In the US, sure, but the rest of the world is in varying states of dealing with long seated prejudices. The issue I have with the US is that for all the talk of trying to rectify racism everyone seems more intent on "othering" tha

Face is used to rile the public, but it's rarely the motivation of those calling the shots. If face were at play Xi wouldn't have suddenly opened up with covid, backed down after threats when Pelosi visited, or let the Diaoyu Isl

I wouldn't say any actions are idncidcating we're closer. There have been numerous conflicts across the strait in the last half century. If the KMT takes control of the presidency in the next election it'll calm down a lot.

Free floating is a mess. Living in China the bikes were everywhere. Masses piled outside every metro stop. In Taiwan/Taipei the system has bike docks at every metro and many other places as well. There's an app that tells you how

People always say this, but in the last half decade I've put Linux (ubuntu varieties) on multiple desktops with near 0 additional effort needed. At most I needed to install a proprietary Nvidia driver which was easily done without usin

Yes, if you commit a crime, petty or not, rich or poor, you should face a court. If you park in front of a fire hydrant, whether you're a mom picking up her kid or the president, you should get a ticket. If there is no attempt at equal

As a longtime educator, I see a lot of experienced teachers leaving. In fact, I'm leaving this year, though I'm unsure if it's permanent. It's a mixture of reasons, from low pay to high demands, but I think a large part

How do you know what bad things will be done? Do we have laws against tweaking an algorithm to display more anti-American videos or videos on eating Tidepods or other harmful things? How do you even prove it? We can easily react to American

For me I don't really care if they are better or worse, I'm just tired of Chinese companies milking the open the market while being protected in their own. If these companies want to participate in the other markets then they shou
