This statement is true, but it doesn't interact with my point in any way. I'm not suggesting that there's little to no rent controls in the area. I'm suggesting that current rent controls are insufficient.
Or are you suggesting that the real estate boom in the area is comparable to the rest of US? Because that is the suggestion needed to make the argument I think you're making.
You make a snarky reply that indicates that we are talking about different things.
I ask you to elaborate on the premise of your question so I can answer it in a way that you want.
You refuse.
I ask you again, and explain why you will have to elaborate if you want an answer. Several times.
You consistently refuse, instead going straight for personal attacks, insults, and essentially the standard "I don't actually have a solid ground to stand on, but I don't want to admit it so I'll just stonewall" narrative.
I point out that since you're consistently refusing to elaborate, I cannot provide the answer.
You make an accusation that I refused to answer your question in the "did you stop beating your wife" style.
I point this out.
You go back to refusing to elaborate and accusing me of not answering the question which I answered, and you indicated that I did not understand the question correctly.
There's a reason why you come off looking like an asshole throughout this conversation. Because you are consistently acting like one. Redeem yourself, and actually elaborate on your question so I can answer it. This is the last time I will ask for you, as I do not see any way to get this conversation to continue otherwise.
Did you seriously miss the "absolutely massive success" post I was replying to? Yes/no?
I'm FF ESR user. Looking for something to switch to after ESR axes XUL. If you even remotely think me a fanboy, much less a fanboy for chrome, you need to reconsider your logical processes that lead you to this conclusion. Something has gone awfully wrong with them.
It is factually obvious that small company has much less ability to "shit all over your privacy" than a conglomerate like google.
If you don't understand this, I can't help you. Mostly because I can't come to your house to help you to tie your shoelaces, and other basic domestic stuff that people this stupid have problems with.
Of course. Because they're Chinese and the system favours them in some ways. And there's still no redress if you have been actually wronged by the system.
Did you not notice at all that my entire complaint was about the fact that people here do not even understand that the system is dramatically different, and as such not comparable?
You're still missing the forest for the trees. In US, no matter how horrible you view the "racist" offences as, there's always systemic redress available. Even for foreign nationals who commit serious offences. The legal code and court system actually grant people inalienable rights and when these rights are violated, redress through judiciary is available.
In China, not only are abuses far more horrible, but there is no redress whatsoever. If you're a foreigner in China and you get in trouble with the system, no matter how arbitrary it is, unless you're an A-class foreigner under new rules, you'll either go to jail, or get thrown out of the country and banned from re-entering, or both. If you're A-class foreigner and your Chinese sponsor vouches for you, you may be able to be spared the consequences, because that is how legal system works in China.
Same question for performance. I missed it in the previous post. Mea culpa.
The sentence should have been "is there any evidence at all that chromium isn't stable enough or that firefox too slow for overwhelming majority of users?"
Browser usage trends show across the board that FF57 release did absolutely nothing to change the trend of firefox's slide into oblivion in terms of people using it, or Chome as well as Chromium derivatives absorbing those leaving it behind almost entirely.
I agree completely, which is why I cited these statistics. Now consider the context of this thread. The entire point of quantum remake was to reverse that trend. Instead it continues. And Firefox fan above said that this is an "absolutely massive success".
So if the "absolutely massive success" is continuation of downward trend to oblivion, Firefox's days are truly numbered.
Not in China. Issues I'm talking about are in your face in such a harsh fashion, you could not avoid them without living in a literal ivory tower.
The fact that you cannot even imagine a society where these issues would be so "in your face" that you could not ignore them if you had to live and work within this society, even if you maintained your general social bubble merely reinforces my earlier point of your deep naivete on just how different China is from US on the most basic levels of human interaction.
Either you have a memory of a bird, or you are evidently wilfully malicious yet again, as you should be well aware of how this thread started.
In my experience, people who are certain of themselves being right are more than willing to elaborate their views when asked. You consistently and repeatedly refused to do so in spite of being asked multiple times, and instead went for ad hominem attacks, and now pointed malicious misrepresentation.
Frankly, you should consider going back to your parents and asking them for advice on how to talk to people, because it's clear that they haven't taught you. After that, you may want to take some classes in basic expression, as your inability to elaborate what you consider to be "basic mathematics" suggests problems in this subject.
Considering that global world trade in its current form didn't exist until the end of World War 2, the only point I have is that you really should look up the dates on Great Depression and World War 2.
After that, you may want to pick up an actual book on economics of Great Depression and dispel the rest of the weird notion you have on reasons why Great Depression occurred.
Gotta say, if going by current metrics of browser usage you label the dip that happened after FF57 release a "success", I guess firefox's days as a browser with any significant webpage support are truly numbered.
In China, on the streets a black person is automatically a suspect. You won't just have problems with police. You'll have old men from the age of Cultural Revolution who will follow you when they see you on the street, and when they think you're doing something suspicious, they'll report you to the police.
Who will likely detain you for a few hours for questioning.
The fact that you think even remotely that US is in the same ballpark when it comes to human rights as China, or heck, playing the same game, you're beyond naive. Get out of US and see the world for yourself. Because you're desperately in need of a reality check.
Show us on this doll where your teacher touched you, that you didn't even learn to read the entire post you're replying to before defecating all over the text box.
When you have a thread about China, and you're ignorant enough to make a direct comparison to US and then suggest that US is bad, you need a serious reality check.
I recommend learning basics of the language, and then spending at least half a year living and working in the country. It will give you perspective on just how deeply naive your view is.
She is a politician who has significant understanding of geopolitics, who noted that inevitable geopolitical direction was also tenable in everyday politics.
I still don't see what we're disagreeing on. At best, you're splitting hairs on motive.
In China, black foreigners get routine midnight visits in their homes from the jackbooted police officers. Who will go through your papers and if they find it necessary, your belongings. There is no recourse for this - they are fully within their rights to do so, and you're legally required to register your home address with your local police.
On the streets, it's not just the police who'll grab you every once in a while. The locals themselves will do it. Actively. Blacks are treated like complete and utter human refuse in China. If you're black, you should learn the basics of the language and then visit for a few months. You'll find out what word "racism" actually means.
P.S. Just how pathetically insular are you to think that people who come from outside US and aren't just cursing US for being bad are "Russian trolls"?
In China, if foreign person (not suspect, just person) is black, police will routinely visit his apartment in the middle of the night, and spend an hour or two going through his papers and his belongings.
Process repeats every few months.
You US folks really need to get out of your country to get some perspective if you think you have it bad.
You do not understand systemic differences. In China, law is applied different both on executive and judiciary level. Protections you get in US do not exist. Where protections exist, they are applied selectively.
Example: In US, if there's a suspicion of drug use in a private club, police has to go through a long process to obtain a warrant, and even then doesn't have ability to just mass incarcerate everyone inside. In China the normal way to handle such suspicion is to simply go in, detain everyone and force everyone in the club to pee in a test cup while policeman is watching. And if you fail, legal system will crush you, as China's legal system absolutely abhors drug users.

Broadcom is a Singaporean company that decided to pretend to be US company by moving headquarters specifically to help seal this deal.
Also, anti-chinese sentiments are nationalist, not racist. Conflating the two is a rather basic error.

In context of this thread, obviously not. It merely shows that you're arguing in bad faith.

Someone is looking to get them killed? It's fairly easy to track such devices in a society where community level spying and informing is commonplace.
