> Meanwhile Sinovac is being tried for corruption in China, and their defense was actually confirm they paid bribes to officials in various countries to approve their vaccines (not Coronavirus ones, the trial is about 2011 stuff), but claim that the officials (including Instituto Butantã related officials) that used extortion, and thus they are victims, not perpetrators of the crime.

Where can I read about this? Would like to know more about it since the National Government here in the Philippines will use the one created by Sinovac for vaccination and they're trying their best to convince people despite the public skepticism regarding the lower efficacy rates which seems to indicate what you've said.

Can you give us examples where Alex "overhyped" the language? So far most of the promises he made have been fulfilled / currently work-in-progress.

Scripting is one of V's main features[0]. Just a couple days ago, it was incorporated into the 'master' branch[1] so you can now use it.

Mozilla supports WebExtensions since 57+ afaik. Not sure about this if there are some differences in implementation and API's between Firefox's WebExt and Chrome's.
I don't think Firefox Sync is a disaster. In fact, it's the opposite. They managed to handle the service pretty well.

Want to get this phone so badly. Won't care about the moving of shipping date at all as long as they delivered the phone with little to no problems, I'm good. (If I we're to order one)
I tried their home broadband. Not bad at all, I think it depends on the location.

Globe is best on mobile. They're the best but not so good with the promo offerings they give.

In some posts, some commenters paste the news contents from the link in the comments section but this is most usually happens during election time just like in 2016 wherein there is a hot discussion about a candidate (and blame news websites for bias reporting).
Filipino here. I blame carriers here for making Facebook free-of-charge. Yes, good thing that Messenger let's us send messages for free. But the thing is, we can't see images nor visit links unless you get a data pack/promo or connect to a Wi-Fi.

Especially news, people can't see thumbnails or click links so they directly jump to wrong assumptions based on what they see and hear from the comments. Some people just lost the time to click articles as time goes by.

I wish they made the plan's cheaper but this is the Philippines where internet sucks and PLDT (PH's largest internet provider) and Smart (PLDT's carrier) are the worst.
