Actually...I doubt that. At least in US, for the company I worked for, I don't think there is an option for me to be paid in cash in the first place. Even in reality people use check though, that still requires a bank account.

Well, Brazil had to sell those soybeans somewhere. Their economy is half bankrupt already anyway. If not China, where are going to send all the natural resources to, with its current price? Presumably not US, who is also desperate trying to sell its own gases/agricultural products to the world. They are competitors, not friends.

In worst case, China can just reduce the consumption of livestock, after all that is what soybeans had been used for, while finding replacements somewhere else. As long as they have enough rice, China will be fine.

France is losing its war against digital populism amid a large scale of economic stagnation, might be a better title.

I am curious about what exactly do you think culture revolution had broken.

Looking at other ethnic Chinese dominant areas, Hong Kong/Taiwan, which are supposedly unaffected by cultural revolution, I don't think the mainlanders are any way 'less' Chinesey than they are. The young people I met from HK/TW, their lack of understanding/knowledge of ancient Chinese history/literature is really embarrassing, yet they are pretty proud of such.

Not to mention that before KMT takes over, Taiwan had been colonized by Japan for 50 years, and Hong Kong by British for 100 years. If they can retrain/recover their Chineseness shortly after WW2, and being hailed as epitome of Chinese culture, I can't see how mainland China can't sustain its own culture from a 10 year madness.

Only thing I felt is probably I am personally less superstitious, thanks to the on paper atheism from the CCP.

Not to mention that the API is very intuitive and programmer friendly. For me, using Mobx doesn't force me to write things its own way, but instead enables me to write things MY way, but just hook it up with Mobx when needed. It is a more of a library than a framework, a guest not a intruder.

While with Redux, not that I am bitching about it, it first states that I need to accept several principles before I can better appreciate it. Then here comes all the middlewares, like redux-saga/redux-thunk and the list goes on. As a causal, meaning I am not writing js fulltime but do use it in some non-trivial situtation when needed, I feel it quite heavy and burdensome, making hesitant to adopt it unless being asked to.

Vote for Mobx to replace Redux. Having done so, not missed a bit.

Exactly. I think MS is a doing a gesture job to showcase their code, but they are not open sourcing the roadmap to the community, which is fine by me actually.

Who would know it is deployed on another countries' citizens? If anything it is the Saudi who chose to use it, why shift the blame to the original developer? Hope you understand the point now.

Guns, cars and knives can kill people too. Also drugs and alcohol, how about banning people working on those stuff?

Well. Technology is technology, how would the developer predict how their code is being used? Also the developer owns NO rights of their written code, the right to license it to the Saudis here is from Israel government.

Control the consumption of oil market is no small power either.

There is also a big distinction as regards to which tax goes to central government which goes to local(provincial) government. I believe the land sales mainly goes to the latter, while VAT is split between those two.
