The main motivation for Chinese to want to go abroad is to escape the hot smoggy climate, and move somewhere cool and green. They love the UK for this reason.
What kind of smog have you been inhaling? The UK climate is almost universally hated, it is one of the single worst things about the country and people from the hot-humid cope exceptionally poorly. Additionally the Chinese tend to concentrate within major cities, which would put them in places like London, one of the smoggiest and most polluted cities in Europe which can on a bad day match the air quality of Beijing.
So while you're posting pictures from the Telegraph: Try this one: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/con... There's some doom and gloom articles too: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sci... Mind you this is telegraph grade reporting at it's finest. You will find another article talking about how much cleaner the air is in London. They couldn't tell their heads from their asses.
Anyway point is that while Chinese are flocking to the UK, the wonderful sunshine and clean air have nothing to do with it. Education system, very easily obtainable visas for certain age groups, and easily convertible status to permanent residents after study combined with the good economic prospects of the UK is what brings them over. This has increased in the past 5-10 years as other previously hot destinations like Australia have increasingly raised the bar to foreign nationals, not for study, but for settling, working, and investing.
Stay tuned for 2017 figures. Pulling the pin on the metaphorical Brexit hand-grenade has changed that dynamic quite a bit.
Sure there's enough info. What could possibly justify him committing an illegal act of industrial sabotage?
I will judge him. Whatever the situation he was in, he made the wrong decision. Management hurt his feelings? Management raped babies and shot his dog? Doesn't matter. Either way given what he did and what the jury found it sounds like he's up for some time to reflect on his actions.
Working hard? Who said we were working hard? Also this isn't a waste. Replying to shit talk is an active hobby of mine.
While I hate driving a car stuck in traffic I get up early in the day just to take the opportunity to remind people like you how stupid your comments really are.

