That seems like it's within striking distance of competitive, no? You get some major advantages in size and production automation. Perhaps it's ok for it to die sooner if you can get it built now and then replace it later.
We already have had that ossified layer thing multiple times in mathematics. Formalisms change. For example, prior to vector calculus writing out multidimensional PDEs was tedious. Vector calculus has serious issues in its own right, so you get people pushing geometric algebra. In more rarefied domains you have things like categories and sheafs replacing the previous "ossified" layer.
The UK's tier 2 and the EU's blue card are strictly better than the US H-1B to green card mechanism and have been for over a decade. You face no 7% per country capping on naturalization. Has it worked out? These visas look like O-1 competitors more than anything, not H-1B.
Are there details on what visas Hyundai needed they couldn't get? L-1A/B for sending experts or management would make sense but I'm not sure there's any real issue getting those, especially not in 2023 when the plant was started.
>ISPs can meet the label requirement in alternate sales channels either by providing a hard copy of the label or by "directing the consumer to the specific web page on which the label appears."
There's already lookups for sales tax. If they can bill the address the fees, they can show the fees to the customer.
It's still apt, even as someone ostensibly in that category.
It does require some abstract thinking to comprehend sets of zero measure, negative measure or complex measure in mathematics. A "zero length object" is also encountered pretty often in practice:http://docs.autodesk.com/CIV3D/2013/ENU/index.html?url=files... and zero-length files come to mind.
The euphemism ends up working out fine, though likely not the author's intent.
