there must be a law to cap these fees at 4-5% of the service. This is roughly 2x of the cost to process credit card payment

it doesn't change anything, because it is false

the Western society has adopted capitalism (money is God and money above all), and enjoys Capital when times are good and incomes are high.

However, for some strange reason, the West refuses to use dialectic materialism to explain when times are bad, when males feel lonely or face increased suicide rates.

material conditions explain everything, both when times are good, and when times are bad.

The solution is to obtain (via any means necessary) better material conditions, which might include redistribution by force or political action

modernity and its toxic feminism is causing untold suffering and increased male suicide

Straw man, it is very sad you had to make up ridiculous unrealistic scenario to make your point, which highlights how weak and wrong your original position is

car telematics in insurance is already being used and is offered to customers as opt-in in exchange for premium discounts for good driving behavior.

if you are not reckless driver yourself, I dont see a downside here. You get lower premiums, insurance is able to narrow down the pool of reckless drivers and properly price them and modify their behavior via monetary incentives

whats the actual downside here??????

BYD is cheaper because BYD engineers are smarter, have higher IQ and able to vertically integrate components to cut overheads.

in the US auto OEMs are mainly putting parts together, made by different suppliers like ZF, Bosch, Lemforder etc etc. Its assembly work and it split across hundreds of legacy car component suppliers

subsidies is a very lazy argument, US subsidizes and protects even more and bails out car OEMs.

the real argument is efficiency, US cannot match efficiency and scale. Thats the root cause.

can you explain why is tracking an issue? Google/Android and Apple both do live tracking and Brazilians seems to be fine with using both US made and China made smartphones and cars.

Whats the real argument for a Brazilian, why they should be concerned with this ludicrous claims from USA: "muh China is tracking you going to Copacabana beach. Stop buying Chinese EV for $20k, buy Tesla for $60k instead and you will be safe!!!!11"

becuase devs stop coding by hand and start prompting AI even for smallest of tasks, for example "hey codex, check grafana alerts and tell me x, y, z" instead of navigating it by hand and figuring out in grafana UI

Americans are not Koreans/Chinese, they have completely different IQ distribution and ethnic mix of population.

PISA result distributions are completely different

American textbooks are the thickest, heaviest, have the most pages and have generally more comprehensive coverage that is better for self-studying.

For example Gregory Mankiw's Economics textbook is 800 pages.

Russian economics textbook by Tarasevich is 374 pages

its already the case, in America student classes get reshuffled EVERY year. Plus kids change schools from elementary/middle/high/college. Every year your class is shuffled.

There wont be any impact on students, because every year every class is reshuffled slightly, and every 3-4 years you change school altogether

your adult life and career will be ruined even worse if you cant grasp basic math.

The school is supposed to be a safe learning environment, not a simple daycare.

learning means giving a feedback to improve. If you destroy the feedback mechanism that gives negative news, then people stop learning altogether.

Imagine trying to train a neural network, but you dont have backpropagation, because negative feedback is bad. So you stick to throwing noodles at the wall and hope something will stick

All societies have crime and prisons

The reason is Soviets wanted to catch up to the Western world in science.

That's it, there is no other explanation.

Stalin took the reigns of a devastated, poor, agricultural society and left it as a nuclear armed superpower who won WW2. The State had the goal of being a strong state and educating its people to be strong people

the truth is America has given up on "shifting the distribution" to the right.

Its impossible to do so at the lower end, without massive redistribution.

So the next possible action is to paper over the giant hole in the wall with plaster and pain and pretend that "everything is ok, according to standards"

NIW doesnt mean you have to build weapons.

Simple cybersecurity (offensive or defensive) qualifies for NIW, as well as other fields

I actually prefer the policy of people repeating the grade, rather than school graduating people who dont understand basic math

they were not gangsters during the soviet times, so its hardly an argument about them as persons. But rather a sign of decaying times (the fall of the USSR and the economic hardship).

Remember when the US had a hurricane somewhere in the South (Kathrina?), people just went looting all retail stores, same as what happened during BLM riots, the current riots in Paris, etc etc

Cisco doesn't talk to devices, Cisco talks protocols, most of them are documented in specs and they are often vendor neutral.

if any hardware does not confirm to specs, thats on them and its actually a reason to pull out and replace legacy hw

Cisco is losing to competitors in some features/products, for example to juniper mist.

rewrite can be done to quickly refactor and/or close the feature parity, improve the UI/UX for end customer, add missing features or integration needs

there is software to simulate any arbitrarily complex network: GNS3, eve-ng, Cisco Modeling labs, etc

there is always infra/platform underneath the system, they are the SREs

their only argument is dont do anything, dont build anything, dont change anything, the Earth is too populated, so we need degrowth degrowth degrowth at all costs and fall of living standards across the board, so that we can achieve true Net Zero Carbon life.

thats the only argument these people make

can today's labs prompt Claude Code to do 1488 experiments in-vitro continiously over 48 hrs ?

then why are we bothering with importing batteries from China if USA has solved the problem with pumped storage ???

dont you see the problem with USA solving the problem and USA still having a lack of energy storage issue ???

because SWEs are simply more superior. it is SWEs who built AI, and not the biology students

currently we rely on meatbags to do 2 and 3, we have not fully built in-vitro done by Claude Code

the transition is in-silico => in-vitro => in-vivo

AI already can do in-silico simulation

add microscopes and tiny precision actuators, and we can build closed feedback loop in-vitro system

once we have in-vitro, it will be easier to go in-vivo
