In a similar vein, many Chinese players of Ark are cut-throat players that rampantly cheat. It's not that there aren't cheaters from all cultures, but there seems to be a culture or sub-culture in China that employs cheats as easily as the designed game mechanics to the point that a fun experience is a distant priority behind winning.
No I described my general experience in a certain game, after a specific market was opened. Of course it was a subset, I met like one or two super cool chinese players, even had a few chicken dinners, but the overall experience for me was not worth it after the chinese flooded the game, I and many others simply stopped playing.
How is what I say here similar to what what im complaining about? Am I referring to all chinese dog eating communists? Am I implying I shot them promptly in the face ingame for their gear, because they did it to me?

Yes its possible to stereotype and overgeneralize in a positive way, I can say lot of positive things about China and the chinese, but not really when it comes to online gaming culture, sorry!

Its just a general problem with mixing regions like that, similar things could be said about russians in the EU region of CSGO etc..
I read it a few years ago, when I wanted to know how many methods can there be in a Java class. (count: 2 bytes, but compiler fails to compile such a class a long before that).

Many of the concepts such as structure of class files should still be relevant (fact that all classes start with hex code CAFEBABE etc).

Garbage collection, security should be more or less relevant.
Well if your friend has access to your information, your friend can give that information to a third-party. That's how anything normally works. I didn't explicitly grant my friends or anyone permission to give my information to some specific browser my friend may be using, yet if I explicitly share information with my friend on any social media website, and the friend uses that browser, the browser will get that information. Same with plugins - could I create a website and say, you know what I explicitly do not give permission to the ad blockers to access my information. I can't - that's not how information works - if I give you access, you can give that access to any software you want. Again, this is how anything at all works and certainly with Nest.

The issue right now is every plant is a unique one-off. Meaning the inspectors need to pour over the plans, construction crews need to learn how to build each design specifically, fabricators providing parts need to make each plant's run of stuff special. If we could have just one standard nuclear plant design, even if it was silly curved roofs or whatever, it would massively decrease plant construction costs by taking advantage of standardization.

France did this in the 1970s. They hired engineers to design them 1 single kind of plant that was cheap, safe and would last a long time and then they pumped them out by the dozens. Every plant was the same as every other plant, so construction crews got good at it, part manufacturers could tool up for big production runs and lower per-part cost, and government inspection was drastically simplified because everything on the project was as stock as possible and the original design had already been approved. Now France's problem is it has too much electricity, as it over-estimated how much energy demands would ramp up going into the 21st century, and so now sells excess wattage to Germany.
This is the difference:

"In its place, Game for Peace is very much the type of game that will pass the demands of China’s game censorship body."

The idea being that consumers aren't the primary drivers for changes in what is available in the market. Rather this decision was primarily influenced by a central government body that controls what is available in the market. It's an explicit example of levers being pulled by the government in a planned economy, in contrast to a more "democratic" if you will, market mechanism.

Well you're an open borders advocate, a fine idea for a dictatorship whose water table isn't falling lower and lower every year. But if we stipulate that immigration is to be limited to N people per year, we need some means of determining who gets in and who doesn't. There's no reason why our immigration policy should care about you. I'd say we should let in everybody whose presence makes this country a better place to live. And nobody who makes it worse. That's a selfish, aggressionist policy, and it seems consistent with ethnic/nationality based quotas.
I am on the fence about research like this. On one hand, as an engineer by training it's hard for me to countenance the idea that any research (properly conducted) could be bad. On the other hand, people have been cooking indoors since time immemorial, and even things like toasters are more than a century old. If they were dangerous, we'd know by know. The risk is that such research gets oversold by the media into a panic, as we have seen time and again. Look at what "science" has done for nutrition in the last few decades--upset a bunch of traditional norms, without offering any meaningful advance. Are VOCs (for the most part, "smells") going to be the subject of the same circus as salt and fat?
Just general differences in lifestyle and culture. I've gotten used to living here. There are places I like to go and foods I like to eat and friends that I have made. Saving money on the other hand is important so I feel pretty torn.

The import tariffs are paid by the people inside the importing nation.

A US import tax on Chinese goods is a tax on American consumers and manufacturers.

