I know one engineer who bought the Meta glasses due to the form factor. For others with the Go Pro, they usually mount the cameras on their hard hat, which makes it easy to see since black hard hats are rare.

And part of the Republican panic about demographic shifts making their party unelectable was Texas.

Texas being a battleground state for Republicans could doom the party to generational minority status.

You aren’t a Turk?

It depends on who.

For immigrants changing their mind, they are either going to approach it as moving back to their old country or being an immigrant in the new country.

For most native born Americans who I know who did or will, they will also likely self identify as immigrants.

It will be the elderly moving to Latin America to retire who will likely refer to themselves as “expats”.

I’m surprised there haven’t been more shootings of the wealthy since Luigi given the positive response to him shooting a health care millionaire.

Outside of signals intelligence, what benefit is this going to have for South Korea? Canada had a decent military, but it is a shell of its former self.

I don’t know if it is pointless, but it didn’t serve its intended function.

It a lot of ways, it is like the King’s speech in the UK, which lays out the political agenda of the executive rather than comments on the current status of office.

Too bad they only did President’s questions once.

I feel like it’s a continuation of what we’ve already seen with digital animation. You can do traditional ink animation, but no one does it any more because digital is so much cheaper.

This is typical for international sporting events.

They tried teaching Spanish in my elementary school with videos that no one paid attention to. A lot of schools don’t even go that far.

But if you’re looking at an American choosing a language based on potential job opportunities, Spanish is likely going to offer far more upside than French unless that American has certain ties which would make French more relevant to them. For large parts of the USA, knowing Spanish will be more locally relevant than knowing French.

It isn’t saying that French is a bad language for Americans to learn, but that most of the country would likely see Spanish as more economically useful.

But we’re talking about economic utility. Quebec isn’t Canada; it is much smaller.

In contrast, Mexico has a GDP near Canada as a whole and there isn’t a bilingual legal framework to support business deals. Furthermore, there are more Spanish speaking countries to make deals with in the Western Hemisphere; the closest that French has is Haiti.

Quebec isn’t Canada.

Having to get documents translated is a cost of doing business in Canada. You don’t have to speak both languages to conduct business in Canada.

They could, if they were economically relevant on the continent. Spanish and Portuguese are far more relevant when interfacing with international trade in the Western Hemisphere.

I pointed out cultural reasons for maintaining a language as well. The USA, as a country, has no current cultural reason to have portions of the country maintain a different language.

In American banking companies, Vice President is usually the first promotion you get.

They are buying the Mac Minis since they are a cheap way to run a server where this would work. They aren’t create a safe environment for AI, but an access point on local hardware.

Program? Like a fucking farmer?

It’s already used in construction as a documentation device. Photos are big as a documentation tool and some inspectors already use wearable cameras as a tool.

It hasn’t really been an economic necessity or cultural priority like other countries.

Most countries who have a population who speak more than one language usually either have a variety of languages spoken within/near the country or rely on ESL speakers to participate in the international workforce.

With English being the current lingua franca, Americans already know the current dominant language. There is really only one major language which is relevant to neighbors, but Americans are usually in the more dominant economic position and there is a cultural aversion to adopting Spanish more.

I also feel like the problem with starting with Marx and getting into socialism as a government type is that Marx was an economist writing about economic forces while a lot of his work has been coopted into political theory.

Which makes discussions on government structure hard with a lot of leftists because once you remove discussing the economics of a society, having a discussion on political freedoms only becomes very problematic.

For instance, I saw some English speaking communists discussing a Chinese analysis of their government, which the analysis states that the Chinese government isn’t a democracy. It is true, China would describe itself as a technocracy, with trained political leaders in charge who are shielded from disruptive democratic whims. However, you could see the issue of them accepting that political power should be held only by elites.
