The justice system isn't perfect and you can't roll back dying
The justice system isn't perfect and you can't roll back dying
Fuck off. Your inconvenience is not worth more than their livelihoods.
China did to EVs what the US did to semiconductors.
The US and EU markets lack competition.
Impressive if they can get a stronghold there.
Like 90% of the under-20 market...
TSMC about to hold the largest allocation of H1B visas given to a single company in US history.
Your number is a bit off. It's more around 569000 per person.
Why would you believe this? The talent is specialized and most of them are already employed by the few dominant market players.
Because FPTP is a farce of a system, so building a farce on a farce doesn't really increase the farce-ness very much?
Bullshit. Adequate mass transportation is competitive with a car. You don't even have to leave North America to see an "adequate" mass transportation system: just go to Montreal, Vancouver, or New York.
Most US cities have mass transportation that's designed to move around poor people so rich people in cars can't see them.
Think of all the profits you're delivering to shareholders!
Shit country, great pay in a few fields.
If you're skilled labour and not a software engineer, just move to Canada tbh.
Macron was right, but being right is extremely expensive. Meanwhile, the EU's dependence on F-35s for defence isn't too great given the well-known issues with F-35 maintenance and the need for US private contractors in the maintenance loop.
People have been far more concerned about the efficacy of the ALPS system at extracting other contaminants than they are about tritium contamination. The ALPS system is unproven and the wastewater they're releasing would be pretty toxic as far as other radioactive isotopes is concerned if the ALPS system isn't doing it's job perfectly.
Fuck that. Requiring trains to be built in the US will blow up the already obscene budget even more and lead to poor-quality trains due to a lack of experience in high speed trainset manufacturing.
We saw this in Boston, where the requirement of US-made led to absolutely fucked supply chains, constant delays and cost overruns, and shoddily constructed trains with a multitude of problems (though, admittedly, the entire Boston transit system has these problems anyway so I guess it's just another part of government dysfunction). For what? For a voting bloc of like a thousand temporary workers?
Thing is, the US doesn't really have high speed rail in the pipeline that can share technical expertise. The proposed Texas line is planning to use Shinkansen trains, Brightline already has a supplier, and so does Amtrak. Where are you going to get economies of scale to come into play?
It's also a fucking California state project, and California is the safest blue state that ever blued.
Weren't jet engines developed by the Germans to kill the Allies?
Indeed, prior to European settlement it was extremely rural.
America, the land of the free.
The government is limited in monetary policy by inflation.
Of course, the Petrodollar doesn't really have this problem, but it ends up exporting inflation around the world.
Basically, military service for 16/17yos? I'm against it, but it's honestly not that crazy given that Singapore, the US, and Germany allow military service at 17 with parental consent. Canada also allows people to join Military Colleges at 16. It's unclear how parental consent will play into this in Russia.
Trains in California suck because of government dysfunction across all levels. At the municipal level, you can't build shit because every city is actually an agglomeration of hundreds of tiny municipalities that all squabble with each other. At the regional level, you get NIMBYism that doesn't want silly things like trains knocking down property values... And these people have a voice, because democracy I guess (despite there being a far larger group of people that would love to have trains). At the state level, you have complete funding mismanagement and project management malfeasance that makes projects both incredibly expensive and developed with no forethought whatsoever (Caltrain has how many at-grade crossings, again?).
This isn't a train problem, it's a problem with your piss-poor government. At least crime is down, right?
Stopping climate change by...
Removing fossil fuels from the grid? Reducing methane leakage in natural gas transmission? Developing domestic nuclear energy?
Maybe reducing car-dependency to make more efficient use of land and reduce the excessive amounts of taxpayer money being dumped to subsidize suburban development? Reducing inefficient flights between close cities (LAX-SFO, BOS-JFK-DCA)? Building more efficient buildings?
How about taking advantage of the already insanely efficient supply chains in China that allow for the development of sub-10k EVs? Helping those companies launch in the US and bring their expertise with them to accelerate the EV transition like China has?
Nah, let's just give some more money to a few big EV manufacturers, I'm sure that'll fix everything.
Humans don't drive on sight alone.
Tepco is a private enterprise, isn't it?
Wouldn't be the first time a private company fucked people over for profit.
Since the article didn't link the report, I have it attached here: https://transparency.fb.com/integrity-reports-q2-2023/
As we always should do with these reports, let's question the source:
The lead author is Ben Nimmo, a senior fellow for Atlantic Council. According to testimony, "the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, and [others] all have inadequately-disclosed ties to the Department of Defense, the C.I.A., and other intelligence agencies. They work with multiple U.S. government agencies to institutionalize censorship research and advocacy within dozens of other universities and think tanks." According to this internal CIA memo (accessible via FOIA), Atlantic Council fellows are almost all controlled by various US intelligence agencies and report to the director of the CIA.
Ben Nimmo's track record of identifying state-sponsored misinformation is spotty at best. A few years ago, the DFR wrote a hit piece that implicated Ian Shilling (a British retiree) as a Russian bot disinformation account. This led to the takedown of his account by Twitter... Which was rolled back soon after after he went to the news... He was then suspended under X, so go him I guess.
Looking at the authors, we have Ben Nimmo (discussed above), Mike Torrey (previous NSA and CIA analyst), Margarita Franklin (has conspicuous 3 year gap between her masters graduation and her first job, quickly rising to the role of Director... which could be a coincidence), David Agranovich (ex-DOD, ex-National Security Council), and Margie Milam/Lindsay Hundley/Robert Claim (for all intents and purposes legitimate people focusing on IP and DNS). Given the large number of actual, non-government-affiliated cybersecurity researchers, the prevalence of ex-US intelligence on this report is rather startling.
Overall, there's a stronger claim for this report being US propaganda (as shown above) than there is for some barely-intelligible sentences that look like they were written literally by idiots being Chinese propaganda... But who knows, maybe they're both propaganda?
Associate with friends that also have good grades. You tend to take on the habits of your friends.
neoliberalism in a nutshell
You live in a democracy lol
You make it sound like you're in an authoritarian state
This is the only way to remain competitive when the US' largest rivals are able to tap state funding for research.
You don't see the military applications of large-scale supersonic flight?
The question isn't about managing, but about convenience. In some cities, public transportation is more convenient than going out and getting a car and dealing with parking and all that noise. That should be the goal, not "it's manageable."
Russia's military budget in 2019 was $65 billion. It's a waste of money that's only practical because the US is literally swimming in taxpayer money (mostly because the US doesn't invest in itself, but that's another issue).
I don't think it's fair to criticize his usage of employees... He's operating a media company and all of his upgrades are essentially glorified media operations. Everyone on camera is a media personality playing a role.
The point isn't to get cable installed, it's to have an engaging personality on camera doing something interesting. Getting cable installed is a happy coincidence.
It literally is.
Taiwan literally had a government intervention to launch TSMCcand developed their university system around TSMC being the crown jewel of employment, while the US has had dysfunctional support for anything STEM that succeeds in spite of itself.
Sounds like she got witch-hunted tbh. Management was unhappy with Linus hiring her without going through the proper channels and pushed her out.
Loans are costs too. It's tying up capital that could be used elsewhere
Have you ever wondered why the US has so many school shooters?
You'd think they would at least cite the report from Meta... RollingStone is back at it with their top tier journalism.
Is the Saudi royal family's emissions offset by planting 10 billion trees?
All Ukraine said is that Russia deployed 15000 men to Bakhmut and that Ukraine fighting in Bakhmut keeps them from being redeployed to the Zaporizhzhia front... Sensationalist titles, much?
