Google generates its revenue by selling ads. Their primary reason for doing this is to cut out the competition. Not that I like autoplay garbage, but Google is an ad distributor first and foremost.
Fast food and snacks use sugar and other garbage because those things trick the human body into thinking it needs to eat more. Eating more means more money for the companies selling the junk food.
Growing up I was a fat kid. In my early to mid twenties I reached my peak weight of 245 pounds. Then I changed my lifestyle and now at age 35 I weigh 145 pounds. I did this by cutting out sugar from my diet and exercising 1 hour a day.
I don't judge people by their weight (I was once obese myself), if someone decides they want to eat more and not exercise that's their choice. I do judge people on how they take on their own responsibility. I suggest you acknowledge and accept you are overweight due to your own choices instead of coming up with bullshit excuses.
Free education from a formerly obese man who took responsibility for himself.
A patent give the minimal information needed to describe the design. Real world implementation and manufacturing involve much more than is in the patent.
A Republic is a government based on the model of the post-Monarchy pre-Imperial Roman government. The Romans called this government res publica (thing of the public).
Nations like the US and France that call themselves Republics are based off the Roman system. The US system is almost a 1:1 copy, proconsul = president (but only one), senate = senate, house = plebeian council, augers = Supreme Court, field of Mars = electoral college, etc (the written Constitution and balancing of powers are the significant changes).
There are dictatorships that call themselves Republics because it sounds good (PRC, DPR North Korea, former USSR), but they don't at all follow the basic Roman system and are not Republics.
It will fail, possibly taking their whole country with it if they integrate it heavily. Assuming their over leveraged economy doesn't take out the place first thanks to one belt, one road, one noose.
Of course I am being tracked. I buy from Amazon, I use a smartphone, and I pay for things with a debit card. But in the US we have two advantages:
1) I can choose to use cash, not own a phone, and buy things off-line. Inconvenient, but livable.
2) Of the ten trillion systems tracking me, none of them are well programed, they are mostly full of garbage information, and they are all incompatible with one another.
Great and all until a black swan arrives and invalidates the current structure. Democracies (inc. Republics), for all their flaws, can face a black swan or two as they are designed to handle change. They aren't perfect (Rome's refusal to embrace change and to enfranchise the Italians led to the populist dictatorship of the Caesars), but tend to be more anti-fragile than the alternatives.
Good thing bureaucrats are incorruptible and would never abuse the system for a bribe or petty revenge./s
This will be one of the greatest hacking targets in the world. Not to mention that putting the wellbeing of 1.4 billion people into a database means that even a small error in an edge case in the code can screw millions of people.
Even if you support tariffs against China for their poor regulations and human rights these tariffs are stupid. It costs billions of dollars to make a new chip foundry. Do you seriously think anyone will build one in America before the president after Trump (whether that's in 2020 or 2024) undoes these tariffs? It's not going to force any changes in China, just remove money from the pockets of the American consumer and put it into the pockets of the American government.
So they now need content monitors for the content monitors? Until the content monitors' content monitors sue for their own content monitors. I foresee a problem here.
At least until we train our nascent AI overlords by feeding them an endless stream of bestiality and beheading videos, then all our problems will be solved!
Wow, these guys are hardcore. Their room looks just like a mysql error.
I wish they showed how they did it, maybe I could deck out my basement to look like a BSOD!
And it took only 30 secs for slashdot to bring them down. If the RIAA/MPAA were crafty enough you think they could use slashdot to destroy their enemies.

*Screams are heard 3 seconds later from the poor server, running openBSD on a gameboy, as it melts*
Why waste money on laweryes when one slashdot story will do all you need. And if the site comes back up
just re-submit, and its on the front page again. Gotta love slashdot;).

this is over used and MRSA et al become resistant to it?

I agree, but it's cheaper to produce plastic bottles from oil than aluminum and glass. Not to mention plastic can be moulded much more easily.
An alternative to plastic is needed. Unfortunately, the trend is to just tax oil (effectively a tax on the poor).
Jim Keller (the guy responsible for AMD64 and lead engineer for AMD's Zen architecture) started working for Intel earlier this year.

Good thing we have 80+ chip foundries in the US.

Intel, TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Micron, Samsung, etc all make CPUs in the US. Intel is building a new foundry in AZ as we speak.
I've been in several union jobs. Our unions reps did nothing but leech off our pay cheques. Unions easily turn into yet another bureaucracy.

While we're at it we can design the robots to take food away from fat people.
America was attacked by Japan, how is this an example of American aggression?
