The good news is that in theory both the importer and the exporter profit from that relation. Otherwise said relation wouldn't exist.

I feel like the answer is "let some time pass". I think the majority of electric cars will eventually come form China. They are serious about the banning of non-electric cars and will be set up to deal with it once that happens. T

I'm 10k words into my little writing hobby and will try this. Imported two chapters and I like the simplicity and aesthetics a lot. Absolutely love setting X words and having it tracked...simple, intuitive, awesome. I'm slowly get

While it's cool they wrote this and fun to read it's also a good piece for them in the sense that they advertise that they were/are involved in all the "hot deals".

I commute about 1h each way via train. I have realized that music with lyrics distracts my brain quite a bit because it keeps trying to parse the text. Since I like to read on the train (or just do nothing and let my brain rest) I have crea

AFAIK only the GPA matters as you have said (it's called Numerus Clausus or NC in Germany). If you look it up in a list, keep in mind that the German scale and the US 4 point GPA scale are reversed. 4.0 is the worst passing grade here

There's also massive sales tax fraud that is at least tolerated by Amazon. I 'm pretty sure there are some (silent) investigations of this in Germany. Basically container, usually from China->Amazon warehouse; fulfilled by Amaz

I think daily income of an undergraduate level engineer in countries like India is in the 10-15$/day range. It's substantially lower in some African countries. It's pretty strange that the software industry seems incapable of

If only Gimp wasn't so odd to use as a verb. Perfect time to start a "Adobe says don't photoshop it" campaign :)

I generally think it's crazy to hold someone responsible for the software they wrote, even if it has no theoretical "good use". The person using the software should be responsible. That being said it's even crazier if th

Just to clarify. the two incidents I was referring to were Chernobyl and Fukushima (as they are INES 7). The Three Mile you mention was "only" INES 5. I'd argue it's still pretty bad but INES 7 is what I'd consider

Not related to hypotheses but most axiomatic systems and the apparatus of deduction that accompanies them would probably qualify as they are not scientific (by the circular definition that anything that uses the scientific method is scienti

One could argue that it is because of philosophy (of science) that you even consider "a set of verifiable, falsifiable statements that every practitioner can and has agreed upon" as a litmus test (or demarcation criterion) for wha

Pretty ridiculous. I mean I get that annotations add value but if they are required an annotated version should be available to all citizens. Malamud's fighting a good fight here, hats off. cough, cough I wonder if the free version o

I'd be interested in hearing if people share my habit of always reading 3ish nonfiction books in parallel. I have a pretty hard time sticking to one. It's usually a programming or related book, some science book and some pop-scien

The entire clean energy argument depends on your classification of nuclear energy. Long term storage issues put it squarely in the unclean category for me so I'd argue that US energy is by and large pretty unclean. I'm also pricin

So errrrm...am I completely out of touch with the world for not knowing who PewDiePie is (or what the incident referenced was)? Why not explain that in the beginning? There's a link later but I kind of went through most of the article

You seem like you know what you're talking about. I know pretty much nothing about freeze drying. 600$ to 1k$ actually seems reasonable enough for my personal production. Would I need anything else? My mental model of the process is...

I'd say this is false. I'd love to watch more videos when I commute. My Pay TV provider even offers a download option for their streaming sub service(DRMed and self destructing after X days I think, never tried it) which would ind

The "black hair care market" is one of the curious things I've pondered about since spending some time in Africa. I think they are onto something and I think it's one of the markets where you can build a nice lead withou

So I guess pitching anything that's dataviz as "Palantir for X" is a thing now? I need to update my Ys in my Y for X list. Uber for X and Palantir for X are the new hotness it seems.

Very, very good. It shows the kind of trust in employees that I like to see. Depends a bit on how they will interpret "As long as the work isn’t related to GitHub’s own “existing or prospective” products and services" but I'd

Agree with a lot of this. If Google wanted they could probably even give some extra boost to forms of publication they endorse. I'd love to see Open Access weighted higher in Scholar and they could add an extra boost for "interact

To my surprise certain subfields of CS don't use LaTeX at all or rarely and use MS-Word instead. You kind of have no choice since the conference/journal templates are only provided in one format (well you can create your own templ
