I think the better way to look at it would be to look at ways that it could've been done better. Everyone's a genius and mastermind that knows exactly why a certain product fails ("if they only had know this") or that the "bubble was there all along". Learning what could've been done better is much better than success stories where people knew what to do from some divine inspiration.
Africa also it's share of problems and diseases.See Ebola.
As someone without kids can you explain this? Where I work at many employees with kids come to work much later and leave much earlier since they have to pick up their kids or send them to after school activities. Wouldn't working from home better this process?
It's hard enough to compete against these established Tech Giants if they just come in and buy all the domestic companies. Not to mention the companies are starting with a massive head start.
The "Art of Failing Up" only requires getting an exorbitant amount of money from someone who is giving away money like candy.
A large part of that circumstance being the nonexistance of the former and creation of our urban environments to specifically cater to the latter.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirTrain_JFK#Ridership
>The AirTrain's ridership has risen each year since then. In 2017, there were 7,655,901 passengers who paid to travel between JFK Airport and either Howard Beach or Jamaica. This represents a 292% increase over 2004, the first full year of operation, when 2,623,791 riders paid.
>An additional 12.6 million people are estimated to have ridden the AirTrain for free in 2017.
When such an answer already exists, there is no reason to even ruminate on self driving cars.
The US started off the game with a lot more technology, knowledge, and power than the Chinese. I'm kind of iffy that developing nations should open their markets entirely to the largest multinational corporations especially if that means steamrolling the local companies. A lot of Chinese companies would not have been able to start if they instantly got out marketed by large American ones.
You can see it when people with the basic understanding of police interactions can avoid so much illegal stuff happening if they just know when to say no.
In USD really. Unsurprisingly, people living in a large city in China are not dirt poor as you would expect.
Also, what would 100% light absorption look like?
>Is it justified to temporarily suspend rights/privileges of 100 innocent people
Which the answer is always no. Saying otherwise opens the door to more police state factors encroaching upon the rights of the others. The same thing is happening in Xinjiang against innocent muslims there and in no case is unlawful detention without reasoning ever justified.
1. Terrorists deserve the same human rights as normal people.
2. The removal of liberties is extended upon all citizens making this province an open air jail.
The fact that the situation in Kashmir changed so rapidly as well doesn't bode well for the reasoning behind this crackdown as well.
I've actually found that the larger a country is the more criticized it is on human rights violations. If a small country was genociding its own people or anything that X was doing, then the media would simply ignore it as it isn't a large enough story to talk about.
All the examples you give of X are taking place right now across the world in most developing nations yet the focus is placed on the largest ones.
That's the racial divide. Not just downtown.
Is she talking about HN?
> For instance, two year olds.
Probably easier to push a child on a stroller through a walkable area than to put it in a car and drive to a location. Less time-consuming and better for the environment as well.
As well as walkable spaces being better for the elderly who can't legally drive and the handicapped who can't legally drive as well.
There obviously is a reason to be against China in this ban otherwise they'd ban a ton of other apps as well.
>Eat Noodle and Rice.
The cuisine of China is actually very varied. Rice is more common in the Southern and Middle parts of China compared to noodles which are found mostly in the Northern Parts.
You could not find a Dim Sum place in Shanghai compared to Southern cities because Dim Sum is more of a Southern tradition. While the cuisines of Shanghai are completely different than ones found in Xian, Xinjiang, and Hubei.

Back in the 70s or even the 90s this mixing of people was pretty much unheard of. Shanghai culture was only in Shanghai while the rest of the country was their own little thing. Only recently have the people and culture of the country begun to mix.
The grouping of everyone in China into Han Chinese is a simplification IMO. A person from the Northern regions of China can't even speak to a person from the Southern region while the culture of every part of the country is drastically different and would make the differences between Americans look miniscule.
