The big thing about Manhattan isn’t that its built in a grid, but that the shopping/offices/living are all mixed together. People are coming and going all day long. A lot of suburbs are like deserts.

They arn’t being cancelled by the government. And they arn’t speaking out for fear of being disappeared by the government.

I don’t like the US government, but there is no equivalency with China.

Other countries with stricter gun laws have lower murder rates. So it doesn’t follow that people will necessarily just move on to other weapons.

Also, knife crime in the UK is not higher than the US.

Yes the deaths were avoidable. We know they were because every other first world country doesn’t have this problem in anywhere the same degree.

Some people die from cancer, therefore we shouldn’t do anything about AIDs?

Is that US price with or without any insurance? Most countries negotiate a lower price with the drug companies the same way insurance companies do. I don’t see how Canadians negotiating a lower group price is worse then Americans paying someone to do that.

sure, but how much of what you think is product placement actually is, and how much of it is just things being used in their natural context because it would be weird put something fake there.

That’s why they’re called bubbles. Everything looks great until they burst. And you’ll likely only retroactively see why.

And it was successful. Half the comments are now about the West. And you have to scroll down to see any of the comments about China.

I want dark mode to make the interface fade away more. I don’t really like when the content is changed with it.

Apple is now a movie studio. ... And they’re now building computers for movie studios.

The real announcements were the proress fpga, and dual chip mpx cards which most people don’t need and won’t buy.

A mac mini plus egpu would cost less then and iMac and have roughly similar performance. And if you go with VII, or a couple VIIs would get you better performance then a specced out iMac Pro for half the money. It would requires dongele-ing things off the machine but it gets you what you want.

Edit: Apple should offer a more elegent solution, but long term this is probably where most of the market is going. Most people don’t need as big a machine any more, and egpus offer 85% of the performance. I expect we’ll end up with people increasingly buying cpu units,gpu units, hard drive units.

I think you’re making this more complex then it needs to be.

There will always be sociopaths.

Many humans get killed every year in driving accidents. Every year humans continue to drive. Didn’t they remember what happened? Didn’t they communicate it to other humans? Don’t they care?
