If the employees bought it, it would probably make more sense. Random people don't seem invested enough.

I would never use a Microsoft language since they discontinued VB6. Open Source languages are the only sane option.

Chinese investment in the US is inherently risky. For example TikTok. BYD would be stomping GM and Ford. The next thing you know, they would need to sell their factory.

I don't know why people keep thinking that China will attack Taiwan. It took HK and Macao without a shot. I think China is following Sun Tzu.

"subduing the enemy without fighting," is the epitome of strategic thinking in his book, The Art of War. This means achieving victory through cunning, deception, and maneuvering, rather than through direct confrontation and bloodshed"

They are increasing their military knowing that US military costs 4+x as much. It might be 4x better so don't fight. Just bankrupt the US. Trump wants a $1T military budget next year.

Why would China want to conquer the West? Buying what it wants is cheaper than an uncertain military battle fought with Nukes.

I love Chromebooks. Windows is tras. Even if you buy a MacBook, Apple is able to reconfigure your machine at will.

What about the people that report parents to the police for endangering their children by allowing them to walk/bike to school?

Way more concerned about the US starting a new war to force China to buy some US crap.

Some of the Google errors are caused by malicious people doing user-generated nonsense. There is a parking lot next to water in Foster City called boat park. Inside the boat park, there was a dog run. Someone relabelled boat park into dog park and moved the boat park several hundred yards inland. I corrected it but it kept changing.

I have no problem with the owned scooters. The scooter rental market is designed to tax the walking infrastructure. They need to have plug in stalls like the electric bikes. There also needs to be a way of keeping them off sidewalks.

I used to drive my kids everywhere. I lived in the SF Bay Area and transit sucked. I moved to Vancouver, Canada and my kids can just roam around. Kids under 12 can ride for free on transit. The mall is 4 blocks away and there is a skytrain station there. I do track their phones but it is way safer.
