  • Yeah it's often overlooked that one of the main struggles have been local infrastructure and production to make African countries self-sufficient. And with over a decade of Chinese infrastructure like modern roads able to handle trucks being built, and removal of these tariffs. It opens the door to expand production and long term growth.

    There are of course negative aspects involved, but it's still a potential game changer when it comes to global trade and production.

  • If you go by the early versions he is limited by his physical doll-form. He can't fly, teleport, drive, etc. and he's not really that strong, or fast.

    If you knew about him and that he was coming after you, it shouldn't be that difficult.

  • It's not about shortages, it's about labor. They're bringing back the "company store", they'll get import excemptions and similar and force people to them and lock them into a system they can't escape.

    It makes it so people can't save money, can't move, can't rise in the class system, etc.. They can only work.


    Edit for clarification: Around the 1900s and earlier, some companies would pay salaries in company credit, not cash. The credits could only be used in the company store, not the general store, or other company stores. So they were literally unable to save up any money or do anything but keep working for the same company until they died. And this would be easily implemented now, by giving company stores special benefits in terms of tariffs and regulations. Forcing less fortunate people into was if effectively servitude.

  • Him, RFK, the other heads of departments and agencies they've instated, etc. are mostly just morons put there to take the blame.

    And media(social and traditional) is eating it up, constantly mocking their stupid statements while ignoring the real scary stuff being pushed by the people behind them with the money.

    It's just back to projection about "the swamp" and billionaires controlling politicians.

  • The first comment worked as bait, but that last question is way too obvious.


    Although just for fun:

    Then Python is not a scripting language.

    That is true. It is often used as one, but it was developed from the start as a general-purpose language.

    Would you consider C to be more or less complicated than Perl?

    You know about Python, Perl and C. You know the answer and you're just trying to incense people.

  • Do you know what community you're in? Do you want to start a war?


    There is no clear definition because there is a lot of overlap, especially when you get into the details, but:

    • Scripting languages are often considered to be very high level and can commonly run without compilation. Making them great to automate tasks or create a simplified interaction/abstraction layer to a more complex program.
    • Programming languages usually have much lower level access, and by extension they tend to be more complicated. In exchange for that, you get much more control. Although the access varies from Assembly to languages a C programmer would consider "scripting".

    Although for every example, there is basically a counter example. Because programmers being who they are, see it as a challenge to do something with a language that others consider impossible or wrong.

    For example, there are things like NodeOS, a "Lightweight operating system using Node.js as userspace."

  • They got the data they wanted already.

    Three months of civilian employees reporting on their tasks each week. They were literally mapping out the internal military structure of operations. And the media is glossing over how Russian IPs have tried to log into DOGE accounts with valid credentials.

  • There's a company that does mirror polishes of them. I remember seeing a clip from some car show. They'd done a dozen or something, and it was mainly a guy just sitting there using an angle grinder and a big buffer/polishing wheel.

  • An unbelievable amount of material thundered down into the valley

    Yeah, watch the video if you haven't. That was huge.

    And it's not over: The material is positioned such that it might block the river and flood the valley. So more people have been evacuated downstream.

  • Ishii Shiro is a prime example.

    He was the head of Unit 731 and did things like live and unanesthetized vivisections on people, bioloogical weapons testing on children, etc.. Which is among the milder things. The US made a deal for all his data, and he lived his last years in peace and anonymity as a free man. He actually worked for free as a local doctor for a period.

    If you look up information about him in Japanese sources, most of it is apparently all about how was such a nice man who helped people, and basically that he did a little oopsie in the 40s.


    Yes, the science was valuable,

    That's one of the worse parts, they didn't really gain any of the knowledge they hoped for:

    However, the information obtained was not of significant value, as the U.S. biological warfare program had surpassed the capabilities of Unit 731 by 1943.

  • That's the thing, they know that. Trump just thinks he's "winning" as a master negotiator.

    There are a bunch of smart people who know what they're doing, but they're pinning all the blame on the useful idiots like Trump, RFK Jr., Leavitt, Bondi, etc.
