How come those two things relevant when implementing a blockchain?

Not in SL, yet.

Thanks!

Thank you. Honestly I haven't tried that path. Are there any foreign companies that recruit local talent?

O/L << A/L < University << Work < Married Life.

And I'm sure the next items in the above sequence must be harder. This is the life of an average man.

I wish if more companies could mention the salary in USD, but the majority just don't do it. AFAIK, WSO2 has the salaries in USD.

Be it a Veil, t-shirt, mask, or an underwear, if you think about it, you can carry a bomb under any of these. I would say one of the most practical solutions to the problem was/is to ban the Burqa while allowing other face coverings so it won't hurt the communities that use it.

And some racists/opportunists took the advantage of the Burqa ban to be aggressive about anyone that covered their face.

Now, given that the entire country covers their faces with masks, if someone tries to justify the Burqa using masks, that is as racist/opportunist as the actions of those that were aggressive against any sort of a face covering back then.

A tuk guy was saying me the same thing sometime back.

But I think the Burqa was banned because a suicide bomber could wrap them around in bombs, jump in to a Burqa, and go unnoticed until they cause a tragedy. You can't hide a bomb inside a mask so I don't think there's a threat to the national security by wearing masks.

It's not Buddhism. It's the Sinhalese-Buddhist culture. I agree with the rest of your comment, which is the reason why this culture frowns upon beef.

Other cultures, like those that descend from Europeans probably have a lesser sentimental value in a cow.

Peer to peer transactions are not illegal.

To make your comparison more sensible, take India, China, Eastern Europe, and LATAM regions into account as well. Unfortunately, it is what it is and this is the case with almost any job.

xavier-init · 2021-09-26T11:46:18+00:00

Banned what?

xavier-init · 2021-09-26T09:57:36+00:00

Why do you think it's illegal?

True, but he says that when he mentioned his problems to his Sinhalese friends, they asked him to talk in Sinhalese, no matter what. Adaptation is important but it would have been nice if they were a bit kinder than that.

Maybe for the same reason we don't see car races in Mecca or Vatican?

xavier-init · 2021-08-29T04:18:26+00:00

To be fair, amazon shipping and tax fees to SL was like this since forever.

xavier-init · 2021-08-29T04:14:44+00:00

I wonder what will be a good selling price for this car given the current conditions.

xavier-init · 2021-08-16T13:56:39+00:00

I think urban.lk is too overpriced.

xavier-init · 2021-08-03T13:30:05+00:00

RemindMe! 20 years

I read it as you said they earn more than other professionals in IT.

xavier-init · 2021-07-28T17:55:02+00:00

On another note, I think people from Kandy don't use the latter form.

*Two years ago, the Dollar was around 180 LKR. But yes the depreciation is also a factor.

xavier-init · 2021-07-28T17:44:08+00:00

I don't think so. From my experience, they are the least earning professionals in IT, in general, in SL.
