Hey mate, meta comment, sorry to not be responding directly to the content of your comment. I noticed that your post history is almost entirely pro-China posts on the more political submissions here. It could be seen like you’re participating on HN for a political or ideological reason, which really isn’t what this site is about. I’m not trying to call you a shill or anything, just wanted to point out that there might be other forums better designed for political discussion.
- dirtyid 7y agoI've gotten meta-shill accusations before. My answer as before, my interest in Chinese geopolitics, architecture, lifting and podcasts. I comment on those things when they (rarely) come up and have something novel to add. Sino-US topics are just all the rage recently and I think I have useful takes on the topic compared to the default tier of "I read Bloomberg and watch Serpentza".
- chvid 7y agoHello dirtyid. A meta-comment from me. I enjoy reading what you are writing. And it is a sad tale that one have to scroll down in the bottom of hn to see it as your comments are obviously more informed (ignoring the politics) than most other here. It just goes to show than hn is not really designed to discuss things which are very divisive. And that is too bad. Because the rise of China and the comparable decline of the US is the single biggest change of our time. And it has big implictions for all things including technology.