Google is trying to migrate to CTRL-Shift-I
By trying to migrate to you mean has been using since it's inception right? It also makes sense. There are multiple developer shortcuts that land you in different places, all Ctrl+shift+something. Why should one suddenly be F12 (which still works might I add). Frankly I'm happy I can bring up the developer console on my laptop without reaching for the function shift key.
Try to find the cookies or SSL certificates. Depending on the version of Chrome, they're not gonna be in the same place. Why? What problem are they trying to solve?
The problem that the previous place was retarded for something only developers look at when you have a dedicated developer toolbox.
All that was needed in terms of features and capabilities was already present in Firebug years ago.
Yep, and bloody hard to find at the time too. Your problem is you got used to something and someone moved your cheese.
People who commute. Those who consider driving as "fun" are those who typically shouldn't be doing it on the road, or at least on a busy road.
I would pay top dollar to recover 8 hours of my week, 48 weeks of the year which are otherwise completely fringing wasted doing the single most mind numbing thing people routinely do.
Who would want a self driving car? Those who fall asleep at the wheel. Those who'd rather watch TV. Those people who get dressed in their car, put on makeup in their car. That stupidly large number of people who'd rather tap away on their mobile phones, or those who find other ways of not paying attention to where they are going.
School holidays next week. It's one of a handful of drives that I consider "fun", and even then the "fun" part only starts once I'm a few hours away from the major city clusterfuck.
You can begin by reading my comment. Scientists have NEVER suggested replacing saturated fats with sugar. Likewise the food pyramid is not dominated by carbs, even if it were the largest base category (which it never was outside of the USA). The last thing you mentioned also wasn't supported by science.
Now repeat after me: "Marketing materials from food companies and governments is not science." "Catchy one liners are not science." "I will read and understand a comment on Slashdot before replying".
It's almost like that can be fixed with a small amount of cabling. Speaking of I^R losses a car is not big enough to worry about the power loss. If that power is significant enough then you're sitting on one giant fire hazard smelling of outgassing insulation.
Oh and since EV batteries are typically quite high voltages is unlikely to be an issue that isn't resolved with a small power supply.
To add some European context, a few months ago I drove 3 hours in the car. In those 3 hours I passed through 4 areas with 4 different native languages (Dutch, French, German, Luxembourgish) broken up into 8 different dialects. None of this included English as a primary, yet that is the only language I could rely on to use at every step of my trip.
If I had anything to say in response to Apple's CEO using code I'd write it in Brainfuck since that seems to be the only thing that would make sense to him.
Same reason we don't mine directly. Horrendous waste of power. Not to mention I do like my computer quiet and it doesn't take much for the CPU fan to start kicking on the turbos.
Many decisions made by the previous administration here were repugnant to the Constitution, and/or were put in place absent legal authority to do so (executive orders that over-reached). Removing those is not spiteful, it is legally responsible and will hopefully disincentive future administrations from similarly exceeding their legal authority.
And yet none of them were actually removed from the courts, you know the ones that actually determine the legal authority. What does that tell you?
ie: a huge force to push people to purchase new vehicles.
Cars have finite lives. By regulating the supply rather than the demand this isn't doing car companies any favours. Even if you regulate the supply all that's going to happen is those wonderful new car sales are going to be offset by the absolute crash leading up to the new regulations.
It's much the same as moving some of next month's sales into this month's accounting spreadsheet to make the month look good. There's no free lunch.
So we are replacing 'known oil reserves' with 'Known lithium reserves' now.
What happens after we reach 'peak battery production'?
The same thing that happens with peak oil, you know the thing that has been talked about for the past 50 years that has never happened.
Mining reserves are based on the same supply and demand as the actual sale of goods. That's why "peak {noun}" won't be reached.
Firstly the GP was wrong, there's 37Mt of know reserves excluding China which is assumed to be sitting on a shitload which are not counted. Secondly the GP said it right at the end of his sentence. It is possible to extract lithium from the oceans, it's just currently cheaper to evaporate it from a mineral pool or dig it out of the ground. If peak lithium involves the use of 30 trillion cars, I think we'll be alright. As will our kids, and their kids, and their kids, and their kids and the.....
Wall Street single-handedly PUTS US INTO A RECESSION (that could have become a full on depression) and none of them go to jail.
As a matter of interest, what would you throw them in jail for? I mean I love the sentiment, but which laws did they actively break?
Holder I understand, the cops I understand, but being a money making fuck knuckle with the conscience of a piece of chewed up gum unfortunately is not actually a crime.
False or Misleading Commercial speech may be against the law, but "false statements of fact" themselves, even non commercial are not protected by free speech either.
The supreme court ruled back in the 70s that false statements are not protected by the constitution.
Actually, laws against false adevertising are a free speech violation. That's because those laws were made in the realisation that no right can be absolute, that in any society there will always be rights that clash, and that the right to make a buck does not extend to lying to impact someone else's health and property.
That's not a clash. You don't have a right to make a buck. You do have a right to free speech. However that was the only thing wrong in your statement. You are absolutely right that the laws aren't absolute. The constitution has exceptions, and one of those exceptions is "false statement of fact".
I like the higher resolution picture but I prefer content. That might be why I like to buy DVD's a lot of the time over a BluRay. Same content and cheaper.
So you don't actually care about higher resolution picture at all, otherwise you'd spend the money on it.

Maybe we're living in an imperfect world, though.
We are. And companies without a business continuity plan such as "what happens if my admin gets hit by a bus" deserve everything they get.
Mind you I doubt this was actually the case and the result was far more likely HR incompetence than anything else.

How is a Tesla Model S going to see a small animal walking onto the road from behind think brush at night? Do they have infrared sensors?
How are you? Do you have infrared eyeballs?
Better question: Do you care? Heck where I live it's illegal to swerve to avoid animals. Mow it down and call the insurance company.

For instance here in Australia most of those Ads are actually completely illegal as they fall under false advertising...
Australia doesn't have anything resembling free speech either. We only have certain classes of protected speech, quite the opposite from the USA case.
Mind you false facts aren't protected by the USA constitution anyway.
