"Windows laptops are a comparable price." I understand and agree with your general statements about the need to compare apples to apples (pun intended). However, I simply disagree that Apple apples and Windows apples sell for anything close to the same price. If you go via the traditional rip-off sales channels, IE Best Buy and the Apple store or the Microsoft store, perhaps they are closer. However, If you go via newegg, tigerdirect, amazon or any of the multitude of other slaes channels from my experience you can find Microsoft equipment that has equivalent "spec numbers, plus build quality, weight, size, screen quality and battery life" etc etc etc for a fraction of the price of Apple equipment.
Windows and Mac are the same, the only difference is you will pay 1/2 for a Windows laptop.
The only real advice I have is that any of the big box stores and Apple are just flat out lying to you about the CPU/HD/GFX needs. They are vastly overselling products and ripping people off. I consider BesyBuy and Apple etc rather immoral for their completly unreasonable suggestions. Grandma does not need a 32 gig octocore desktop to stream netflix . Your kid will be able to do just fine with something around the $500.
Also gaming on a laptop is nonsense. I know I made that mistake a few years ago when I went away for collage. The ergo dynamics are simply not there. Gaming on a laptop is like taking a go-cart on a street race
Most of those would be good reasons why YOU would want to convince the states. Those are not reasons why WE should listen. We laugh at your idea that you will stop buying things from US. There is no utilitarian reason for the US to adopt it. This is a classic tragedy of the commons issue and there is no credible punitive action coming as such there is no reason to change the game theory results.
In the heart of urban centers, yes. This solution is targeting people in the sprawl around them which often has 2-10 units in a building. These currently do not have the infrastructure you discuss. The owners of these properties are actively modernizing their entrance way offerings with digital solutions but can not afford the expense of a doorman. This specific solutions is a great fit for them.
A defining hallmark of civilization is an increased GDP per person
As such i offer incontrovertible proof that urban areas are in-fact the bastions of civilization in an ocean of uncivilized savage sub-human populated rural communities.
The R2 of.45 for urbanization vs GDP/person is as closed to definitive proof as possible where one can not do double blind studies on the nation state level.
One of the main causes is that overseas transcripts are often outright lies. Bought and paid for, no questions asked.
I have had many classmates and colleagues over the years whom I trust who were originally international transplants. Each any everyone of them when asked about the credibility or overseas transcripts of resumes has simply laughed and indicated they have no credibility. One of my friends recently had an issue with someone he hired from his own school back in India. The resume turned out to be fake, and the person who interviewed and showed up on day 1 were different people.
Agreed, this is nonsense. When I was programming I used compilers, I sure as heck was not a compiler expert. At best I could be an expert in using compilers and that would be fine.
Even with teams as large as they are now in common environments, you can afford to have one expert at compilers creating your optimum build packages
It should even be uncommon to have the expert utilizing the technology they are an expert at building. Those roles are often separated out for good reason.
NYC has always existed as this transient location, where people are born and immigrate to, then leave. This has been the situation literally the whole existence of the city, it also seems to have done the best for itself out of any American city.
If Eroei is being used as some kind of economic efficiency metric, I would have to agree more efficient is better, but being honest I don't put much stock into a metric that is not a well defined and measured standard. Beyond that, this non-standard metric seems to fly in the face of every standard metric ive seen, which indicates cities produce much more economic activity than they consume.
"Yeah, us hicks in the sticks is just dumb fucks soaking it up at the public trough! " Yup!!! With direct welfare recipients, they at least know what they are doing. Rural communities simply do not, they were taught a myth since childhood that they somehow how are the "producers" in society. Unfortunately all the economic stats point otherwise. The rural communities are a rot, merely existing to cripple the economic powerhouses that are America's cities.
O I am sure there is, however, due to the economics of scale in auto manufacturing the production will get locked into the same small cartel situation we have now, just new names and faces. Having the right to use your own car like that will quickly get EULAed out.
