This is nearly a tautology. Economic engagement with the rest of the world is obviously good for any single country (especially when you're essentially cherrypicking the rules you follow while the rest of the world is mostly compliant)

Do you have any numbers to back that last sentence up? I suspect the difference between your figure and intuition is less welfare administration bloat and more that most of it is eaten up by exorbitant healthcare costs through Medicare and

I would bet against any unified European action based on recent history and bet on "generally taking no action and leaving China relations to the member countries." This will almost certainly play to China's advantage as e.g.

The HK legislature and executive aren't democratically elected, but directly or indirectly chosen by Beijing. Moreover, Beijing's control over the legislature was increased when they "reinterpreted" the agreement and rem

It helps that SA isn't really a risk to export its censorship (among other ills) to the US in the near future. I generally sympathize with the position of rejecting Saudi money where possible, but it's inaccurate to frame US polic

Rare earth metals are not as rare as their name suggests, and there are plenty of mines outside of China capable of meeting demand for them. There hasn't been sufficient motivation to tap those mines yet, but that if there's money

I'm not sure that's what's at play here. Marketers could easily be aware of the ethical concerns and simply disregard them. Their salary doesn't depend at all on their ignorance of the ethical issues involved. More likel

The allegations against Huawei aren't that it "imported goods into Iran." The allegations are that it imported American goods into Iran, which is clearly a violation of US export laws. If such laws didn't apply to thir

The original author clearly has a point to make and providing an explicit definition of the relevant terms helps communicate them. If you want to discuss something else about "power", the comment section of this article is probab

My understanding is that HK future after 2047 is left unclear under the Sino-British Joint Declaration. Not that it's specified to be annexed to the mainland. Granted, in practice it's hard to see any other outcome from today&#x27

Referring to the top half: This answer seems to pretend the prisoner's dilemma doesn't exist. The world grows more when it works together. If China doesn't want to play by the rules of the global trading system, it should sto

Not sure what societies you're referring to. The UK is trying to figure out Brexit (still), France is dealing with the Yellow Vests, and the overall biggest political topic in the EU is restricting immigration. America has its problems

Based on what I know about how high-level executive meetings and presentations (which is the role Karpathy is playing here) go, there's a pretty good chance the presentation was not actually developed by Karpathy but a Tesla team of si

In a vacuum, what you're saying sounds eminently reasonable and fair. However, being familiar with other academic fields, it's my observation that these shifts toward "rigor over relevance" are generally less driven by t

I'm not so sure this is actually a cultural thing and not a convenience given the times thing. The Chinese education system seems to emphasize that many "Chinese" ideas were stolen by "foreigners"in previous generat

In my experience at a different FANG, the same culture exists here. If I had to guess, I would say it probably applies to the others as well.

This is all true. I would also add to this as a cause the trend of media outlets publishing a larger proportion of populist and outrage -driven content than they used to, which I suspect is a reaction to the new attention-driven business mo

That's not really the full story though. The CCP was worried about the passive soft power of an uncensored internet. The concern stated here is for soft power resulting from the active influence campaigns and censorship originating fro

Right, I don't quite understand why there's so much secrecy around OBOR projects if the CCP really believes these deals are a partly altruistic and fully mutually beneficial agreement. It would seem to be be in their interest to p

Is Google's AI work in China public though? If that's not the case, I see Dunford's point. The DoD does not have a unit in Deepmind ensuring all of their findings are evaluated for potential military usage as far as I know. W

It's reasonable (at least in the US and most other developed countries). Economic output is the product of the number of workers and their productivity. The US population is aging (so Baby Boomers are retiring) and its fertility is low
