Facial recognition could make your player card obsolete
Konami has unveiled its SYNK facial recognition software, which will allow players to collect rewards and receive targeted offers without the need for a plastic rewards card. Coming from a player who forgets his card in a machine 1.7 times per visit, this is welcome news. In essence, players will be able to register their face with the casino and collect rewards at the machines and tables in the same way that you open your mobile phone - with your face.To get more china newsonline, you can visit shine news official website.
Prioritising comfort and convenience
We have come a long way from the days when patrons were forced to stand at the side of bandits. There is a strong profit motivation to make you comfortable and give you a great experience at the machine. Seating options are getting more and more comfortable. Check out this chair on display from Merkur Gaming, a high quality seat complete with a cup holder and a blue button to spin the reels. No need to even reach from the chair to the machine.
A first step in avoiding a collision is to recognise that some of the prevailing concerns are exaggerated. For example, US anxiety about China's economic rise is reminiscent of its attitude to the rise of Japan decades ago. After all, China has significant economic problems that could reduce its potential growth to just 3-4% a year, well below the 10% annual growth rate it has achieved in recent decades. China has an ageing population and high youth unemployment; high debt levels in both the private and public sectors; declining private investment as a result of intimidation by the ruling party; and a commitment to state capitalism that hampers total factor productivity growth.
Chinese domestic consumption has weakened due to uncertainty and the lack of a broad social safety net. As deflation sets in, China now has to worry about Japanisation: a long period of lost growth. Like so many emerging markets, it could end up in a "middle-income trap" rather than achieving number one status.
While the US may have overestimated China's potential rise, it may also have underestimated its own lead in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, semiconductors, quantum computing, robotics and automation, and new energy sources such as nuclear fusion. China has invested in some of these areas under its Made in China 2025 programme, but its goal of near-term dominance in 10 industries of the future seems far-fetched.
American fears of Chinese dominance in Asia are also exaggerated. China is surrounded by nearly 20 countries, many of which are strategic rivals or 'frenemies'; most of the few allies it has, such as North Korea, are a drain on its resources. While its Belt and Road Initiative should make new friends and create new dependencies, it faces many challenges, including massive failed projects that are leading to debt defaults. As much as China wants to dominate the Global South and swing states, many middle powers are resisting.
What does YYDS mean in Chinese?
If you have recently started talking with Chinese people online, either on online forums or through DMS, chances are there will be several slang words that will go right over your head. Every now and then, people will do searches like '666 meaning slang’ or ‘xswl meaning’ just to figure out the common Chinese slang that is used nowadays.To get more news about yyds, you can visit shine news official website.
To help with understanding these unknown slangs, we’ll dive into the ones that are most commonly used and explain them in detail.
Part 1: What does YYDS or “Forever God” Mean?
YYDS first started in the lobby of a very popular Chinese game. From then, the term became famous and is now used whenever people hold someone in high esteem or want to express admiration. An example of this was when one Chinese Olympian known as Su Bingtian broke a 100 meters record, and everyone in China added the initials YYDS in front of his name.
Just like how Su Bingtian was praised, people will express their admiration by adding YYDS in front of the names of the people they love. However, this slang is only used in written form, and never will anyone say it out loud. Additionally, this slang term is used to call someone’s exceptional talent at a specific job, like when people use the term G.O.A.T(greatest of all time).
Part 2: What Does 666 Mean?
When foreigners will see the slang 666, most will undoubtedly assume that it has something to do with the devil and not without reason. In western culture, 666 represents bad luck and is often referred to as the number of the beast.
However, it’s the complete opposite in Chinese slang, as 666 has a rather positive meaning. When someone in a game displays an incredible show of skill, people will spam 666 in the chat to show admiration. The literal meaning of the abbreviation itself translates to something close to ‘amazing’ or ‘awesome.’
Part 3: What Does XSWL Mean?
In the English language internet, users use the slang word ROFL to express laughter. This text-based expression is so expressive that even emojis can not compete with it. However, in other cultures, ROFL isn’t as frequently used, which means there is another term for said emotion.
Put straightforwardly, XSWL is the Chinese version of the slang ROFL. It is used whenever someone finds a particular thing incredibly funny, and they want to express this through text. Although very similar, XSWL does not translate to ‘Rolling on the floor laughing and instead is the abbreviation of ‘Laughing myself to Death.’
When using XSWL in text, it is usually used as a reply to a statement and is purely meant for text-based communication. This means that you won’t see people saying the abbreviation XSWL during their normal vocal communications.
