I very much doubt China is going to let their citizens freely use AI for hacking. In fact they keep a very tight leash on corporations and their employees.

Canada could have asked the Chinese to build oil terminals, pipelines and refineries. Not one drop of oil would have crossed the border. Instead Canada chose to bind itself to the US.

Europe-China trade has already overtaken the US. If only you knew how bad things really are... As for hegemony? Well the Chinese actually don't want to be world police.

If it makes you feel better it is the same deal on the other side of the Atlantic. The way I see it military and civilian shipbuilding always went hand in hand. And basically all ships nowadays are built in Asia- except for some boutique lu

I disagree the inbuilt Netflix app is way better than any streaming box. Apple TV serves ads (it's literally called Apple for fuck sake), costs money and extra electricity.

I recently learned that after WW2 it was not only the Americans and Soviets who were recruiting ex Nazis. Argentina was looking to scoop up scientists and engineers.

Sony is just handling this stupidly. What they should do is just stay silent and stay the course. Everyone fucking knows in 10 years time physical media will be dead and all of this is water under the bridge.

Nexus also sells a subscription service. Running a website of this magnitude costs money and I don't expect people to keep paying out of pocket forever. It is nice as long as it lasts.

Unfortunately letting random companies photocopy your passport leads to identify fraud.

At least when China does it they come up with elaborate historical documents. This is just sad.

Steve Jobs was a business man and CEO of a company. Judge the man on what he was. And he was those things brilliantly.

Well the definition of science is that it can change when new data is found- that's why it is not a religion. Our understanding of the universe is after all quite rudimentary. How many centuries did people fantasise about forests on Ve

Amazon heavily subsidises the Kindle calculating they can make the money back with selling books. That's why you can get one for 70 euro.

After WW2 the Dutch railway system was in such a bad state that it had to be completely rebuilt. This was a blessing because they could electrify the network in one go without annoying questions regarding budgets. Destruction breeds creatio

US politicians are all millionaires with excellent resumes. They have literally no excuse to be this cowardly. They will still be alive and rich if they go against Trump.

The local sherrif stalks you for the Mormon church and all your data is sold to Google. In my country you know they only track you to find pedos and terrorists.

I remember when Uber was cheap. Then they weren't and people went back to walking and cycling. Americans wouldn't get it.

Wait I thought the US was a free market economy? The government doesn't import anything that's what supermarkets do.

The vast majority of people don't work in tech they have real jobs just trying to survive and feed their families. They don't have time for cult nonsense.

Corruption has been part of the game since forever. One of the most infamous world cups was in Argentina during a brutal dictatorship. The one who threw people out of airplanes and took babies from pregnant women.

The problem is that Hollywood writers are extremely arrogant and refuse to simply adapt the videogame script that millions of people love. They have to prove that they are better- after all despite being a huge industry they still look down

For a few hundred years European archaeologist Indiana Jones types visited every remote corner of Asia ironically disproving Euro centrism and the Bible in the true spirit of scientific enlightenment and writing much of Chinese history (als
