It sounds good to me. The robots are standing in for Japanese workers who were never born. They direly need to largely automate their economy or they are going to be in a world of hurt.

As for the Filipino workers being 'exploited,' this gives them an employment opportunity they didn't have before. What's bad about it? It sounds like easy work.

And that attitude is why you are going to lose.

What do you think - thicker display cases?

A lot of security goes towards making sure people can't sneak in, but these guys didn't play by those rules anyways.

They cant get their own designs manufactured on EUV machines built by a Dutch company, due to export restrictions placed on those machines by the US...

Which just means that China will develop its own independent capability.

And yes, that might take 10-20 years, but to China thats not a long time, thats just the time it takes - while other countries think about timescales in 5-10 year spurts, China has plans set out 50 years ahead. And China accepts that things take time.

So it really depends on what you mean by "fast".

100 is a lot more than 4, but there's still no way it weeded peanut allergies out of the gene pool!

Ahh no, services and software are not included in the trade deficit calculations for some reason...

So the fact that the world uses American cloud services, financial services and other things - yeah, not important, and you should definitely ignore the fact that those things alone flip deficits on their heads for most countries.

The US: "You arent buying enough from us! You need to buy more from us!"

Also the US: "You cant buy basically anything that you actually need, we forbid it - buy more cheap bulk goods that you can get from anywhere rather than the technology goods you actually want perhaps?"

"peanut allergy is the leading cause of death from anaphylaxis due to food, particularly in teenagers, though the rate is low. The national food allergy death registry reports fewer than four deaths per year over the past 10 years in the US."

4 deaths per year nationwide!

It's one of these things where there is so much written and discussed about a niche issue that all the information leaves people grossly misled more than informed.

Proven by the fact that most people immediately put it into a case that is now thicker than the phone itself.

The progress needs to be made in apartment building parking slots. Yes there would need to be as many charge cords as there are tenants with electric cars / PHEV's, but they don't need to be "superchargers." California at least is making it happen.

It's really one-car households that need a hybrid the most. Out in the suburbs households have multiple cars which can be an EV for daily driving and a gas car for long trips. (Or I guess one day an EV for practically everything once the infrastructure is ubiquitous and the tech is good enough.)

Then you should love instant. It's the purest concentration of coffe out there, and you can put as little - or as much - in your cup as you like.

I admit it, I drink Tasters Choice. It's good, I'm telling you! At a restaurant of cafe I sometimes get coffee I like more, but just as often I like it less!

I suppose people are more likely to charge the easier and more affordable it is. Assuming that is the case, it would follow that the existing plugin-hybrid cars will be charged more often in the future than they are today, because charging infrastructure will improve during the lifetime of the car.

"healthy body mass index (BMI)"

I'm going to step up in defense of BMI. Both BMI and all-cause mortality are simple to define and objectively measurable, and the association between them is incredibly strong:

Hey, it's all relative. This is not far from saying, "only 50% of jobs are above average!!!"

One of the most fascinating aspects of H2O is the sheer number of forms it can take under different conditions.
