The percentage of laptops which are already made in China and Taiwan is nearly 100. As of a few years ago, Taiwan alone was well over 90.


I always thought the concept of asset and time sharing was to convert what you already had into extra cash, just to offset the full price and maintenance of what you already had if you found yourself needing a few hours of income during some spontaneous downtime.

I dont know the feasibility of, for example, keeping pace with a median income earner, or even a minimum wage earner, because honestly I've never done a real estimation of the business.

At first glance, with car payments, gasoline, oil changes, tire changes, insurance, and deductible payments for the inevitable collisions (with court litigation from a single accident without even physical injury lasting in years of time-consuming litigation), driving for a rideshare is something I quickly turned down as an employment consideration.


All of the ones in China? I dont remember any there but maybe I was just used to not seeing any anywhere else in the country so I wasnt looking for them.

I also dont recall drinking fountains in Phnom Penh or Saigon's airports.


Beijing airport had water fountains despite the water not being good to drink and traditional Chinese culture having a stigma against drinking cold water.


Every train station and airport I've been in in my three years here has had a place to get hot water. If you want cold water in a train station you'll have to buy it bottled but Pudong airport in Shanghai has water fountains outside most of the bathrooms as well. I've never flown out of any other Chinese airports.


I remember that the hot/cold water tap was hidden inside the smoker's area in Guangdong, but it was there and plenty of people used it. I'm not sure if they offered free paper cups or if you had to bring your own bottle (which I always do).


Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou airport definitely have water fountains.

So I'm not sure what you are talking about. Maybe some of the smaller regional ones?


>The fuss is that even if you have absolutely nothing to hide the ‘privacy is dead’ crowd seems to miss out on the fact that privacy by itself is considered important enough to make it into the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 12

Ive seen this mentioned twice now.

When did `a piece of paper says X` become a leading argument?
