And different opportunities, going MIA on a construction site is suspicious, but during war? Who can tell whether they defected or died?

We have this:

What will you do in 2100?

At the time most Americans were farmers. Can't be Sunday because it's a Christian rest day, Wednesday neither because that's market day. They might have to travel a whole day to get there, so it can't be on Monday or Thursday either. Which leaves only Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.

I personally don't see/experience any of that either, but ask some "native brown" (adopted/2nd,3th generation fully integrated/...) whether they have the same experience and you'll likely get a different answer.

So instead of spending 1 day writing good code, we'll be spending a week debugging shitty code. Great.

There are also women who have XY chromosomes, but they don't have receptors for testosterone. They can even have very high levels of testosterone but it doesn't do anything, why wouldn't they be able to compete as women?

And why would having an uterus and being able to give birth naturally even matter? Are infertile humans not allowed to compete in the Olympics?

There are other options as well, approval voting has several advantages over ranked choice voting. It is simpler and it there is no spoiler effect (voting for your favorite candidate will never hurt your second choice)

Security software are also "apps". Since Microsoft is also in the security software business locking down access for their competitors could definitely be seen as anti-competitive practices.

Apple doesn't have a monopoly with MacOS so other rules apply.

From which size is a country too big to operate as a single country? I think cultural identity is much more important than size, and the Chinese government has put a tremendous effort in culturally unifying the land with great success (and great cost; see Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, the relationship with Taiwan, loss of local languages and culture). I don't see that disappearing anytime soon.

A civil war with a stalemate is of course possible (in fact it's already the reality), but an USSR style collapse in many different countries is just not something I can see happen.

I'm the first one to hate on the CCP, but people have been saying that China is going to collapse anytime now for 20 years.

The demographics are a real problem, but nothing that will cause an immediate collapse. Housing, youth unemployment and inequality are real imminent issues, but the CCP has survived much worse and I think they will survive this as well.

Economical they have made some good bets, investing in solar and batteries, for that alone we should hope they don't collapse, it would be a setback of several years or maybe decades.

I believe China will more go the way of Japan, stagnate but not collapse.

Honestly, I've used some pretty decent AI chatbots. They can help you with basic questions and contact you with a human for things that require it or if you ask for it. Chatbots that don't let you talk to a human on the other hand, those are awful.

LFP is actually a relatively old battery technology, it's only now that the patent is expired that it's starting to breakthrough (outside of China, they somehow got a license if I understand it correctly).

How are they planning on sending over any significant manpower and supplies across 2800km?

Rail? They border Russia and there's a railroad over the border

That's what I thought too, but according to Sabine Hossenfelder there actually is, we just choose not to speak about it. I don't really know enough about quantum physics to make my own judgement.

You can use banktransfers to sell stuff. Otherwise I think there are only country specific platforms.

Full price? Paying extra for someone to ruin your pants and their lungs you mean

Why?

No it's not?

If you read the article you would have seen Linux is supported
