From what I understand the abiotic ways that methane can be produced involve geologic or seismic activity which is not something that we have observed on Mars. Also, I thought the thin atmosphere on Mars meant that methane does not remain stable there.

Perhaps the exact conditions that allowed for abiogensis were only present for a relatively short period of time. That would explain why it only happened once. The fact that we haven't been able to replicate it leads one to think that the conditions must be very unlikely.

Also, your argument suggest the reason there are not different genetic structures on Earth is because the one we have came from outer space. If one genetic pattern can come from outer space why haven't others?

Kirin SOCs all use ARM Cortex cores[0]. So, the question really is "how competitive is ARM compared to Qualcomm?" However, since ARM has also complied with US restrictions, it doesn't really make sense for other Chinese manufacturers to use them.

Interestingly enough Wolfram Alpha uses month to mean 30 days and 10 hours(rounded to 30.42 days when displayed) which is 365/12.

`1 month - 10 hours` = 30 days

`2 months - 20 hours` = 60 days

> quality standard of living

How do you define this standard?

> equitable wealth distribution would be much better.

Let me present you with two scenarios, all else being equal, and you tell me in which one people are better off:

1: Every one makes the equivalent of $5,000 a year.

2: 90% of the population makes $20,000 a year and the remaining 10% make $100,000.

> This is how the western world justifies open exploitation.

Can you quantify this exploitation?

>RC was still a bad pollutant, producing 4x the pollution of all the cars in Europe, but by comparison, Carnival is pumping out over twice as much.

Why is this? Does Carnival have many more ships, or less efficient ships, or run their ships more often?
