The Xperia is much larger than an S3.

Xperia 162 x 74 x 8.2 mm weight 192 grams 98000 mm^3

S3 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm 133 grams 83000mm^3

Tom Nicholas, the interviewer, opens with this:

“Capitalism is dead. Swept aside by gargantuan monopolist tech platforms which seek not just to dominate markets but to own them.”

Varoufakis didn’t say that, the interviewer did.

The classical definition is “worse” than what he thinks doesn’t make someone capitalist. Child labor is capitalism. 6 day work weeks are capitalism. Company towns are capitalism. His argument is based on the indoctrination that everything good is capitalism and if it isn’t good it can’t be capitalism.

“These companies are engaging in rent seeking monopolies so it isn’t capitalism.”

GTFO. That’s the definition of capitalist behavior.

People have been living under socialist controls for so long that they forgot what is socialism. They have been taught that all socialism is bad. It’s like the conservatives who have been living under the benefits of vaccines for so long that they forgot reasons why they are given.

This was shown in BF Skinner’s experiment Pigeon Superstition.

I’d guess cursive and AOL.

That’s a check if you were rich and old.

A roulette wheel gives everyone a fair chance with only the house (stock exchange) taking a cut.

The stock market lets people who make giant bets give themselves an advantage. Also if they are famous or powerful they can announce what they are going to pick which will help make that number win.

Then there are HFT’s which is like if the house let really rich people install a camera tied to a computer and place bets just before the ball lands in the slot.

In the first minute, Dude says capitalists are now acting like capitalists and declares that because of that, capitalism is dead.

I stopped watching.

What has died is socialist controls on capitalism. The public has forgotten the destruction that capitalism causes which required those socialist controls.

US security guarantees are worthless.

The answer is no on the immediate timeframe because current market prices already include Chinese manufacturing capacity. It will take years to build the factories that can bring prices down.

Who is Bubba?

The only thing that would significantly add to the weight is a bigger battery

You said get rid of camera bump. That means making the entire device thicker because of the limits of optics. Batteries are already around 25% of the total weight so doubling battery life would increase weight 25%.

A security researcher had been using online AI as a personal planner and therapist for months before thinking, " Hey maybe my data isn’t private?"

Wtf?

You want bigger everything and less weight.

Biden falls off bike.

Press: “Biden is too feeble to be president.”

Meanwhile Trump is so feeble he can’t even attempt to ride a bike.

Yeah and mass manufactured CD’s are physically stamped into aluminum and then covered in polycarbonate.

In 20 years some new type of degradation might be observed and people will say, “Oh yeah, we didn’t think of that.”

For example the etching could start micro fractures from repeated heating and cooling that happens over the long term.

Like Verbatim’s 100 year Azzo DVD media that failed in 10 years?

Or 1000 year CD’s that failed in 3 because a manufacturing defect that let moisture into the metal layer?

It saves screen space but uses on average the same memory. Variable names aren’t preserved by most compilers in the binaries so it doesn’t matter how long you name them.

A EU ruling does absolutely nothing to remove Putin from power.

The EU has already ruled that Putin’s actions were illegal in 2022. Russia needs to be defeated.

They trade with him opportunistically,

That’s all trade. Trade supports countries economically.

They will throw him under the bus the second there is an incentive, and will probably benefit from it

That’s capitalism.

How about get Russia out of Ukraine before declaring victory with plans to arrest Putin?
