For example, lets say that you work at Apple. Walking down the hallway one day you see Tim Cook trip and fall on the way to the lunch area. The fall is really bad and he is unconscious and bleeding heavily. If you immediately sell your Apple stocks based on that, that would be insider trading.
If you try to change it again during the 30-60 minutes propagation time, then you need to try even more passwords passwords. Too complex to deal with.
Recently I'm writing code that interacts with API of a Enterprise Product (fairly new, less then 3 years old) and its driving me crazy. They version every single API endpoints separately. So endpoint A to create a user is at version 7 but endpoint B to assign a group to a user is at version 4.
WTF?
Before the Solutions Privilege people write me with “Well, what’s YOUR way to measure nonprofit effectiveness, huh?!” I already wrote about this in “How the concept of effectiveness has screwed nonprofits and the people we serve.” It boils down to challenging established white norms of data and evaluation
Can we talk about this without being so judgemental?
Remember that this doesn't apply to roaming users or people buying Travel SIM for China, but those people are not a big worry.
To get a SIM card right now in China you need to have valid identification. The only ones that are acceptable are: 1) China Resident Identity Card; or 2) non-Chinese passport. Both of these already have photos.
China is being very smart here, they have leverage in this over the Philippines. The Philippines will eventually accept the nine dashed line and obey China on it. I mean they even won at The Hague and it changed nothing.
One of the neighbours has an 12 camera setup with a NVR. They just took the NVR.
Except when I buy a can of Cola I pay 10 cents deposit. When I return it I get 5 cents deposit refund.
Hong Kong Island (where majority of people live) was given to UK with no lease limits. Kowloon and New Territories were leased to UK for 99 years in 1898. So, in theory UK only needed to return Kowloon and New Territories. Of course, this wasn’t practical. It’s like giving Manhattan to another country but keeping Queens and Brooklyn. So in 1994 UK agree to return all 3 (Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and New Territories) in 1997.
Why the downvote? The Wikipedia article even backs it up: "The Basic Law ensured Hong Kong will retain its capitalist economic system and own currency (the Hong Kong Dollar), legal system, legislative system, and people's rights and freedom for fifty years, as a special administrative region (SAR) of China." -- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_country,_two_systems
