<p>They may be talking about something like the OnePlus watch, which does not have a usb-C port on it, but the charger device for the watch takes usb-C.</p>

<p>No, I don't believe that you are sorry. And discussions can diverge; making a comment that follows only the original discussion but is a non-sequiter to the comment it actually replies to, makes the comment nonsensical, not "a return to the original discussion".<p>The thing you say was not claimed, was claimed by multiple commenters.<p>Considering you are neither truthful nor literate, I won't be replying again. Feel free to get the last word in if you like.</p>

<p>I can't understand the writing for you. But I can present it.<p>TheTayTay said "wealth can be created". Avicebron asked for an example of wealth creation. cm2012 provided one, housing. saghm misunderstood the intent of the example. I pointed out the error, and then you came in and have apparently repeatedly failed to understand again multiple comments, both the people who literally are saying that some quantity of wealth cannot be created, and myself.<p>If you didn't get that after a reread, all I can suggest is that you seek out a literacy class at a local community college. It will improve your life, because this certainly won't be the first or only time you misunderstand written words.</p>

<p>Sure. The extractiveness of housing costs can exist alongside the fact that constructing a building on land creates value.</p>

<p>Not really. There are plenty of Western entities that think in centuries (e.g. the Catholic Church) and plenty of.Chinese entities that are chasing the next moment (all the companies who cut standards on product because "to them it is the same").<p>This is true about the instantaneous state of the governments of the US and China rather than some intrinsic permanent cultural quality.</p>

<p>The thing being discussed is that wealth can be created, not merely stolen.<p>The existence of housing is an example of something vlauable being created. The price of housing is not relevant to the example.</p>

<p>Look, self-loathing is all the rage, but just because you don't understand what "values" mean doesn't mean you have to insult your entire country along with you.<p>As for making money, you're right, it's not one of <i>your</i> values. It takes a special case of main character syndrome to think it's not anyone's value.</p>

<p>Maybe it would help if you shared your private personal definition of "value", since you're clearly not using the one from the dictionary...</p>

<p>Yes, because it changed slightly, addressing their complaint. The complaint was small in scope.<p>Again, just because someone has values, doesn't mean they have values you think are good.</p>

<p>Nonsense. Everyone has values. "Make myself maximum money" is a value. "Amass maximum power over the world's information" is a value. It's clear Amodei certainly follows the latter, and I would soften the former somewhat for him; they did after all decline the Pentagon contract that would have made money but would have meant giving up some control of information.</p>

<p>On the other hand.<p>Here we are reading about solar overtaking coal. Coal was producing more grid electricity than gas relatively recently, in 2015.<p>The rate of growth of solar-produced electricity is accelerating. Given another decade, there's every chance it can supplant gas as well.</p>

<p>Not sure that will come to pass. With the drop in price of both solar and batteries being not only continuous but accelerating, we're quickly approaching a tipping point where it will become uneconomical to <i>not</i> replace anything grid-tied fossil-fuel with solar/wind+battery.<p>Quickly being in the next decade or two.</p>

<p>No need to wonder.<p>The answer is, the organization making the powerful tool.

<p>I disagree. It will, it just takes a while.<p>There are tons of cities with burgeoning artist scenes and other movements improving that city, due to the availability of extremely inexpensive space to do things. Rochester, St Louis, Baltimore, Detroit.<p>Making things cheap means you can take risks or spend time on activity that's directly economically unproductive but indirectly has fringe benefits for everyone around. And as more people do it, more people try to do it, with a compounding positive effect over time.</p>
