They will always have slave labour as an “unfair advantage” (to use management-speak euphemisms), so prices might remain low.

And don’t forget the whole evocatio thing where they literally claimed to steal other people’s gods

So most people officially didn’t care either way. That doesn’t make it better.

Healthcare in China:

public health insurance generally only covers about half of medical costs, with the proportion lower for serious or chronic illnesses.

China’s commercial health insurance is also proliferating. In 2020, the country’s commercial health insurance premium income amounted to 817.3 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 20%.

As of 2022, enrollment in China’s nationwide healthcare system is almost universal. However, these plans generally provide low levels of benefits.

It sounds somewhere between Germany and the US with Germany already being for-profit friendly for European standards. I.e. forget about “to each according to their needs”.

Exactly, 7 is a boy in continental Europe, but Anglo-Saxon soyboys transgenderized it into 7. (/s because I’m sure otherwise someone would take it seriously)

And have you seen their healthcare system? If Marx came back from the dead he would die from an heart attack when he found out about the CCP.

If anyone else offered to pay what Google pays Mozilla would drop Google like an hot potato (like they did Yahoo).

So I wouldn’t count on any mythical alternative unless Microsoft decides to waste more money promoting Bing (which wouldn’t really be an upgrade privacy wise).

Then why don’t these search engines pay for being default?

Are there any indie studios complaining about the S? It’s usually a throw 100 monkeys with a typewriter unmotivated developers at an AAA game type of problem.

Google paradox of tolerance.

If you know you hit a parking lot 500m east of your target you aren’t going to miss the next shot.

That the exact location of where rockets land was always treated as sensitive information everywhere to make it hard for the other side to adjust their targeting? During WW2 the British government went as far as coordinate fake news about where the V2 rockets landed with the media to make it harder for the Germans to hit anything.

Unfortunately, despite its name, it’s a Thirth Generation Programming Language (you asked for it).

Ironically, the article claims the opposite - having sporadic (as opposed to regular or no) sex can trigger an heart attack.

So just don’t things half way.

Reading the actual article , it seems that the issue is doing some… strenuous physical activity when you are not used to it can trigger heart attacks.

It naturally contains some of the buzzwords of the time, such as fourth-generation programming language (4GL). If you’re not familiar with that term, suffice it to say that the Wikipedia page lists several examples, and Cobol has outlasted most of them.

Lots of 3GL outlived most 4GL languages, C, C++, C# Java, Ruby, Python, and even newer languages like Rust and Go are 3GL. In fact so did plenty of 2GL (assembly languages).

Programming language generations are about usage and level of abstraction not about being obsolete.

Look for example at the EU Sanctions, they impact around 270 individuals and organisations, but allow Iran to conduct legitimate business. The problem is that 80 million is relatively easy to pay in the middle of some of the legitimate business.
