Now this is innovation.
I'd argue no state has any shortage of money, not only PRC. Financial capital in fiat systems is factually unlimited. The ability to direct it in areas of public interest instead of private financial capital's owners' interest is what the PRC has over many others. The real limits are the real resources that are needed for that industry and a major one is highlighted in the article - the lack of expertise. But this exercise, along with investments in higher education and pushing boatloads of people through it are building that real resource.
I hate that too often politicians base their decisions on what could happen in futire elections.
I struggle with this point. Isn't respecting their constituents' democratic wishes their civic duty? Isn't this exactly what you'd want from a mayor or city councillor you voted for? If she steamrolls her voters, they'll elect a John Mandatory who promises to listen to them and they'll reverse the zoning changes. On one hand what constituents want could be counterproductive, on the other, going against their democratic wishes is also counterproductive. The only case where I can see steamrolling them is if you can make a change so quickly, so that they see the material benefits from it and change their mind as a result. Otherwise I think you have to get the democratic buy-in from people for the changes you make. E.g. work with councillors to propose solutions to what people resistant to density are afraid of, or give them something in exchange, in order to get enough buy-in so that that changes and likely you survive the next election. Meanwhile rezone parts of TO that aren't as opposed to density.
But make no mistake, very few people want construction projects going on around them for years, without anything to soothe the pain. If you tell them you'll freeze their property tax for 10 years because the new development would pay more, then they may be okay with listening to construction noise for a few years.
I don't mind construction noise too much but if I had the choice to have it or not have it, and didn't see a good reason to have it, I'd vote for peace and quiet. Now I do see there's a good reason so I would've voted pro-density if I was in TO (am just across the border in Peel), but the west end of TO around me is full of "Fight the Height" and "Stop the Lot Split" signs.
Private companies typically also distribute ownership via shares to people who are therefore shareholders. They're just not traded publicly. AFAIK only firms owned by a handful of people might use a different scheme, depending on the jurisdiction.
Makes sense. They make startups, many startups fail for all the reasons highlighted. Some don't. That's the point of using competitive forces to create an industry when you don't know how to do something well. They did it with their EV industry, among others. I think they're finishing the competitive stage where many firms fail and entering the consolidation phase.
Lidl is better for Lidl's shareholders and Aldi's better for Aldi's shareholders.
A significant decrease in the amount of surplus value society produces going towards tech companies producing proprietary software, whicj is most of them. Basically the costs of using software for a whole lotta things are gonna get lower. This would make that society's products cheaper for itself and export. It would allow its labour to do more useful things, one of which could be new FOSS software. But also helping out with the green transition, taking care of the ageing population, education, etc.
Or join the US as the CHERISHED 51st STATE, and then the smoke would be AMERICAN smoke and ket me tell you - don't we love american smoke!

Where did you dig up this ancient post from.. 😄
But yeah things aren't going spectacularly. A Kier Starmer scenario looks more likely at the moment.
All-in, I wanted something on the order of 1MB for client app, server, all dependencies, everything.
Okay that's gotta be radically different!
I was thinking along the same lines but then I thought about other neighbouring countries like Lebanon. Being recognized states didn't stop Israel from doing whay they did to them. Not saying there's no difference, I'm just not sure what the practical difference is. I'm probably ignorant.
Some hopium here.
Actively dismantling international law, I see.
Well, you gotta start it somehow. You could rely on compose'es built-in service management which will restart containers upon system reboot if they were started with -d, and have the right restart policy. But you still have to start those at least once. How'd you do that? Unless you plan to start it manually, you have to use some service startup mechanism. That leads us to systemd unit. I have to write a systemd unit to do docker compose up -d. But then I'm splitting the service lifecycle management to two systems. If I want to stop it, I no longer can do that via systemd. I have to go find where the compose file is and issue docker compose down. Not great. Instead I'd write a stop line in my systemd unit so I can start/stop from a single place. But wait 🫷 that's kinda what I'm doing isn't it? Except if I start it with docker compose up without -d, I don't need a separate stop line and systemd can directly monitor the process. As a result I get logs in journald too, and I can use systemd's restart policies. Having the service managed by systemd also means I can use aystemd dependencies such as fs mounts, network availability, you name it. It's way more powerful than compose's restart policy. Finally, I like to clean up any data I haven't explicitly intended to persist across service restarts so that I don't end up in a situation where I'm debugging an issue that manifests itself because of some persisted piece of data I'm completely unaware of.
Sorry, why do the bags have to be wet? Does the wetness affect the intelligence of a bag?
This has been a pretty educational moment ngl..
You said Trump bus originally. We were on the American bus, not the Trump bus. Once there was a change of driver to Trump, we got off at the next stop, as you pointed out.
Also most Canadians didn't love PP either. Instead we were united in hating Trudeau, which is why the libs started climbing in the polls as soon as Trudeau left the room. Before there was a new leader.
