You conveniently failed to mention the Gaza Strip and the occupied territories where the people have no vote and no rights. So it is a democracy for some and a despotic regime for others. Frankly both these states are acting out of self int

This reminds me of dropout where the neural network won’t be dependent on a specific connection. Instead, it will be statistical which will actually be a good fit for this approach. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilutio

If coal has that effect, then it is a plus for coal. But there are other sources of power that do have that effect: any form of stored energy, nuclear, geothermal, etc... Also note that you can pair energy storage with renewables. It may ev

The nonpartisan approach would be a carbon tax along with paying higher prices for energy that provides guarantees that it won’t be interrupted during a cold spell. Then the research should center on how high the carbon tax should be and ho

Why stop at websites? Why shouldn't airlines, hotels, banks, apartments, stores, and private universities ban whoever they like? How about creating a rule banning people who dye their hair blue?

IT departments at universities are generally not bastions of competence. This was exacerbated by private sector compensation greatly exceeding compensation at universities the last twenty years. You really do not want to know what passes fo

We have weaponized identity politics to get what we want: toxic masculinity vs white supremacist thinking. The clear trend in this arms race is to tick off more and more boxes.

Hong Kong companies have better brand reputations than Chinese companies but gradually there are more Chinese brands gaining better reputations. I would expect this to continue. In fact, there are probably a few brands that are Chinese that

The 1 child policy is probably a big issue but IP theft is partly how the US industrialized. The textile mills of the North that kicked off industrialization in the US was based off of IP stolen from Britain. In fact, many of the practices

Low gas prices in the US. Small cars became very popular in the late 70’s and early 80’s in the US due to gas shortages. They gradually died out as gas prices came back down. Go look at car sizes in the 1950’s and 1960’s in the US. Compare

False. The outbreaks did not coincide with those protests with guns. Would you blame the BLM protests which were far larger? The last and largest outbreak based on cases seemed to coincide with the holidays. Perhaps you should blame Dr. Fau

The collapse of that company is old news. See https://youtu.be/OZSvDYDfd78 by Asianometry. He also provides far more context. Published October 2020.

1993? Friction stir welding was invented in 1991. Full flow staged combustion was tried out in the 1960s. GPS was available 1993. Not sure how much computing power it needs. SpaceX was founded in 2002.

I also consider Mountain View on south to be part of the South Bay but Wikipedia doesn’t. Most SF Bay natives also draw the line the way I draw it but it doesn’t matter much. The distinction people I know made is how far south or north peop

So go add focus on those towns as well or go limit it to mid Peninsula.

The paragraph specified the Peninsula. None of the cities you mentioned are even on the Peninsula. San Jose, Fremont, Mountain View, Oakland. None of them are in the Peninsula. You may be right about those cities that you mentioned but my s

I have been buying GSG for the last few weeks as a hedge. Beyond transient effects of COVID-19, more chaotic weather due to climate change seems to be wreaking havoc. Beyond that, our economy seems to be increasingly reliant of raw material

It’s amazing to me that the EU behaves a lot like the US in this regard. Same with Australia. I had no idea.

You don’t have to believe me. Go check out videos on YouTube. Use your own eyes. https://youtu.be/1tv0FjfGbUs https://youtu.be/HmOIQv0yu-U Now search for other cities in the Bay. Go see what you find.

It may be worse in Mountain View or San Jose, I don’t know. It doesn’t seem worse in Fremont, at least the parts that I go to. Also, my relatives and friends who live there aren’t complaining. My friends who lived in SF were complaining lou
