I can't wait until we put whalers on the moon

So we have clear examples of American bullying. Do you have examples of Chinese bullying?

As someone within that community: it demonstrates the "publish or perish" mindset. Without enough publications it becomes impossible to get funding to do your research. Thus, the incentives are there for producing more publications and not better research.

Unsurprisingly, encouraging greater throughput results in greater throughput. And without proper support quality suffers. For example, a large portion of research is done by underpaid graduate students.

Its that using an extra step in the process (producing energy + CO2, then using energy to remove CO2) is going to increase entropy more than not producing CO2 in the first place.

Economic viability is separate and sometimes related to things like this.

Its irrelevant to the economy (in the short term at least) whether a process is efficient in terms of energy or resources. What is relevant is whether or not something can be done for either small sums of money, or sold for profits. More likely both in a capitalist style economy.

Note that it does happen in some cases that using less energy/resources is more profitable, but the driving force, again in a capitalist style economy, is the profit.

Obviously, its in the name. Checkmate

My father in law kept using "raw-dogging it" when we last moved. For example:

Should we strap down the couch? Nah, just raw dog it.

But is that enough? I rarely trust industry standards.

The Chinese get it; never talk to cops.

Sounds like Mexico, Canada, and China should write their own trade deal

A bench which increases your intelligence to 30 so long as you're sitting on it. It isnt so heavy that it can't be picked up, but it is quite cumbersome

Physicists abhor a black box. So long as it is an option, most will choose not to use AI to any great extent, and will chastise those who do.

Much more likely to be because their wages will be less artificially inflated once the number of doctors increases. Its the same in Canada. We limit the number of seats, rather than admitting all those who qualify to be doctors, and we have need for.

Gotta love bringing everything into the market....
