Alternative method: Drink too much beer, accidentally break 1000 dollar iPhone, realize that you don’t want to pay another 1000, so you force yourself to go 6 months without a phone as punishment. Conclusion: it was inconvenient at first, b

Completely agree. The sad part is that I know many Chinese people who have studied in the United States and want to stay, but we do not make it even remotely easy to do so.

Correct. I can confirm. This is what I do as well.

I wonder if Google having a stronger presence and relationships in China, even if censored, would in fact be a better alternative than not having a presence in China. Another way the west can influence China and its direction is from the in

That makes sense. I probably overlooked the difference between grammatically correct and sounding natural. Chinese (and Japanese) have such a different cultural background that I also find the "natural way" to speak is quite diffe

I agree with your sentiment. I do prefer studying from books, but really try to just take a multifaceted approach: speak everyday, watch movies/tv, read native materials/bed/etc, also use chinese language study books. I was c

I find it pretty rare not to be able to group words to be honest. I do agree with your first points however.

People talk. In China I've also heard people say that even if they don't know all the details, they know something happened.

I would say it doesn't really matter much as both are readable. I would prefer either the original if/else or the ternary solution over the last solution as I personally think the intent is not as immediately clear in your "m

I wish I could upvote this more. I encounter this very often in discourse. I extend this to logic and philosophy as well. Without maintaining both the rigor and the creativity of reasoning, only a hollow shell remains.

Haha I counted to 32,000 once when I was around 7/8 years old. All I remember is it taking multiple days and my mouth was dry and sore. Props to counting to a million!

Thanks a lot, and double thanks for the specific feedback! Will incorporate. :)

This makes me wish I took more screenshots of my old websites. My personal sites have had some very fun evolutions, including some outrageous styles/themes. May have to checkout the Wayback Machine. I’ve migrated from Wordpress, to rai

Its hard for me to say If I’ve always had it and to what degree. But my mind wandering in and out of frames of reference has always been a thing. Its been my main source of creativity and mental fun. For the most part of my life however, I’

My sane comment is certainly a joke. I think self confirmation of that would be quite difficult indeed haha In terms of seeing red the same. I think you are misinterpreting what I mean by “seeing”, I’m not talking about the chemical process

This short and brief response is also to @bena, I have struggled with this a lot. I can completely understand the notion to discount such experience. My conclusion is that this seemingly can not be "proven" in the traditional sens

1) I mildlt disagree with this. There are lots of amazingly written Java libraries, and not all teams or people write “over enterprises code. I’ve seen dubious code quality on both ends of the spectrum in many languages. I do not think this

Totally agree. I had to stop reading after reading: "These findings suggest that spiritual Buddhist practices like yoga and meditation may not do what proponents typically say they do" I think comparing yoga/mediation in the

Not true. First, disobedience rarely results in jail. There are many intermediate forms of punishment. For example, losing rank, salary privileges, formal write ups, extra work responsibilities, etc. Also leaders tend to keep each other in

As a former Marine, I can say it's a bit of both. Obviously, the job is stressful all in itself. While I did not go to combat myself, I have lost friends, I've delivered flags to families of Marines who fell in combat, and have al

Having written most of a Gameboy emulator I can acknowledge how fun/tedious they are to write. I now feel motivated to go finish it. :)

I'm not sure why this got down voted. While I do think some of the Chinese methodologies/laws are a bit extreme, we have similar punishments and rules in the United States. Certain felonies cause people to lose the right to vote

Woah! This is awesome. :) I'd love to use this on my blog next time I need graphs.

It can also mean star, it’s pretty general for various astronomical bodies. You can also see it used in the word satellite (卫星), shooting star (流星), etc. gotta love Chinese :)

It was actually a couple psychedelic experiences that allowed me to "get over the hump" and "see" the universe the a larger, deeper, internal lens. It also allowed me to reflect and understand myself in a way that I foun

Right, that's more in line with the way I view duality. Lately I've actually came up with what I feel is an even more general pattern. And because it's 1am, I'll ramble a bit. :) Typically we like to say things like: Som

I mentioned loosely above, but I agree that your definition of duality appears to be the common interpretation. I think I also have to be more careful how I use the word in the future. :) I just realized I use it more generally, I think mor

Agreed. I actually wrote a short paper walking through determinism and non-determinism to ultimately demonstrate that we can’t describe a system in which we have control as any system with rules governing it directly violate the possibility
