Have a great day. You are an intellectual giant who has bested me.

Guess what? You are both smarter and more knowledgeable. Have a great day.
All this to defend your position that billions of people don’t have a way to say “yes”.
You don’t have go do nuts with the details, I read the same articles. I’m just saying this is in the process of happening and people are denying the reality in general.
Example: https://lemmy.world/comment/8043602
Example: there’s a person in this thread insisting that Chinese people do not have a way to say “yes”. It’s… weird, to be charitable.
You have adequately demonstrated your knowledge. Ten years is not that long. It’s happening. We should prepare for it, not deny the reality which is what most do.
How about “shi”…?
A lot can happen in ten years these days. For some reason I always have to state this every time this topic comes up: I never said it was going to be easy. It’s not going to be fast. It is going to happen, though.
I work with a few people from China. What do you think they will say if I ask them if they have a way to say yes to other people in the language they speak when they call their parents?
This is a very different take from “Chinese people just can’t do this no matter how much time, money, and talent they devote to it” which is what I’m taking about.
It’s going to turn out that a nation of billions can, surprisingly, figure out how to make chips domestically once it is no longer possible obtain them efficiently from external markets. This might take a few years to ramp up but it will happen and the market will be flooded.
Most people I’ve talked to on forums like this believe it is impossible for various reasons that center around technical competence.
I am no lover of Chinese governmental policies but this attitude is both racist and risky. I am old enough to remember people saying Japam was only good at copying Western inventions, for example. I also remember a few years later when everyone wanted to learn to speak Japanese and The Book of Five Rings was the hot CEO book of the month.
China will figure this out.
Also, I’m sure they will not use the conversion rate at higher prices to test out a higher base price.
Yup for sure
In a city I lived in the built a speed skating ring in the middle of the city for some national winter games and it’s used as a free skating oval in the winter and running track when it’s warm. That scale of infrastructure seems ok and it’s much beloved by the people. However, that’s so different from a massive stadium.
This was true of NFL stadiums for US cities last I checked, which was several years ago. In general this stuff looks like a prestige project that rarely produces enough residual benefit to the hosting city to make it worthwhile.
If anyone did, I’d say it was the AG at the time. His father basically got Epstein started and there’s no way he wasn’t thinking about all the dirty laundry that was going to be aired.
Allegedly, and so forth.
Do you trust the government?
The people down voting you should try not paying taxes for a while and we’ll see how that goes for them.
Sadly true and most people aren’t wired to see it. The difference, in my mind, is the degree to which this is politely hidden. I do pay tax willing and recognize the value of government versus anarchy but this is true on a fundamental level.
Edmonton says hi. :)
It will be nice when Trump has Lavrov over, only allows Russian journalists to cover the meeting, and reveals a bunch of classified info. True patriots want that. Right?
