Thank heavens the US government is not killing its citizens.

If I take your comment, run a s/China/USA/g over it, then it is still absoutely right.

Aussie here. There are plenty of BYD on the roads.

I was standing at a bus stop the other day. An astonishing looking car pulled up in the traffic opposite me. It had a remarkable eye catching design. I checked it out from side front and back while it waited for the traffic lights. It was a BYD.

I would not touch a Tesla but would I buy a Chinese EV? Absolutely. Prefer a hybrid for the long distances, though, my next door neighbour has one.

In the eighties, fourth generation languages or 4GLs were going to spell the end of programming. Business people would design and implement the systems.

Well, that was the theory, or scaremongering, anyway.

Trouble is, that last 10% of the task is what takes most of the time.

First: Valve loot boxes are unequivocally gambling

Second: the lawsuit will fail because

a) Valve will engage persuasive barristers who can convince the jury
b) the jury will have many people who look down upon the various people who are suckered by the loot boxes
c) in looking down upon them, they will vote against them i.e. in favour of Valve

I can find no evidence of anyone, apart from Naoko Takeda, being offered a retention salary increase offer.

In her case, that included a pay increase of around 75%.

Is there any hard evidence of anyone apart from data scientist Naoko being offered huge retention bonuses?

Not even any pretence to behaving legally or ethically

By marking a dataset with a flag, how could that lead anyone to believe that Harry Potter books are in the public domain and can be freely used.

It's not about the quality of the writing - if Harry Potter is fair game then what is off limits?

I guess that being in an environment where cheating is the norm gets into the blood.

Unless I'm missing something the report does not say which audio path went through the mud and banana.

Was it the analog signal from the amp to the speakers?

Or the digital signal, for example audio shops like to upsell expensive HDMI cables?

IP filtering on RDP saved me, and a business system I look after, when CVE-2019-0708 (BlueKeep) arrived. I love filtering by IP.

That guy who wanted it removed seems like a knobhead.

This command makes a handy desktop icon shortcut, along with another for /r , for the very lazy like myself.

You click File, click Info, and click "Open file location" - the one at the top. Not the "Open File Location" under Related Documents down the bottom right. The folder on your local machine opens in Windows File Explorer.

That's the case for Office Professional 2019. I can't say if it is the same for the 365 versions.

Yes this explanation makes sense. I would occasionally see similar reports when I was active in Evernote, but it always seemed the user had deleted the files themselves and blamed the system. I think we all know people who don't know what they are doing but blame anyone but themselves.

This quote is from quora from a year ago. Makes a lot of sense to me.

The average life span of the Citizens of Muslim countries is less than what is average for the whole world. Only Qatar has the highest life expectancy among Muslim countries and it is ranked at 37th spot in the world. Countries that are ranked higher in life span than Qatar are all alcohol consuming countries.

Alcohol in moderation is not going to kill u. What will kill u is the heavy consumption of animal products. And Muslims consume lot of animal meat. Sacrificing animals is big part of Islamic religious ritual. Latest data from China study , EPRI study in Europe, Nurses study in US and other studies conclude that consumption of animal products are harmful to our biology. You should avoid them altogether.

This gave me something to ponder ... in practice what would a suicidal pilot, when descending to the ocean after running out of fuel (I assume he waited til that point), do? Would he glide it like a skipper rock across a pond, or go steep and fast?

Here in Oz when that happens, you can have one at the shelf price.
