That’s only half the story they told you. After you dice, grind and melt the original material. You have to use some virgin materials as binder to get all that stuff together. The amount of virgin materials can sometimes surpass even the amount of old stuff and render the whole recycling process moot for those nasty material. That’s why you should have better just burn them all in a furnace or just bury them back in the ground where they belong.
Not having a functioning browser. And no, it’s not Chrome. Why would you want to use an ads pushing piece of garbage?
I grew up in a third world country and one of the first gift my immigrant relatives got for my parents was a microwave oven. That was way back in the early 90s when almost nobody in my country knew what a microwave oven was. The same microwave had been going strong for more than 30 years before the buttons finally broke last year. All for around $200 back in the day.
Well, you just need to read between the lines there.
uncertainty over China’s economic trajectory
Read: uncertainty over ability to continue exploiting labors using your accumulated surplus
geopolitical tensions…
Read: closing window of opportunities to freely move your accumulated surplus elsewhere
This is just like those immigrated nobles running from liberal revolutions in the past.
First Gen immigrant here. Credit card obtainment is itself not that hard if you already have guardians or sponsors who are willing to cosign your paperworks. If you don’t even have that then it would have been impossible for you to even legally get into this sh*t hole to begin with so I have no idea why you said it was hard.
The hard part is getting a credit line as high as 100k without a stable income and high credit score. Even many US citizens I known don’t even have close to that numbers in all their accounts combined fresh out of college. The conman in the post either already have rich relatives who are paying it back or must have lost even more cash withdrawn from China to bankroll his “scam”
Lastly, regardless of how you spent that money, it’s still entrapped inside the US economy and thus not enrich his own country at all. Unless they bought gold or cash back to China, of course
Doesn’t seems to be an official ban. My friends in Vietnam are still able to access Steam just an hour ago. This is most likely a situation like those manga websites black listed by Comcast or AT&T DNS.
At this point a case need to be hundred of “b” to be more than cost of doing business for Apple. The ‘m’ fine are just rounding errors
Cars. Or at least infrastructure systems that’s entirely built just for cars.
Couple that with the profit optimization every one in the construction industry do means majority of the time and money spent would be on finding the way to squeeze out the most amount of money.
Do DeDRM, and yet they host their code on GitHub and have a link directly to PayPal in the README for funding? Are these guys trying to get sued?
The IP and character designs are probably the only thing that’s worth saving. Everything else from writing, world building to even power systems have been a complete mess.
I kinda understand the pain of those fanfic writers who sent time to write those stories. But book printing and binding for small numbers of print is really expensive. And I’m sure a lot of book lovers would love to have physical versions of their favorite works. So I am sure the situation will continue until things change in the publishing industry.
The reporter probably considered nothing less than a nuclear first strike a"loud" announcement 🤣
Pretty sure killing wounded combatants who have no means of resistance is a war crime. It’s even worse since it happened inside a hospital which should be shield from any fighting. Most moral army is acting as a bunch of war criminals as usual.
Whatever already existed won’t be thrown away regardless of the ruling. It’s like throwing all the gold already dug up just because it was done by slave labor. The law and legal actions are mostly just a moat around the pile of gold already dug up. Sure AI companies will have to pay more for the new data from other sources. However that would be peanut compared to how much they will have to pay starting from zero.
Well, it’s better to be worried when official copyright holders are going after you and not a bunch of troll bots. Bullying using the legal process and fee is a common tactic. It’s better to legal up and be ready to fight in court than ignore their attacks and get raided by the Fed.
You probably should draw a down vote next to the mirror then
Most people I know who use Linux wouldn’t trust Cloud services cause that’s just storing your stuff on somebody else machine. You can self hosted service like Next cloud on a raspberry pi or just get comfortable with networking enough to setup VPN and ssh into your home computer from the net to get your stuff.
no, the desired outcome for the West is another hundred year of humiliation for China where they can carve the country up, region by region, and freely looting Chinese wealth while waxing poetically about the white man burden. The Chinese fighting back is entirely inconceivable.
Their legitimacy have always been found in being the absolute sellout to empires and willing enforcers of colonists against their own people though. Anything else is just pandering to the sold out victims so they stop fighting back and make the sub pressor job a little bit easier. Normalize relationships with Israel will absolutely be fine with the Saudi as long as the US want it.
