China said yes to all those things for Western money. They could've said no, they could've put in restrictions to lower their profits and improve conditions. Don't act like China is some poor puppy bullied around by the West.

The purpose of this is to absolve China of any and all responsibility, and put maximum blame with the West. Apparently the West is in complete control of China.

'Mother' Gaia will wipe all complex life from this planet with 1 to 1.5 Billion years if her 'undisciplined' puppies don't find a way to leave this ball of dirt. She's also got quite a lead with killing off 99.

You need focus and direction in any media. Books, movies, games, etc.... they all need it. The first NPC that you encounter with such freedom of interaction is interesting, the 45th will be annoying and you'll just want to get to the p

It can also easily mean they were willing on taking risks, like using unproven techniques, skirt close to minimum safety requirements or even ignore certain rules, just so it would look prettier.

This has little to do with "how toxic our culture is", but more "how social media is engineered to enable toxicity". We see the problems with large scale social media in every culture, and the issues are the same everywh

The only way that I can see that happening is when the price would drop significantly enough so homeless people would prefer it over black-market dealers. Keep in mind that there are a lot of legal practices, or legally obtainable things, t

I heavily disagree with that. Most legally available drugs are already out of reach for most of the homeless people (even more so in the US). These people are primarily defined by their financial status, if nothing else.

A poor statement gets a poor response. Start looking at the head of this comment thread before you choose to chide me. And there is nothing snarky about this. We've seen this exact scenario happen recently in certain areas of the US (e

Good, so let's do that first before making an already terribly exploitative system even worse.

Yes, and you should look up what happens when they need to compete for resources, or stray in each other's territory.

It probably takes Amazon of 2023 about an hour (after taxes) to pay this off.

There are numerous tokens that people hold on to even to this day, especially if it's a token symbolizing 'coming of age'.

They'll be crying on the same bench as the 'one line of code' people, when they're required to finetune their code.

Congrats, you used design patterns.

A lot of things deemed 'unrecyclable' actually are. It's just that it's usually not worth it.

This is what you get when all you talk about it the positives, especially to new programmers or students. It's not about the why, but only if you do or do not. I'll die on this hill, but DDD can be put right up there with microser

The only one arguing in bad faith is you, along with the cookie-cutter propaganda that you consume without further thought. You're allowed to your own opinions and discuss them, but what you're doing is just regurgitating an opini

Why would you be against eating animals products? Many produce them naturally themselves. For example, chickens lay eggs if we want them to or not. If humans don't take the eggs, chickens would eat them themselves or leave them to rot.

I doubt you've seen industrial slaughterhouse videos that aren't meant to sensationalize. I've even walked around in some, where all rules and guidelines are followed, and I can still eat meat just fine. The animals don'

The difference becomes important though when deciding where the line of 'torture' or 'barbarism' starts or ends. If you'd ask certain people, the act of castrating lambs with bands is barbaric. I brought up neurodiv

I've lived around animals all my file, even my SO grew up on a farm. Why on earth do you (or anyone) think they experience thoughts, emotions and relationships in a human way? Simply because we have similarities does not equate that an

Outrage sells. While some might include pre-covid statistics, the vast majority won't.

This is a issue with how most potential solutions or languages are marketed, even to experienced developers. They're all sold as silver bullets and every experienced programmer should know that there is no such thing. A lot of it also

I had a similar issue, problem was a problematic WiFi-router. I got clued in when other devices were having sporadic disconnects once in a blue moon. Turned out that (unlike the brother) they also lost connection but managed to usually auto

Not to go into too much detail, since my SO that worked on the project might otherwise get into trouble, but some of their cost saving measures simply turned out for the worse. Several core components of the reactor had to be entirely remov
