Prefer Trump to Kamala! Who wouldn't have a fascist than a Marxian collectivist leader. Prefer Mussolini to Stalin ... prefer Chang to Mao ... prefer Franco to Ulbricht ... prefer Pinochet to Castro ... prefer Pahlavi to Pol Pot. Who wouldn't, beside Trotsky-slut scum & CMYK-pederasts ?

Do you really mean low profit generates better research ! What I wonder is the mechanism for such a result ? I can see the opposite easily. Greed makes nearly all humans work like hell ! Profit also provides metric for success. I understand, if your research cures acne you makes $zillion$; if you cure a 1/(10^7) variant of breast cancer you pay rent and can write the next grant proposal. Welcome to earth without Pol Pot or Stalin running the show.

China has lots of bamboo to sell and (/.) has lots of Chinese agent posters pimping the ride for ANY action favorable to the CCP. Thus the bamboo skyscraper meme pretends to serious consideration rather than being laughed out of the building-crane ( or should I say 'go up in flames' ) . House flooring is of-course a different matter; bamboo floors are attractive and sturdy.

"Stressed" sounds just about right; no more water than absolutely needed. Would the lefty-rag Guardian prefer unstressed urban water use by maladroit febs, felons, fools and freaks bathing nightly in roof-hi fire-hydrant flow ? Urban water use beyond the absolute minimum wastes reserves. That flow better left to forest drainage, productive farmers, brook trout and nature-trail framing.

It was. You don't see the problem ? Then YOU are the issue. Probably you thieve music and plagiarize others text for your own reports. Of-course you don't see the issue, being a 2-bit thief yourself. Bet you take unauthorized photos of random walkers with your "smart-glasses". Don't be surprised ... and noone will be sad ... if one of your IP/privacy victims OUTS you with a "terminal" action.

"Medicated" tumor growth is not a unique phenomena. It's kinda like cigarettes. If you have "weak genes" then your cancer-risk at age-55 from smoking tuple-filtered "lights" is high. If not then 2-PK/day Camel-Straight smokers die from choking on a pint of Cobbs Creek at 120 YO.

The *.ai industry tries hard to make Ai-products the ONLY source of information. But, because of legacy IP, hallucinations and pedantry *.ai cannot FIRST become the gold standard of information. Human generated alpha-numeric text-strings are still the most robust descriptors/predictors/interpreters of behavior, physical or human. As we see now, only path forward for AI-companies is fraud or legal violence.

Very bad-faith reply. Roof over your head is different than mobile pron access. Then again as time passes your "hardware" house goes UP in real value, but a smartphone decreases rapidly in value ... like a car. And finally, for those true-Scotsman who actually can afford buying a house, the tax-relief on interest payments is a BIG DEAL. No such tax-relief exists for cells. So ... your argument really sucks collectivist dikk.

You say lots in a few words, and correctly frame recent USA history. Biden did it, Clinton did it, Bush(s) did it .... Trump allows it. USA gov [ nominally that's citizenry ] takes on financial risk while banks and auto companies and data-aggregators live fat. My paleo-(re)publican values are sorely tested by nominally traitorous behavior of American merchantilists. Where is Sulla ( or Perot ) when we really need him ?

Adoption models of evolution are so 19-th century. Current theory hold genetic drift and macro-happenstance ( like volcanoes/asteroids etc ) drive evolution. Current allele structures (species ) are neither the fittest nor trending fitter. Of-course hyper-dense populations act different.
