Personally, the only good thing about Singapore is its relatively good governance - which covers a lot but it's not perfect; e.g. housing.

For me, remove that and its just an island in the Pacific.

If I'm supposed to be feeling some sort of patriotic zeal, it hasn't happened yet. But maybe that's because I'm a bitter old man living in a rented one room flat who is now really feeling the apparent temperature of 32C at 09:45pm.

Also today's Musk isn't the same as yesteryear's Musk. Back then people still gave him the benefit of the doubt and allowing him to hype things to the moon. Today he is disliked by a hell of a lot of people making everything he touches toxic to those people.

A unipolar world isn’t fair but when no one is near-peer with the toughest guy on the block, a fight is unlikely to break out - that toughest guy often plays police too so war among the rest is reduced as well.

Also it was his grandfather that gave him the name “Harry”, not his parents.

Really? Your parents named you the exact same name as a famous politician?

Edit: Really? Downvote me for the OP’s bad English?

Google is a traditional search engine. Traditional search engines run on keywords. You enter the keywords you want on the webpage and press “search”. Didn’t find what you were looking for? Add more keywords to make it more specific. Things you don’t want polluting the search results? Exclude a keyword by adding a “-“ in front of it to remove those specific results. Rinse and repeat until you find what you need or give up.

Depends on the video.

I rarely use videos for how-to though. The written word is more convenient as it allows me to skim it and it’s easier to skip ahead. Video is good for demonstrating things where motion information is useful though.

MS is like a boxer who doesn’t just want to beat you in the ring. He wants to outright kill you too so you will never fight again.

Imagine trying to find videos on the Cyberpunk genre and getting nothing but videos on that buggy video game that came out a few years ago.

You can tell who all the old people are that were using search engines since back in the day. LOL

All I ever expect from a search engine is it find pages with the words in my query (and maybe exclude certain words as specified), anything else is just gravy.

Its job is to find websites talking about what you entered as your query. If all people are doing is speculating … that’s all Google will return.

What do you get? Speculation? If so … I mean what did you expect? No one knows the answer so neither would Google.

For countries like Vietnam, that might be due to lack of investment.

For the last few decades, everyone was concentrating on China. This I believe has began to change - foreign investment in China is down if Im right.

On the other hand relationships between Vietnam and the West has been thawing the last decade or so - especially with the US.

Countries like Mexico are also looking to take on some of China’s manufacturing load - their proximity to the US is an advantage.

Tariffs on China effectively gives all their competitors a competitive advantage which will only help develop said competitors.

I wonder how long they are willing to do that. Those countries aren’t on the best terms with China either. Doubt they want a dependency on China if they can help it.

Wouldn’t they want to take over the manufacturing (along with it the profit) too instead of just re-exporting for a profit? They are in prime position to do so given they are the gateway for China’s goods - and can cut China’s goods out and substitute their own.

The photos are trivial to copy though and will likely be preserved, if the owner chooses to do so, by being replicated across multiple storage devices over time.

When you take a job with a pension, you run the risk of not being able to collect that pension if you die early. But it’s your choice to take the job.

The numbers are probably meaningful to them due to their education though.

It’s like saying programmers spend their whole career pour though millions of lines of nigh random symbols they call source code.
