  1. "Capitalism aims to get profit by paying labor less than it is worth." No, capitalism tries to collect more money compared to the money required to pre-finance industrial production.

  8. >They imported all the technology from Japan, And Germany (ICE) > To be fair their did build the Shanghai maglev They bought the technology from Germany. I love trains. I think public transport is a great idea. The maglev never was a great idea. Maybe the Chinese were the only one dumb enough to buy it? * Not much faster than a train. A train can run reasonably at 300 km/h. Maglev can run reasonably at 400 km/h (most of the time it runs 300 km/h in Shanghai) * Maglev Requires new infrastructure * Maglev requires new technology (switches have never been built) * Maglev is not meant for cargo. This means you would have to sustain two different infrastructures. TLDR: Maglev offers few advantages but at the same time having many disadvantages.

  12. The Internet did not kill Playboy. Playboy killed on Playboy Is Featuring Naked Women Again -- After Dropping Nudity a Year Ago Due To the Internet (nypost.com) · · Score: 2

    The Internet did not kill Playboy. Playboy killed itself. I once knew a girl that worked at Playboy. She told me that by far, the majority of employees are women. I am not surprised. As far as I know, the DAUGHTER of the founder is in charge of the magazine but I may be wrong. So women writing and designing a magazine made for men. Not surprised this is heading for disaster. If I remember correctly, they once showed Marge Simpson (from the comic series) naked. I mean, really? Besides that, I find the pictures overly artistic and photo-shopped. Pink and Amy (English site seem to be discontinued) has often nice picture. Just an example (not a very good one): https://www.amypink.de/2017/01...

    Thanks.
    How do you do this with the ISO? My windows experience seems like 1000 years old. At that time you could use CD ROM emulators.
    How do you do this? Or is windows 10 able to access ISO files?

  14. BTW, what CHEAP options are there for x64 Tablets? on The Reason a Surface Phone Won't Fix Microsoft's Mobile Problem (windows10update.com) · · Score: 2

    I never really had the use for an tablet and hence don't own one, except a old B&W NOOK ebook ready with Android.

    Now, what I would really like is to use

    1. [Preferably] Ubuntu on a tablet to run wine and use RosettaStone for language learning

    2. Use Windows to run Rosetta Stone.

    This may be an option in the future: https://www.codeweavers.com/po...

    But currently, what are the options for CHEAP x64 tablets?

    I wish I could buy the cheap AMAZON Fire but RosettaStone won't run on it. The Web Version (Android/iOS) does not compare to the computer version.
    Any suggestions highly appreciated. I am willing to root the device.

    Well, my HP48G is sitting at home. On a daily basis I use a HP48G Android App. Same thing. HP Prime looks interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... But I guess I am fine with the HP48G Android App and Sage Math Client App: https://play.google.com/store/... Yes, it was a nice calculator. But in theses days I don't need a calculator anymore. Neither do I need a watch or a camera. All these things a sufficiently done based on my needs by my Android phone.

    And also, Microsoft? My Washing Machine will show a blue screen? WTF! I would prefer a washing machine with the following features: * robust, reliable technology * fair to competitively priced * Using hardware like Arduino or Rasperry as the controller. * Using some flavor of linux if using Rasperry.
