We were already there 10 years ago with Google Glass. Despite its failure in the consumer market, it found significant success in enterprise settings in the exact scenarios you’ve listed.

Except, all of these are scenarios in blue collar work. Apple seems hell bent on making this succeed in white collar areas with its emphasis on meetings, which is extremely baffling.

Eww Reinhart and Rogoff, all my homies hate Reinhart and Rogoff.

TL:DR Reinhart and Rogoff infamously cherry picked their data and had coding errors to support austerity measures that fucked over much of the world, subsequent meta analyses found that austerity doesn’t work.

Physical Vs chemical changes.

It was typically taught that physical changes are differentiated from chemical changes because they could be “undone” or that they had “no chemical reaction.” Which was very confusing, because you can’t uncut paper, and dissolving stuff in water clearly results in different chemicals being produced, yet both were examples of physical changes (actually the latter is sometimes taught as a chemical change). Furthermore, most chemical changes are actually reversible.

It has since been recognised that this classification is BS, and most changes actually exist on a continuum.

Shoshana Zuboff really was ahead of its time. So many people who were privacy conscious and therefore thought they were clever by simply thinking that Google makes money by only selling your data completely missed the scale of manipulation and control big tech has (myself included).

Google/big tech doesn’t sell your data. Google/big tech sells advertisers predictions of your behaviour, a highly refined, processed version of your data. Advertisers cannot purchase your data, only “impressions” or “views.” In an extra sinister twist, Google/big tech then uses it’s resources to manipulate you in ways such that their predictions become true.

This is why their predictions are the best, because after making them, they have a financial incentive to manipulate them into being true. It is why we naturally see more and more polarization, because after Google has sold the prediction that you will engage is a specific type of content (e.g. right ring rabbit holes), it is financially incentivised to make that a reality, and therefore further push you in that direction, to make their prediction true.

Sike! Many developed nations such as Canada, Australia, the UK, Hong Kong, and Singapore all provide little to no support for dental. Although the UK does have dental ln the NHS, finding an NHS dentist is very difficult.

Many of the residents in these nations end up engaging in dental tourism to nations such as Poland and Thailand, where a dental travel package that includes round trip international air fare + 5 star hotel + dental work is still cheaper than getting dental work done in their home country.

Although by far the eco friendly option, natural (or direct) burials are still quite expensive, at around $2600. Most of this is related to the cost of the plot itself, and most of the savings come from using a cheaper/no casket.

Direct cremation is generally cheaper, being $800 - $3000, with most options averaging around $2000.

Not for a long time. The Economist Democracy Index demoted the US to a “flawed democracy” since 2016, where it has been ever since.

Kyocera.

Also Japanese, and plenty of cheap generic toners available online. They even publish Linux drivers.

Yep, just search for country + banks for expats. Typically a lot of the countries well known for financial services have banks which make it very easy to open a bank account online. They will require you to upload some ID for verification, and provide tax details. Expats (rich white immigrants) do this all the time.

You are not limited to just Canada / Europe either. E.g. Australia: Macquarie Bank Singapore: OCBC Hong Kong: HSBC
