.
Sodium batteries might fix that problem.
Best to keep wars on someone else's soil.
Best to stay out of wars.
Why should we care what happens in the Mideast?
It mattered back when we got our oil from there (although the wars didn't seem to help), but we are now self-sufficient in oil and gas.
America's military has a reverse Midas curse: Everything they touch turns to dust.
you say this as though we haven't been privatizing everything for the past 50 years.
when did we agree that private ownership failed? what do you think we've been trying economically since the 1950s?
my personal theory is that liberTARDianism is just blowback from the government trying to convince latin america that selling their natural resources to US corporations is a good thing actually LOL (and btw you don't have a choice, we'll change your government if you don't).
Thank You. I'll update my question to be more complete.
"Are you incompetent or evil, or both?"
Fingerprint and FaceID are both vulnerable to physically overpowering the authorized user — trivially — to unlock it. Passwords are (well, can be, if you're competent) much more secure for circumstances short of actual torture.
When you fly, which thing do you pick first, Price, or safety?
My point is, we the consumers are almost monolithic in picking the cheapest option first. I call it the Harbor Freight option. There is a reason there is no SnapOn Tool
or MacTool store in every city.
We're flying in Pittsburg quality airplanes, because that is what most people want.
When one cannot tell the difference between incompetence or malfeasance , they'll use that to their advantage every single time.
We need to start asking that as a question: "Are you incompetent or evil?" Those are the only two reasonable alternatives.
I already fail to understand why you need a different app for different webpages.
1. Some apps work offline, but that doesn't work if they are webpages. I use my compass app when I am far from any cell tower.
2. Many apps use on-device databases, credentials, or other local storage.
3. Many apps use the camera, microphone, tilt sensor, or neural engine.
4. Users feel secure seeing a dedicated icon on their screen and less secure about searching for a website and then remembering their login and password.
