Surprised I don’t see footgun. That’s as common as load bearing in my interactions.

This is a false equivalence. Adding carbon credits the U.S. is close to 20 billion in EV subsidies. The ENTIRE EU spent 125 billion. China supplied 250 billion to a 400 billion dollar industry and is facing overproduction. It’s dishonest to

China is nowhere near “free market”. Their EV sector received more government subsidies in the last 15 years than the entire U.S. automobile market since inception. The total subsidies make up half of the market cap of their entire EV indus

Being verbose, convoluted, and obscure does not make you intelligent nor more literate. Often it’s exactly the opposite. True intelligence and literacy is being able to communicate effectively and to a broad audience in the simplest terms p

The only thing different from this list is the ceramic separator. It’s not polymer. However, the ceramic is ultra thin to the point that it’s flexible so volume expansion isn’t a problem and it solves the dendrite problem. Perhaps a polymer

Ah yes, the old - it’s too complex to understand by outsiders argument. And claims of racism to boot. Taiwan is Chinese, they don’t have this system. So spare me the crocodile tears. Single party rule and state controlled media with one of

Correct, so long as there is a state controlled media and no independent media and we can only speculate on where people who have “disappeared” from public view are, this is exactly the position everyone should hold. This is single party au

This is just Chinese propaganda and you’ve swallowed it while. China is undergoing a massive recession and they haven’t protected citizens. They won’t let citizens be refunded or cancels their mortgages bankrupting them. They are shoveling

Again, the govt was responsible for pushing this framework in the chase for gdp growth. They’ve paid for it now. They’re deep in a recession with signs it may be a 1990’s style Japanification.

Nope they didn’t. They refuse to let citizens cancel the mortgages even though developers haven’t delivered condos for years and they haven’t bailed out the little folk. Moreover China’s govt was the cause of this by setting gdp growth quot

Not at all what’s happening. China’s government privatized real estate and was the engine of the bubble by disallowing localities from taxing and only allowing revenues via land sales. See above how central planning in the CCP has forced ma

China is undergoing a 2008 style financial crisis due to real estate speculation and deflation due to very weak domestic spending. They have drowned their municipalities in debt cumulatively equivalent to the US federal and state debt as a

There is some weird obsession on the internet about proving the U.S. is the worst at everything. Believe me, the majority of “The rest of the world” does not protect its citizens from harmful food contamination.

Inflation adjusted 10 year cumulative return is ~192, no matter how much you don't understand how math works. You don't re-apply inflation onto the principal.

Home ownership is not the definition of economic class. The s&p has vastly outstripped inflation, this isn’t even an argument. It’s a very bizarre and uninformed opinion to say “inflation is correlated with s&p value”. In economics,

Is it ironic? Or did you just read the comment incorrectly?

by dirck-norman 4mo ago
Feelings aren’t fact. A lot of data shows the doomerism is not reflected in the actual numbers and much of it has to do with rapid inflation and continued vibes. Consumption has risen, inflation adjusted wages have risen for blue collar and

NYC was built without alleyways and much of NYC is single vaulted sewer systems due to its age. There is no space to put underground trash bins. NYC is also non-uniform, so there are different types of trucks and streets. Adam's admin

Only someone trying to silence any dissent to their position would use platitudes like this rather than addressing why the OP mentioned antisemitism out of nowhere.

It’s very clear that comment is agent provocateurs trying to sow discord. They have a lot of comments about “the west”.

I’ve seen minimal gains trying to adopt agents into my workflow beyond tests and explanations. It tends to be distracting. It’s so interesting that engineers will criticize context switching, only to adopt it into their technical workflows
