If they weren't ripping people of with every purchase there would no need for a "discount". I was the "guy" who was forced to replace our really nice Commodore Pet computers with that crApple BS in HS. Apple never did anything for the schools that they didn't get paid for. Their software SUCKS, their networking SUCKS. In an effort to be "cool" and trendy apple has made supporting their stuff annoying time consuming.
GM's future is so dull that they sold their shades. A company that has no future needs very few employees. If the US allowed Chinese imports the US companies would be gone already.
Since when did product longevity matter?
Since when did employees matter?
I'm amused at how petty that billionaire's make-money-fa$t schemes are. Selling steaks? Tennis shoes? Bibles?
What other billionaire does this to get richer?
The number "10" is highly suspicious in this context.
Now it's just a couple.
Ah, binary.
Yeah, in our money-obssessed world "ethics" is opt-in for businesses.
for us to just forget him.
You're free to make up your own definitions for words, but it makes communication difficult.
BTW, does Wotan exist? Do you "not believe he does" or "believe he doesn't" ?
And what do you call your position?
Anyone expecting corporations to not try to make a profit and extract maximum value for their shareholders ignore that that's their fiduciary duty.
Fortunately they're exempt from any ethical duty.
atheism is the affirmative belief there is no deity
Monotheism is the affirmative belief that there is no deity but yours.
Atheism means not believing in any gods.
All computation is mechanical at its core
What about studies that indicate the possibility of quantum effects within the brain?
I'm going to venture way out on a skinny limb and suggest that all mechanical processes are subject to quantum effects.
You think migration is bad now, wait until "undesirable" people start mass migrating from unlivable areas.
It may go the opposite direction. If current water & agricultral "haves" become "have-nots" and vice versa due to changes in weather there will be endless wars as the "haves" try to maintain their position.
Sorry. Trump said you need to use coal
For cars?
When people tout nuclear, I tell them that China has already ignored that idea to have only 3 plants, stamped out: they are building ALL the designs, in hopes to sell to anybody despite NIH syndrome in every nuclear regulator. So if China can make it work with their thumb on the scales, if it isn't lies about some plants coming in at $4.50/watt, then we can follow their lead.
In the meantime, my original comment springs from the MIT study that you could come "close enough" to baseload emulation with $20/kWh CAPEX for batteries...and while we watch China build reactors for 5 more years, we may watch another part of China get below $30/kWh...and the game is on.
I'm afraid my money is on the batteries, after 50 years of nuclear cheerleading.