The way to tax China itself would be an export tax on money bound to China, including the transfers of immobile or intangible assets to Chinese nationals or corporations via domestic exchanges or brokerages--and including the cash value of transferred intellectual property.

Imports are paid for by exports. If you're worried about a trade imbalance, you could always say that the other nation can keep sending more goods if they want, but we'll only pay for them with trade goods and services, not with cash, or ownership of land and capital.
They want to make money, and to limit the number of articles consumed without paying. The way to do that is to have a cookie that tracks it on the client. That is not evil, or for bad ends.

Are you talking about people with temporary non-immigrant visas, or highly skilled immigrants?

https://www.expatica.com/fr/employment/employment-law/work-i...

> After 18 months in a long-stay residence permit marked ‘employee’ or ‘temporary worker’, you may apply to bring your family to France. Spouses (partners are excluded) and minor children can apply for a one-year ‘visitor’ visa (without being able to work during this time), and must sign the CAI.

This policy is very different than that for the 2016 "Talent Passport" permit, which allows the immediate family to migrate immediately and obtain work permits. It seems you are talking about that visa?

The US also has green cards for migrants that allow one to bring their whole family, stay indefinitely, have the family work, and all apply for citizenship after a time. These are fundamentally different visa classes than temporary non-immigrant work visas like the H1B. Unlike France, the US does not require the worker to wait 18 months before bringing their family on the H-4 family visa, they can come right away. Also, the spouse can work, unlike in France according to the above link. So the US policy is much more progressive.

I'm not sure this research applies to kids. Also, you can totally have breakfast and still be fasting, i.e. by following a 16:8 diet (fasting during 16 hours, eating during a 8 hour window).
yes fasting can have benefits, but the way most Muslims do it (in summer specifically) actually hurts. your body needs a minimum amount of water and salt to work properly throughout the day.

> But it's a bit like saying "I don't do business with Iran." Some countries do, others don't.

Almost all countries follow the US imposed sanctions against Iran. If you don't it will be very hard to do business with anyone in the US. Here is an example of a bank from my country being fined by US regulators for allowing transactions to Iran (and Cuba):

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ing-sanctions-idUSBRE85B1...

> A two-year criminal probe was conducted jointly between the U.S. Department of Justice and the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance. The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control conducted its own investigation.

Companies follow those sanctions because they don't want to be slapped by US regulators (they don't have to pay the fine, but that means losing access to the US banking system). Not many western countries besides the US have problems with Iran (as opposed to other middle eastern countries).

> Being fully documented means anything can work in any way.

A protocol being fully documented does not mean you can get a device you cannot control (like an Homekit lightbulb) to connect to your server instead of the manufacturer's. If requests are signed and/or encrypted, knowing the protocol won't help if you don't have the keys. See also Tivoization.

> For example, search the web for ‘homebridge alexa’

I had found it. I don't think you realize that there's no Homekit there at all.

The point of Homebridge is to translate from a Homekit-speaking control app/assistant to a non-Homekit-enabled device:

https://blog.theodo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/workflow....

But when you use homebridge-alexa, you're replacing that first link with another protocol (specifically, MQTT+JSON, which is what it uses to connect to https://www.homebridge.ca/).

So you've actually removed all Homekit parts from your smart home system!

Unlike the US, France does not have birthright citizenship so unless you or your spouse are a French national, your children born in France are not French citizens.

That's why it's an actual skill to translate needs to implementation. It's not one most managers have either, is why when the managers just give you implementation it does not work.

The skill includes working with the stakeholders to develop actionable needs (not just "make our business more efficient"; the obvious place to go from there is, okay, what do we know about where the greatest bottlenecks/inefficiencies are now, if we don't know enough what can we do to learn?).

Also you don't just take needs and come back with a finished feature, you iterate with feedback from the stakeholders. The first iteration might just be a textual description of the feature, to make sure it makes sense to the manager/stakeholder.

It's a skill, and it involves building trust.

But translating needs to features that will succesfully meet those needs is not a skill most managers/stakeholders have either, is exactly why it doesn't work to just get detailed micro-managed implementation directions from managers/stakeholders. (Or customers!).
