Probably before the rest of you.

You aren't: you are trying to defend the silly notion that a group of white people are homogenous even if they have different languages.

You state such a thing (diversity) cannot EVER possibly be true. The OP and I testify otherwise. From lived experience - mine with nothing to do with Switerland (or Canada in case you are guessing).

Consider today then whether the Serbo-Croation war could ever be possible under your model of reality (who would fight who?). Except it was.

I didn't live within 10 000km of Switzerland.

Stop making silly assumptions to narrow the beautiful diversity of the world so as to fit your polemic.

> uh yeah you're going to have a hard time convincing anyone that a country that is majority white isn't homogeneous because multiple languages are spoken

Well, he convinced me. (Largely because I have lived in countries with communities like that).

[Out of curiosity, does my testimony change your mind?]

Really? You didn't find it clever enough to muster a little smile?

The things that bother some people.

I upvoted you, but it is true that for most graduates, a degree is just a ticket to the upper middle class where they will mostly do meetings, email, and office documents.

Sadly, this is true for a lot of engineering jobs too.

Whether they learn anything is irrelevant.

Actually that title belongs to the CCP.

If the purpose of the wealth tax is to lower equality then the correct solution is to tax machines.

>No, largely because of the secret vote and the fact that there is no way anyone can verify how "you" voted after the fact. So you can lie to the thug threatening you with a wrench that you voted for "candidate A" and the thug has no way to know otherwise.

Sadly, the thug also knows this. But what the thug (=ruling party) does know is whether an entire voting district votes for the opposition.

Then they come down hard on the entire district. In all sorts of creative ways.

< the new Chinese steal fighter and it’s resemblance to the F-35 steal[th] tech

Modulo that all stealthy fighters will look somewhat similar, you do know why the F-35 looks like the Russian Yak-141?

Yakolev was in a IP-technology-transfer with agreement with Lockheed Martin from 1991 to 1995 (approx) to show LM how it was done.

> We protect everyone.

Oh please… 28 US states have actual legislation to prohibit state offices from doing business with companies or individuals that even threaten to boycott Israel.

Not far from how NBA employees get censored by China.

And there is more to come…

And you are unable to recognise a metaphor.

My guess is they are going to owe the IRS a lot of money.

In real USD.

> FOIA obviously doesn't apply to everything

And that there is the problem from which no argument about checks and balances can recover.

Which is why real democracies don't allow secret courts.

My money says DJI is next.

Can your company legally tell me how many FISA warrants and NSL letters they received in my FOIA request?

Of course not.

Genuine question: if Europe is so innovative and has so many clusters, why then did Airbus headquarter Airbus Ventures in Silicon Valley?

[Where and how people spend their money is the best way of measuring what people really think].

Up until a few months/weeks/days ago it didn't stop Chinese companies and people either.

Which way do you think the trend points?

Does anyone know whether the ban on WeChat means WeChat will not be available on iOS in China?

If so, Hauwei must be very happy.

Ok, I did do that[1].

Still no mention of "Chinese patent number CNyyyyy (being a registration of US patent USyyyy) has been violated by Chinese company XXXX"

Are you sure you guys aren't just making this up?

OK, can you give me the both the USA and chinese patent numbers? (You must have them).

I would like to see for myself.

Out of curiosity, how many American companies have Chinese patents (NOT USA patents) that get don't get relief after suing the violator in a Chinese court.

Anyone have numbers?

Hundreds of countries have exchange control.

Yes, put it in a dedicated digester: a plastic rubbish bin with holes submerged into the ground. Add paper and water to get it going.

Nope, LinkedIn is allowed. Please do some homework first

So soon all the tech savvy kids will learn that their favourite apps are only available on the Hauwei app store?

Is Telsa, never mind Buick and VW not at least some evidence that they have?

Synthetic bovine insulin, 1965.

So does China.
