It saddens me that we’re here dealing with a push for obsolete, untenable solutions, and all the while, China keeps solving your “impossible issues” on the daily:

AI post? The reply doesn’t even make sense.

You could, but with that colossal amount of resources you could have built 12x in renewables, probably more because of economy of scale.

And if you decide to commit all those resources to renewables, you probably just created a booming local industry of well paying jobs.

And in those 6 years, you could have built over 6x that capacity in renewables, easy.

That’s a lot of text, and yet, solving all of that is easier, faster and less expensive than nuclear.

I’ve considered it, some renewables installation jobs I’ve seen are extremely well paid.

Wow, you totally misunderstood the whole issue?

The point of China subsidizing their industry and their universities isn’t so that their people can “buy a new car every year or two” because they’re cheap.

It’s because that way they progress their technology and manufacturing infrastructure so much that no one else can compete. They chase everyone else out of the market, while their companies pull in massive profits and keep the high paying jobs for their citizens.

Well paid workers can buy their own housing without government assistance, but what happened to all those tax benefits the US gov handed out for EVs? They catapulted Musk’s wealth, while the workers are nowhere closer to affording an EV, or a home, or even healthcare.

I don’t know if this is a criminal charge, but if it is, then this is the answer right here.

A couple of months behind bars would be a brutal wake up call to billionaires that money can’t buy everything.

Of course they’d just double down on buying more politicians and judges.

Gotta appreciate the level of commitment on this commit…

So let me boil down the list of arguments in your refutation:

• Assert a belief about wrongness.
• Assert a belief about lack of knowledge
• Disregard provided proof contrary to own beliefs
• Present zero proof supporting own belief
• Expletive

Masterfully done, you should run for president. Moron.

I always use /all, out of curiosity what’s your issue with it? I have nsfw hidden, and have been having a good time.

I’m sure they can be re-educated as well as any other minority… (/s but not really)

I unplugged the bassist and people went to buy the album.

Im using Firefox because fuck Google’s monopoly, but Firefox seems to care little for some stuff I think is critical, namely AV codec support. Lack of out of the box support for HEVC and a few others, which my underlying OS supports perfectly, is a big turn off.

May be time to give Opera a spin

Great, as soon as you have that working we’ll just make it useless in Ubuntu and rebundle everything plus their mothers in a snap

I can’t follow your reasoning. If companies cannot own houses, how do you propose this shell-ownership would work? Wouldn’t the owner just be free to sell the house at any time and pocket the cash for themselves?

As for tax evasion by foreigners that own real estate, I mean how is that even a problem? There’s millions of foreigners that do business in the US everyday, plus, these ones have actual immovable assets that can be seized…

Sounds perfect, do it. I wanna see your income statement when you own 20 apartments.

Definitely then the issue lies with click to subscribe, and not with click to cancel.

If the customer is insufficiently informed of any penalties for cancelling, then he shouldn’t have been allowed to subscribe in the first place.

The secret here is to come up with a business case that shows management what an incredible ROI they should expect from this initiative.

Then you get to play with robots for a few months instead of actually working!

Yeah I occasionally run into that block that blames GDPR too, and it makes me wonder just what in hell they want to do with user data…

It’s not hard to comply with GDPR, unless you’re a shady scumbag, in which case, thanks for the warning I guess.
