Unfortunately that's pretty much all of the companies...
It's worse than limited symptom-treating, they'll have no need to purchase data at all when they can just compel domestic companies to hand the data over China-style:
The default result? Dude, in what century are you living?
Actually, if Biden gets in again, there may not be a "next guy" either but for a different reason.
I'm really curious about what this might be. Sure, there would almost certainly be a "next girl" but there could be subsequent "next guys" after that...
US to China: Nobody gets away with turning all their megacorporations into arms of a giant state surveillance apparatus - except us!
There is plenty of work for an aerospace engineer outside of manufacturing. Maintenance for example. Or accident investigation.
- Govt. employees can not wear anything that might even remotely be characterized as religious.
This s the complete opposite of how the things are in Chechnya.
No worries, the heat will return in the summer, with a vengeance.
There already is an opening in the market - Boeing has manufacturing problems and Airbus cannot build their planes fast enough to satisfy the demand. Neither China nor anyone else are able to use that opening because China finds it too difficult to ramp up production of their C919, Russia is under sanctions and they were never able to mass manufacture airliners in the first place and as for the rest of the world, developing an airliner is difficult and expensive - even if a country is sufficiently developed, it will take "fucking years, absolutely years" to create an airliner from scratch and by then the next aviation crisis might arrive and kill off the design, like it happened with the Mitsubishi regional jet.
Yep, most likely a line technician forgot to lock the cowling after replenishing engine oil.
I get it that people don't RTFA since I am not new here. But the 50 anniversary is literally mentioned in the summary. I guess nowadays people just read the headline.
Merkel, with her habit of doing nothing as the world around crumbles, is directly responsible for the current sorry state of affairs.
It's good news that this "DRM developer" took 6 months to do what a DRM cracker did in less than 2 weeks. "DRM developer" is also one of the most openly villainous job titles I've ever run across.
Canada seems like a poster child for the failures of FPTP voting. For many decades they've had 2-3 leftist-to-centrist parties that attract voters who would all agree to put the tories well down the list of parties they'd like to have in charge (just above any far-right fringe parties that might appear, maybe also the most leftist party for some), and these parties get significant fractions of the vote, but the tories often win because they get more votes than any one of those 2-3 parties. In a ranked-choice system the tories wouldn't win just because the majority doesn't agree on their #1 choice for who they'd vastly prefer to have in power instead.
FPTP's tendency to force moderate outcomes is not an advantage even if it can seem appealing at times - it merely acts as a pressure vessel for extremism, holding it in with Kang vs. Kodos/Douche vs. Turd choices that disappoint a majority of voters across the spectrum until it explodes with the election of an anti-democratic candidate like Trump.
I agree that most people merely tolerate democracy rather than actually want it. FPTP does have a tendency to produce 2-party systems however:
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
