Around 2003 National Geographic did a survey and found that around a third of graduating high school seniors couldn't find the Pacific Ocean on an unlabeled globe. This has been coming for a while.
I have a Samsung 7" tablet that I use mostly for reading, and have never had any complaint about it or the previous one (which I dropped on a cement floor and broke). I previously had a Nexus 7, which was great until it no longer would take a charge (by which time it was discontinued) and I got the first Samsung. I like the 7" form factor because it fits nicely in an interior jacket pocket so that I can take it and read while my wife shops, and have never had any issue with extra apps being installed as some posters here complain about.
What is your FSD use case?
I hate driving, and according to my wife I'm a shitty driver.
So you claim 90% of China's foreign earning goes to weapons?
[Citation Needed]
its a command economy, and that has always proven to be shitty.
There have been four examples, USSR, China, Cuba, Vietnam. Vietnam and China are going gangbusters, tiny Cuba has managed to withstand six decades of constant economic attacks by the most powerful economy on the planet, and the USSR survived as a major force in the world longer than any country outside of Europe and North America. I'd say that your definition of "shitty" leaves a bit to be desired.
Now all those houses have residents. Remember when the "train stations to nowhere" meant that the Chinese economy was definitely going to collapse? Now those stations are surrounded by businesses, industry and homes.
It's not the same kind of economy as we have, or the same kind of culture, and people somehow are unable to understand that.
The US/EU are not the entire world, just the most profitable portion of it. As Belt & Road improves electrical infrastructure throughout the Third World those countries will be snapping up anything that comes in at a reasonable price point.
Oops. My bad. "Almost a decade"
Yeah, but you see, from marketing perspective what sounds better? The Line or the Dot or the Pimple?
They had these 3 choices, they made the more sensible one even though it has nothing to do with a good or sensible city outline.
This just leaves more product for other countries that run by morons, probably reducing prices worldwide. This is why much of Africa had 5G wireless before the US did.
it might be better to pay people based on the value they create in the world instead of whatever the market decides
- market is a collection of all people involved, who is better suited to decide on what the value is other than all of the people as a collective vote?
doctor who proscribes pumpkin seeds to cure cancer actually create negative value, yet they get paid quite a lot sometimes, so therefor the market is an ineffeciant way of deciding how much to pay people.
- they are removing the money from the gullible, which may be argued is a better way to redistribute the money (all done willingly even though misguidedly).
people who make a ton of money by owning things but do no work at all, such as heirs to large fortunes
- the market has already decided that the parents of heirs were productive enough, that even their heirs can now enjoy the fruits of the labor of the people who made the money.
Most americans at this point will piss themselves and run away from dangerous thoughts like these.
- dangerous by what measure?
It won't understand specifications or building code.
It most certainly does. I did say "adequately trained".
Citizens United.
'Nuff said.
An engineer is someone who does list processing in FORTRAN.
