Sounds more like a Chinese restaurant that just happens to operate in Holland.

Exactly the same in Guiyang, which was busy promoting itself as the new Big Data capital of world, even though much of its peasant population could barely afford a second pair of pants. Head out to the Hi-tech zone, where all the new hotels are nearly as empty as the big office building emblazoned with names like Microsoft, Google and Foxconn. Perhaps the only difference is that the local officials are 'slightly' more corrupt and delusional.

Wasn't American Factory just another propaganda salvo in the ongoing trade war?

They have the money for this, but often do not have the language abilities to complete homework exercises. And because they are so important to the university economy, professors and administrators give them an easy ride when it comes to exam time. Much better to have a high paying international student come back for a masters and a PhD than a low paying local student.

How much dystopia do we have to imagine before we actually do something to try and avoid such a dark future. The only way to create a better future is to fully imagine it first and solarpunk is the way to do that. Unfortunately for these old guard writers, it is much easier to write depressing cyberpunk than uplifting solarpunk.

Who by their own admission eat anything with four legs except the table and anything that swims except a submarine.

I challenge you to go to China and try to open a wechat pay account without a Chinese bank account. I guarantee you will find it to be impossible

Is there is difference in environmental impact between 4K and 8K?

Does that mean C02 levels are lower at higher altitudes?

"An estimated 23 million people in Britain now use electric toothbrushes. Their rise is partly driven by our -- somewhat belated -- national realization that oral health is important, and by the fact that we have more disposable income than we did a generation ago." What about all the food banks, unemployment and homelessness in the UK? Are these simply figments of an over-imaginative media?

The latest Winsun press conference looks very suspicious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Lots of experts nobody has ever heard of breathlessly enthusing about what a wonderful company this is and how it is using amazing technology that will change the world. I have been to lot of similar events in China, and they should really make any self-respecting journalist view the whole thing with a good dose of skepticism.

Clearly you have never lived in China or understand the mentality of the Chinese mob.

I would add to this Darwin Lau for his work on the open-source software analysis platform CASPR. Cable-driven robots are about as common today as home PCs back were when Woz was working on them, but they will likely be become far more common than any other kind of robot in the future, thanks to Beckhoff technology and mathematical models like Lau's.
