Yes this is also a question that comes to my mind. Where are the design docs from the past 50 years of software development. There must be something concrete for people to study and learn from.

India possibly. It's not much in the geopolitical discussion, but in 50 years time, may be earlier, India will have a larger economy than the US. That will truly be then end of the "American Age". Whole playbook which has been applied to USSR, China won't apply either.

Even as on today, moving to India and Indonesia and similar countries will bring similar quality of life that people get in the US at a lower cost. Rents, Healthcare, labour all are much cheaper. Interest rates are much higher.

You'll even get things like quick-commerce, which isn't really taking-off in the US.

But why is that so? Can't the credit card regulator simply mandate the use of PINs for credit card transactions.

And it could even cheaper since like about 40% of price of many cars in India is reportedly taxes and duties.

Also did they use image processing to guide the landing this time? American and Chinese probes seems to use it to do the final phase of soft landing.

Do English intellectuals even criticise Churchill?
