xiaomi phones are better and cheaper than their us equivalents. I have a friend who used her xiaomi 3 for many many years before finally switching, and i think the only reason it busted was too many drops. i haven't gotten one only because my us service refuses to accept chinese phones, probably due to government sanction. lmao

Mantis42 posted:Free housing? Then why are there so many homeless people literally everywhere in China? Because there are caveats. Namely, you need to have been born in the city to receive any of the services it provides, including the free housing and healthcare and all that. Population control y'know.

Talking about socialism in the abstract when it comes to innovation, or even innovation itself in the abstract, is silly. Innovativeness in specific areas is the consequence of real attributes of an economy. You shouldn’t ask whether socialism can innovate, but what it takes for an economy to encourage the kinda of innovation you find desirable and what socialism would have to look like for it to do that. If you can show that crucial measures to encourage innovation are incompatible with socialist principles, congrats, I guess. Obviously an overly micromanaged state-planned economy will only effectively innovate on areas that the state’s leaders consider worthwhile to invest resources in and let their designated innovators experiment freely. Besides, not even markets can force innovations where there are no resources to innovate or implement the innovations, they just kill the companies that can’t compete and replace them with more efficient ones.

Not so much 'run' as 'crudely and randomly pressure/blackmail/murder'. American Dad really isn't far off the money as to how the real life CIA probably works.

the most innovative periods in human history were the expansion periods of the han and Roman empires, the post-black death population boom and resulting global colonial expansion, and the world wars/cold wars. so apparently for an economy to rapidly produce truly new innovations, it takes mass death

There is probably truth to that it takes an existential crisis for authorities to actually start making technological and scientific progress a priority.
