Guys, it would be way cheaper to spend the money on education than by re-engineering our food into suckitude or to enforce some political ideology on all of us.
You severely overestimate the average person's capacity to learn.
I don't say it will happen in the near future. However I see only 2 outcomes: 1, China will speed up R&D and doesn't need to rely on cheap labour to remain competitive, basically having a similar economic portfolio as the developed states. 2, China will keep the yuan cheap indefinitely, and it's workers poor, and the current situation goes on forever; however I don't see why they would choose this.
The differences that anger Big Content are that Canadian ISPs are less likely to give up IP addresses due to issues of civil liberties and that the blank media levy places infringement for personal use in muddier waters.
Well, it works similar in a lot of European countries. (Hungary, Spain etc.)
Well, the manufacturing jobs will come back eventually and the price of work unskilled work be somewhere around of the average of US and Chinese wages.
That's exactly why the republicans would prefer to let African children starve to death rather than provide food aid. Some people just have a greater sense of responsibility for the suffering of others, and that is what fundamentally separates progressives from conservatives.
So you know how much of that aid is paid to local militias for protection money? Africa would be better off without the aid.
I don't know a great deal about industrial robotics, but I'd suspect it's a game for specialists simply because of liability issues - it's bloody dangerous if done wrong.
And because those robots are expensive as hell... Most industrial robots work with at least 0.1 mm precision.

Warning! Smugness overload!
And we knew all this, without him doing the experiment.
Wow, with such a username! Trolling just got to whole new level!
Street smarts doesn't mean good grades.
Port forward? (extra NAT config)
Oh, those Chinese servers just can't wait to host your business-critical data.
tl;dw

ZOMG! Heisenberg uncertainty principle for food!
When you make aid in dollars, that's a problem. When you make it in food, at worst it spoils, but hopefully someone eats.
So that you only kill the local markets, sending them into dependency.

Wooosh.
Well, people still eat gorilla meat and aren't jailed for murder. That wouldn't work with a human.
Maybe the West should cease to trade with nations, which doesn't observe minimal human/labour rights.
It ceased to be in the 70ies, and before that it was even worse.
I's go with the Scandinavian model. (It's called social-democracy FYI.)
Well, have you ever created a bank account? They won't negotiate the terms, still, we call it a contract.
You mean, no lamas were pwned?
Sapience. If you are sentient you get all the rights of any free person.
Really? Koko, the gorilla can talk with sign language, still doesn't seem to have rights of a free person.
I haven't found antyhing that supports your statements, but I've found this. It seems to contradict what you said.
If you had a turbine in your car you'd right. Piston engines have much lower efficiency.

You mean it's a pain in the asset?
