Thats a good reason why it's banned. China cannot sell. TikTok is under the strong control of their government, and so won't sell despite loosing an stupefying amount of revenue by doing so.

TikTok was specifically banned because of one main reason. When it was being discussed in congress, they told their users to complain to their congresspeople, and posted their congresspersons number. Then when a bunch of unhinged teens call

just think a tiny bit about why that would be a bad idea

Chinese ships LITERALLY just cut 3 undersea cables in US allied countries to mess with us.

They can if they choose to do so. Its not trademark law, just because a government doesnt do something doesnt mean it cannot do something

The cost of labor is extremely high in the US compared to Bangladesh, and that along with building standards, minimum lot size, minimum floor space requirements and required low density zoning (lmao) make these two case very different

That's the idea in the article. Just one big chip. But the reason why it's normally done is that there is a pretty high defect rate, so cutting if every wafer has 1-2 defects you still get (X-1.5) devices per wafer. In the article

I'm pretty sure this is extremely fast for the nuclear industry.

I watched many of his videos. They're pretty good. I dont understand the complaints of click bait. One of the main reasons why he works so well is he makes outlandish premises that seem like clickbait, and then delivers. If he claims t

The risk of fire has clearly massively increased thanks to climate change. California's rules literally dont allow them to charge prices that account for this. California has an insurance plan of last resort that is now billions underw

The delta does not matter to the consumer. They might pay <5% more, hardly a dent in demand would follow. The producer has a small profit margin so it does matter for them, since production and logistics cost a lot.

Compare this to California regulating how much insurance companies can charge. IN that case, its lead to horrendous side effects where insurance companies are leaving the state, dropping customers, etc because they will literally lose money

You very easily can see this happen if you mess up your configuration.

My understanding is that double and triple panes are an attempt to mitigate this.

I think its fair enough to not build it here, but everywhere there will be arguments made against all projects so it can get old fast

They also get reduced time. Considering the program is extremely sought after, I think it should continue in light of the fact that its literally what they prefer compared to not doing anything

It's one of the most sought after opportunities in prison. And the state can't afford to pay them fully. Considering they want to do it, and the state already pays a huge amount to house prisoners, its not that insane

To be clear, fighting fires is done by prisoners who volunteer and my understanding is that it is highly sought after

This is not the right calculation. Housing units per household makes more sense, as the number of people per housing unit has been shrinking since we started collecting data as peoples preferences change. From what I can tell it peaked in 2

Many cities effectively ban or heavily restrict new housing developments that increase density. I'm really not surprised real estate prices continue to rise when building new units is often an extremely expensive, risky process that in

Thats because it lost money. It paid all its profit to the treasury, which was less than zero as raising rates causes it to loose its income

I thought Microsoft has also been aggressive in pushing login using a Microsoft account.

Yeah I feel like often it's the complete opposite. For example at the start of the industrial revolution engines were invented to pump water out of deep coal mines because even with the first engines horrendous inefficiency at the bott

Its definitely local regulations. In SF for example, even after a housing project is approved, it can be challenged at any point for any reason by the community or politicians. Even projects that meet all regulations can be rejected for any

This reminds me of the saying "one must imagine sisyphus happy". Humans can be very happy working towards something. Not having a goal is an existential problem because we have no true purpose.

The thing is Bejing undercuts this completly by allowing local governments to perform rampant shakedown of investors and ceos through disappearances for bogus charges, even in other provinces.

Clearly people want to move into cities. The increased prices of housing makes that beyond clear, to deny it is to deny basic economics. Thus why shouldn't we build housing where people show with their money that they want to live? Its
