And this isn't a commerical airliner but rather a proof of concept that something can fly. If you want quick re-charge then you should be looking to batteries. Heck you can automatically swap the battery packs on 2 teslas in the time it takes to fill the tank of a landrover.
Your big sticking point seems to be the easiest of all the engineering problems to solve.
that a big part of the practices of the USSR were actually fascist
If you jump from that to "OMG fascist" then we shouldn't continue talking without you sending someone who can translate english to your native language.
The rest of your post follows from this inability to understand the fundamental point that I've been making since my first post. So go back to the top with your nominated translator and start again.
No, the key statement is "Out of China". Even if the number is 100% of products there's nothing about moving to the USA. If there were they'd be shouting it from the hills for brownie points.
And while you're quick to criticism those two also spend far more money on green initiatives in the USA. Point the finger all you want, but what the future is likely to hold is a case study in how you can lift your people out of poverty without emitting what the USA does.
The first mover advantage works just as much for innovation and technology as it does for crimes, legal loopholes, and industrialising a nation.
...stuff that doesn't work, like emitting less CO2. We can't. We continue to show it, over and over
No. We need to *start* trying. The only thing we continue to show is that we don't give a shit. It's the "I'm all green and ecofriendly but man my house is 22degC OMG, why isn't the AC running" attitude.
No the GP was right for everything except (as usual) the use of the term "free market". The "perfect market" is what he GP is referring to. The internet *was* a perfect market early in it's life.
People often confuse the terms and freak out at the idea of regulation. The reality is for their "perfect market" to exist regulation is a must as the "perfect market" is a "free market" at it's most unstable point. A free market on the other hand will tend towards monopoly and consolidation of power, and the natural endgame of the free market doesn't solve any problems in a way that benefits society.
Mandarin has 5 tones (4 + neutral) Cantonese has 6 tones.
Chinese is far more difficult to write speech recognition for.
The only way it wins is in terms of accents. Being a tonal language there's no room for accents to mess up the language. You're either saying something in an understandable way or you're not.
What is easier for Chinese is to create a computer based voice synthesizer since tones and individual words stand on their own.
Many of these anecdotes do come from the types of people with incredibly high net worth in the USA for a reason. That upper tier is mostly staffed by narcissists and an old guard. The fact that people will back stab each other over positions doesn't change the fundamental cultural difference between the USA and China.
In America a request for innovation flows down, now depending on the size of the company this often results in naval-gazing and pointless alignment meetings to drive buzzword so the buzzword buzzword, but ultimately it falls on the lower. Instructions are often generic, and down the line people are left with a wide scope of how to achieve the overall goal (usually to make more money).
In China the same instructions will be very specific. They will filter down unquestioningly to the person who ultimately needs to carry out said instruction. They won't entertain the idea of deviating or making a better way. There is no disagreement and if it doesn't work people clean out their desks.
Pointing out a few anecdotes from the USA doesn't make it remotely the same. There's a real cultural difference that you're ignoring.
HP turned down Steve Wozniak's desktop computer idea, and he had to quit to pursue it.
Not the same thing. There's a big difference between rejecting ideas, and a bottom up request for ideas. Just because the former can happen in the USA doesn't mean the latter doesn't. Mind you it definitely doesn't in China. You do what your boss tells you, no more, no less. If you do more and it fails you will get fired. If you do more and it works you tell your boss who will sell it as his idea to his boss, who will sell it as his idea, etc etc etc. This is not just related to innovation, it is also directly related to routine work as well. The idea of helping someone (even your peer) is taboo as it will result in that person losing face higher up.
While I worked in China we took to stealing work from those people who were falling behind because they refused to ask for help. I think the person was genuinely confused at our western ways and did not acknowledge that he didn't do all the work at all, until he was very drunk and we were alone, at which point he in the most literal sense bowed down before me.
Perhaps the idea of challenging the boss or elders is somewhat more accepted here, but you usually have to kiss up to those who control your paycheck in any business.
