I'm not an American, but as far as I could tell Americans grow up learning the history about Russian being the arch-enemy, so Russia hacking is so much easier to digest. China's is a relatively new threat. On top of that, it could

I use Adobe XD. Compared to Sketch, it doesn't have as many plugins. Compared to Origami, the animation controls are not as fine. Compared to PaintCode, it can only export styles. However, it's free, plus there are lots of templat

Not sure what the government is trying to achieve by shutting down the airport and sending in the police to clear the scene. AFAIK the protesters are not causing any trouble there, no flights are affected. There are many who chose to sit-in

Seems you are one of the few who understands what I'm trying to say. Over time greed and corruption take over. I live in Hong Kong, which is the most extreme example of this. And I've also witnessed how this whole process is accel
