If you actually care it’s a good time. It has never been as easy to learn and get into software engineering as it is today.

The thing is - you can have convenience without sacrificing all that.

I don’t care about bandwidth but it’s clearly worse technology. Pointing to a physical target and exchanging physical tokens is straight up better technology. This is functional regression.
I like how Japan solved the cash overhead with automatic cash change machines everywhere - this is the right solution for payment processing and updating menus is easy.

This is spreading to the rest of the world too. I just came back from Singapore and encountered this exact scenario several times. I just get up and leave- can’t be bothered would rather eat a mini mart sandwich then.
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 1 week ago:
You didn’t even make a sound argument let alone a reasonable one.
Relaity is China got out of poverty in spite of CCP not because of it. If they had democracy like Taiwan they’d be more rich AND more free.

Again you move the goalpost. Sad that you spend so much effort just to boot lick. I hope you get paid at least 🙏

Lol keep moving the goal post boot licker

All I did is call you out that you can’t draw conclusions from n=1 of a policy so you can’t attribute chinese authoritarian policy for “getting people out of poverty”. So your glazing of Chinese autocrats is exactly that - glazing.
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 1 week ago:
What?? Then why even discuss anything about anything?
I’m confused by your reply here. This is entirely limited to this scenario of false attribution. As we can’t verify this in any meaningful extend due to - as you yourself pointed out - every country and culture being invredibly different. So why are you OK with attributing success to chinese policy but not failure?
At the end of the day the historic justification magic doesn’t matter. I see today how unjust and miserable China is despite what tiktok might paint you. Not having internet is my litmus test and China fails this, I don’t understand how can people justify this. And please don’t try to diminish the great firewall of China - it’s really fucking bad.

Taiwan received substantial foreign aid from the US because of it’s strategic value against the mainland
And? China literally owns the 2nd largest land mass in the world. So which variables are allowed in this math and which aren’t? Maybe if you give us a list we can defeat your delusion more swiftly.

And lifting 800 million people out of extreme poverty over the span of 40 years, can you name a more successful policy, ever, in all of history?
Democracy. I really hate this untestable argument as if we could go back in time and do A|B test to see which framework would have lifted people out of poverty the fastest. Taiwan is richer and more free than China despite being democratic, so is Japan, South Korea - what now? Which dicks do we measure and do we start at the balls or just the shaft?

Did you have covid? Long covid has made people lethargic and I have some friends who still only recently fully recovered.
Either way this is serious issue and you should see a doctor. This is not normal aging.

Nah so tired of incels and losers running the world. Yall need to start taking some responsibility

You have to remember the British rules over us for centuries and all our grandparents want to do is to imitate them.
is yours?
- Comment on Anon is 23 3 weeks ago:
yes instead whine how you have no opportunities with one the most privileged passport in the world. Skill issue, no one can help you at this point if you can’t take advantage of all advantages you are given.

College is not only about a degree it’s part of our social culture and you’re making your child miss out on that due to fear.
- Comment on Anon is 23 3 weeks ago:
Anon is a loser and it shows. Instead of doing something with free rent and free time he “jerks off and watches tv”. He doesn’t even have any responsibilities so what stopping them from picking up and going there the job market is? You can get a low paying good job anywhere around the world just by the virtue of being a westerner. Sure you won’t be buying super cars but you’ll grow, experience life, do something rather than whine on racist boards like a little bitch.

Nah man I understood your comment and you do defer responsibility to “british ruling us for centuries and old people trying to imitate them” as if rape was not a big problem in the region for hundreds of years. I hate colonizers as much as anyone else but when it comes to this issue it’s not that.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Ah the good ol’ “everything is the fault of colonizers” deflection. Also it was not even a century that the area that is now Pakistan was ruled by British Empire - 98 years to be exact.

I have no love for disks. It’s a dead technology. We should work on software ownership instead.

- Comment on The Ultimate Robot Knockout Legend (URKL) is a professional, freestyle combat sports league for full-sized humanoid robots. This is real. 4 weeks ago:
The obsession is actually in search of new tech markets to dominate. AI race, Ev Race, Solar Panel race, gig-economy race. There’s so much money in each of these. Sometimes early investments pay off like EV industry and sometimes they absolutely do not - gig economy race for example.
This seems like new reality - chase to dominate big general markets and China is absolutely winning everything from EVs and solar panels to literally fishing out every fish out of existence within the next few decades if not less.
This is really bad.

it’s fulyl autonomous and it’s just an ad for China’s upcoming robot industry. There a lot of events like that from dancing, to fighting to just doing chores. So it’s not really a market on it’s own to justify more investments and refinement - it’s just a meme.
- Comment on "Censorship" ☠️ 5 weeks ago:
It’s truly sad that one of the most horrific conditions out there has so little sympathy and research. I understand why but it seems like this cartoon band-aid and strict defensive enforcement is as far as we’ll get with this issue for the foreseeable future.

I feel like it"s the opposite - people blame economic system for their problems because they look for an easy simple answer where they are justified of not doing anything.
