So every person who has a southern accent is part of:
> I am talking about a group of people who share vile political goals
right?
So are you implying that they only gain the accent when they join this group or that having the accent makes them predisposed somehow to join it, or what?
What makes your diatribe (part II) even more mind-boggling is that this whole discussion is about people who chose to move to some other states. Which probably would make them less likely to support these “shitty ideologies”? That is unless you believe they are somehow predisposed to hold ’vile’ views because of where they were born?
> Guess it's a good thing I'm saying bad things about people with shitty ideologies.
Well you’re implying that any person who speaks with a southern accent is incapable of holding liberal/progressive(?) beliefs? Or that anybody born in “the south” is regardless pf the accent? That everyone who doesn’t/isn’t is a somehow inherently superior human being? It’s hard to say.. either idea is pretty disturbing.
> you wanted to get mad at?
I’m not mad.. just a bit puzzled and surprised that you’re not sharing your thoughts on Reddit instead.
Of course not. It just seems that they might actually be the most transparent segment of this entire system which makes more visible.
And well… from the society’s perspective high/very-high prices for new drugs for a decade or so (20 years seems too long though) might be a good deal if it results in very high investment into R&D.
Would you not expect companies which actually want to make to cores to have an advantage?
And the companies that don’t want to make it their core business but can afford enough resources (e.g. Google, Apple, Amazon) would just use them to leverage their core products.
I could only see this on the lower end where margins/required R&D investment are relatively low.
Possibly, but historically it high end semiconductors seem to turn into a winner takes all market more often than not. If that’s the case it’s probably preferable to have someone like ARM at the top than Intel or Nvidia.
It works when (or rather almost entirely because) you’re in a geographically isolated island.
Maybe the Netherlands could have pulled this of if they really wanted to, like them time they flooded half of the country to keep out the French but it’s not applicable to any other country in Europe
a ‘masterpiece’ is a very subjective term. Most are viewed as such not because of some objectively measurable quality but because of their uniqueness/originality (at the time) and context. In that regard it’s hard to imagine AI could achieve that until it became very good at imitating humans.
But it’s hospitals/labs which are as bad or much worse in this regard. “Greedy” pharmaceutical companies are just a boogeyman, insurance companies, hospital admin and doctors are just fine with charging “random”/arbitrary fees based on clients perceived ability to pay and not in anyway related to actual costs.
Just demand/supply I guess. Semi-conductor companies need just a few (even if extremely talented) engineers compared to software. The industry is also very concentrated and not growing that so not that much competition for employees.
