He campaigns for high inheritance taxes on "wealthy landowners". This forces family businesses to put their property on the market, which no-one else but people like WB can afford.
It's deliberate. Sounds just like PPI (Payment Protection Insurance) in the UK for loans and mortgages. Banks charged you 1% interest of your outstanding credit card debt as a form of insurance that if you were to taken ill, and couldn't work, the insurance would pay 10% of your credit card bill each month.
But the banks continued to increase credit card limits to take advantage of customers when they were short of funds until they were in a debt trap where the most they could afford to pay matched the interest being charged. Worst part was that they used confusing obfuscated English language for the opt in box. Sometimes a sales agent would tick it anyway in order to get the commission.
Good job cochlear implants are wireless. Anyone who had an cochlear ear implant using a headphone jack wouldn't be able to use a patch cable to connect to future Apple iPhones.
I thought the target was Saudi Arabia. Drive down the price of oil, so that they are forced to dip into their savings and rainy day funds. It might take a few years but eventually they will be living hand-to-mouth in terms of bringing money into the country.
The side effect was that Venezuela also suffered a loss of earnings from the oil industry. There was a national strike, the government punished those oil workers that supported the strike, froze wages and fired experienced workers like geologists. Now with that knowledge lost, the replacements make mistakes when drilling which causes damage to machinery. which causes further loss of productivity. So oil production is in decline.

The quickest way to make any applications unmanageable and create employee churn is to use as many languages as possible. Even the introduction of a scripting language, triples the complexity of the code. First there is the regular C++ code, then you need binding layer to map the internal variables to the script language, then there's the the script engine, the scripts themselves, unit tests for the scripts. This gets worse when other language engines like Java, QML, Python gets added. You end up with these areas of codes which become no mans land that no-one really wants to maintain. Then when an essential new feature is added, they have to grab whoever is available at the time and force them to work in that area.
They were around at least a decade ago. I bought a novelty watch that needed a SIM card and could make phone calls. The only problem was that the screen was so thick that it had to be detachable to recharge and would get pulled off just by general movement of the arm.
I always wondered whether it would be possible for a driver to visualize the state of the traffic lights up ahead as an street map with an icon for their car, little icons for the state of the traffic lights and the roads coloured in red/green/yellow bands based on how fast their car was travelling.
Try living in an apartment next to a busy road used by double decker buses and trucks used to transport demolition waste. Your windows get covered in soot and dust on a daily basis. The soot even gets through the gaps in the window frames.
Chatbots try and parse natural language text like a programming language by breaking sentences down into pronouns, nouns, verbs and adverbs, so something like "I really hate mushrooms" gets parsed as I really hate mushrooms . Some words are preprogrammed to help with pattern matching like I, then, you, me.
Then those new words get added to internal lists, which are then used to generate random statements to continue the conversation in the future. Some statements will have an automatic response with particular pronouns and nouns replaced.
It originally started with the original valve based TV sets. In order to tune your TV into the radio transmitter signal, you had to adjust the very basic radio reception circuit boards which themselves gave off harmonic signals. Due to negative feedback loops, you could end up jamming your neighbors TV set. So "TV licenses" were invented. You got a little card to fill out with your name and address, and if anyone had problems with their TV, the technicians would know where to look. And it was convenient for the authorities to keep track of technology and to keep the BBC on a leash.
The freakiest thing I saw was a gardening show when the JPEG blocks from the flowers got transplanted onto the faces of the gardeners leaving just their eyes and mouths. I had nightmares for days afterwards.
It's kind of funny. My dad used to have a large boombox style AIWA radio which took all types of metal oxide tape cassettes. There were different types of metal oxide tape, which by adjusting a particular level would provide optimum sound quality. When these appear on collectors pages, they don't know what all the different levers are for.
A long time ago on USENET, people claimed that they could improve the signal/noise ratio of their CD's by painting the rims green with a magic marker. A pen called Balonium was the one that the "experts" recommended.
I remember that. Bought a TV card from Dixons, had to fill in the pink form at checkout. Got the spelling wrong, and of course my address received a notification from TV Licensing. Fortunately, already had a license. But changed rented apartments anyway.
Whoever is in government, dislikes not knowing what the proles, grockles and minions are grumbling about. So they try and pass these laws to prevent the use of encryption. Then they are the ones to get upset when they discover that the mail servers in their offices have been hacked, putting private correspondence with constituents at risk.
Workstations had this problem in the past. Every application, command line utility, shell utility was statically linked to whatever libraries they used. Every command line utility ended up using 10 megabytes of storage or more just for the standard IO libraries. So they invented dynamic linking and that saved a large amount of space by having a single copy of every library in use in memory. But then applications end up using hundreds of different libraries on both Windows and Linux. Then leading to DLL Hell when they don't match (32 bit vs. 64-bit, 4K vs 8K kernel space, instruction set extensions).
In the UK, we have Freeview "digital" TV. The old analog terrestial signals were shut down and everyone forced to get a digital decoder box for reception. They also had to get a larger aerial plus signal amplifier. The good side was that you could get dozens of channels, but these varied from region to region as different transmitters carry different stations.
Linux does have digital TV and you need a USB DVB-T signal converter in order to receive and record video on a Linux PC. That requires a channel scan to be done first (w_scan). https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/i...
Some USB receivers have mini antennae, but I've never found them to work in any location, not even in the countryside or a downtown hotel.
They would just put you onto an automated answering system and lead you down a maze of different questions, before reading out a disclaimer, the latest news, then putting you on hold. They would claim that was customer support.

Latest mobile phone watches have their own GPU's to do the rendering.

Google or Amazon could use cloud computing to transcode the video stream before it's sent to the mobile device. Problem solved.
But it is really hit and miss as to whether it would work or not , depending on whether you were on a high floor of a building as well as on a hill.

In the UK sense on internship, it is after an international student graduates but before they return home or take up an offer.
Only those non-Muslims that haven't started families need to leave a particular area and it is guaranteed to become majority Muslim.
Mainly it was for international students from India and China wanting to work for defence industry companies.
