Sure, but even stupid peasants are mostly literate (Google says 96% literacy rate), and of course with written Chinese, dialect isn't really that important.
And of course they want phones, to talk to their cousin/son/whatever that manufactures iphones for $.50/hour in Shenzhen.
Except weight is determined by how many calories you intake, vs. how many calories you expend. Gut bacteria may be an important issue, diet soda may hurt these gut bacteria, but that's an unrelated issue. However, clearly your logic is faulty, as insulin is well-known to suppress appetite. If you knew the first thing of what you were talking about, you wouldn't have said that...or claimed that weight is caused by the actions of magical gut bacteria...
> If you want a "reliable" smart phone that doesn't need reset or suffer stupid ass software failures, get one of those $50 Samsung android smart phones.
Some of them don't have a forward-facing camera, but generally speaking they have the same OS as the lastest and greatest from Samsung, and can do *everything* that any other Android phone can do.
1) This is the US's fault! Even left-wing politicians would be right-wingers in Western Europe. 2) This is the US's fault! Broadband adoption areas in rural areas are not nearly as good as those in Western Europe. 3) This is the US's fault! Copyrights go on for WAY too long. 4) This is the US's fault! Yada Yada Yada
Well the $60K figure isn't fair- that's the (low end) cost of a Tesla, which is a genuinely nice car, something you might compare to a BMW. They also sell several electric cars in the $20k-$30k range - they're about as comfortable and safe as any other car in the price range.
SUVs aren't necessarily the huge behemoths they once were. The current big fad in SUV's is small crossovers. For example, the top-selling car in the US is the Honda CRV, an "SUV" that's something like a hatchback Civic with raised suspension. It gets 29mpg, which isn't too bad at all. There's a large number of these SUVs that get mileage in the upper 20s/gallon.
These extra's aren't really required, but things like the cost of private tutors, of having a computer at home, of doing after-school sports, of school supplies...certainly if you didn't pay a dime you could still fully attend school. But these outside expenditures do help students.
Oh come on, there were about 500 scapegoats for Columbine, and a "pro-jock, anti-nerd bias" was definitely one of them. Simplifying it to that is just more of the same old shit.
In California, schools get equal public funding, it's not derived from local property taxes. On the other hand, rich school districts can expect to earn more in private fundraising, and can more realistically require students to pay for "outside resources" like money for field trips, a computer, etc...
97% of the difference between good schools and bad schools is family background (education, income levels, parent availability). If the student bodies of a poor school and a rich school exchanged campuses/teachers, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the educational results of the students would remain basically unchanged.
I am a ham radio operator, I have a significantly higher chance of survival than the rest.
Yeah, keep rationalizing your weird 1970s hobby, nerd.
There is about a one in a billion chance that it will save your life (I really think this is a realistic figure), and you put a large amount of time/expense into it. Imagine if you put that amount of time/money into, say, a health club membership. Or extra doctor visits. Or healthier food. A safer car. This would have a much larger chance of actually having anything to do with how long you live.
The market has already decided, and that's why the FM band is being closed.
Of course there will always be s few stragglers, the way some people (myself included) still shoot pictures with film. In this case, the public has an interest in the underutilized radio frequency, so instead of entertaining the stragglers, they open up the frequencies to people who will use them.
WTF? How much does it really matter for a somewhat independent game studio to be on the same time zone? This isn't finance or news. And the significantly higher cost of transportation? Really? That hasn't held back China from shipping to the US (shipping prices are miniscule), and anyway of course this is all being sent over the internet.
Australia has a small population (23 million, less than metropolitan Shanghai) and higher education is lacking, of course it would be more difficult to have a competitive software company there.
So, from looking at the first few pages of google results, the only example is Resident Evil: Afterlife? That suggests it's a very uncommon practice...
Examples? The only movies anybody cares about are Hollywood movies, Hollywood TV shows, and Youtube commentators. And I can't imagine any of them using a Segway.
It seems to me the difficulty in precise camera control would make the Segway a poor choice for the purpose.
And you keep it from raining, ever. Even if it's possible on nice days, it has to work on every day of the year to be a real alternative for daily commutes.
Except, churches aren't busy doing business and earning profits. They survive off the voluntary contributions of members, who have already had this salary taxed. Why should the government tax it twice? Clearly (from an accounting perspective) it wouldn't be double-taxed if church members just individually bought things for the church they attend.
Money contributed to the church is money pooled in aggregate for the benefit of the contributors, and really no different. Churches do pay tax on income from rental properties and the like.

Maybe I'm confused but it looks like that diagram shows salaries in the United States are five times higher.
I believe that there exists a reality in which Stephen Hawking is called upon to become the new lead singer of One Direction.

Oh come on, people will take their entire family out in a car all the time. A family of six really does need either a van or an SUV.
And renting an SUV is expensive. It's not really an option to do that regularly.

Well to be fair, the local school actually kind of sucks already. I wouldn't let my kid go to a 6/10 school, anyway, and I'm no richie-rich.

I basically agree, but I'm not sure I understand the relevance.

Corporations do business and exist to make profits?
Non-profits don't, and similarly don't get taxed.
And because this is Slashdot: who said corporations pay taxes? (+5, Insightful)
Except, churches aren't busy doing business and earning profits. They survive off the voluntary contributions of members, who have already had this salary taxed. Why should the government tax it twice? Clearly (from an accounting perspective) it wouldn't be double-taxed if church members just individually bought things for the church they attend.
