   Will be very interesting to see how these two different ideologies play out over the coming years. According to the article Huawei favours ethnic Chinese over Europeans especially at management level and I’ve heard the same about TikTok so

   Do they have a coding style or similar in which this is outlined? I had a quick look at the code but I would be interested in what "a style that is something between C and C++" actually entails. Avoiding templates but using classe

   Interesting how polarizing this article is. I loved it and his writing style, I agree that it's rough premise and although there are counter arguments e.g. Stripe/Uber/Coinbase I think the overall argument is correct, the cul

   Very important point, academia is zero sum in a way that industry isn’t, however if you’ve got tenure you’re one of the winners.

   China has one of the world's largest populations, they also have an authoritarian government that can implement policies to increase birth rate. Long term China is fine. Europe not so much.. US even less so.

   Why is it not helpful? Sometimes people accept the reality of a certain situation as the only possible reality. It’s helpful to suggest what might happen in an alternative situation in order to put the current situation into context. The si

    While doctors do share some blame, they were actively targetted by Purdue with brochures, slick salesmen etc.How is was allowed is the real issue for me.

    I assumed they’d be executed on the spot for knowingly enriching themselves while addicting millions, leaving them to slowly decline mentally and physically before eventual death. China would have zero tolerance due to their opium history t

    What this family did was pure evil, they should all be in jail not negotiating a settlement that will leave them financially secure and amongst the richest Americans. Imagine if this scenario played out in China.

    Fantastic comment and exactly correct. The genetics argument is a complete fabrication, what I’ve heard before is that infants don’t eat enough solid food e.g. meat on the bone when younger but instead too much puréed soft food. But I’ve no

    That was always my default assumption but the argument in this article also seems logical.

    Here is a far better written intro to Rene Girard [0], the article linked is worst kind of overwritten academic verbiage with nothing substantive to say, almost incoherent. [0] https://alexdanco.com/2019/04/28&#x2F

    Is this a serious article? I know Intelligent people who have studied Mandarin for 10 years actively making an effort and are still unable to read a newspaper. So it’s extremely unlikely that mandarin will become a dominant text based langu

    I used to listen to Tim Ferris years ago, even bought the 4 hour workweek but for whatever reason I eventually lost interest. I think he was a bit predictable and bland also a bit too deep into "Tech" culture. Never really paid mu

    Where do you go for "robust intellectual discussion"? One thing about Joe Rogan is that he covers a far broader spectrum of people than anyone else. Who has Alex Jones/Elon Musk/Neil deGrasse Tyson on? To be frank I find
