Apple seems to be a couple of generations ahead of every other ARM vendor. e.g. the Qualcomm SQ2 doesn’t seem to bad on paper but it’s several times slower than the m1 and barely competitive with the more power efficient AMD chips.

This is an nonsensical comparison. As absurd as Putins claim is historically it has more ground to stand on , at least historically both Russia and Ukraine are (kind of) successors to the original Rus state centered around Kiev. Whereas Aze

Right… so by that definition US (and Canada) was already the old new USSR? Since this scheme is basically identical to ESTA.

> worked for 1000s Well you would be right if upu only averaged out yearly inflation over large periods of time. However this stability you’re talking about is just an illusion. Year to year it was much worse e.g. during the 19th century

If you looked at the chart in https://www.in2013dollars.com/uk/inflation/1800?endYear=1914... The value of currency fluctuated much more during most of the 19th century than it did between 1990 and 2020. It’s just

That wasn’t true in the 19th century. There weren’t that many self sufficient farmers left back then and the economy was heavily interlinked, especially after the rise of railroads. The economy was in a permanent boom and bust cycle e.g. th

Trump unlike Bush or Reagan didn’t invade any foreign countries so that sounds like a strange argument to me..

I did not necessarily mean that US would literally nuke half of the world. However it’s hard to imagine a country in a dominant position such as this (i.e. being the only country with nuclear weapons in the world). If given the choice betw

I’m pretty sure ~ 1922 was the low point using any reasonable metric. Collapse in agricultural production, widespread famine and the red terror (following years of both white and red terror..) The 1990’s were nothing compared to the Russian

What makes you think the US wouldn’t have nuked half the world by now if they were the only ones that had it? The main reason why nobody uses nukes or why are there no direct wars between world powers anymore is nuclear proliferation. I mi

The money saved can be wasted or used to build new prisons since there might not be much pressure (political or market) to put it back into the state budget. You know what would be the best way to save money? Cut the prison population in ha

I’m not sure if this specific market is really that free, more likely they’d continue charging as much as they can get away with. Also relatively few prisons are private.

by yywwbbn 4y ago
$150k is the average and relatively few people in prison are mentally ill murderers. So something doesn’t seem to add up.

There was the first plague pandemic which began in 541 AD and brought done (or was one of the primary causes) the Roman Empire and lasted for several hundreds of years untill it died out (just like the second plague pandemic).

I disagree. If often had to spend time in highway traffic jams (which is what Mercedes seems to be offering here) I’d rather pay an extra 10k to get 30 minutes of my life back every day instead of buying a car which in which I’d be 1.5% les
