The age isn't too abnormal; I know a pilot and his father (also a pilot) started him young as well.
I also remember that during the war in the Pacific that the Japanese would not only have teen pilots but expected them to run off and on to a carrier and strike ships. Teens have sharp reaction times and good eyes working to their advantage.

The Japanese pilot corps lost most of their experience pilots during the war and towards the end it was full of inexperienced pilots leading to things like the Marianas turkey shoot.
Experience is what matters most, it's why most aces and pretty much all the top aces had long histories of aeronautical pursuits before the war but many of them started in there early teens as well(Hartman was a gliding instructor by 14).

Im surprised they were allowed to anyway. Foreigners cant buy real estate in most countries that don't make their money in being a tax shelter

 No.1600

>>1599
US relations are important so they let them do it, but the Chinese mentality is that real-estate is retirement funding so they caused issues that require federal legislation. maybe it will be tied onto a NAFTA (or whatever trump renamed it as) amendment by a future PM.

Something like only 7% of Chinese own business or bank investments, large rest of them buy multiple houses. Creates problems in foreign small countries because it skyrocketed price from foreign demand.

 No.1601

>>1600
They might have been panic buying too if it was chinese, because the real estate bubble is bursting in the PRC and many investors are desperate to invest elsewhere. Combine this with the Chinese tendency to panic buy and scalp and it could be disastrous for the natives.

The PRC's in a really bad place right now and it could be bad for the whole world if it gets worse. I hope Xi does the right thing and steps down.

used to think like that until I realized that mass immigration can be used as a stopgap against penny pinching natives refusing to play the game.

Canadians should just live in the Canadian wilderness, land is probably cheap there.

The land itself can be cheap but the cost of living can be very high and the people who already live there dont want newcomers especially if you dont have familial connections

Yeah. Most of the worlds problems nowadays are issues of logistics rather than production. We have enough to give to everyone, but the means to get it to people cheaply isn't always possible.

I missed this when it happened (not that it would matter) but an asteroid about the size of a "minibus" passed Earth and got closer than some satellites. It was only identified a week ago by an amateur.

>Yhe treaty will create a new body to manage conservation of ocean life and establish marine protected areas in the high seas. And Clark said that’s critical to achieve the U.N. Biodiversity Conference’s recent pledge to protect 30% of the planet’s waters, as well as its land, for conservation.

I'm skeptical that this will have any great impact, but it's better than nothing.

It's really neat the way in which the two services discover a method to offset costs for each other in a mutually beneficial relationship. Would be nice if from their example others follow suit in trying to figure out ways in which they can do similar.

I do wonder how people are going to get around this stuff in the future as the technology improves. There needs to be a modern equivalent of holding up a newspaper with the day's news on it. Maybe a whole bunch of moving things that would be difficult for AI to replicate? Maybe just holding your hands to the camera?
