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

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

"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 gove

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 applicati

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.

The Shenzhen model is really nothing anywhere close to Xerox PARC. If any place gets close, I'd say it's Microsoft Research. But even that has changed a lot in the last few years. Disclaimer: I work there.

In all seriousness, Who cares? I don't. It's like discussing life after death. I'm fine with just this one.

I agree that the US prison system has many human rights issues, but Kim's extradition was approved due to the fraud and racketeering charges, not due to the copyright infringement accusations. No idea how it works if he's extradit

I call that distinction the difference between an elegant and a clever solution. Clever being what you mention. If the programmer can't tell the difference when implementing, then go for a simpler version, as you suggest. - Elegant: Ni

No no no. Finish is a machine gun language. And a broken one at that. Everything sounds like ratatata ta ta. PS: Too long working for Nokia, I guess. ;)

Not quite true. If I recall correctly, each country picks a language and Ireland didn't choose English.

Research (especially pure research) and innovation are many times initially incompatible with rational economic behaviour.

If this happens to washing machines, I guess it either was a pretty good idea for them to sell their Techwin subsidiary a couple years ago, or they miss working in that field. :)

Dual-lens is not even new on phones too. And of course others valued having a computer on their pocket, Nokia was one of the first smartphone manufacturers after all. Not to say they didn't both screwed up and underestimated the iPhone
