Well, "official ties". A few years ago Huawei received a long-term 20 billion USD loan from a government-owned Chinese bank. Shortly thereafter they started undercutting producers of enterprise networking equipment (border gateways, etc...) like Cisco and Alcatel by offering their stuff for free with only a modest support contract.
The equivalent box Cisco cost around 1.5 million euros per year. I was working for a small ISP in western Europe and of course the management went for the Huawei offer. I think it's quite reasonable to suspect that Huawei are working on behalf of some of the Chinese intelligence agencies.
There were entrepreneurs and merchants for thousands of years before the appearance of the joint-stock companies first, and the invention of limited liability afterwards, so definitely not inevitable or inherent.
Xperia Z2 and Soundpeats QY7. It's funny that the cheapest pair of Bluetooth headphones I ever bought is the only one that passes this test. The worst reception I can observe is with the Jaybird X2, which I nowadays use only in the gym where there's a clear line of sight between the headphones and the phone.
If you need balls to the wall performance then you can also use one of the functional languages for which excellent compilers-to-machine-code-not-bytecode exist: OCaml, Haskell and of course Lisp

You think $1500 will get you a nice custom tailored suit. Maybe in HongKong of Vietnam.
For €1000 (approx. $1200) you can get a really nice tailored suit pretty much anywhere in Italy.
They weren't the definition, they were examples.

It's "urgently evacuated", for crying out loud. "Emergency" is only a noun.

yeah, but they still haven't found the Stargate yet, so who cares...
portage is *not* based on FreeBSD ports. portage is a build system which resembles the *BSD ports but they have else in common
