US benefitted significantly from being the only major power that didn't have its labor pool and industrial base crippled by WWII.

Fun fact. They banned r/fatpeoplehate over a year before banning explicitly racist subreddits like r/coontown. Really shows where their priorities are.

That's not quite true. From googling really quick, Ford sold 726k F-150s. In that same year, Tesla sold 936k cars. If you're comparing the number of cars Ford sold last year, you'd be closer but still incorrect by a few thous

The question isn't about why he's not deified by the left. It's why is he treated as a boogeyman, which granted, isn't surprising given his behavior. But I suppose there is a point as to why he's disliked more than

24/7 isn't true at all. People keep repeating this like it's 2020. There's an ongoing energy crisis that started in 2021. Low wind speeds across all of Europe were a massive trigger.

The process takes much longer due to political issues not technical ones. The ongoing price crunch and energy sanctions have allowed Finland to speed up the process. The same thing happened with vaccine production and COVID. Normally, vacci

Except when the North Sea wind was weaker than usual in 2021, triggering an energy crisis that has persisted to this day. This impacted almost the entirety of Europe and led to a spike in gas prices, since, surprise, all the backup plants r

I think the point is that the only way to reduce crypto profitability is to impose a soft limit on electricity by massively increase the cost of electricity if you exceed a certain allotment. Otherwise, there's no real way to tell if s

Remote learning makes these gaps wider. Yes, they already exist. But making things worse for minorities isn't the solution imo. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/covid-19-has-left-milli...

How you spend your time is fine. Most people lack the expertise to maintain a solar panel. This becomes an issue when you die or sell your house and the new owners don't know anything about maintaining solar roofing. Over time, this wi

Places can be built like SF, but they won't have the same access to the same opportunities. People don't realize that a lot of inequality is driven by where you live or are forced to live. SF needs more affordable housing. It need

Don't think Turkish drones are war profiteering considering how much utility they've had in the current war and in the Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict. Maybe you're not aware, but Ukraine has been dealing with war since 2014. Th

Who thinks that? I've never heard this. People thought Watson was a lot more capable than it actually was just because of the Jeopardy PR stunt. People outside tech were buzzing about IBM and Watson. In my experience, people outside te

I'm not sure this is true. Anecdotally, across three Fortune 500 tech companies I've worked at, designers / web devs / program managers had Macbooks (or had the option of choosing Macbooks) even when the team was develop

I strongly disagree. Two of the major flaws of pre-Nadella Microsoft were arrogance and complacency.

The system is fine. What if we applied this logic to elections? Just get rid of them altogether since they're prone to brigading. There's plenty of clickbait videos that have horrible like to dislike ratios and you can save yourse

Without the like vs dislike ratio, I'm less likely to use Youtube. I'm already using Bing and Google to search for videos b/c they absolutely botched their search experience.

This didn't age well lol. Macron just announced they're going up build more nuclear reactors to meet their emissions targets.

Lol that didn't age well. France just announced they're building new reactors to meet their emissions targets.

Does France not exist? Also Japan is already restarting its nuclear reactors because their projected emissions targets are impossible to hit without restarting the plants.

Intel's numbers are theoretical. They're still relying heavily on multi patterning for their current chips. They have yet to demonstrate competency with EUV. Intel 4 is also projected for 2023. Tsmc are producing 5nm chips right n

And yet France still has half the CO2 emissions per capita of Germany and significantly cheaper energy.

The counterfactual is right next door. France has half the emissions per capita of Germany since it primarily relies on nuclear power.
