Are people buying a vehicle from tesla expecting a toddler's version of what a built car would be, or something that actually competes with the guy writing the doctoral thesis?
In real life, Tesla competes directly with all other automotive companies building consumer vehicles. Therefore no one cares if they're a "toddler" in your eyes or not. They have to perform just like everyone else in the field. Competitive production has nothing in common with child rearing.
This is the original statement on which conjectures are based on:
>Department of Homeland Security acknowledged that last year it identified suspected unauthorized cell-site simulators in the nation’s capital. The agency said it had not determined the type of devices in use or who might have been operating them. Nor did it say how many it detected or where.
This statement suggests that someone in DHS Washington actually checked with every single signals intelligence agency in the country to ensure that whatever they found isn't one of their own.
Considering the competition between various agencies within the state of US, I strongly suspect that what actually happened is that they couldn't get anyone domestic they asked to admit to having planted whatever they found, so they're working on assumption that it must be foreign by default. While it's most likely planted by one of the agencies, which may not even know it's theirs on the top of bureaucratic chain, must less be able and willing to pass this information on to DHS.
The easier thing to answer the first one would be to go around it the opposite way. They have almost nothing that is worse than what you do in US when it comes to e-commerce, and almost everything better. Wechat payments are universal and easy, deliveries are extremely fast taking hours rather than days within major cities, availability is "everything you see on aliexpress, amazon, etc and then some" and prices are excellent.
It's economy of scale, and China has incredible megacities and produce most of the things locally, so many of your orders that have "x days to deliver" because they're not in storage - they go straight from manufacturer's storage output in China with minimal logistical overhead.
About the only thing that is worse is availability outside major cities. Especially in rural China in the poorer regions, lack of paying customers causes problems with deliveries. And of course you have to watch out for crappy fakes, but there's the exact same problem on amazon.
As for bike sharing, they have so many of them, they literally have to clear them out to make room for new ones. There are huge landfill-style dumps full of nothing but those bikes of older models, supplanted by the newer ones. They're completely universal, and this universality is actually a problem, because they tend to get dumped anywhere and everywhere. Forbes had a good story on the problem here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/y...
Firecrackers aren't good either. Just like nukes. More stupid comparisons to follow, because really, most people in Soviet Union during Stalin's era who were FREE would love to go to a modern US jail. It would be a marked improvement. You could actually say the things you think, and not end up fearing that for doing so, you or your family will just vanish one day, and no one will know what happened. Which most likely means they'll be enslaved at work camp, worked to death if they shut up or freezing to death slowly in front of the people who all tell you that you're evil for doing so and therefore deserve your fate if they dare to say anything about system not being perfect.
Best killing efficiency so far is not in the hands of national socialists, but communists. Read about Pol Pot. He wiped out a third of his nation in just a few years. Not that you would do that, as that would force you to face just how monstrous and bloody the path you're walking on is. And this discussion demonstrated just how invested you are in walking this path to the bloody end.
On the bright side, after the institution of the order you're seeking, people like you become primary target for being too intelligent. Can't have equal outcomes when some people are better at thinking that others. Therefore, such enemies of the people must be purged for utopia to come. In the end, you will be the one standing in the snow in the work camp, because you dared to state things actually on your mind at some point, and someone overheard you.
That's the way it always ended up for intelligencia in socialist systems. And does to this day.
I already addressed your illegitimate appropriation of terminology to justify socialism above in its entirety. As you presented nothing new and just more of the desperate attempts to maintain the lie, there's nothing to add.
Population decline refers to the decline of the existing population numbers. If you weren't a complete idiot as you have demonstrated to be above, you would understand what that means.
Actually, even a complete idiot would understand, because that was literally what the Chinese officials were openly aiming for and got it.
You really don't understand anything about demographics and how they work, do you? You genuinely think that expanding absolute numbers of middle class in the past generations are more relevant than shrinkage of the next generations of consumers for future potential?
