I was surprised to know recently that, in France apparently, there are quite a lot of shops that don't accept cash. I thought it was going to be the other way around: shops stipulating "cash only". In my country, there are ac

This is genuinely interesting. Also it is not just one photo for each family and there are a lot of details. I wonder how much resources were put into making this project.

Burner sims have been a thing of the past in China for quite some time. The official rationale I believe is to curb telecom fraud, which in turn left China and started doing their business in southeast Asia.

This is not true. A) personal ID numbers are not publicly available (you could certainly get your hands on some, but I doubt a lot would know Xi's ID), and B) more importantly, nowadays ID verification in China uses more sophisticated

"Platform size just isn't a relevant metric on some topics - child safety being one of them." Agreed, but I guess it could be the case that the current regulation is too burdensome even for large corps, but they could afford

My understanding is you need to be able to actually the market to be called market manipulation (e.g. pump-and-dump). If Jane Street alone can move the market in 1), it seems like the Indian stock market is not really liquid...

"Why can’t both sides be in the wrong?" I would like to upvote simply because of this sentence. Yes. And stepping away from right or wrong judgements for a moment, I think it is clear that banning space tech really didn't wor

Ah that's a good point.

I feel like there are different kinds of "truth": some of them easier than others to be manufactured, e.g. easier to manufacture hatred and war than peace (unless the country is already deep in it and not winning)?

That makes more sense, but supposedly companies would only need to use the model once to create the templates, which makes it a bad business model...? Also, I have to admit I did not spend too much time reading the site. I have no idea if t

Might be nitpicking, but the Chinese text is actually saying it's for both (a) shortage of good bamboo, AND (b) safety in hurricanes, etc. It did not imply that bamboo which met the required standards is safe enough for these condition

I honestly find it difficult to believe it could make knowledge transfer easier than, let's say, a template for the employee to fill out. It (knowledge transfer) is such an unstructured thing and differs wildly from post to post, and f

“the rest of China pivoted toward metal amid an overproduction of steel.” So the steel is cheaper than bamboo? The truth is: it is simply not as safe as metal. E.g. bamboo scaffolding has been outlawed in Shenzhen since 1994 [0] due to safe

My experience is to just take it easy: it's okay to scrub, use soap, etc. Just don't leave it wet: always dry it thoroughly after washing, and don't use a dishwasher. I even cooked some acidic food in it and it was fine: you

For anyone who is interested, Petter @MentourPilot on Youtube has a few videos about this topic that are worth watching.

No, but I didn't deal with money directly. I dealt with corporate governance and capital market related information for the company, so perhaps other people needed to have their fingerprints taken.

For overseas workers, a. it is quite difficult for foreigners to get a working visa in China (though I suppose it's more of an immigration issue rather than the country being authoritarian); b. companies would probably use their passpo

Are you serious about this? I live in China, a supposedly autocratic country and one with universal ID, and even companies here don't take fingerprints. ID will be shown when you are officially onboard. I can't say for all, but fo

There are definitely people in Amazon who are aware of this, but do not want to get themselves in trouble for talking out loud, because this is not their responsibility. I would have done the same thing.

I honestly believe if the Trump administration really intends to bring manufactuing back to the US, a permanent double-digit/3-digit tariff and a stable regime of 8+ years will do the trick. Companies will be able to plan accordingly

Ah, yes. The romanization movement of Chinese characters[0]. We do have a pinyin system that bacame extremely important when computers came into China. If you didn't know pinyin, you would have to use other complicated methods (e.g. Wu

I did not (OpenAI does not allow Chinese to pay for Plus due to politics, and I couldn't be bothered to try circumventing it), and I am curious about it because it does seem like a very difficult job. I did try the latest Qwen though,

Perhaps interestingly, China did two rounds of simplifying Chinese characters. The first one was well received, but the second one[0] fell out of favor and was rescinded, because it was making up a bunch of new characters (in English that w
