Nothing like having an entire suite of devices all connected directly to the Chinese government. Come on kids... you want some candy?GC2:CS - Sunday, February 24, 2019 - link
Apple is at least talking about something like differential privacy.On huawei side enhanced privacy means “innovative” notebook camera under a keycap.
// I just can’t stand they meant that seriously. Like it was recording the whole time...

Im not sure why China bashing has become hip, spys are going to spy that is what they are paid to do, none of which makes me feel any safer... You want secure devices, learn how to make and use them securely 😀Mate 20 X is a technological marvel and I cant wait for the technology to filter down to a more affordable level (but please for sake of the gods no folding screen phones with a large black hinge line please?)

Impressive. They pretty much did what I wished for a while ago when I caved and got my Kindle Oasis (1st gen). Nice handle, nice weight distribution.. I guess now the time was right. https://www.psiphon.onljvl - Monday, February 25, 2019 - link

But 2300 €? Come-oooooon... well. No compromise on either side I guess

So we know now why Huawei is hunted. They are beating everybody. Like their 5G modem is one year ahead of Qualcomm.SanX - Tuesday, February 26, 2019 - link
Poor Huaway, you've done great job with your MateX, you overfrogged Apple and Samsung creating true marvel. You deserve your $2,500 price tag.But I overjump you just by buying in elcheapo Walmart 2.5+ reading glasses for 2.5 dollars and with that turning my 6" phone into 12" one and back without any hinges and in no time! Try to beat me! :)

The Nature Of A Research ProposalA research proposal is essentially a document proposing an innovative study, usually in the humanities or applied sciences, and generally forms a petition for funding of that study. Proposals are usually evaluated on both the feasibility and cost of the planned study, and on their soundness for carrying out. There are several important considerations in writing a research proposal, including but not limited to: the subject matter to be covered, the specific research methods to be employed, the research data to be collected, the research ethics, the reporting guidelines and conclusions. The number of individuals involved in carrying out the research should also be taken into consideration.
The number of individuals who will be involved in carrying out the research is dependent on the overall size of the intended study, with a small study involving only two to four people being most suitable. For a larger study, typically involving a group of more than ten people, it is best to apply to more departments, supervisors and programs. As part of preparing for a research proposal https://www.the-essays.com/research-proposal , it is best to compile all the necessary information in a concise, logical manner, avoiding possible arguments by the supervisor. In addition, as part of ensuring that the proposal is suitable for funding approval, it is important to research the specific requirements of the program in order to ensure that the proposal fits in with the program's standards, as well as those of the funding agency.Other steps to take prior to submitting a research proposal include preparing for the interview, submitting names and contact details of referees, reading and thoroughly understanding the eligibility requirements, preparing for a research proposal in a format that can be easily understood, carrying out research in a particular field and writing a proposal focusing on that field only, having a clear understanding of what needs to be achieved through the research and having a detailed description of all the financial benefits that will accrue. Each of these steps is essential, as research proposals often get a second chance at review once the initial submission has been made, so any errors made should be corrected prior to submission. Finally, as with all research projects, it is important to ensure that the proposal can be submitted in a language that can be understood by the reviewer.
