Pretty dishonest. There is nothing about curbing consumerism there. Just telling people that they will HAVE TO buy less if consumer prices increase, in order to hurt China.
Then you would agree that all corporate taxes are not progressive and are eventually paid by all consumers thus all corporate taxes should be abolished.
Corporate taxes are paid on profit. In theory they should not change consumer pricing in a perfect market. They can be seen as a tool to encourage companies to spend more on R&D and capital investment rather than returning profit.
I recall my left leaning economics professor arguing for the abolition of corporate taxes along similar lines actually. You don't really deserve the downvotes other than perhaps for the aggressive tone.
(I'm not committing myself to the idea, only that it isn't obviously outside the norms of economic thought)
Actually I doubt we'd have picked 27-bit addresses. That's about 134M addresses; that's less than the US population (it's about the number of households today?) and Europe was also relevant when IPv4 was being designed.
In any case, if we had chosen 27-bit addresses, we'd have hit exhaustion just a bit before the big telecom boom, a lucky coincidence meaning the consumer internet would largely require another transition anyway. Transitioning from 27-bit to I don't know 45-bit or 99-bit or whatever we'd choose next wouldn't be as hard as the IPv6 transition today.
I think of it as a continuous feedback loop between engineering, finance, and QA that ultimately ends in a product being manufactured as inexpensively as possible without dying in the warranty period.
I do know that people do not like me. Don't get me wrong, my coworkers all get along with me and I think most enjoy working with me but in general people outside of work don't want to be around me. Hell I couldn't even keep my wife interested enough to stick with me.
So how could we study what makes me turn off other people and have it make a difference in my life? It is unlikely that I would be able to change myself and there is almost zero chance that whatever it is about me that disgusts others will change their natural reaction.
In addition, I am not sure that this isn't how things are supposed to be. This may be part of social evolution that just makes the world tick.
I would prefer we stop classifying people and just let them be who/what they are without pointing fingers at them.
It’s all about realistic introspection. People with a disorder often prefer the disorder to change. I think it is a personal decision. If one feels the need to be closer/understand an individual or is not satisfied with the quality of their human relationships than understanding personalities including one’s own can help.

Highly unlikely, but you didn't rule it out completely. Plus there are others who also might be able to change.
I think the idea is that your hypermedia api and data api are not the same thing and the general shape of your data api should not be based on the needs of your front end.