Bitmain, the dominant maker of bitcoin mining ASICs was recently reported by analysts to have completed a prototype for Etherium mining. It's what took a good chunk off Nvidia and AMD stock value a few days ago.
Tentative release date was Q2 2018. Give it a few months after that to proliferate and increased hash rate of the network will render GPU mining a waste of time and energy.
If you think it murder capital, you need to read Gulag Archipelago. I'm fairly certain they do not kill people by working them to death in temperatures below minus sixty degrees celcius, on a starvation diet, while demanding complete and total ideological obedience. Where one word of critique leaves you with no food and housing, until you freeze to death.
And where nubmer of deaths was so great and irrelevance of human life so total, historians still can't agree even on how many zeroes they need to add to the end, nine or ten. Regardless, it was far more than nazi death camps.
I think it's very obvious at this point that you're a true believer. You just said in the other thread that socialism is acceptable, as long as you get to redefine social democracy to actually mean socialism. So my words and claims don't matter. You'll just say that words don't matter, because you can redefine to mean something all together different as you see fit.
Hint: when people object to socialism, they don't object to grouping letters "s-o-c-i-a-l-i-s-m". They object to the ideology, that has been tried countless times in twentieth century and demonstrated itself to be by far the bloodiest and most monstrous ideology know to man, eclipsing even the nazi ideology with ease. The sheer ability of this ideology to corrupt people to do terrible things throughout the society is what people object to.
Think about what you just said. You just said that socialism is ok, as long as you can change definition of social democracy to mean socialism.
There's a reason why Danish PM had to correct Sanders. Liars like him and you, who try to push murderous ideologies into realm of social acceptability by inventing new meanings to existing words should be called on it. Every time. Because such monstrous people should be called that which they are - people who walk the same murderous path and those before them walked.
Unless of course, it actually managed to hit the structural weak points as happened in examples I cited, and not just get super lucky as it did in that case.
I understand that you work in environment where people lie about the definition, as you already expressed with your opinions on Sanders.
Many people around you lying does not magically make their statements true. No matter how many times they insult people who actually are social democrats with their attempts at pretending that they are social democrats rather than socialists, as Sanders did in that one example.
I do understand what you're saying. That's why I'm recommending Gulag Archipelago to you. You will read about a very specific group of zeks who are just like you as described by Solzenitsyn. To a tee. They walked the same path you did, and they were just as confused as you will be one the utopia turns on you. And then, you will undesrtand.
And one last time. Stop pretending to be a social democrat if you agree with Sanders. He is not one. He's a socialist. He lies about being a social democrat, as demonstrated by his lying about Denmark.
No you idiot, not depressurisation. Catastrophic loss of hull integrity. Look up why windows in modern airliners are rounded, and how early de Havilland Comets that didn't have them had a tendency to end up.

Mr Sanders, we're not a socialist country. We're a market economy. Please stop lying about us and equating socialism with social democracy.
Your lying may work on adolescents in US, and that would be damaging for Nordic states in the future. Thank you.
I already addressed your illegitimate appropriation of terminology to justify socialism above in its entirety. As you presented nothing new and just more of the desperate attempts to maintain the lie, there's nothing to add.
To top off your utter idiocy on the very basics, you even went ahead and assumed my nationality.
Cherry of opinionated ignorance on top of cake of mind numbing stupidity. You win.

Except for knowing how to make entertaining videos obviously.
How much do you get off on not reading it, because you're afraid it will demolish your ideology?

Have you ever heard of "one child policy"?
Guess which generations it crushed in size.
Today you also learned that explosions are really hard to defend against in civilian aviation with methods designed to alleviate known stresses.

Are you familiar with Einstein's definition of insanity?
I'm fairly certain that letting insane people rule is a bad idea.
It should be required everywhere where there is oxygen, because oxygen is known to cause cancer.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to find that someone marketed such cigarettes considering this:

No you idiot, not depressurisation. Catastrophic loss of hull integrity. Look up why windows in modern airliners are rounded, and how early de Havilland Comets that didn't have them had a tendency to end up.
