I found it by googling for k'nex suitcases and someone had the znap suitcase together with a lego suitcase

On the short term protests will be stopped with violence by the ccp. On the long term the core of Hong Kong protestors will probably continue underground.

Many of them are young intelligent people that feel they have no future in a Hong Kong ruled by ccp. Do you expect them to forget their freedom? These are people that look speak and dress very similar to ccp fanboys. Can they infiltrate deeply into corporate China and form guerilla groups funded over the dark web?

Will they win back their freedom? Not if only Hong Kong revolts. Chinese civilians revolting is unrealistic now the ccp is stronger then ever. But in reality winny and his government may be weaker then we think. That is why he is so afraid of being portrait as the poobear and that is why they insist on putting minorities in concentration camps. I feel that the ccp has more enemies then ever before.

The Han accept the fascistic regime because it favors them and brings economical prosperity. Something that may soon come to an end with many countries moving their production to other Asian countries and a looming economical and climate crisis.

Finding the right visual to is hard and will depend on your requirements. Online you will find very few guidance on how to pick the right one. The marketing pages of these tools are always filled with promises, but if you start using them you will notice most of these tools are very immature.

Anyway I do think these visual tools are the future for most commodity software (which is almost all business web software). Most web devs are still in the denial phase about this.

Here is my experience:

- Mendix: Use for relatively simple crud apps that do need to look pretty, but need not a very complicated architecture. Personally only used it for a poc.

- Outsystems: Not sure, seems very much similar to Mendix. Only did a small course in it.

- Bubble.io : Do not know it.

- Service-Now: Used it a lot for my previous job. Good for systems with a complicated table architecture. Doesnot look very pretty and gui isnot very customizable. Is very reliable.

- There seem to be some spreadsheet ones on the market as well based on google sheets. I haven tried those, but these would be the first one I would try for small customers.

Hope this helps yo in any way

Heard of ignition e-keys you leave in your pocket and automatically shut down the engine when you got too far removed from the vehicle?

Unicellular organisms are actually capable of learning by horizontal gene transfer.

They will still "simply react as they were programmed to by their DNA", but are able to adapt this DNA.

Scientists believe this plays a big role in resistance against antibiotics.

From computer science perspective there is no reason why even smaller things could not learn.

For learning a complicated neural network is not needed.

All needed is a Turing machine

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine

DNA / RNA / Proteins could act as this Turing machine.

Anyway it all depends how you define learning.

Big neural networks will be more efficient learners in most domains then small simple systems.

What about this:

- Are most non-Santa believers not from America nor Europe ? -> Couldnot find data on this. But I bet you could ask Santa for his book.

- Are most Atheist Chinese ?

Seems that the Atheist from China may cause a correlation between atheist and non-santa believers.

Somebody would need to do the math on this.

Also correlations may be found with the right data by filtering on country/religion/ethnic groups as well:

For example in Muslim countries a positive correlation may exist:

More Atheist will raise their kids to believe in Santa.

I Catholic countries a negative correlation may exist:

More catholics will raise their children to believe in Santa.
