Some AI firm apparently

Are you sure this is from an AI firm, and wasn't generated by an (iffy) AI instead?

Anyhow from the looks of it, they basically don't want Indians (e.g. no visa sponsorship, no C2C, no Tata/Mahindra/Wipro/etc.), and really want pedigreed CS grads from prestigious schools who flourish in startup settings (i.e. long hours, multiple hats, a bit or a lot of chaos).

TBF, what they're looking for isn't hard to find at all so long as the comp is there.

Diversity hires are a bonus… really?

Considering that "expertise" in JavaScript is the only somewhat clearly stated technical requirement, and the insistence on pedigreed candidates, they're probably looking for folks that are highly presentable to a certain variety of investors, who're most likely "into diversity" as well.

What he need to do is look at UK's finances and ask if they're able to pay reparations for collaborating with the US on their bio attack.

Not to say that there was or wasn't a bio attack, but the British owes just about everyone reparations for their countless crimes.

We can start with the many antiquities and numerous items of tangible cultural heritage that the British looted and stole over the course of the last two centuries or so.

Lithuania first tried to use China to get more from the West. They thought their sovereignty was at stake by being so dependent on Chinese trade. Now that it blew up in their face and the US and Europe didn't come to save Lithuania, they want that Chinese trade back but somehow they think they're in a stronger position than they were in before...? And Europe is suppose to learn how to strongarm China by how the Lithuanians had to come crawling back begging to China...? Little Lithuania can do that but Europe can't?

That's the poison of Western values. It makes you think that your worthless ass is of value over everyone else in the world when you have nothing to show for it.

This East Europeans will not be allowed to deal with China in way that will infringe on Western EU. infact make them fight China.
This license project EV couldnot get off the ground for Polish branded EV. I have read about Poles that they are returning back to Poland due improved economy but not realizing from where they returned they are being replaced. The costly mistake for Baltics and other East European was integration with Western EU. How can you integrate with superior demographics and unlimited Wealth through multiculturalism? now they are selling and that without the public threat.

The End of Izera: Polish Electric Car Project Terminated
Jakub Jaworowski, the Minister of State Assets, recently declared, “Izera is nothing more than a hallucination of PiS. Building a car without resources is an impossible dream. Now, we’ve shifted the project from science fiction to a business reality by negotiating with Chinese partners to create an electromobility cluster.”

Södra’s mission is focused on members’ forests and to process their raw material, thereby creating value for these forest estates. Södra has therefore, as a step in implementing its strategy, decided to initiate a process to divest its forest holding and related activities in the Baltics.

would choose not to fight in a potential cross-strait conflict despite growing military threats from Beijing, according to informal interviews by the South China Morning Post.

In several interviews, Taiwanese youth revealed a reluctance to fight that stemmed mainly from concerns about the life-threatening nature of war and Taiwan’s military disadvantage against mainland China, described recently by Taiwanese leader William Lai Ching-te as a “

”.

Other reasons included doubts over whether the United States or its allies, such as Japan, would intervene, a perceived lack of preparedness, and the belief that war was unlikely within the next five years.

“Of course, I don’t want to go to war if given a choice because it is a matter of life and death,” said Yu Po-cheng, 25, a Taipei-based sports nutrition supply worker.

“But in the event of a mobilisation, people our age will definitely be drafted if a cross-strait war breaks out, meaning we will have to deal with it whether we want to or not,” he added.

Yu’s colleague, Lu Yi-wei, said it was every reservist’s duty to help defend Taiwan, but he had no desire to fight if there was no obligation.

Asked if they would return to the military to sharpen their combat skills, both Yu and Lu – reservists themselves – said no.

“I have two kids to raise and no time for this,” Yu said. Lu said that he was focused on his career and unwilling to sacrifice his time, particularly since military service did not provide fair financial compensation.

Odan Liang, 23, from Taoyuan in northern Taiwan, voiced similar sentiments. “I completed my four-month military service two years ago and am now working in trade. I just started my career and have many things to explore rather than thinking about returning to the army and fighting in a war,” he said.

Asked about Beijing’s growing military threats and Lai’s labelling of mainland China as a “foreign hostile force”, Liang said: “I don’t know much about defending our homeland, getting married, or raising children – those things are too distant for me now.”

“I just enjoyed a great concert by Kylie Minogue, and that is where my focus is,” he added, referring to the singer’s recent Tension Tour concert in the southern city of Kaohsiung.

If forced to serve during a war, Liang said he would prefer a support role, such as logistics, rather than fighting on the front lines.

A 17-year-old high school graduate in Taipei, who wanted to be identified only by his surname Yang, had a similar outlook. “I know nothing about politics or the cross-strait issue. That is for adults to worry about,” he said.

“I don’t even know how to use a gun since I’m not eligible for military service. If you want me to fight [for Taiwan], I might as well flee abroad or surrender.”

Taiwan has 2.3 million reservists and about 188,000 active-duty personnel.

Meanwhile, a March 2 online survey by Dcard, a social media platform for Taiwanese university students, found that 57 per cent of male respondents and 16 per cent of female respondents would surrender in a cross-strait war, while only 22 per cent and 5 per cent, respectively, said they would fight.

The survey, which received 12,251 responses, asked: “In light of the current Ukraine situation, would you still want to defend Taiwan if attacked by China?”

The findings contrasted sharply with recent opinion polls that suggested a majority of Taiwanese were willing to fight for the island, similar to Ukraine’s resistance against Russia’s invasion.

A survey by the Institute for National Defence and Security Research, a military-affiliated think tank in Taipei, found that more than 67 per cent of respondents said they would fight if Beijing attacked, while about 23 per cent were unwilling to engage in such a conflict.

The same survey also found 61 per cent believed that such an attack would be highly unlikely in the next five years.

Observers said the disparity stemmed from how poll questions were framed, the prevailing social atmosphere, and whether respondents were given options that reflected their true preferences.

“If you ask whether someone is willing to fight for Taiwan, most will say yes for ethical reasons, especially when cross-strait tensions rise, and the DPP government warns of war,” said Wang Kung-yi, head of the Taiwan International Strategic Study Society, a think tank in Taipei.

“But in reality, many people in Taiwan have become numb to Beijing’s threats, regardless of how much the DPP government hypes up the situation,” Wang added.

Zivon Wang, a military analyst at the Chinese Council of Advanced Policy Studies, another Taipei think tank, said such disparities were expected when formal surveys provided limited answer choices, whereas informal street interviews could allow respondents to express personal opinions freely.

“No one wants to die or lose in battle – it’s human nature. So, it is not surprising that many people said they would choose not to fight in a war,” he said.

Of course most Taiwanese will not fight. Just look at the picture below.

I love it when I see these cucks expose their fanboy bias.

Years ago, this sock puppet cuck says that the J-20's canards are bad for stealth.

Today the sock puppet cuck declares that F-47 is so awesome. And it has canards....
The comments are ruthless.

The comments are ruthless indeed: Boeing is the company that kills whistleblowers. Good luck awarding the F-47 contract to such a corrupt and merciless company.
