While democracy alone makes no such promise. If majority of people votes for entrenchment of power elites, that's what you get from democracy

At this point no one expect alphago would lose. So just have fun

Well different people need different amount of time to prepare for interviews, but if preparing for one month gets you a much better job offer, that sounds like a good investment to me.

Just to be fair, i think the comments in the source code has explained it well

Nah we use the word "Chinese food" in China too when we need to distinguish from other cuisines. We also use "western food" a lot when we talk about any European or American food.
337.
by echevil 9y ago
More accurately "exotic" food. For most native Chinese, if you ask them to have western food a few days in a row they'll be desperate to find Chinese food again

Yeah, American Chinese food is mostly Cantonese, which is only one of the eight major cuisines in China. Even if it were exactly the same as Cantonese food in China (it is not, apparently), it would still be unfamiliar to most Chinese peopl

Tones are almost the easiest part. The Chinese characters are much more difficult thing to tackle, which a lot of foreign learners skip, but in that way you'll never be able to read anything written in Chinese. The article you referenc

That's just an example that i find interesting enough, that quite a few US companies tried to solve, but still have a long way to go. As for self-driving cars, Chinese companies like Baidu are not unlike Google, and they are investing&

Well there are tons of interesting tech work done in China, targeting only Chinese market though :) its a self contained market I can walk around and pay for everything with my cellphone nowadays in China, but can't really do that in B

Real estate costs in Shenzhen rose dramatically as well. It's not much better than Beijing now

Well, for one thing you'll need to learn to speak Chinese, and that'd be much harder than learning English. Also, it's close to impossible to immigrate to China at the moment.
344.
by echevil 10y ago
Have no fear. Immigrating to China is basically mission impossible for people with no existing ties.

There are more than a billion Chinese, and only a tiny number of them came to US for college. From such a large population pool, you can find people with all kinds of options. Even if all of those who came to US are aligned with western ide

Well I won't be surprised at all if VC's like Peter Thiel invests primarily in China someday if he finds it more profitable, but that would have no implications on that he also wants to shift his lifestyle or culture in anyway. It

It doesn't make a difference whether or not Peter Thiel would want to move to China or not. There are tons of VCs in China and also government funding. It also has an economy that can sustain itself. For sure there are many Chinese mov

Not just trade barrier, infiltrating other culture, by itself, is hard to achieve. SV companies has many analogues in many other countries as well. Japan has Mixi, Rakuten, Line, Russia has Yandex. They also have things that do not exist in

I agree that is good, but people can travel with all kinds of purposes. Getting to know the local culture is merely one of many.

by echevil 10y ago
You're worrying too much. A big differerence in China is that people will take this kind of things much less seriously. Even the impact of credit scores are close to zero.

Citation not needed. This is merely ignorance

This is mostly just human nature. When a westerner goes to an China for either work or study, a lot of them end up doing the same thing. The culture barrier makes it very hard to really bond with locals and they hang out in bars that are po

I'm not saying air pollution is not a problem at all. It may had gone really bad in a few major cities a few times, but it's not something everyone gets to experience. The overall air quality is not top notch but it's also no

If you love American life just stay here and no one is asking you to move to China. There are tons of people (not necessarily rich) prefer living in China than in America. They just care about different things. As a Chinese citizen living i

It'd be more interesting to see a ranking by only the average competitiveness of their undergraduate school students, and I bet you will see lots of Chinese and Indian university on top and American Universities are not anywhere close.

A bogus claim like this is no better than any communist propaganda at all

I wonder how would you know you've got best Chinese engineers on payroll? If your company is only good enough to attract technicians, of course that's all you can get.
