Absolutely, but there don’t have to be human rights violations in order for a country with lower costs of living to be a more attractive host for manufacturing than one with a higher cost of living.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on almost every point and a couple you haven't mentioned. > greatest blue collared jobs/ communities destroyers in Italy, France, Spain, UK, US, Japan But isn't this just the nature of globa

Very well put! I'll add that dismissing things early tends to act as a roadblock to further creative pathways. It's almost exactly why you don't shoot down ideas while brainstorming; it kills the environment of creativity the

I think you and the parent post are looking at two angles of the same object. The societal pressures that would incentivize masculine names are the same ones that would encourage teasing of a boy with a "girl's name."

IANAL, but it is already illegal to: - Shoot guns within city limits - Damage property - Steal A more grey area might be what you're obligated to do if it lands/crashes in your back yard.

I think the quality is a side effect of the real problem with fast fashion: Implied disposability.

I wonder if this reddit comment was on to something: https://www.reddit.com/r/CannabisExtracts/comments/b1w76g/tr... Some background information: - Cannabis, particularly THC, extracts are quite viscous

Could you elaborate more on why you think China is being a bully, as opposed to responding to a trade war they didn’t start? Or why you think they don’t realize the nature of their relationship with the US?

What evolutionary advantage would plants have to be healthy for humans when eaten as a whole food? Even agriculture, the start of which is a mere blip on an evolutionary time scale, would be enough to destroy any symbiotic relationship (whi

This is true. However, the build quality is abysmal. Plastic pieces have come unglued and buttons are faulty on both my fiancée's pair and mine. I don't think I can recommend the SoundSports as much as the QC35s.

Yeah, he should set up in the good ol' US of A, where kids are never separated from their parents when their parents are seized for dubious reasons and ethnic groups are never targeted for placement in `extraordinary rendition` camps.

I like that idea, but I suspect the big stuff is actually pretty easy to recycle. It's the little bits of plastic and paper that are a problem to sort.

4 laps at what could be a leisurely pace hardly qualifies as competitive swimming.

Genuinely curious: As far as you know, are the projects synergistic, or do the Chinese offer lopsided/predatory deals?

As hopeful and excited as I am for Ethiopia, the cynical part of me can't help but see the relationship as less cooperation and more exploitation.

The ones that cooperate with state-sanctioned censorship? Malaysia blocks anti-government news sites via ISP DNS entries; using a 3rd party DNS bypasses the block easily. Accusing government officials of mismanagement or outright theft of p

I always assumed the requirement was forced by MPAA or its equivalent bodies. I don't see what benefit Netflix could gain by forcing one browser or another, but this sort of nonsense is pretty consistent with what the DRM-happy, piracy

Looks like what casinos do when they throw cards away so they can't be scavenged and used for play.

I believe the Chinese buy these types of imported goods (if not all imported goods in general) because of a perception that they are of a certain level of quality. The "disruption" would not be copying an innovation so much as bui

I think they're both equally culpable; the customer for making pricing a race to the bottom and the service provider for choosing to play said game. The customer could choose to consider the treatment of the workers a priority in sel
