Eh, in feudalism too, if you were the son of a noble, you'd get the estate. And in real-world communism too, if you were the child of a high ranking official, you'd get into positions of power and know influential people. Even this is not specifically tied to capitalism.
Capitalism is the fact that you can buy and sell the tree and the fruits freely. In feudalism, you couldn't do this, not really at least, the land belonged to the noble, and you owed them your life and your work. In some cases, it was more akin to slavery than anything else. And in communism you couldn't do this either, the land and the produce was of the state, and the powerful officials decide how to allocate them.
And I'm not even saying that capitalism is in any way good, just that "powerful people at the top" is not in any way specific to this or that economic system.
Eh, feudalism too. And real-world communism. And pretty much any society that ever existed on this pale blue dot in space. There are always some in power that live in wealth, and then the rest that live in poverty and get fucked, it's not a feature specifically of capitalism.
That's not true when working internationally, since it can have different names in different nations. In Italy is Brugola, in Germany Inbus and in other places it has other names. Everyone understands what a hex key is though
I don't think that's realistic. Even the guy at the local market shouting "get your potatoes here" is technically advertisement.
What could work instead is to make both the company that advertises and the one that displays the ad liable for the ad itself. If it's inappropriate, contains malware or is in any way malicious, the company displaying it should also be liable for endangering the customers. Also outlaw tracking for advertisement purposes altogether
Boeing hasn’t built a new plane in a very long time.
Wait, what? They have created the 787 in the 2000s and the 777X and 737 MAX in the 2010s.
The issues are not because they didn't have projects, but because those projects were done primarily thinking about costs, time and profits. Do it fast and do it cheap always means do it bad, and this applies to any industry
It would actually be called "white ragù" and it's not usually associated with the city of Bologna like the classic "ragù alla Bolognese". The best white ragù I've had was actually in Tuscany. They have fucking great meat down there (also great wine)
As for the "sauce" element, it's usually created by the fat released from the pork meat (and the bacon/pancetta). In OP's dish, the issue is that he didn't incorporate the sauce with the pasta, therefore it looks dry and unappetizing. White pasta, when just left there on its own, is pretty bad. It needs to cling on to a sauce (which can be just some olive oil, but it needs something).
Next time, I'd advise putting it in a pan with the sauce and toss it for a minute or so, then serve.
Wait, how old is that? Because on Wikipedia it suggests that Xerox has been working on this at least since the 80s, and while it was only discovered in 2004, apparently everyone had been using these kinds of patterns for decades.
IMO is just placebo effect. In a blind experiment, all else being equal, I doubt you would be able to tell the difference between a vinyl and a CD. That's my two cents
I think the issue is mostly in the visuals. When you look for traditional English food, it is usually a plate full of beige stuff, sometimes paired with really unappetizing boiled carrots and beans. The gravy being on the side instead of part of the dish doesn't do it any favors either.
Also I'd argue England has pretty low standards for what counts as "food". I've had to work in England for a month, and finding something fresh, healthy and tasty to eat was a real challenge. I've never been as fat as when I came home.
The epitome of the wasted potential of English cuisine is the fact that it's an island full of the best fishes in the world, yet the only fish you can find is battered cod. Why is it so hard to get a salmon fillet? You have Scottish salmon ffs!
Yeah, I was saying that China has been open for business, but only at certain political conditions. Now these conditions are changing
Also, it's usually CCP in the US, CPC in China, PCC in Italy etc. Depends on your language. Same with the old Soviet Union, CCCP in Russia, USSR in US, URSS in Italy and so on. It's an acronym.
Except in many cases you cannot sell directly in China, but you need to "partner up" with a Chinese corporation in order to sell there (aka technology transfer). You then need the Chinese government approval and possibly a CCP person on the board
I didn't say that all revolutions are bad. It's usually a mixed bag, some good, some bad.
What I was saying is that violent revolutions and civil wars, like all wars, usually bring death, destruction and poverty for the normal everyday people. So if you are expecting better living conditions right after a revolution, you are either so poor that anything is better or you better be on the short list of elites that will get to grab power and rebuild the country, otherwise you are going to suffer. Maybe your kids will be better off... Maybe.
And yes, there are also independence wars, but those are different from civil wars. The US is independent, Americans don't consider themselves being occupied by a foreign entity.
Generally speaking what follows a violent revolution is usually a few decades of war, poverty and tyranny.
It's quite unlikely that you'll be better off in the 2-3 following decades than when you started. After that, it's anyone's guess. You might be better off or worse off, depending on the ability of the new government
The 30% it's always been the standard though, so not just Valve. That figure comes from retail, where 30-50% is still standard practice. You could argue that retail has higher costs, therefore needs the higher cut, but when Valve created Steam, they probably went with what worked.
What I really hate about Steam and all online shops, is that you can't resell something you purchased second hand. If I can resell my physical copy of a game or movie, I should be able to do the same with the digital version. Also the fact that they can remove access to the product you bought whenever they want. In my opinion, we need a law that specifies that what you buy is yours, and you get to do whatever you want with it, even if the manufacturer doesn't like it.
