Wonder why they're not just giving us access, if it's indeed so good? Seems it's just to generate some noise and hype around Gemini. Hardly believable after the previous faked demo, as someone already said.

No, the ignorant live in a delusion and can't explain their conspiracy theories.

Highly unlikely, Zach specifically mentioned how their scans are an artistic representation, since the scans undergo heavy editing to highlight certain parts and make the hardware "pop".

US is one of the only countries in the world where you still have to pay US taxes no matter where you live or work and what passports you have, as long as you are a US citizen, and you can't give up US citizenship, which is also a paid process, unless you've paid all taxes.

I was forced to move here when my parent got married. Never wanted to come here, didn't have a choice, tried to like it and I don't think that's humanly possible. Don't be a dick.

Oh no, don't get me wrong, I've been dying to leave, nothing I would like more. But I am sure you've heard of the term economic slavery, and that's what I have become. Don't make enough to make the ends meet, and don't make enough to leave. Have to pay the debts before I can give up the passport.

As a European who has been living in the US for a decade, yeah, you're pretty spot on. Americans are a scared people, probably the most scared I've ever seen. Afraid of the gov't, the neighbors, and random people they don't even know. I've gotten a ton of hate as a foreigner and I am not surprised a hateful, greedy and selfish population like here is afraid somebody will take them out with an improvised device.

Oh boo fucking hoo. Just a few months ago turned down a university teaching gig at the department of computer science for 45k a year (you need a PhD to even be considered). It's not surprising, and there should be a shortage of teachers and professors given what universities/schools want to pay for these jobs to highly educated people.

Uncanny, but it does add up to a year of minimum wage (7.25) work minus the weekends and the holidays.

Isn't that surprising? What happened to "No taxation without representation"? America turned into what it was founded to oppose.

Only if you're high profile or very rich. Unfortunately vast majority of Americans like us just get left behind.

This is true, but not exclusive to China and the Chinese people. I've immigrated to the US from Europe about 13 years ago and it was a very legally and financially painful process. I've since acquired a B.S.,M.S.,and a Ph.D. in a highly desirable specialization and haven't been able to find a job in the US. This country has left me poor, in debt and hopeless. My wife and I are packing our bags and moving back to Europe. I don't see any opportunity for myself or my children in this declining, chaotic, money hungry country.
