Lets presume this thing retails at - very unrealistic low price - of $500. How many people would buy this weird thing per month - even at this low price point? 10? 50? 100? Imagine you're an engineer and your competency…
If China government kickstarted their EV sector (along many others) and enabled them to be competitive, strong and dominating. That means the Chinese government is doing a really good job. I really hate this argument…
Difference between $1 and $.10 is always irrelevant unless you're mass manufacturing, which I presume you aren't on a remote island. Plus, arm cortex-m0+ cores aren't $1, they are also available in $.15-$.30 range.…

No, the currency has value only in as so far as you can buy stuff you need with it. Lets say you're Germany, US imports make up only 6.9% of total import value(Netherlands is 7.1% and China 12.5% on top) closely…
US monopoly money has value mainly because of petro dollar. Once that wraps up, US money will be not much more than toiletpaper. And that is wrapping up because world has like ~60years of oil left at current consumption…
I wish we were at the level where some doofus has red too many "Gang of Four" "Design Patterns OOP" bullshit books and gone to town. Because that would be way better than what we have now. Whenever I run a thing and…
Man, every time where there's a Chinese product category you realistically can't compete with - it's always some excuse of - because Chinese state is subsidizing it and supporting it. All it does is simply makes the…

Yes, yes, Christians will "strive" to do better, but never really have try that hard, because you know, it's never gonna be "good enough" anyway, therefore accept that you will do "sometimes-woops" fucked up things, and…

The problem, fundamentally, is that unlike a computer program that won't compile if there's syntax errors, or that will crash on null pointer dereference, etc. There's no such mechanisms in place to ensure logical…
If they take the most absurd interpretation or nitpick about irrelevant details that doesn't take away from the crux of the point you're making - and that's the best they can do - are they really intelligent? Or are you…
The frustrating part about arguing - on the internet: 1. Infinite supply of people. 2. 90%+ of times before you get anywhere, you find out the person doesn't have "what it takes". At minimum you have to filter out 90%+…

"money can't buy happiness" is a poor mans cope. It's a comforting lie for proletariat, the opium for the goycattle. If you can't buy happiness either one of these is true: 1. You don't have enough money to buy it.…

Yup, and there you go confirming beyond sliver of doubt that you're a genuine, certified "akshually" type redditor. Fundamentally incapable of distilling the substance of the argument, and always latching onto any…
