Comment Re: more broadly (Score 2) 86

I've just read the SeaWorld article and the proportion of the article related to controversies seems appropriate to me. I wouldn't expect the article on VW or Mercedes to include lengthy sections on Nazi collaboration either. These are important historical controversies but there is a lot more to say about these companies and main articles like these should have a reasonable word count. Extended topics on the details, including the controversies, generally get their own article.

Pressure on China recently has, in my opinion, been about the Ukraine war. We see the same playbook as India- tarrifs and screwing with visas and just today India says they will stop buying Russian oil. It's a costly move for India in the short term but they understand it's the right thing to do and prefer to play well with other countries. China is the last large-volume buyer of Russian oil left but they are too proud to be seen as folding to external pressure and their propaganda ministry has been following the Russian line on the topic. I doubt China will play ball with the West on this one, and some Chinese markets are already or will be closed to American farmers forever. It's also true that China aggressively steals every digital file they can find, friends or otherwise. They should be called out every time it happens, because it keeps happening.

I doubt AI is going to do much for divorce law. Divorces generally go relatively smoothly or are a battle. People in easy divorces are already using template forms from the internet. Difficult cases are the definition of a "people business", a chatbot is not going to be satisfying to people who want someone to fight for what they want.

I completely agree but businesspeople should study and respect a skilful salesperson's methods, if only to be aware of sales tactics they shouldn't be flimflammed by. I'm not convinced that Jobs was a skilful salesperson but he definitely was the boss of a very successful company and that's pretty much the same thing to the people interested in such things.

The Bengal Famine of 1943 stands as one of the gravest humanitarian crises in modern history, leading to the deaths of an estimated three million people and further affecting millions through malnutrition and disease. Several factors converged to create this catastrophic situation, primarily influenced by British colonial policies during World War II.
