Majority of the illusions seem to be 2D object projected as 3D object, they still get me every-time though. Definitely would recommend a game called Superliminal if this kind of stuff gets you.
> it's not very efficient to learn how to do something by enumerating all the ways you cannot do it
I think the better way to look at it would be to look at ways that it could've been done better. Everyone's a genius and mastermind that knows exactly why a certain product fails ("if they only had know this") or that the "bubble was there all along". Learning what could've been done better is much better than success stories where people knew what to do from some divine inspiration.
There are just so many websites on this page, all of which have their own art style and their own experiments. Honestly makes me feel very small on the internet but also happy that there are so many people who do this kinda stuff.
China is much more internationally connected and densely populated than Africa is. Pretty much why the rate of international infection skyrocketed after the disease got to Italy.
Africa also it's share of problems and diseases.See Ebola.
> Many of the parents with young children at home are dreading the loss of their office space right now
As someone without kids can you explain this? Where I work at many employees with kids come to work much later and leave much earlier since they have to pick up their kids or send them to after school activities. Wouldn't working from home better this process?
Also, there's a factor of where the people live. Someone who is a cab driver in Los Angeles might be making the same money as someone who is a mechanic in Nebraska. But the possibility of upwards mobility and higher education in Los Angeles is much higher than that of rural areas. Most immigrants move to large metropolitan areas than the countryside.
Well it worked for China, they now have large corporations of similar (enough) caliber to their Western counterparts creating a lot more jobs than if Amazon or Google were allowed to run free.
It's hard enough to compete against these established Tech Giants if they just come in and buy all the domestic companies. Not to mention the companies are starting with a massive head start.
I doubt that they'd lower their investment. This is more like you're investing in the economy of Saudi Arabia as a whole, just using an oil company as it's vessel.
>The AirTrain's ridership has risen each year since then. In 2017, there were 7,655,901 passengers who paid to travel between JFK Airport and either Howard Beach or Jamaica. This represents a 292% increase over 2004, the first full year of operation, when 2,623,791 riders paid.
>An additional 12.6 million people are estimated to have ridden the AirTrain for free in 2017.
When such an answer already exists, there is no reason to even ruminate on self driving cars.
>The truth is that the U.S. China relationship has been extremely one-sided for a very long time now: China buys the hardware it needs, and keeps all of the software opportunities for itself — and, of course, pursues software opportunities abroad.
The US started off the game with a lot more technology, knowledge, and power than the Chinese. I'm kind of iffy that developing nations should open their markets entirely to the largest multinational corporations especially if that means steamrolling the local companies. A lot of Chinese companies would not have been able to start if they instantly got out marketed by large American ones.
Honestly, a good amount of law and politics is knowing what you can or cannot do. It's not that law is complex it's that dealing with people who know law, or people that know that you don't know about law is complex.
You can see it when people with the basic understanding of police interactions can avoid so much illegal stuff happening if they just know when to say no.
Would the human eye see the difference between this and Vantablack? Even though it's ten times darker I feel like the returns would get smaller and smaller.
>If X were an impoverished country like Somalia, the tune would change and most people would condemn such a society
I've actually found that the larger a country is the more criticized it is on human rights violations. If a small country was genociding its own people or anything that X was doing, then the media would simply ignore it as it isn't a large enough story to talk about.
All the examples you give of X are taking place right now across the world in most developing nations yet the focus is placed on the largest ones.
