It's not just car theft. Same happens in stores in specific states of the US.
Obviously there's no patterns to be recognized in there. Nothing whatsoever. Move along citizen.
Did anyone need footage to know this is an ongoing practice?
Nice development.
As a side note, as a Portuguese person I think they could have found an easier word for non-portuguese speakers. Not sure if the english speakers around the world will be able to say the nasal "em" correctly or with ease.
Every time that medical staff is assaulted in Portugal, specially when the code word "family" is used, we already know it was done by a Gypsy group or family who couldn't be bothered to wait in queue to be looked at.
The other "low income, uneducated people" never do such things, always the same group.
If History proved something is that Patton and McCarthy were right.
I have heard that the switch from the main consumed beverage from alcohol based drinks to caffeine based drinks may have possibly contributed to the Enlightenment.
Why didn't the caffeinated beverages stimulate the advancement of science in the countries where those plants are native from?
For Portugal you might contact https://startupportugal.com/
This one is an official website for a government program, but I think it's for Portuguese companies https://portugaldigital.gov.pt/acelerar-a-transicao-digital-...
Good to see countries realize that if they just export raw materials and don't do any industrial processing locally, then they are mere colonies of a foreign power.
Even if the bigger part of the profits travels abroad, if the industrial knowledge stays in the country and also has a network effect on other industries and businesses, then it's a win on it's own.
Specially in this case where I doubt Chile even has the know-how and funds to explore the lithium on their own without foreign help.
Primarily this book completely ignores communication with subject matter experts and the business.
Probably because this isn't an advanced book on Software Engineering, but an introductory book to programming.
If local culture is still preserved, taught and celebrated, is a really a problem?
Yes because it won't be really preserved if you don't have speakers who use it as their main language since nothing new will be created, just relics of the past that will slowly be lost.
Most people other than highly-cosmopolitan minorities don't think they should lose their language, which is so deeply tied with how we even process our understanding of the world, by mapping concepts to words, with their culture and identity, just to make it easier for foreigners who can't be bothered to learn the local language.
The problem is that the minority is way more vocal and has more influencing power.
Only europeans people with no contact with non-europeans believe the rest of the world works the same way as we do.
If you want to do anything in those regions, bribes should be part of your budget, all the way down.
Even the workers that need to travel to those places should have a budget for those bribes, as in some places even the police will try to get you in trouble if you don't give them money, or in some African countries, even food is accepted.
I'm still missing an answer on how are we supposed to source all the minerals like lithium, copper, etc, without an increase in the usage of petrochemicals and keeping it carbon neutral.
we were in a supposed labor shortage
That's the routine justification for "we need to flood the country with cheap workers from the third world" to lower wages.
Orphan children already have enough problems, and don't need to be raised in a culture totally foreign to them
It would be really cool if you took this discourse to Africa, China or India, Mr Malthus.
MBAs had no long-term vision, so in each company they infested, they made poor strategic decisions such as moving manufacturing overseas, which then forced other companies to move their manufacturing overseas.
The economic basis for that appeared way before the first MBA got a job.
There are absolutely things that people can write which they should be removed from their job for though, and where it is appropriate to campaign for this as a response.
It's really good to see you say the quiet part out loud, and I do hope some people start to become more aware of the friend-enemy distinction.
That's why when people who have the same stance as you get fired, specially when they have a history of trying to get other people get fired for something they said, always warms my heart.
Can't wait for an execs board room full of bearded guys who just happen to identify as women to circumvent these laws.
there isnt really anything beginner friendly for clojure
How about Brave Clojure?
God, what would I do without my status quo parrots?
Has any of these "journalists" have ever done any journalism, like investigating political officials, exposing corruption scandals, even if at a local level, you don't need a global story.
There were more acres of deforested land per year in the Amazon during Lula and his successor Dilma's terms, than in Bolsonaro's term.
Did you really expect anything else from "the Economist"?
They can block any research they want in the West.
The Chinese don't really care about those kinds of sensibilities, and if they find it useful to research something, they will.
You can enroll your children in any extracurricular activity, such as sports and arts and it will cover the social aspect.
It's not just Amazon that does this.
And there are only two ways to hurt them back for it.
One is people refusing to work there, which is obviously easier to do for engineers than for warehouse workers.
The second is refusing to make business with them. Just don't order your stuff from there, don't subscribe to Prime and so on, but I guess this is just too much to ask for the average guy whose whole personality revolves around the shows they are currently watching.
Their surnames are those of trees or animals.
Not every Pereira or Coelho is descendent of new Christians. Some sure, but definitely not all.
I'd really like to know how you reach the conclusion of "most families" when we are talking about two ethno-religious minorities, that allegedly were victims of indiscriminate killings, and mass deportations to the Low Lands, North Africa and to the Americas, but end up leaving a gigantic genetic footprint.
At least be coherent.
Because if that's the case, book piracy seems like the clear winner.
You can read lots of books for free legally in the Internet Archive, specially books that are out of print.
Curation costs money (indirectly). This is mostly done by (big) publishers who want to push their shallow literature series and a couple of good books here and there. Which, again, makes places like the IA so much better for readers like me.
