So... a dehumidifier with a solar panel?

I think it might still be too soon to tell with vaccines. A lot of information from last year regarding effective treatment by using monoclonal antibodies to help combat patients actively experiencing a cytokine storm though.

Production scale Level 5, full autonomous is still many years away. Most people will be happy with Level 3/4 regardless, and those are still better/safer than most of the distracted drivers on the road today.

Genuinely curious why your posts are being downvoted?

Change the display size and also decrease font size far smaller than iPhone allows.

You've pinned a comment at the top arguing against "nationalistic flamewar" type comments. Fair enough, however your own moderating choices seem to paint you as biased in this regard. Why is there an implied double standard for those who post vs. those who moderate/admin?

In an April speech in New York, FBI director Christopher Wray described the reason for the scrutiny of ethnic Chinese scientists. “China has pioneered a societal approach to stealing innovation in any way it can from a wide array of busi­ness­es, universities and organisations,” he told the Council on Foreign Relations. Every­one’s in on it, Wray said: China’s intelligence services; its state-owned and what he called “ostensibly” private enter­prises; and the 130,000 Chinese graduate students and researchers who work and study in the US every year. “Put plainly, China seems determined to steal its way up the economic ladder at our expense.”

This has been going since long before the Trump administration, probably all the way back to the Clinton one.

China needs to adjust their official target of 6-6.5% GDP growth per year - it is completely unsustainable and has caused far too many risks to be taken in order to maintain it.

Unless they want the bubble to pop? I can't imagine the social upheaval it would cause there (and throughout the rest of the world)

Too many candidates on stage. Each of those candidates is prepped to only drop soundbites... best soundbite of the night wins the "debate".

According to OECD DAC statistics, since aid began in the 1960s donors have given a grand total of $502 billion to sub-Saharan Africa, which is worth about $866 billion in today's prices.

Aid has only made things worse for Africa and the world as a whole.

This problem has been known for decades. As of April 2019, 56.1% of the world's population has internet access. Do you think it is acceptable for a major transit ISP to have no basic filters in 2019 let alone implement RPKI?

Can you explain what part of the Cloudflare statement you consider to be posturing? A cursory review of the BGP announcements referenced in the article are pretty clear. Facts are facts regardless of how the message is delivered.

Did you also acquire an ASCAP/BMI license for the music-on-hold? A lot of people are unaware that is classified as a public performance of the music and requires a license. Unless you are playing royalty-free music, in which case you are fine.
