For those of you on long breaks or have been unemployed for a 6+ months, what do you do with all your spare time? I resigned from my position in Jan 2022 and have been developing a computer game in C++ as a way to level up my programming sk

I am really curious what gigs at 5-15 hours a week is paying out 5k-15k a month. I can think of some potential lucrative consulting?

Here is an example: target metrics are heavily manipulated and people don't really want to know what's going on. At my first job the Director of Product would change the way a target KPI was measured every few months but would not

I have to agree with a lot of this - I started my career as a data scientist right out of a STEM PhD back when the term just started coming into existence. At the time, anyone who wanted to get hired as a Data Scientist needed to be trained

This has been my experience as well. Among those who I know who contracted Covid, either this year or last, all had >=2 shots. None of them ended up hospitalized, but did get very sick, bedridden, trouble breathing, no sense of taste, et

Before covid I would have just said go visit China and travel the country. I don't think westerners really understand China as cliched as that sounds. If you add up all the western countries together + their westernized protecterates&#

Atheism, or a disbelief in a lack of an afterlife is as much a belief system as theism. There is no way to prove it one way or the other, so I still caution against subscribing to such a hardcore position. Especially because that afterlife

On the flip side maybe Fdroid will take off. Is fdroid open source repos only? If Bytedance was gutsy they could release an open source version of tiktok. They could keep their algo as closed off either as compiled code or for the app to ma

Still wouldn't short it, buy some put options if you feel lucky but there were plenty of people holding tesla shorts last year that didn't go so well. The market can be irrational longer then you can stay solvent. A clever way of

Wonder how long before Chinese people will have to anglicize their names in the U.S. On a more serious note, I wonder how this can be enforced? Prevent distribution on Play store and apple store? Can't you just sideload on android? You

That's just because the U.S. is better at propaganda then China. Probably due to cultural differences. In the west official term for this is "soft power". Propaganda is when China, Russia or other adversarial countries do it.

Maybe it's a next level play the more hardline authoritarian China becomes the easier it is to rally the domestic population to be anti-Chinese in all matters. Remember when terrorists created sectarian violence in Iraq for the sole pu

When I was traveling around Xinjiang about two years back it was obvious something was going on. In Korla everyone getting off the train had to submit to a retinal scan, presumably so authorities know all the ingress and egress into town, g

True, but we live relative to the lifespan of an empire. A person born in 1842 in China would have lived only known a falling empire his whole life. A person born in 1945 in America will only know an ascendant one. The "long run"

Americans are winners as were the Brits before them. History will always favor the winner. The only practical lesson out of this sad story and countless others through history is: learn to be strong and so you can be a winner.

From what I gather he's quite genuinely popular with the lower and rural classes. But abolishing term limits was a big mistake. The issue is no longer whether elites domestically are going to go along with it. China is so big these day

I think its easy to get into this way of thinking. I have gone down that rabbit hole and it may well be that is the historical evidence but at the end of the day humans have agency and collectively countries and nations have agency. My pred

Don't forget behind China, you got India, SEA, the rest of Africa which will experience a population boom this century. How we going to feed all these people when their living standards go up? We need to get to mars fast.

Course of Theoretical Physics by Lev Landau, Evgeny Lifshitz was considered the gold standard at the graduate level, although not very pedagogical. It's better to read the particular books after one has already taken a course on the co

Lot of talk about TSMC building a plant in Wisconsin but as far as I could dig up its basically the same as what they already have in Nanjing. A play meant to make them appear like a neutral party.

That was true about 5 years ago. I think the last couple of years have brought some breakthroughs in China on this front after about 30 years of trying. Not for commercial aircraft but definitely for military jets.

Kirin's probably source something from U.S. designs right? Hence it's production run must end. I am guessing this means Huawei needs to switch to a design that is wholly originating from China (with possible input from Japan and K

I might get downvoted for this but I think it's a very real possibility. Withdraw the embassy from Beijing, recognize Taiwan and force a embargo of all Taiwanese/Korean and Japanese semiconductor supplies and components to Mainlan
