This article makes little sense. "Engineering" by definition is some sort of "glue" work that reuses existing libraries/wheels and builds solutions out of them to address specific problems. I as an engineer am proud

That's just the cultural difference between Europe and America in general. Nothing particularly related to the big corps. But you'd also have to consider that the pay is considerably less if you work in Europe compared with workin

I doubt that's what Banksy would have intended though. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he just actually shredded the work.

i.e. basically what Taleb mentioned repeatedly in his books: The power of capitalism lies in its capability to allow people to freely explore all sorts of potential ideas. Many, or even most of them will fail, but some of them will get luck

My take on this is, there is always a certain level of censorship in every country, under every government and platform. Either you truly don't censor anything, e.g. allow ISIS propaganda on your media as well, or you acknowledge that

I've always said to others that programmers are just like plumbers, the only difference being that we use keyboards as our tools instead of drills.

You still fail to see it, do you? Or maybe you're just too blinded by western mainstream propaganda, or even deliberately trumpeting the propaganda. I'm not sure. The whole precondition and reason of all those other countries bei

They sell terminal, personal devices, which is not the same thing as building the 5G network. I think the Snowden revelations have made it perfectly clear that the western governments have been extensively monitoring network traffic/in

This and some of your other comments are some of the most ridiculous ones I've read out there. If somebody posted such a general blanket comment driven by ideology against the American gov without backing it up with any actual evidence

Nobody is shouting or being required to shout. What is lacking is simply evidence on how Amazon was actually "suppressed" by the gov. Without concrete evidence the comments are just echoing blanket anti-chinese propaganda without

That's just such a simplistic and naive view of the matters. You've probably just read too much stereotyping propaganda, unfortunately. A simple example is how Facebook and co. have recently expressed they're looking at WeCha

Well said. The mainstream propaganda is just way too prevalent. If people actually read a bit of history of their own countries they'd immediately find out how brutal the struggles between the western countries have been and how incred

This is at least a more reasonable take on the matter than those pointing fingers at the big, evil Chinese government without any clue what they're talking about.

And that must be why Microsoft, Nike, Starbucks etc. failed so miserably, right? And could you explain how exactly the Chinese gov made things difficult for Amazon? Seriously this whole thread is just amazing, tragic and downright sad.

That's a quite peculiar definition of "troll". Why can't somebody have a particular focus on a certain type of news/discussion? Your comments read much more like trolling.

Could you go into more details on how exactly Amazon was "suppressed" in China while the competitors were helped? If not you're talking out of thin air.

This isn't the config for Mac Mini in 2018 though? Unless you're talking about the earlier half of 2018 when the new Mac Mini hasn't been released yet.
