@CyberRacheal According to fine prints, disks are measured in mertic system, 1000 KB per MB to boost their space on paper, but operating systems are always in binary system, or 1024 KB per MB. So the available space of a brand new device always appears smaller in the os.
@klausberbel5@jamesjt234@serpentza@ywnbact The first trial run of the "commercial" apartment development is only 40 years. So the first batch of apartments sold in the 80s has already expired. Before the 80s, every working family in china gets a free apartment from their factory.
@jamesjt234@serpentza@ywnbact No, you have to pay the government again to extend the contract, but at a price way cheaper than the market price. This is another way of collecting property tax. But the chinese government can dictate the land use when its deemed necessary.
@quantymacro this is something called price differentiation. When they can set everyone the price they want to pay, their profit is maximized, like business class and economy class.
Somebody front ran the Brazil tariff news.
Somebody bought a HUGE amount of USD and shorted BRL (Brazil’s currency) at 1:32 PM.
The 50% tariff announcement came at 4:19 PM, at which point, it looks like the big trader exited his trade instantly.
Making 2.5% on a currency trade (which are usually 10-20x leveraged) so really 25% to 50% in less than 3hours.
The most openly corrupt administration of all time.
@The_Real_Fly no bro. The US shows China its weakness. If China keeps the aggression, the tariffs US imposed may be exempted sector by sector if they are mass imported from China and consumers feel the pain. But it is super unlikely to be not painful if a 125% is imposed
@Chilu9092@edodreaming@ianbremmer but the entire tariff goal will never be reached. Having trade deficit with China is the same as having trade deficit with India viet nam... jobs are not back, while we need to invest more money to relocate the supply chain.
@BowesChay how can you borrow US$ from those Chinese peasants. Oh, because they accepted your dollars and in exchange, produced those goods.
So, the reality is the US of A uses pieces of paper it prints to purchase real products from the Chinese. And its unfair as HELL
