Pinyin, or any other written romanization scheme will never work for Mandarin. The reason is simple.
There are not enough phonemes in Mandarin. Adding tones mitigates this a bit but not enough.
As a result, a typical Pinyin character representation can have many possible meanings.
Take a nice simple example like zhong1 (Middle as in Middle Kingdom or China). There are at
least 14 different meanings for this pinyin word alone:

Good points. You can still use this as a starting point for wages at less isolated observatories. Try contacting various amateur astronomical societies that are near the observatories for which you want to get numbers. Such groups usually have a few members that keep up with such things. And good luck!!
While the population turns more resentful by the day from intrusive government meddling and spying, he fiddles with programs that really don't need more government intervention.
The population is doing nothing of the kind. Republicans resent him because they are the party out of power.
Fringe leftists and libertarians resent him for their own reasons, but they are a vanishingly small fraction of the people.
Most of the population either likes what he is doing, or don't care.
California has 2 tiers. The UC schools are tier 1, and priced accordingly.
The CSU schools, and there are a lot more of them, are highly affordable.
A middle class family can easily send 1 child, or several, to community college,
followed by 2 years of living at home and going to a public tier 2 school.
Or if the kids don't want to live at home, they can get a job or join the
military.
Cisco has managed to bribe enough politicians and spread enough FUD to keep Huawei out of the US

those markets figure that if someone is spying on them anyway, it might as well be the cheaper vendor.
Really???
The infrastructure divisions of Lucent, Nortel, Motorola, Nokia & Siemens have either disappeared completely or exist only in vestigial forms
Cisco won. - there, fixed that for ya
companies like Cisco and Juniper are stuffed full of people who are unemployable anywhere else.
Like any large high tech company, Cisco has a spectrum of talent, some good, some bad.
They have not really kept in touch with the basics of computer science and are mostly unable to make it through the interview processes of growing web-based companies.
You sound like a web developer. Well, not every high tech company exclusively needs web developers.
It is commonly heard within Cisco that the entire caste system of India has been replicated there.
Pen and paper is just not searchable enough. Use laptop and and a text editor, so you can search the text. I keep an online lab notebook, chock-full of how-tos, references, and other things I would otherwise have forgotten long ago. Going on 14 years now, it has been a lifesaver many times over. Would never give it up.
I am calling BS on this post. If the USG promotes backdoors on Cisco equipment,
and then supplies their own military with that equipment, then they have just made
themselves vulnerable to anyone who can find those backdoors. Not gonna happen.

Go back 15 years to indirectly diss Cisco via NSA? [Out of date citation needed] Drunken outsourced monkeys? Methinks you have a racist axe to grind.

Don't quit on programming and it won't quit on you.
Passages was very good, but The Doomsday Book was her best work to date, IMHO. Will have to see about these latest.
