Yes. But Japan has been mostly, um, "inert" and peaceful since WW2. China's history since WW2, to this day, has been one of one atrocity after another. Things seem to be getting worse with Winnie the Pooh declaring him eternal president.

Also, if Japan was Asia raping in WW2, China is China-raping now.

It is disturbing because China did not hesitate to kill 10000 of their own people in 1989 on a shoestring budget, and faced no consequence. Who knows what they would do to Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, etc.

What if the user requests to be put on a do-not-send list (for email newsletters, etc)? Is that data that can and must be preserved?

It seems that since the gpdr requires deletion of data upon user request, companies will not be able to send recall notices when, say, a medical device starts killing customers.

I don't recall how it was back in 2009, but you definitely don't need to be a JavaScript expert to have passionately useless opinions about it.

Yes I have. Convolutional Nets work well for simpler cases. See [Yoon Kim 2014](https://arxiv.org/abs/1408.5882). FYI "Tagging" in NLP is more used for labelling individual words (verbs, nouns, pronouns, etc). "Classification" is a better keyword here.

Snap should hire Craig Newmark. He was able to get away with pimping prostitutes on his site for a decade+.

It isn't. A fresh 'ng serve --open' takes ~20 seconds to get to a ready page, and each reload is taking 10+ average. Every minor change.

I can personally stand it because I remember working on 2 million line C++ projects in the 90's. The millennials on my team, on the other hand, are going insane. I've recommend they disable live-reloading completely.

I'll take more time with my family and a little ostracism over a 80 minute commute on BART and an open office any day of the week.

All I want for Angular are better error message and better browser-refresh times. Right now on 4 I get a meaningless page of gobbledeguck for most error (b/c of transpilation) and 12 seconds to reload the page.
