As time goes on, they’re almost certainly will be very capable local models in the long run we (general computer users) aren’t going back to the era of mainframe computing no matter how much OpenAI, Meta or Google would like us to.

In the English speaking capitalistic countries, it is traditional for a good portion of the working class to take on the outlook of their masters/boss/landlord a time honored tradition.

And that will be true about the Apple Vision too, how do you get there if you don’t have the ability to put the operating system and the hardware together and then iterate, the biggest problems with the Apple Vision is that it needs to be three or four times faster performance wise than what it is, needs to be half the size and it definitely needs to be more energy efficient from a battery standpoint and last but not least half the current price how does that happen? Only through iteration over time.

It’s called civilization and with 8 billion people on the planet oil and gas isn’t going away fertilizer and drugs aren’t gonna go out of style.

It’s kind of ironic sometime in the future due to technology advances we’re going regret you burning all of that oil and gas because it’s actually more useful making other things fertilizer, drugs and new type of materials.

The Toyota Prius and the Rav hybrids are popular for many of the reasons you mentioned.

One of the reasons Norway can go all electric (EV’s), but most of the world doesn’t have the hydroelectric resources they have.

All places, outside the American South in the United States don't have a problem, the American South however, is where it is a time honored tradition to make it hard to vote for some citizens.

And it has always been political and other things in the south.

The USA proceeded to ignore any advice that the Ukraine could give them when it came to drones being operated in the field under duress, where in many cases you had to ad lib, reconfigure, iterate on the spot, probably too proud to ask.

The North Vietnamese were famous for ad libbing, adapting on the spot, but in the end biggest weapon is the willingness to fight.

Russia and the United States never learn it isn’t about the best weapon or how much money you can spend…

Sounds good, but they won’t be able to sell them to anyone without the United States giving permission and butting in at every potential sale.

Current American administration unfortunately only care’s and listens to the 1% ruling class in any particular country they support that’s been the problem pretty much since 1945 and because of that they never pay attention to what most of the people in the country care about on the ground, and that’s been a problem in Central and South America and most other countries in the second and third world we just keep getting it wrong and we’re simply running out of steam and money…

I sincerely the next president has the guts to wipe his hands of it and get on about the business of building infrastructure within the United States badly needed infrastructure take a page out of China, actually rebuild from within, actually do something useful in Central and South America, rebuild some Goodwill with Canada and Mexico actually try to solve some problems.

Revisit Oak Ridge, Tennessee why are the Chinese dusting off old technology from America and running with it?

Doubtful, wishful thinking, America should’ve left well enough alone in 1953. We got rid of a president who was elected, who wanted to nationalize the oil industry within Iran, and when the puppet was installed the Shah he kept it nationalized anyway and for America, the Middle East became a quagmire and still is billions wasted.

Too bad the Pan America highway or a Pan-American Railway is but a dream the Chinese probably will get that high speed rail all the way to Europe once Russia and the Ukraine stop fighting, I might add if it wasn’t for the war. There’s a good possibility. It would already be done by now.

New comment by Danox in "A record 242 US cities now have starter homes that cost $1M"

Danox — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 03:36:45 +0000

All of the English speaking capitalistic countries are suffering from the same problem the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand.

Housing un affordability for the next generation coming up, starter homes in California are easily at least 500,000 the old two bedroom one car garage starter house I grew up in cost $550,000 today built in the 1925. There is no way anyone in the surrounding area for the most part make enough money to afford to buy it today.

The one thing that is going up all over the place across the country are those so-called luxury apartments which cost an arm and a leg even for a one bedroom studio, the one thing that is interesting or ironic. The only reason I can afford to buy anything is because relatively late in life bought as many shares of Apple computer as I could about 21 years ago.

Anyone coming up between 18 and 30 are in trouble unless their family is relatively well off and can help them.