As someone who actually tends towards socialism in many spaces, autonomous cars taxis seem to be one of the few areas that will manifest many of the advantages of capitalism. Except it will play out slightly different. You nor I will be allowed to use our autonomous cars for taxi services, due to the EULA. We will still,however, see a fair amount of competition between the Ubers and the Fords of the future economy.
"As someone who lived "in the sticks" and saw a huge amount of my tax dollars going to fund projects in the big city," That is as close to an outright lie as you can get.. Rural populations get confused easily. They see large projects in the cities and think their money is going towards it. The reality is they pay far less taxes than than the get back as far as subsidies and the city folk pay far more than they get back.
Food prices for American cities would likely be lower if we did not subsidize the sticks. The United States has meaningfully high tariffs on many food imports. This is again done as a subsidy to the sticks people. Additionally the farm subsidies are yet another way we waste money on rural populations. The city folk would be much better off if they could just purchase their food directly from other locations and did not have to deal with the albatross that is rural America.
"Say that again after you learn that we had to pay to install the phone wire from the closest aggregation point to our demarc and I'll laugh at you."
While you may have had to pay some, Civilization likely had to pay orders of magnitude more than you to make that an option. This is a common fallacy in the sticks, they seem to think they if they paid some they paid all. lol
""Package delivery" is not infrastructure. Roads and electricity and water are infrastructure. A dirt road costs a lot less than a four lane city street. Above-ground wires cost less both in hardware and in easement costs. Water is not an infrastructure cost at all in the sticks." Yes the systems used for package delivery are part of the infrastructure. I am sorry but a "package delivery system" is simply a accurate use of the word infrastructure.
"the basic physical and organizational structures and facilities (e.g., buildings, roads, and power supplies) needed for the operation of a society or enterprise."
I have never once seen someone reference "energy return on energy invested of about 50:1" factor for any kind into the viability of a city. Is there any literature that uses that metric seriously?
"The population of the New York region still grew 2.7 percent from 2010 to 2016, thanks to foreign arrivals and births, records show."
While it is an interesting anecdote that there is meaningful amount of migration out of NYC specifically, those individuals even according to your own source are moving to other slightly less large mega-cities. Even with that, the area is still growing. Your conclusion that somehow NYC is decaying seems erroneous in light of its net growth.
With the growing gap in wealth the mega-cities have compared to rural populations and the growing cognition that the rural populations are an albatross more situations like Catalan will arise. Within a generation or two we will likely see a resurgence of the mega-cities colonizing the surrounding peasantry. The rural populations have nothing of value to prevent them from being made subservient. The end state will probably look something like China' two class citizenship. The city folk with have rights and prosperity meanwhile the rural population will descend further into abject poverty as the population has outright failed to invest in education,infrastructure or any other parts of civilization.
Close enough. A supporter would at bare minimum be actively engaged with the campaign there was/has been no suggestion that the adds swayed anyone with a real commitment to either candidate.
"2) This means Clinton was so unlikable, America wanted a "retard" over her. Again, not very good position for liberals and democrats."
No what it means is Clinton was so unlikable, Retard America wanted a "retard" over her and due to an archaic voting system they got their way despite Non-retard America voting for Clinton.
That is not a logical interpretation of the presented theory. The presented idea is that either individuals stopped voting for HRC or started voting for Trump because of facebook and youtube ads. Either way by definition those people would not be Hillary supporters. Also considering a large majority of people still voted for HRC, the use of the term "typical" would also be incorrect. By chance are you retarded?
There is article after article after article, all indicating that costs per person are MASSIVLY higher in the sticks and the communities and their people are a net economic drain. The science is in, and has been for a while. The sticks are a huge albatrosses on American society
While I have no idea if your numbers are correct, or even close to correct. But you fail to even consider population density. Given those numbers (if they are correct) it is still very easily to see how the city results in cheaper service per person.

The answer is, it is harder. Some day. We are just not there yet. It is just easier to automate most low talent/education jobs.
