More like "someone small said something mean about China, now China wants to fuck shit up". This doesn't hurt China much, and isn't even legally binding by the sound of it. They just take 0 shit from anyone they regard as a 2-bit player.
Another example: They've pretty much fed their friends in Myanmar to pro-democracy rebels over some local organised crime thing on the border.
Knowing China, a phone call involving someone from the US as well as Zelensky would probably go a long way. I doubt Xi is particularly invested in Chinese companies helping Russia, but he would take issue with Ukraine not going through him about it.
So then I guess C is salamander. Also lays eggs and lives by a pool, but doesn't do anything extra, and is a necessary step before most of the other modern languages.
COBOL is a coelacanth. To everyone's surprise, they're still out there. We thought they were an old, very extinct example of a non-terrestrial lobe-finned fish, but they actually hung on in some odd environments. They cause massive indigestion to anyone that has to consume them.
If Node is a mosquito, Javascript itself is another hymenopteran: the yellow jacket wasp. Just as hated, and with a tendency to injure handlers, but widely successful and defended as filling an actual useful role in nature. They build delicate, arguably pretty nests.
Roaches don't spread nearly as much disease as 'squiters, and IIRC are actually important in some ecosystems.
Yep, that will fix the underlying weakness! /s
This and things like banning short sells are bad news on two fronts, in that they both reveal a problem and will be ineffective at solving it.
I wonder if this is actually an effective motivator for most people. It's just way too easy to look away.
What, could you have done better in 70-whatever?
Alright, I'll never, ever write something this way now. Good to know.
Absolutely not. Demographic data shows it's shit, income distribution data is best explained by a random walk process (neat graphic explainer here), and all the data on startups and investing show that there's no free lunch; capitalism actually does ensure everything gives the same steady return on average.
Every rich person won some sort of lottery. Even the bona-fide engineers are never the only ones that could have invented whatever thing - as technical person myself.
Honestly this seems less evil than a lot of stuff Google itself does.
I'm guessing nobody checks anything at this point. They hear a rumour, they bomb it. And, of course, there's going to be a small but significant number of people on the Israeli side fabricating rumours whole-cloth.
Let's be real, both sides do. One just does it in English.
