"Hmm, government backdoor access to data through communications technology. Where would the NSA get an idea like that?"
Talk about throwing rocks in glass houses!
And a powerful throw, come to that. TFA:
Each time the company [Huawei] has denied the allegations, and government investigations consistently fail to turn up any hard evidence.
So, NSA would have the technical ability and all the interest in the world to demonstrate it.
As they didn't, I suspect that the only "rational" explanation is they got sidetracked into... ummm... Of course, the very hypothesis that's nothing to be found in the first place is preposterous, the US govt told us so! As they also told us they're not spying on us... yea, well... spying just a little but for our own good... 'Cause, you see, sucking Africa dry of their precious data is what those chinese want, see? Be afraid, be very afraid of it...
The main info I added: he's a waiter with no formal training and no direct flight experience.
There was no attempt at humor in my post. BTW, the person I just referenced who built one in his basement is both a geek and a Slashdotter, so really not sure what point you're trying to make?
No, indeed, you didn't. My apologies for "riding" on your post with my rants (feelings got mixed into my main point, I realise now it was a wrong place to express my displeasure to post like:
* Authenticity - questioning the authenticity of the seats cover
* Too much time in his hands - questioning his sex life
* Re: what software - implying he doesn't know what flight simulator he uses
* Figures - complaining a photo frame isn't straight
and these even ignoring AC posts)
But haven't dozens of people already done this over the years?
I reckon this demonstrates French waiters may have the same technical prowless as US private pilots (and heaps more than a bunch of/.-ers how call themself geeks but all they can do is attempts of lame humor... vous defier dire ce n'est pas comme ca... G'day, mate, good on you!)
But you're not being prevented from observing the functionality of the program. Indeed, this design presumes it.
Except the directive uses the functioning not the functionality. Indeed, for the purpose of integration, one absolutely needs the how it does details (i.e. functioning) rather than the what it does (functionality).
What they can't print are the things like the logic boards and connectors. However those aren't often made in China anyways, usually they're made in domestic facilities and then sent to China for assembly.
Ummm... what???? I'd rather say, more often than not, that's exactly where they are made. Unless they choose to outsource them... I don't know.... say, Africa?

I think he's comparing learned abilities ("skills") versus natural abilities ("talent"). I don't agree with the choice of terms, but I think it's what he means. If so, I'd say "talent" is more important, because "skills" can be learned, while inherent abilities can't.
Without a proper nurture, talent is getting wasted. In other words: if you don't have an environ that can support it, the valuable "currency" will be skills not talent. Now, the homework... go read again what Zuck's up to and consider the value of talent from this perspective.
What war did the US wage against China? England screwed with them plenty, but the US has generally fought against their enemies or only indirectly in proxy wars.
Besides, the last election showed a change in the added spices and... yes, not to be missed... we've seen some Queenslander's eggs being powdered in the process (and now being reconstituted), so nobody can deny it was interesting. As the patrons pay only if they do not order, the change in the served dishes will happen if enough patrons ask for a it.
Yeah, but the only alternative is the "Liberal Party".
What?. Mate, the ballot paper looks like an Asian grocery shelf and you complain about the lack of choice?
Plastic magnifying sheets will be installed in voting booths to help Victorians navigate their way through what could be the biggest ever Senate ballot paper.
Victorians could be faced with a 1.02 metre Senate ballot paper at the 2013 federal election, the maximum size it can be printed, with the font size reduced to 6 point to fit all the candidates' names.
The number of registered political parties has almost doubled since the 2010 election from 25 to 46, and another 11 parties are waiting to be processed.
Yes, where's this heading to?!?... why, next thing you know, they'll legalize whistleblowing and impose transparent governance as a rule of law! It may well be the end-of-world-as-we-know-it!
Richard Stallman: We should join our hands together and sing songs, using copyright against them!
Be careful what you sing, though. The interpretation of music is regulated by the copyright law, even when that music is only expressed in the form of music sheet.
For instance, don't sing "Happy birthday to you" in public until the matter of its copyright is not settled, otherwise you may be liable to pay royalties.
Slashdotters: Screw profits! Digital blue prints want to be freeeeeeeee!
By an unfortunate coincidence, blue-prints and music sheets are both... a design for an artistic form of expression.

...I'll need to expatriate or be out of a job. Providing digital-age tools and infrastructure to Africa is an incredibly smart move for China.
See? You already know where to apply for immigration (I bet the NBN is going to take longer to build).

Your story about paying fines is not related to your first link at all.
My story about fines demonstrates Europe is not shy to impose them, even on more unsubstantial grounds.
That's quite deceptive, I must say.
My apologies, but I'm afraid your compulsion (of saying something) is not quite my fault.

Why can't I print those?
Because the amount of filament required will cost you more.
Does this mean 3D printers put China out of business?
You wish... what it actually means: China will be the number one 3D printer manufacturer.
... I think the 3D printer would take a long time to break even.
Unless... mmmm... unless our friends start selling 3D printers at lower prices. Probably in a year or two.
I wonder... have they tried our Chinese friends?

So skill? Talent?...
Neither. It's H1B visas.
Yes, it really is that bad.
Agreed.

Computers and robots will replace hard workers way before smart workers.
Have you considered the "Good enough" factor into the equation? The pointy-haired bosses usually don't want smart employees but fungible ones.
Who will feed you then? The State?
The above mentioned pointy-haired bosses, if they please so.
Nah, I think that would be talented working...
Neither. It's compiling
Parents who tell kids to share their toys should be arrested also. It's killing the Toys R us franchise.
Of course! The only shares nobody is arrested when they got busted are the ones used by Wall Street.
It's not affordability, it's fashion
What war did the US wage against China? England screwed with them plenty, but the US has generally fought against their enemies or only indirectly in proxy wars.
Ummm... let's see: Chinese exclusion act?
* boxers rebellion and especially the aftermath?
Well, you can still order
* mango and bean sprouts salad (but don't mix seafood into, it may become explosive!) with or without a side of feta
* shipwreck stew or...
* even Ecuadorian sitting duck
