Capitalism also needs a functioning environment to continue…
Well, at least the front hasn’t fallen off.
Give them advice about how to do it to someone else.
The vast majority of people (i include myself in this) will fuck it up in some way and end up harming themselves. If you seek to destroy someone’s life and you don’t actually end it, you leave behind someone who has nothing left to lose and is highly motivated to find who is responsible.
If you destroy someone’s life they may end yours.
Still worthy of pity
Not from me. They are adults, they made their bed. Their children are the real victims.
To be happy at other people’s misfortune is not ok.
I honestly don’t think this applies here. This is a direct result of their own actions. No one forced them.
To me this is a case of: You reap what you sow.
Did you read the comment you replied to or did you just spit out this pre-packaed reply that addresses nothing the original comment raised?
Simply put.
We wouldn’t notice anything.
Our perception of the world would be based only on the compute cycles and not on any external time-frame.
The machine could run at a Million Billion hertz or at one clock-cycle per century and your perception of time inside the machine would be the same.
Same with low ram, we would have no indication if we were constantly being paged out to a hard drive and written back to ram as required.
Greg Egan gave a great explanation of this in the opening chapter of his Novel Permutation City
and might even get better
I honestly doubt it. I don’t think it is possible for reddit to be profitable in anything like its current form.
Twitter, before the EM implosion, had managed one profitable year in the last decade.
Reddit has about 2 orders of magnitude less users than twitter.
Those users are much less attractive to advertisers because reddit knows fuck all about them compared to twitter.
Reddit surfed through the years of cheap vc money but going public could kill it.
Don’t worry Captain, it is logical. The needs of the many outweigh
The needs of the few
…or the one.
Are we still doing phrasing?
Don’t put yourself down like that. It really was a good piece of fiction.
That’s a great story you have there, you should pitch it to netflicks.
Which China has never ruled
True, the CCP claiming The Philippines would be seen as ridiculous by the rest of the world.
Then again, the CCP has never ruled Taiwan either…
Not technically.
The country’s formal title is: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland is not part of Britain
Seeing that most cargo ships sail under flags of convenance, how do they plan on telling the difference between fiends and foe?
They don’t want control, only profit.
And they will struggle to get that. They will spend billions and years setting up the infrastructure to extract resource wealth of the region, which is considerable, then the problems will start.
After all, the 24 hour news cycle lives on scandals.
And because it is a 24 hour cycle, the scandal will be forgotten and replaced with a new one in the same amount of time.
Yes, because they are currently the ones with the support (or at best acquiesce) of the most of the tribes.
But the currently in the previous sentence has a very short half-life.
I am not telling China to stop, far from it. It will be fun to watch their grand plans to fall to shit the same way the USA’s did.
I thought that the billions they have already pissed away on the belt and road project would have been a cautionary lesson. But it seems not.
The French will never agree.
Their stance has always been, if France is threatened we will use every weapon in our arsenal.
They do not have end the world stocks of nukes like the US or Russia so their attitude is, “Fuck with us and we will end you.”
