The Netherlands are filled with Netherlanders. The US... not so much.

Agreed. It's basically RF guided by wires, or light guided by glass/plastic. And... I hate to say it, but I've been interacting with computers connected to WiFi about 90% of the time over the last week. Rarely used a physica

>> Rates that are based on the car, not the driver. I like my low very rates. I don't want to pay higher rates for people who can't parallel park. They can suffer their skill issues.

State Farm is slightly more expensive than others. From a policy standpoint, this works out really well for them as the bottom feeders aren't their customers, so they have fewer claims.

Wise economically. For things you can cover, external insurance will be more expensive than self-insurance because you aren't paying for random CEOs. (Unless you've captured some and are tending to them)

I absolutely hate tours and being penned in. However, if I see expats or locals in a tour group, it tells me there's some value there I'm missing. Served me well in India and parts of South America, for example.

Pretty normal. My Chinese name is Chinese. Much less friction to pick a 21st-century English name in the anglosphere.

The moon landings were faked, and Stanley Kubrick directed them. Annoyingly, he insisted on filming on location.

We learned that free trade has costs, and we're adjusting. That's ok too.

It conjecture, but in my opinion there's something about our brain based on the evidence. Three pounds of meat in one human brain can do things an entire datacenter of AI can't. Like fold clothing.

The trouble is that a 24/7 AI stochastic parrot does pretty damn well at some things. In my estimation, we're arguing about how big the blast radius will be.

Man, I’m out of touch. I grew up when tech was us nerds making things. Value was in building things and solving problems. Not in vague connection, curated vulnerability, or coordinating other coordinators.

It's been interesting to see how the next generations just don't care. If you had an Atari, CoCo, Ti... or nothing, that information was important back then.

Does this explain why all the kids in the States got recorders after the war? It's still a thing in 4th grade for most kids in public school.

That still happens in America. Hike to a remote place, and get your friend to drop a keg in a mountain lake from his plane. "Alpine Lake Keg Drop".

Because we should be able to examine the evidence ourselves. It would let us, as a free people, decide whether this was overreach or valid.

We have a document detailing our competitors. So I guess I have to ask... Am I normal?

something is going on with those Chinese companies if the equivalent Toyota costs twice as much to produce. It could be close-to-free labor, subsidies, or a myriad other things... but it's something.

At one point, it was encouraged that 9-year-olds get the vaccine. As a parent, I'd rather my child wait until their immune system is more developed, with the idea being that if they're getting STDs at age 9, then there's a bi

Indeed! It's only to filter out people who don't put in details. If you put "I survived Embarcadaro's bullshit and used Kylix to make a Linux version of our app." then YourResume := YourResume + 1;

Shit. That does make it hard. I suspect you made the right move to protect yourself from drama.
