I actually don't think it's quite that simple either. In total war, that might be right, but I think any opposing non-democratic power only needs to maintain a force/budget large enough to cause enough damage that will lead t

So, what you're saying is, it's like starcraft, and he who mines more minerals wins.

Oh, I know they use such compounds, but I meant more like the history of the idea forming in the 19th/20th century, and China moving towards the Japanese model of doing so as the commenter claimed.

I would love to read the history about that. Got any sources/references?

I actually thought his article was pretty terrible. It's a fun, casual read for a rant, but I wouldn't hold it as much evidence of anything. "If you don't believe this, just ask a Chinese person. Most Chinese people will

I actually think it's very inline with their thinking. Apple has always (since Jobs came back anyway) focused on being smart/choosy about their product lineup, but IMO they chase good design, not what's new. If the two happen

Yes, definitely a contender for most ridiculous thing heard. Edit: Sorry, "ever" heard.

Someone higher up (presumably) has already reversed the decision.

Wow, really just throwing those words around, huh? Luxury, closure enough, compulsive over-expression. But if this isn't a troll comment, a simple first pass analysis would lead you to something similar to 001sky's conclusion.

Exactly, this is basically a physical manifestation of what google already does with your online presence.

I think that was covered by "we have varying levels of problems with them as a company." But way to cherry pick.

Definitely. Misogyny is thrown around so much now that it's getting a bit absurd. She made a quip about push up bras => MISOGYNY! If I made a quip about dudes padding their underwear, what would that be? And I've always thought

I was inclined to disagree due to the author's strong arguments and precise use of language, but after re-reading the part around Dr. Richard's comments, I do think the author made a bit of a logical leap. It went from "I&#x2

I figure to gain much-needed political capital somehow. It's probably a dead-in-the-water project, and they need some mil-industry complex saber rattling to give it a much needed (desperate) jump start. Because it sounds pretty useless

This has nothing to do with microwave technology at all. A sad face is warranted.

A promise made by Marissa Mayer, who, as most of us know, works elsewhere now. Sure, the promise was arguably on behalf of the company, but "under her watch" is also arguably implied.

What is the argument that you're trying to refute? I got more of a vibe from your comment. I feel like this is a great opportunity for the AskHistorians subreddit. But I think generalizing to just Europe says something, though, rather

Negative. After the yellow flag erased his lead between laps 25-30, he was able to get ahead by 3.2 seconds in one lap after the restart. After that he gains about 2 seconds per lap. They are definitely using something, especially with that

One could, but that'd be a stretch. It should be a discrete option left up to the user. If they're tweaking that much, they'll know or seek the knowledge on how to activate it themselves.
