Tech workers over there work themselves to exhaustion. 9AM to 10PM is the standard. I would guess older people wouldn't sign on that. That's why companies hire and overwork younger engineers.

Personal anecdote : I always ate little and spend most of my life underweight. I look extremely young for my age. I estimate I rarely eat more than 1500 kcal a day When I think about it, most visibly underweight people I know tend to look y

Tim Cook wasn't invited for his beliefs, but to give face to the Chinese government. Chinese internet is as closed as it gets. Any foreign company eating up the market share of a local company will get blocked eventually or be forced i

It seems almost silly that 20 years ago, TV addiction was a huge thing. Nowadays who would get addicted to TV when you have tablets and smartphone who do TV plus one thousand other things

In which context ? In personal life I would simply avoid them. In any case trying to confront them and get them to "change" is bound to lead to disastrous results. Just focus on yourself unless it personally affect you.

Only if you are unfortunate enough to be in a bar which gets raided at the wrong time (ie bars which are believed to have had drug dealers or drug users in the past) OR if you were in contact with a dealer who got busted. It happens but it&

China has Unionpay. Because merchants don't often have terminals, and because paying with phones is more convenient, people just link their card to WeChat/Alipay and pay with the apps

Last time I was in France, there is not that many NFC terminals yet. Also both of my french cards don't support it Also 20€ limit is fairly deal breaker, doing groceries will often be above that. Even a 2 person MacDonalds is probably

A concern is that if ever your product on this platform gets big, friction with the (often unpredictable) Chinese gov and policies will become a liability. example : your product displays news. Some of these might considered not acceptable

With China, there is a big difference between what is said, what is law and what is actually enforced. What's likely to happen is that there will be a crack down, some satisfying numbers will be shown to officials, and then everything

Agreed, having to tinker around on a fresh, new device to get it working partially isn't acceptable : take it back. It blows my mind such devices are sold, excepting the consumer to finish the installation and polishing that should hav
