If you are searching for "Java" by exam time, it's too little, too late. I wonder if medical students are searching for "biology" at exam time

There are some women downtown who are working from the street. How do the 70%+ in Germany who don't work in Office/computer jobs take advantage of this Law?

The writer is a dingbat named Wendy Liu. You don't have to go back to the 50s. The Soviet Union was one huge downhill slide from day one. By the time the 80s hit, their inferiority as a producing economy was beyond apparent. There was no propaganda that would hide it. The USSR only ever exported raw materials (oil, metals, lumber, etc) and agricultural products. There was no demand for any of the garbage they patched together, using outdated technology. It wasn't for the lack of aptitude. It due to the complete the lack of motivation and updated knowledge/skills. If there is no competition, there is no reason for improvement and one-upmanship. Since all companies were state-owned, there was no competition between them. People just did enough to afford their nightly bottle of vodka.

The bonehead behind this "fantasy novel" is Wendy Liu. She has no perspective on what is happening in her own country (under the CCP dictatorship) and not even an inkling of the history (and present state) of communist countries. No profit = no motivation to improve. There wasn't a single manufactured commercial product that the USSR could export - even to its allies (aside from military technology). Any manufactured product, from vehicles to electronics - clothing to toilet paper, was immediately inferior even to outdated to foreign good. It wasn't that long ago, but she obviously never experienced it.... or cared to research it. The Chines economy itself grew almost exclusively through the actions of foreign capitalists. It would be a 3rd world country to this day if not for them.

Exactly.. that's the point where the article's BS became clear . Reads more like a cry for attention than a substantive article

Spreading information is great.. however, in North Korea, the only segment of the population that can get any kind of benefit from this kind of speech, is the dictatorship. The population doesn't have internet access, or the ability to get involved in bitcoin mining/use in the foreseeable future. The side effect of being an overzealous activist. They have such a hate-on for their own government, they see roses when looking at even the worst kind of dictator.
