What about yahoo and hotmail then?

The article itself already provides them with the TV… you can use cell phones too if you’d like. A palm pilot vs a Xiaomi. Virtually any electronics junk that you’d find on Amazon is cheaper now. What’s the common factor…? China. Again, in the paper.

They must have pushed down the inference cost quite a bit to launch this

I included a link that explains this. Anyone who thinks things becoming cheaper without mentioning china is delusional.

One example is the Samsung frame vs Hisense canvas. $1500 vs $1000 msrp. You can see similar price differences across all Samsung vs tcl and Hisense.

cocoa is the main input for that and is subject to weather and crop failure, which - surprise - is why its' more expensive. however if you're talking about chocolate candies (not raw cocoa) it is indeed less expensive now adjusted for inflation. the problem is the quality of chocolate candies has reduced, so the equivalent chocolate bar is probably more expensive even though the similar one is cheaper.

ironically cocoa is a great example of my point though - it's not imported from china, so there isn't a huge cost reduction.

huh? it is all cheaper relatively. which exported good from china is more expensive now than the 90s adjusted for inflation?

it's literally what the graphs in the article say... increased efficiency and what I am saying are not in contention.

South Korean TVs are cheap, too

more expensive than chinese

as for salaries - yes indeed they are up. not every chinese laborer is a slave obviously, but many are - not usually for electronics directly though, more often for the inputs of such (energy and what not).

i'm surprised there's contention about this - it's all over the news.

chinese (slave) labor. in fact, look at anything primarily imported from china - very cheap compared to 1990s. look at things that cannot easily be exported from china like housing or education. expensive.

the world has never been cheap, we're just better at arbitrage now.

the amount of people willing to delegate to chatgpt tells me in the near future only rich people will be able to speak with a real doctor. the current top comment about someone's uncle being saved due to chatgpt guidance says it all.

The proper decorum here is if the doctor made the wrong diagnosis. All fees and causal charges made by the doctor must be fully refunded and paid for. It’s only fair given the premium they were originally given to make a false diagnosis.

lol terrible idea. just as great as having so that the service you bought is entirely refunded if the code has a single bug.

Watch the video, it’s obvious. The person was stopped as part of an ice directive.

They’re literally on camera doing ice work (prior to the killing), virtually guaranteed it’ll count.

this is not true. why is this upvoted? first of all, ICE is federal. second, they were acting as part of "federal official" duties. it will be trivial to move any state prosecution to federal court.

I don't disagree, but I don't think private companies should be able to both keep videos indefinitely and for those videos to be accessible to the government for arbitrary goals.

so even if you don't have your face scanned on the register, unless you're paying cash they'd still know who you are right? don't most people have passports? real ID is also a thing. if you're concerned about a hostile government wearing a mask at a grocery store isn't going to do anything sadly. not even counting things like gait analysis, security cameras or tracking your phone

Katz v. United States is an interesting case if you're interested (tldr one thing the case implied is that if your actions are freely observable by others of the public there's no expectation of privacy).

personally I think the only option these days is to push for very short retention policies governed by law such that use of information is inadmissible in a criminal situation (e.g. say a 1 week retention, they can't go scrubbing footage from months back to convict, wouldn't be allowed during discovery), and making it harder or illegal to share with other non-government entities. stopping collection I think is a ship that's sailed imo. it's pretty unlikely public or private surveillance (for supermarket like stores) will ever be made illegal. in fact I can't think of a country where it is.

- as a side note, suggesting to switch to Whole Foods is hilarious. Whole Foods is owned by Amazon, and you can look for yourself all the tracking they do

? the chauvin case wasn't the same at all. he choked flyod needlessly for 10 minutes. completely unnecessary and good that chauvin was convicted. I follow these cases since I'm part of a police justice group - I've never seen a case similar to what happened here where the officer was convicted. there's just too much precedent that if a car is going towards you the officer is justified in shooting

if you have an example of a similar situation where the cop is convicted I am very very interested.

there are already sites where again you can put it anyone's name and it will show you where they live, where they lived, people they've lived with, and no I will not link them because they're already too widespread and I don't want more to know about them, but someone on here can trivially find one

there are plenty of people who are children of cops or military who have no shame, so I doubt it

the simplest explanation is simply that they preferred trump to Harris.

they can be charged with anything, but there's no way this guy is convicted of murder.

anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't been paying attention to the hundreds of analogous situations that have been happening to blacks.

literally just look it up, the exact scenario has already played out before. cop gets off. and I mean literally exact scenario - with two cops, one in front, one to the side, driver (black) tries to drive off, front cop shoots and kills the black guy, is convicted, and acquitted. seriously, look it up.

George Zimmerman stalked Treyvon Martin, shot and killed him and was still acquitted. you think this guy is going to be convicted really?

American police have been murdering citizens for over a century - nothing new sadly.

shot and killed - they haven't even been charged, let alone arraigned for murder yet (they would definitely get not guilty for that - manslaughter at worst given the cirumstances).

there are plenty of sites at least in the USA where you have live cameras of public areas, hosted by the governments themselves.

not sure this can be stopped as long as it's legal to record in public

If an insight led you or a family member to being misdiagnosed and crippled would you just say it’s their or your own fault? If it were a doctor would you have the same opinion?

They should go all out and nationalize zoning. Let it be challenged all the way to Supreme Court. Trumps developer buddies get paid, the grift continues and the housing crisis is eliminated.

Do it. Do it now.

I find them all comparable, but Gemini is cheaper

If simply spending money worked USA would be the most healthy.

In other years they used similar excuses like China and then Trump in 2016 and then Covid, then J6, then Covid again… Again, doomer mentality.
