That’s why I’m very happy with the prosecution of Carlos Ghosn in Japan. Yes, this maybe part of an international power game between the two car vendors executives but if there is charges against him he’s not clean either. In France he would had a fake trial like all influencing people have and be sparred from jail or any real consequences. In Japan he risks jail like everyone regardless of his status.
What is sad is the corporate speech in France which looks like this for no reason, because not only people are not really that good in English, but also the used words have French equivalents (e.g. "J’peux pas aller au meeting car j’ai un call avec la team qui bosse en remote").
As I’m living abroad I use a lot of local words in my speech with other French or locals that speak French but most of the time it’s because there is no direct or short equivalent.
Paint3D is not bad per se but replacing the good ol' Paint that everybody like and know how to use was incredibility stupid and hostile towards users. Too bad Microsoft never learn about this kind of moves (Windows 8 UI, Start Menu, etc.)
At lot of forms allow choosing between Shôwa and Heisei, sometime Taishô too. In this case it means adding a third option (Reiwa) which is what is complex for computerized systems.
And the religion involved in the bombing have centuries of history of violence, yet most other civilizations seems to be cool with it (China being the exemption).
This was in France and yes the no-go zones exist. The only mistake reported was their actual locations. If you don’t believe me I’ll gladly organized a tour for you. Works even better if you’re a woman btw.
This is the most probable cause: dozen of churchs degradation have been done since the beginning of the year. Two days ago a pakistani destroyed things at Saint Denis, and last month there was a fire at Saint Sulpice. Everyone knows who can have done that but will the government will have the balls to say the truth? This is our 09/11.
Exactly. The sheer fact that the headline use "Katie Bouman" instead of Dr. Bouman or name her at all shows that the important point conveyed by the title and the article is the sex of the researcher. Don't believe it? BBC didn't use the name of Pr. Honjo and Pr. Allison for the Nobel prize of Medecine. [1] I guess getting a Nobel prize is not important enough to be mentioned in headline... for men.
It have a lot of functions but it is still very lacking on the UX side. I launched it today for small image correction and had to wait literally for minutes. Also, no native file picker, dialog boxes losing focus and becoming unclickable, no way to find how to move text object, all that frustrating things happen in the same 15 minutes of use.
That’s exactly the theory developed by circles like the red pill. More access to potential partners with less social control lead to a winner take all situation. In addition, and it is addressed in the OP, women try to get partners which are higher on the social scale while men mostly focus on beauty.
I have been registered as a student in 5 French universities and I can tell you that even if I can get "any" paper if I can enter a library (which is a joke in itself), sci-hub is 10 times more convient than the bureaucracy involved. The only time I requested a book from the stock, the librarian didn't even give it to me pretexting it was lost... probably because did like me as I had an unopened sandwich in hand.
Probably some negative impact. Sci-hub is the primary and in some case only way to access paywalled papers at master and undergrad level. I’m not sure how PhD students get access to them but if it through libraries this is bad for them as the opening days and hours of such institutions is limited. Even more so which strikes which sometimes close a library for weeks.
Pr Mair have his opinion on the matter, I have mine. And while he his famous in his field, given I have formal education in Japanese at the MA level, some self taught Chinese proficiency (mostly reading) and linguistic knowledge (mostly phonology) about both these languages and some of their older varieties, I would not blindly follow his advice that I think is misleading.
That doesn't mean Chinese education is perfect right now, and I also think that traditional characters, while seeming more complex can be better for beginners as the system has a more regular internal consistency. And it's easier to learn simplified when knowing traditional than the reverse.
