Did you miss the word "large"? And the UK required significant US assistance during the Falkland Islands war, so apparently you're quite ignorant about history. https://time.com/archive/6882618/just-

US average manufacturing average wage is $36/hr, which is far more than minimum wage. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CES3000000003

I don't know what happened in that particular case but worldwide declining birth rates will inevitably force many schools to close.

It's a myth that battleships didn't matter in WWII. They ended up being critically important in the Pacific Theater for carrier escort and amphibious fire support. They didn't stop mattering until the widespread deployment of

No, the labor force metrics only include people of working age.

The US labor force participation rate is currently at a relatively low level. There is plenty of surplus labor available with the right economic incentives. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CIVPART

It certainly wasn't self-sufficient in the last two large wars.

My optometrist told me that when he started clinical practice years ago he was shocked to discover how many people were driving around with severe visual impairments. The usual DMV eye exam is way too easy.

Average quality and reliability ratings even on new, unmodified Jeeps are abysmal. I understand why some consumers like them for style and off-road capability but overall it's a trash brand.

There's no lie in that tweet, just an opinion. You're free to ignore it as I do. You can even block or mute the whole account.

It's both. All humans and all environments are flawed. You can change yourself and control your reactions to your environment if you want to. You can probably also either improve your environment to some extent, or move to a better env

What is the specific lie in this case? I mean something that's factually incorrect, not just optimistic.

You appear to have misunderstood the role of the SEC. They will investigate civil violations of securities laws but there has been no credible allegation of such here. They don't take responsibility for stock valuation.

I didn't say that I didn't like it. It's fine as casual entertainment. Only a fool would take it as anything more than that. Electrons can't be a slave. The "argument" is so silly as to be unworthy of a serious

The moat is shifting from technology to access to proprietary training data. It doesn't matter how good your LLM platform is if you don't have good data to feed the training run. Public Internet data and published media is already

I thought that Nvidia's moat was more in CUDA? Hardware is hard but we've already seen other companies like Google design neural processors with compute efficiency close to Nvidia.

It's so weird that anyone would consider a story by hack writers for a cheesy sci-fi show made to sell advertising as a basis for policy discussions.

Is it not sufficient? Americans give more to charity than citizens of any other developed country. The arguments that all food aid should be routed through government bureaucracies are entirely unconvincing. I'd rather donate to organi

There's a lot more to cardiology than performing heart surgery. Many cardiologists don't perform surgery either.

SMS/RCS doesn't work for any group larger than a few people. You always end up with multiple parallel streams going that each include different subsets of the group, and sometimes other random people outside the group.

I'm aware of that history and the User-Agent header was a mistake even back then. It took the pressure off of browser vendors and gave them an excuse to not fix their bugs.

Sure, except that in cyberspace a lot of the people who are doing things that are — or should be — illegal are located in jurisdictions where no enforcement is possible. Places like Russia, Myanmar, and North Korea have no concept of the ru
