  • Okay, but that sounds like something entirely different, it sounds like they’re cutting corners to do less work.

    New recruits understand their job doesn’t matter and they shouldn’t put in any more effort than they have to, it’s the older people that think being an engineer is something to be proud of and put in the effort. What you’re observing is engineers treating their jobs the same as every other worker, because this is how everyone without a college degree has been for decades.

    But that’s distinct from someone who struggles with counting to ten, which can only be described as a disability.







  • People are going to react to this with a knee-jerk “nuh uh!” because you’re being a smug reddituer about it, but I’m going to take a different approach. China actually invests in its infrastructure so obviously it’s going to have more and newer cameras, simply because it’s actually building and expanding. In China you might be surveilled in one of the more than 1000 high speed rail stations. In the UK it might be in one of four, or more likely a low speed train station. In the US it might be a bus station.

    That’s the difference. When countries are growing and building, they’re installing cameras. Every country is going to install more and more cameras forever, the only countries that won’t are the ones that are in decline. China is growing and building faster than anyone, so they’re going to have more cameras. This needs to be taken into account.







  • I said, a lot earlier in the comment chain:

    But why does Iowa care so much more about China collecting data than the US?

    And it was in a thread where the OP is about Iowa. That was the context in which I said Amazon won’t face consequences. I was clearly talking about Iowa law and why Iowa targeting Temu is biased, you bringing up Biden’s FTC making decisions three years ago to refute this. You aren’t seriously engaged with what I have to say, you just want to “win” the discussion.

    I hate talking to redditeurs.
