South Korea and Japan have been allies of the US for quite a long time and have zero reason to think that would ever change.

why would Samsung or LG want to partner with Huawei?

I bought a suitcase there and used it to travel the world. I would definitely consider it "useful".

me too ever since about Nov/Dec? is when I noticed the increase in "sponsored content". and the result has been me spending less time looking at IG

oh you're correct it is meant to develop C skills not learn Lisp

I nearly started working through that, would you mind sharing why you think it is a bad book? thx

"such a job" would not be made available as bus drivers are typically unionized employees and that is one reason part-time bus driver positions do not exist

i agree. the German factories will not be fine.

I agree that at least 6 manufacturers of ICE-car parts in the EU and USA will be seeing reduced demand in the future

thanks it translated pretty well.

So I think this story sounds incomplete. I do not think it is mutually exclusive to say that the Bosch burner factory is shutting down and that 95% of all new cars sold worldwide are combustion engine powered. German labor is extremely expensive and German taxes are incredibly high. Welcome to the global economy.

I find it much more likely that much like everything else, the Chinese car market wants cars manufactured in China and that those China factories source from Chinese vendors. It's no different than the electronics industry.

Plateaued where? In California and Europe maybe but not in the rest of the world.

- Electric cars are still less than 5% of new car market. Hardly impactful

- The increase in efficiency is more than offset by the growth in overall car market

- Potential legislation in China? India? Emerging markets? Sorry but nothing suggests that is happening

20+% increase by 2015-2030 https://www.statista.com/statistics/547100/projected-base-oi...

A more realistic assessment from Shell Oil is that oil demand continues to grow over the next 20 years, a view shared by rival BP and energy consultants like Wood Mackenzie. https://www.forbes.com/sites/daneberhart/2018/09/18/forecast...

Long-term oil demand is expected to increase by 15.8 mb/d, rising from 95.4 mb/d in 2016 to 111.1 mb/d in 2040 https://www.opec.org/opec_web/flipbook/WOO2017/WOO2017/asset... (page 101)

"what will likely become a declining demand for oil over next 20-30 years"

based on what?

People really use this browser?

of their biggest competitive advantages was that they didn't charge sales tax

absolutely untrue. in the beginning, Amazon was not required to collect sales taxes (in the USA, can't speak to other countries policies) and did not grow into what it has become because it saved people a measly 8-10% off the purchase price.

this is highly location dependent. Some countries see many more ads than others on Youtube.

because this is a time metric, I wonder how much the Phillipines' time use is impacted .. by .... sloooooooow ..... connection ........ speeeeeeeeeds.

if your only comparison point is USA then that is the issue. (I am American living in Asia 5+ years)

And yes, IG is huuuuuuuuuge in SK.
