I've come across at least one fundamental and very official document from the central government in Peking that was made available as a Word document rather than a PDF. So strange.
Chinese grammar, mandarin or whatever, is surprisingly simple. It's the characters that are complex.
Does it involve the LDVS board that you solder to the main board? I'm looking for a good source and one that doesn't cause problems with the setting for brightness.
Nice idea! So different to phonetic transcriptions of names written with Latin characters.
Would be nice to include Cantonese Jyutping in addition to the Chinese characters.
Thank you for citing real statistics instead of idées reçues from the 1990s, as the above poster did.
It's run by the son of Charles Gave, Louis-Vincent. Fairly well known in France. Successful investors. Check out Charles's philanthropic project, the Institut des Libertés.
Wait a second. Did Bombardier have other offers for the C Series? It's a great plane but the circumstances of the sale are unknown to me. It happened so fast.
> We saw what happened to Bud Light when they ran a pride campaign - from which they're still recovering. Tractor Supply Company is currently reeling from their "woke" campaign. Both companies have right-wing majority markets and they lost significant sales and market share.
Perhaps not the central point of your message, I find the above phenomenon fascinating. I.e., a company that inexplicably alienates its principal demographic of clients through a seemingly unwise publicity campaign. I have the feeling that we're dealing with amateurish attempts to gain some points for the 'S' in ESG.
The rabbit hole of Chinese and Italy goes even deeper. They go gaga about Italy, at least Chinese women. I've listened to two Chinese women go on and on how Italy has a culture similar to Chinese etc. Prato is the tip of the iceberg if you ask me.
Same here. In my opinion, it's a combination of mimicry of the pro-war western press (with its wildly optimistic faith in US military power) and an incomplete understanding of the history behind certain events like the genesis and resolution of WWII and the dissolution of the USSR.
I don't know what the criteria were to avoid the purge but I know personally a Russian of German parents from Kaliningrad/Königsberg. A certain of ethnic Germans were allowed to stay.
Your focus is wrong. Poland made a number of political decisions based on British advice and promises. That the British and French couldn't lend a hand in time, is beside the point.
There is surely a lesson to be learnt from history. The UK offered certain assurances to Poland before WWII then backed off when it realised that the heat was too much.
Search country W or country X 'weaponizes' Y or Z. It's another widespread tournure that could make one wonder if one organisation is writing the whole load of rubbish.
X201 i5?
I installed OpenBSD latest on mine and was impressed by the battery life contre toute attente.
Fvwm with some essential tray apps and we're good!
If Jupyter Lab ran on this setup, I'd be a total convert.
In terms of hardware, I installed coreboot and replaced the wlan with something modern from China. I plan to upgrade from 2 GB to 8 GB but hard to find compatible SO-DIMM these days. It would be bloody awesome to upgrade the display to FHD but that looks... complicated, we'll see.
But I love working with an OS where I understand everything.
Hey, that sounds like Florida.
Since my comment, I have also found some supporting evidence. My God, the Anglo-Saxons are getting nervous about their land based aircraft carrier in the near east.
I read through the article as well as the article to which it linked. No mention of the Russian cost of such munitions, which is quite pertinent.
My comment will not address the hypocrisy and backstabbing inherent in Sino-Australian relations but a quick thought for the Chinese (grape) wine consumer. Relief!
Fascinating if true. I don't use Tik Tok or 抖音 so I have no idea. Any links?
Don't be sorry, that's interesting stuff. I stand corrected.
It sounds like you've had some interesting experiences!
We might want to throw in cross border workers (frontaliers/Grenzgänger). That's a bit different. It can be very interesting financially even on the lower end of salary or qualifications. But that possibility existed before the EU and won't disappear after the EU.
I'd say that contentious question of 'posted workers' is enough to make me ask myself if it's worth the sacrifice to have the possibility to live and work anywhere in Schengen/EEA/EU. But the other replies to your message include further valid points.
Remember that legal, economic immigration in Europe is possible without Schengen style free movement. It really wasn't that hard before.
I'm willing to study facts (numbers) that prove the benefit of free movement but they would have to show that legal, economic immigration without Schengen doesn't bring the same benefit. And legal, economic immigration without Schengen seems to have a lot less disadvantages.
Considering use cases, nuclear weapons aren't the ultimate weapon and a biological weapon could be employed in situations where nuclear weapons are inappropriate. Given the right biological weapon, a state actor (China, the US, or anyone really) could see the possible asymmetrical benefits.
Example: a purely theoretical biological weapon with low mortality but high economic cost and probably reduced military effectiveness. If I'm the country that uses it, I've taken measures to prepare and expect to come out ahead.
Whereas I observe 3 basic use cases for strategic nuclear weapons and only 1 (the last) is possibly comparable.
1/ game over for everyone, we'll launch left and right (Israel, I presume)
2/ I have enough nuclear weapons to make it not worth the price of bothering me (France, maybe China?)
3/ I believe that the combination of my delivery mechanisms and countermeasures give me a chance despite a generalized nuclear exchange (US, Russia/USSR).
Few know what really happened with respect to SARS-CoV-2. (I don't.) But I don't believe that the possession of nuclear weapons makes biological weapons completely 'uninteresting'.
Well aware that the big consulting firms work closely with western governments on certain subjects (public health, economy) but if they are providing military advice, that's news to me.
You say that it's a good thing but your examples suggest the contrary.
What about keyboard depth?
Look at it this way: operations involving something atomic and blamed on Russia didn't work. Killing some poor nobody politician in a Siberian prison and trotting out his widow in Munich was the next best idea. The rest of the world pushes a sigh of relief and considers itself lucky. If only it stops there.
Good point. Well I know Canadians, Chinese, immigrants and banking.
I'm not surprised that some Chinese (or any) immigrants in Canada try to take advantage of the linguistic barrier to obtain credit. And since important Canadian documents are often less standardized than in other countries, one can surely employ a bit of artistic creativity with a stamp here and a stamp there to put through a false document.
I've personally dealt with fraudulent credit applications, submitted and approved, because the bank employee (Canadian, no relation to the client) wanted to improve his numbers. At least when I was involved in credit, because of the workflow, the middle office made decisions first based on the numbers provided to them by the front office. Of course they were supposed to control all supporting documents but they weren't exactly zealous and if you knew their work habits, you could probably deduce the best time and language for the submission of a questionable application.
