Let's also remember that some countries (like the UK) don't even include deaths in care homes in their numbers(!).

Mine sometimes are. ;)

Nokia was originally a pulp mill (1870s), which produced input to make paper. And it also produced paper in the 1950s and 60s.

0. The same costs of when I attended it at 17. Public federal university in Brazil.

PS: Of course it’s not exactly free as everyone pays taxes. Just following the premise in the article.

Don’t forget that Nokia was originally a paper company.

Breitbart in the “trusted news” section? Wow...

Isn’t the common acronym for him MBS?

China is becoming one of LEGO’s biggest markets, but their store presence here is still minimal. According to the article, 140 of the new stores will be in China.

I’m sure there’s plenty room for growth in a couple other markets as well.

For whatever it’s worth, I can access HN from China right now.

I also don’t remember any access issues since living here. But I don’t often access it on the open net.

Microsoft's approach would likely be xCloud. https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/13/18263405/microsoft-xcloud...

The team is aware of the website outage and it should be back online soon.

That’s actually the same model the Hong Kong MTR company applies for the subway lines it manages in mainland China (like lines 4, 14, and 16 in Beijing). Buy land right where lines will pass and near stations and develop it.

I've been here (Beijing) for 6y and currently have no plans to leave. But I also don't think I've ever really considered settling down here.

Life in general is still quite interesting, and I like the city, love the food and travelling around in China. But government and rule changes, the bad pollution days, crazy real state market, all contribute to not settling down per se.

This again links back to the Finish system. It doesn’t stand alone by itself. All the other social services are also in place.

Teach them to code and do it together! ;)

EU - UK vs. Russia

Ukraine as the "trial" case?

Part of my family in Sweden still uses the names of their houses to this day; and it works.

I kinda like that. But it really doesn't scale.

You're very mistaken if you think either Russia or China are homogeneous societies.

And I'm not sure Russia can be considered a locked down regime in recent years. Unless you mean specifically Putin's grasp on power.

I've been living here for 5y and I work in a research lab. A lot of talent is deciding to stay here or come back (Chinese that went to study/work abroad). Attracting foreign talent is a little different, but so far the government is not really worried about that.

I can only see the trend speeding up. Especially as/if the environment (air quality, etc.) improves. This now, in my personal view, seems to be the main factor for many people to decide to come or not.

Where did you get the area numbers? China is larger than the US in land area (9,326,410 km2 vs. 9,147,593).

MSRA has multiple positions open, especially in the Big Data Mining and Software Analytics groups. Please check the website if interested and ask questions here.

I'm a Sr. Research Dev Lead here and I can try to help point you to the right teams. My email is in my profile.

MSR is a separate org, but inside AI+R.

Proper version control would already be a huge gain.

"Decolonized" reads way too light. It was a 13 or 14 years long war (depending on how you count) before independence and that has left huge scars in the country. Not to mention that the war mostly ended because the Portuguese government fell in 1974.

Also, Macau was only returned to China in 1999.

In my view the main problem is in sharing those files with others. Other systems may not support those chars or the other users may not be aware of how they are sorted and even how to type them in a search.

It used to be basically impossible to get one, but that has changed recently with these fast track processes. However, each location has different rules and durations for the process and it's common for rules to change during application; or for the process to take years longer than the official length. Not to mention processes that "freeze" and there is no feedback on why it happened. All of which end up making the whole process extremely hard. Moreover, the exact implications of getting PR are not clear in regards to rights, taxation, or other obligations. It will probably take a non-trivial amount of time for things to stabilise and be clearer.

Nope. Many of the rules to obtain one and the implications of having "Chinese green card" are opaque or undefined. And It expires in 10 years; IF you manage to get one. Regulations for work visas also change very very frequently. Source: Living in China for 5+ years and going through these.

Beijing and Shanghai also have it. But even as "fast track" these are still completely opaque and random. Also, temporary.

It should be working now. Can you confirm?
