Aluminium - High energy requirement to make initially however once made cheap to recycle also someone scared people with aluminium causes Alzheimer's
Paper Bags - Think of the trees damn tree huggers don't realise we grow trees for the purpose thats partly why they stopped in the first place the other nowhere near as strong especially when wet
Glass - it became a weapon plus its weight increased shipping costs
Plastic solved many problems however it created new ones
I noticed something the other day when an actual Paper (the dead tree kind) was in front of me (McDonald's of all places) I actually read it cover to cover skipped the parts that were not interesting and it was not as stressful to read as an online version with its blaring video ads etc and crap the news and articles were fairly current and I wasn't presented with clickbait headlines which lead to pages full of ads and an article which is nothing like the headline. On the real paper I even read a few ads that were of interest instead of trying to close them quickly to uncover the article. to me it almost seemed as if the best articles were in the actual paper and the internet version was for some less discriminating and facebook from what I have seen is one big Advert.
Additionally Universities are now full of left wing SJW doing degrees that are totally useless and no longer being taught to think and question lest they should be called a climate denier, a racist, a nationalist and if your a male likely your a rapist who can't keep it in their pants
Also the ramp up is fast for anyone with slightly more intelligence in a trade additionally they often go into business for themselves quickly and the lack of decent trade workers currently means plenty of work
Also the imported Full Fee Paying students are now degrading once prestigious degrees and universities in some countries. The university keeps the student and continuing fess if they get a passing grade guess how many of those just pass. Australia once had free university degrees and the quality was high as you only received this education if your HSC score was above the cutoff point and places were limited by the estimate of what is needed in the future. This meant a poor person who was capable got through with no future debt.
Agreed, However it might cure porn addiction when you get to see what the actors/actresses really look like in detail, or maybe the Japanese need the higher resolution to get rid of the pixelation problem on their porn
First teach your kids that most of these toys are fads. you don't need to see that concert at $500 plus per ticket. and you certainly can wait for that "must have" latest fad, chances are if you wait a week or two your desire will change and eventually you will train yourself not to rush at things. Then these people who run the bots will only have the extremely stupid to make a profit from who will eventually run out of money.
A good IT consultant would have switched off automatic updates and then organised that they happen when the company is closed.
Second they would determine if windows was really needed i.e. is there some software which can't be replaced and must use windows sadly this happens more often than you think. I have greatly reduced IT costs by replacing any machines that can be replaced with a Mac leaving only those running specific software on windows
They almost got people to buy content when it was just Netflix now I need 5 services to get the 5 shows I watch it's not that important to me I'll wait for free to air or other free ways shows I really like I'll get the bluray on special or support them in other ways. When Hollywood works out that what they have is entertainment and therefore a luxury and not essential to anyones life, then maybe they will understand the piracy and why many don't feel the need to pay.
Can anyone who does work for these people who want royalties, sign contract demanding a unlimited royalty for their work for life plus 90 years ?
A drug dealer could have a great credit score so would a crooked business person who rips off their customers. So yes it it has little to do with morality I know a few small business people who struggled to pay off all sorts of debt but they did it despite the discomfort it brought to them financially as their morals could not let them sleep until they achieved that.
It just comes down to Cost vs Benefit vs bragging rights e.g. Fusion power while there are cheaper energy sources it is no rush to make fusion power except bragging rights at the moment same goes with Quantum computing if the benefit could be defined as giving a nation a really good advantage it would have lots of money thrown at it which would then attract more people to work on it
Hmm when you deal with foreign companies you should slap some of the same rules they apply in their countries try owning 100% of a company in many countries. Personally why not look to an American company and give them a subsidy after all isn't it being paid for by the American taxpayer for their benefit.
In Asimov's Empire books, when a society no longer recalls how to repair something, it is a sign of societal collapse.
I would add not knowing how to make from scratch or the inability you might have the materials however without the knowledge of how to put it together or worse not knowing how to grow food or where it comes from. and don't say I will just google consider where that information is kept and who controls it and currently how polluted it is with garbage data.. Lets hope they don't burn down the physical libraries just yet
But in fact, as he pointed out, repairing things is often trickier than making them
Most people don't have a clue how to repair anything lets take your average mechanic. How many times have you had your car fixed only to have the problem return soon afterwards. Of course when the school dropout goes to mechanics class he is taught a few things however most lack investigative thinking. you walk in say you hear a rattle. after several hours (they said it took them that long) they found a bolt that was loose and tightened it. Very few of them question how or what caused the bolt to get loose. Of course the cause makes the bolt go loose or something else to fail, lather, rinse, repeat, and now your car is designated a lemon.
I find this too common across any kind of repair they fix the symptom not the cause
Nor are they advocating that the JEDI program should not exist. There message is simply that they do not want to be part of it.
And these are the first people that either beg to be saved or just roll over to the other side when things go bad. If you don't want to be part of it and support your own country go to that country you do support and live there. Just a few questions in which country were these people born or from what nation are they descended from recently, doesn't Microsoft like importing workers? Is it these workers making this letter?
It's happens naturally as populations join the first world. Japan's population is shrinking and much of the Western world would be experiencing shrinking population without immigration (immigration increases population now- and immigrants tend to have more children than people who have been living in the West for generations).
Yes now why can't those countries that are growing way to fast start reducing like the western countries as for economics requiring population growth. No, what we need is a way to sustain our comfort levels and start creating more instead of playing games on our phones. the robots* \have done well for us so far and will do even more in the future
*robots include things like dishwashers previously done by house staff, think about it.
That is true of many startups not just robotics occasionally you will see them on places like shark tank germ of an idea partially built with the help of low paid, if paid at all "friends", They look for a big payday on the stocks hoping someone will be gullible enough to invest.
In the past they relied on pre-orders now they just go for the IPO, or crowd funding sites. The thing to look for is how much of their own money and time went into it.
This guy on the other hand relied on a sale to china a country where people are cheaper than a robots running costs most of the time and a country known for promising to buy and not going through to either screw the price down or once they have your sample copy it, and occasionally these days offer to buy you out, go figure after the lost sales you will be a lot cheaper.
What the **AA's couldn't do Bit torrent wants to do, kill file sharing the whole point is to share the files and help each other for free we all end up paying something already in electricity equipment space etc. Please note whats killing the web is people skewing the web results due to paid advertising imagine getting paying money for a file only to learn it was my little pony or worse instead of the documentary you were after
So the promoters get control back, by paying the streaming services to insert their songs in to unrelated playlists.
That way one unintentional partial play counts as much as a psycho fan listening to the same song on repeat 24x7
As long I pay once only for when I request the song and they should only count requested by user if a promotor wants to pay for advertising thats ok too
Also go back further they only got paid once when I bought the single, LP, cassette, CD they should only count once per user or per household like before

No, not at all. The methods Hollywood uses to guarantee there are no profits .
If they want fair protection they should pay their fair share in taxes
