Translation fail. Kind of.

12 years of testing smartphones and only now I find the right way to move app icons from one screen to the other. You hold the icon with one finger and swipe through screens with another. I used to do it by bringing the icon to the edge of the screen which is slower/annoying.

I’m seriously hoping this is a parody. Because, if it’s not, the GE smart bulb team should be charged with violating the Geneva Convention. This is torture. youtube.com/watch?v=1BB6wj6R…

Jobs created during the first 21 months of Trump’s presidency and the final 21 months of Obama’s presidency: Trump: 4,054,000 Obama: 4,477,000 So job creation is no better now than it was under Obama. What is striking is that the recovery continues so long after it started.

Chinese leadership political system reles on anti-corruption division to ferret out "corruption" or anti-Party actvities, penalty often involves confiscation of entire family's wealth. Not hard to raise money among richest families as needed. (Wealth gap huge) – at Virginia, USA
