I don’t understand why you’d use GDP here. Is the assumption that, normalized for currency differences, all countries have the same gdp? That’s not true.
I think argued earlier that tue money goes less far in the us because the cost of living is higher, so then normalize by cost or standard of living? But even that would assume that the average wage in the country is supporting the same lifestyle in both Russia and the us. Which it isn’t. Some countries live “better” than others.
I think raw numbers are probably best here. 100 trillion in military spending is 100 trillion.
I think they’re probably more worried about the us invading them. We’re the ones who’ve been invading countries most in the past 100 years, not china.
I mean, the loss of the headphone jack was a downgrade for no reason beyond profits. Big screens were a tradeoff made on purpose because customers demanded it.
6 in phones are in no danger of disappearing though.
I hate small phones. I switched back to an iphone SE years ago and realized it was a pita to use anymore. Everything is… too small.
This version naming is hrllaripusly awful. “It works on rotund tundra, but not alpine fresh. Hope that helps!”
Windows tends to work with ever you throw at it though. Plug it in and somehow it will find a way to work.
Why would sa make a deal with him? It would have to be secret and there’s zero chance he would abide by it later. If he wins and they kill him its a war. If he loses they’ve bought nothing anyway…
You see this thinking in science too. Dark matter has always struck me as an awful solution to a model breaking down. It’s basically “the numbers don’t add up so let’s add a fudge factor to make it say what we want”. But you’re generally considered a kook for questioning it now. People will spout a bunch of big words and hope you shut up if you do.
I will never really understand why china’s on these lists. I know it’s because theyre communist and commies = bad, but every other country on their has literally vowed to kill Americans, while china’s biggest crime is making close to as much money as we do.
Definitely no shady VPNs run by white westerners though. Theyve all got impeccable morals through ans through. Glad you cleared that up.
Firefox shipped sandboxing on Android years ago (before chrome) and then removed it. I’m not sure you gain much from it on Android. It eats up ram making performance crap on cheap phones and apps already run in their own app user context to isolate what they can access.
I will never understand how people expect software to gather no telemetry or metrics whatsoever.
That’s literally the same thing the us government is doing here…
Signing doesn’t provide security of privacy protections. It just means you paid apple a fee.
There’s no technical reason you can’t delete an image that’s been replicated. There’s an API to replicate the data, there can also be apis to delete the replicas (and apparently there are?)
There’s no reason a state can’t make that decision. You didn’t even make an argument. Just made a statement.
Ideally you’d just challenge a ruling like that and have it thrown out for being meritless and the judge who made it sanctioned. But the supreme court has ruled that judges have absolute immunity for their actions no matter how corrupt, so the best you can do is vote them out of office and then do nothing to them like we’re doing here.
The justice system is more concerned with protecting itself than justice and it’s the supreme court that’s been heading that boat for the last 200 years.
Still that doesn’t make their argument not stupid as hell. They have chances to fix it here and just refuse to admit that there’s a problem.
It’s funny how Americans hate for “whataboutism” suddenly goes away when the criticisms are pointed anywhere but at them.