Again there's a difference between challenging your boss, and helping your boss challenge the ideas that the systems in place are not perfect. "Continuous Improvement" exists in America (and in Japan as well since that's where it ultimately came from). Not so in China.
I think it's easy to fix - stop making interviews an exam.
I can't speak for other companies but in every hiring activity I've done the "exam" is not about the right question. We also make this clear up front and last time we ended up hiring graduates we hired one of only 2 people who got the engineering question wrong. The difference was as he was trying to solve it he was scribbling on the paper and showed perfect thought process on how to approach the problem. Ultimately he drew some components in the final picture backwards.
I quizzed him on it on his first day of work a month later. I asked him if he simulated what he drew when he got home, and he said "Yeah it would have caught on fire, I'm surprised you hired me."
I'm used to seeing a minimum grade cut-off at companies and if you passed that grade it is never discussed again. It's just like the old "Hello Doctor with Honours and a mountain of certificates, do you have a Bachelor Degree? Good you have not been automatically rejected!"
Japanese culture is still "uncomfortable" with foreigners moving to Japan
No they aren't. As bad as it sounds they are uncomfortable with *specific* foreigners moving to Japan. Americans and Europeans generally don't need to worry too much. Actually unless you're Korean, Chinese, you have a year around tan or if you feel a compulsion to lay down a rug and smash your head against the ground 5 times a day while facing northwest then you'll be welcomed in general.
But your culture thing is true in general of all countries. We typically like absorbing the good and not the bad. In many cases we spend so much time focusing on the good that we don't even understand the bad until we're forced to (e.g. move there).
There was the "Quality," initiative. We had big "Q"s on our coffee cups, attended Quality seminars, had to read books about it... I got so fucking tired and annoyed with that concept.
Are you part of the Microsoft Windows 10 upgrade department by any chance;-)
Then came that motherfucking "Mission Statement." Marketing spent millions carefully drafting and refining that piece of shit.
Now careful. Mission statements are a fundamental marketing tool direct primarily at those who serve to inject large forms of capital into a business. It's right up there with the details of the logo design and often pays for itself however ridiculous that sounds. Also remember that the oil industry is swimming in cash flow so these initiatives are easily paid for. The worlds most expensive logo redesign: BP Shield > Helios.
Anything else just demonstrated that we were deceptive and we were spending the client's money on non-productive wheel-spinning.
You're clearly too level headed and logical to work in marketing:-) (This was not an insult by the way)
You realise that what was practiced in the USSR didn't even remotely resemble the theoretical principle of communism and instead like in many countries resembled a wide mix of different political philosophies right?
What you're describing is fascism. What you're also describing is that you seem to not know that a big part of the practices of the USSR were actually fascist and that raw communism fails due to being an economically unstable form of government incompatible with human tendencies to compete with one another for power which is why despite every intention always will be mixed with another political philosophy.
Homer said it right: "In theory communism works. In theory!"
Just the same bland formulaic action and explosions over and over again.
Ooh oooh oooh. I can play this game too. I'm tired of superhero movies because it's just a bunch of pictures played in rapid succession on a television with sound in the background.
There. I'm an even less nuanced movie viewer than you!
You've got a causality problem. And your timeline is off since you happily seem to be ignoring "censorship" prior to the NN discussions. Mind you since you're talking about "censorship" I honestly wonder if you have any idea what net neutrality is or why it is being discussed at all.

Some sunscreen would do ;-)
The USSR was not fascist.
Let me quote myself to you:

It's a passenger airplane. 650 miles is basically useless.
Maybe if you're trying to get across the Atlantic, but a significant chunk of passenger airplane traffic in the world is short local hops.

Yeah but the sun is nuclear power. ... and it causes cancer.
Trump had nothing to do with it. The official was grabbed during his audience with Xi
Error . Error . Does not compute.
Yeah but your government has abs so it gets a tick in my book.

You can buy salt by the bucket from Alibaba. A company whose market cap is about to surpass that of Amazon.
Salt is healthy in this regard. But taking don't cause yourself blood pressure issues just because of Jhina
health care in this country is fine.
Healthcare in America is FANTASTIC. It's the financial care that you require afterwards that lets the country down. :-)

How is that different in the USA?
