> How fat is Kim Jong Un

Ha if I got asked that during an interview, I'd think either I went to the wrong interview or the interview is a red flag.

> The candidate used remote colocated Mac desktops but interacted with other components through a VPN, a setup commonly deployed to hide location and network activity.

How can Kraken found this out based only on Videocall?

OOT, How'd you distinguish between Oklahoma, Oregon and Ohio State University when you see the word OSU?

> Additionally, China is much better prepared for a trade war in that it has a populace that has been very well conditioned to go through hardship for longer term wins

It's funny that I saw more and more opinions that Chinese will win the trade war by shopping and eating out more.

Come to think of it, maybe you're right. The "robotic" feeling is translated well to orderly decorum for me

The avoiding talking part is more on the Frontend level censorship I think. It doesn't censor on API

I do think some individuals much prefer work over family or friends since 'work' relations are professional, formal and regulated while personal relationships lack those and are chaotic and random.

Wait till you heard about software developers journeyman that got burn out from passive aggressive and RTFM responses from their fellow human engineers.

The American Universities college admission practices of writing "personal essays" without a clear metrics sure is very peculiar.

Probably I'm wrong but if you can do stimulus ad infinitum there won't be recession, but you'll have inflation.

I still remember when Inverted yield curve was enough to predict recession. Good times.

It'll give a good life for software developers

Mom and Pop shops likely won't invest in softwares for inventory or payrolls or analytics but big chains will. That means the more big chain markets swallowing mom and pop shops more capitals invested for software and other tertiary services. This boost GDP

Precedent if I like it, whataboutisn otherwise.

Billions are becoming Linus' products

Chinese complete supply chain is ramping up. Previously they could achieve the Frontier but hampered by tools sanctions. Now Chinese indigenous tools are catching up.

Must be the rumours that DeepSeek has million worths of GPU think and their claim of relatively cheap training is a psyop

> can all go away if and when the credibility for investors and entrepreneurs is replaced by Xi's neo-Maoism.

You mean US' various anti China sanctions and trade restrictions

I wonder how much meals can culture provide

Usually Media and think tanks love to claim that China inflated their GDP sometimes using esoteric metrics like light intensity (lol).

But when it's about defense budget, ackshually China deflated them

Lol Royal Navy would soon have more admirals than military hardwares.

Not many options for India. F-35 is also very risky and unclear delivery date, not to mention they also got burned by delayed F414 engines delivery for their Tejas.

With rumours of Pakistan getting J-35, 5th Gen fighters are necessity I guess.

Besides they can force Russian to manufacture them in India like Su-30 MKI.

Might as well adopt Songun.

> People also forget NATO fought a much shitter/temu RU in Yugoslavia where NATO threw everything at even more legacy soviet systems. All of the awacs, prowlers, F117 barely chiped away at 20% of Yugoslav anti air, something like 700 harms were fired and destroyed less than handful of SA6 batteries. Hard to argue EU part of NATO has better military capability than 20 years ago

Likewise the reason why Russia couldn't steamroll Ukraine swiftly is because Ukraine anti air is very formidable (using Soviet hardware no less). That is why it is wrong to simply assume Russia is weak.

Still below 50% (49% something) so technically not majority but plurality.

I'm highlighting more about EU conundrum here and I'm still amused that they still have energy to pick up fight with say China.

I'm willing to entertain the possibility that the Russian can improve the track record faster than the EU develops 5th gen fighters.

I'm willing to bet they can do it with possible financial assistance from India (they need 5th gen fighters too) and generic chips from China.

P.S. Many mocked Russian munitions came with chips made by Texas Instruments among others, but thing is those chips are so damn generic you can get that from random shops in Shenzhen.

But if the EU has no 5th gen fighters then they'd have a hard time maintaining Air Superiority against Russia if they manage to mass produce Su-57 or Su-75 and I am betting the Russian can do it before EU can have 5th gen fighters or FCAS.

Theoretically, if you exclude the occupied parts from voting, you'd ensure no Yanukovich-like candidate winning.

On the other hand, Trump can always move the goalpost ("Election not held in eastern Oblasts == Sham elections") or even reinforce the view that the eastern oblasts are de facto not part of the Ukrainian state anymore.
