Not really. After second Khrushchevite coup Kim Il Sung purged both Soviet and Chinese factions in WPK so they were politically entirely sovereign, but they never went into conflict with neither USSR nor China. They also moved in opposite direction economically and diplomatically, instead of adopting market reforms and opening to the west, they followed self-reliance policies, mostly out of necessity of being basically sieged by USA and their cronies the entire time.
And in retrospect, considering Yugoslavia was broken among untold suffering and DPRK not, it was a right move.
Yeah, from the article:
The diamonds produced using this method are minuscule, hundreds of thousands of times smaller than those grown with the HPHT method. Hence, these diamonds are far too small for jewelry applications.
However, their use in technological applications, such as drilling or polishing, is a possibility. Due to the low pressure involved in the new method, it might be feasible to significantly scale up diamond synthesis.
However, i bet they are already thinking of getting bigger ones, and might succeed eventually.
Yeah, even the easiest and most obvious thing, furthermore the one requiring least devwork, mods, were deliberately missed in case of Starfield by not releasing mod tools until much later. At first the hype was real, first two weeks seen something like 2000 mods released on nexus… but nearly all those were just reskins and other simple mods possible without tools. But then you could see the enthusiasm evaporating in real time until not much is left. If the tools were available on release the game would be now in much better state by every metrics.
And they still blew it up, the easiest thing ever.
Yeah i seen it too though that flying taxi looked pretty good in comparison, like big drone basically. Also it was just a flying vehicle and this here is also a car.
Finally, it’s still wasteful and aimed at rich people, it would also require early centralised flight control service to avoid accidents (though i admit it would be feasible unlike the self driving cars), and in such case again, why not just use train, especially that it would also allow to reduce traffic, negating even the need for flying car.
They killed Mass Effect for this
