The eventual decline and stagnation was the effect of the decision to close China's doors. But the cause of the end of the expeditions was largely financial. Culture also has an important role to play. The Chinese were not looking for new l

I agree. The emperor who replaced Zhu Di was more conservative and thought that China should close its doors. He famously said that "The outside world had nothing to offer China, it is too primitive and backwards, leave it alone." This inwa

The Chinese explored the Middle East and Africa almost 100 years before the Europeans. Every expedition consisted of 300 ships, some as long as 400 feet with 9 mast and an armada crew totaling 28,000 men. After 30 years of doing it they rea

Actually 2 weeks could be enough to gain some information and make quick and necessary changes. The early days of a start-up would be the most unpredictable and if you haven't learned anything in two weeks that you need to change or improve

Failures and mistakes are good if they are numerous and quick, preferably not committing the same ones over and over again. You learn faster and move on this way. The worst kinds of mistakes are the protracted ones. Sometimes it takes too l

Maybe electrons do not really exist. Maybe none of you exist at all and this is all a dream.

My theory is as long as it contains meaning then that would be considered a "word", the number of syllables is irrelevant. I could arguably say that a word is an "irreducible unit of information" in the human language. For inflectional lang

Actually English has very few syllables compared to Filipino or Spanish. Nearly a third of the words are one syllable and most of the multiple syllable words have either Latin, French, or Greek origin. I think there was an attempt by early

I guess calling it "not a date" will create a more casual and less awkward environment where people can meet and connect. But it's quite obvious that the 3 male and 3 female set up is designed to match up people of the opposite sex.

True. I think the company will figure this out by the time they have enough information from their beta users. It's really difficult to predict how people will react to a new environment because we often assume we know what we will do on ce

Nothing too detailed of course. The participant can have it as an option and decide what information can be included. Things like "I'm into rock climbing" or "I like Physics".... maybe nothing more than a few sentences. The key is giving pa

This platform could potentially take social networking to the next level, getting strangers with similar interest to actually meet. And not just on a dating/adult level, but on a wholesome and casual scenario. People don't do this because o

This has the potential to go viral. $20 with free drinks is not bad. Initially it might be awkward but I feel that if the matching is good enough connections can start easily. I would add that they send each participant a summary of each o
