Independent dependent?

If you have any interest in being accurate in your view of American history, may I recommend one of my favorites, What Hath God Wraught - The Transformation of America, 1815 - 1848 by Howe published by Oxford Press, really a great series to be honest.

Also quick math tells me 1868 was 153 years ago versus a couple of centuries. My dad was born in 1930's. His father, my grandfather was born in the 1880's. Do you know your grandparents or great grandparents. If they lived in the US they saw some violent, normalized behavior on a level and duration unprecedented in human history.

Your identification of the longstanding problem and your proposed solution seems, racist, because you blame people and policies for shortcomings.

Accurate or the one that fit your bias?

ahem 1853 -> 19th Century.

Yes my father was in 1945 and grandpa in 1920 and grand grandpa in 1880s.

They were brought as slaves and they lived as slaves. There are horror stories in the family.

But none of my brothers, cousins or uncles are knocking old people.

Yes we have the felon uncle but no family is perfect.

"Your identification of the longstanding problem and your proposed solution seems, racist, because you blame people and policies for shortcomings. "

I did not provide any solution but is very hard to think an old Thai guy was involved in slave trade.

Be aware we Non-Whites we don't have the need to virtue signaling we just see the reality.

We need to give more voice to people like Thomas Sowell. Do we consider a group of able to have an agency and solve its own problem or we keep them managed?

I still think they have agency.

And I am still waiting for "celebrities" cry about this bad behavior.


<Be aware we Non-Whites we don't have the need to virtue signaling we just see the reality.

My family immigrated here from Mexico we literally had nothing and have risen to some of the highest peaks of usa society. It took hard work which is the complete opposite of what social justice warriors want. white people in this country are about the laziest I've ever seen out of anywhere I've ever been. The most privileged people I have ever seen armchair keyboard social justice warriors. They never traveled anywhere besides a secure resort by themselves, they never done anything by themselves, and don't know how the whole world works.

What's really laughable about this country is the whites have the power to help other minority groups like The blacks and erase the ghettos but the whites are too ignorant and arrogant to even accept that there's a problem too afraid to even talk about it because "it's racist"


> And I am still waiting for "celebrities" cry about this bad behavior.

They are. Google Colin Kaepernick.


Is he kneeling to the Asians?

Sorry I missed that!


Lenient policies around supporting people or incarcerating people?


Anyone know how obsolescence won't create space debris in this emerging competition.


Maybe the GP threw the wrong buzzword and meant AI instead of ML.


Earlier detection. Is this new tech, or just a sharper hammer?


We don't know yet. What's sure is that it has greatly increased the number of cancer surgeries, especially lungs.

We don't know if that's a good thing yet.


> There is already a lot of real value in ubiquitous computing, automated warehouses, supply chain optimizations, digital entertainment, digital government services in many countries, I could go on for couple of pages now.

Is technology about, or only about optimizing value in supply chains?


I don't understand the question since I pointed out other areas as well like digital entertainment which has nothing to do with optimizing value in supply chains.

Maybe you thought about optimizing content delivery, but I was thinking about computer games, VR, music production, which are digital entertainment and have nothing to do with supply chain optimizations.


Perhaps using satellite imagery to count the number of 737 MAX airplanes sitting on the runways of major airports, in addition to traditionally available data.


> Not saying we should do that though, because if Boeing goes out of business, we would be left with just one major manufacturer of passenger jets, and that's never a good thing.

This is a strong argument to work with Boeing to correct both the engineering and company cultural issues that produced an aircraft that kills their customers' customers. What's happening now seems like the time elapsed in the penalty box for bad behavior and now they are back on the ice. As you've stated, Boeing is too important to go out of business. Should a crash happen in the western world they'll long for the difficulties and corrective opportunities they face now.


> Boeing is too important to go out of business.

I hear this a lot and I get it, but I'm not so sure it's true. If Boeing dies, their assets don't just evaporate with them. There are half a dozen companies in the US who could take over where they left off - hopefully with better leadership this time around.


> There are half a dozen companies in the US who could take over where they left off

Like who? Lockheed maybe? I'm not sure they'd be willing or able to take over without the US government stepping in with some serious incentives though.


Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, General Electric, Northrop Grumman, and Honeywell all spring to mind. Most of those companies do not presently manufacture entire aircraft, but they're all in a position to do so if they acquired only a fraction of Boeing's assets. Raytheon Technologies in particular already makes engines, avionics, and interior systems. All they'd need is a manufacturing plant to assemble everything onto a fuselage.

Boeing and Lockheed Martin get a lot of name recognition for handling the high-level design and manufacturing of aircraft. But in reality, their planes are an amalgamation of engines, avionics, and interior systems which are often contracted out to other companies like those I listed. Many of them could step up and fill Boeing's shoes if a good deal presents itself - especially if there was extra incentive seeing as it would be a matter of national interest.


I do, often, unfortunately. It gets poured down the drain.


That's very wasteful. Use it for cooking; for that purpose it can be kept for months and even mixed with other same-color wines. There are plenty of dishes that can "pop" with just a bit of extra wine here and there.


This is why I avoid buying beer in growlers. My wife and I just don't drink enough to kill a bottle before it's done. If I have friends over, it goes fast, but that's not really a thing right now.

They do make cans of wine... I know it's a crazy idea, but my friend who likes wine loves the single serving size.


In Oregon at least yes. https://www.cannedoregon.com/

Pretty sure that isn't the only brand I have seen.


Huh. I didn't realize this was a local/ Oregon thing and had assumed it was country-wide.


Bag-in-box style of containers are pretty good regarding oxydation. Up to 6 weeks after opening it says on the label.

A bottle is obviously better long term.


There's perfectly good bagged wine in France, but they get pretty bad rep in other countries, it's often terrible wine in these boxes sadly


I thought the 750ml bottle was a single serving size?

For a joke, my family got me a 750ml glass a couple of Christmases ago. I have yet to use it.


750 ml has nothing to do with how much wine people are expected to drink at once; it's an artifact of glass-blowing. A typical medieval glass-blower's lungs allowed them to create bottles of 700-800 ml with a single long breath.


That's a very cool piece of useless trivia. Thanks.


Is there something about glass blowing which makes it air-inefficient? My vague recollection from my time as a low brass player in college is that the prof's lung capacity measuring apparatus (yes, really) put most of us in the 3-4L range, with one outlier around 5L. Granted, we were trained for such magnificent feats of blowing hot air, but so too must glass blowers be.


It is more about the pulmonary strength needed to start the bubble in sufficent glass for the bottle size.


I'd guess that it's also relates to a pressure that glass blower had to create. Then the total volume would be less than free volume.


Sounds like something you should aspire to :)

I can drink a bottle myself lunch to bed on a weekend, but not every weekend.
