I don't understand why this gets down-voted. Maybe I missed some very subtle tone? I do agree that we need more information. When I see an article with "statistically" in the title, I want to see some data and some robust ana

My ways to stay positive: - Establish coding style guidelines. There should NOT be only one way, but all the different formats should be compatible in terms of feeling comfortable to read them. Also, weed out senior candidates who paid no

I doubt it. Here are my thoughts. At the beginning level, players must learn and memorize a large number of Dingshi, which means fixed patterns. Their scopes are small, restricted to less than 30 cross points, if my memory serves right. The

Thank you for your advice, especially on controlling the points at which to switch context. I can listen, think, and talk. So I have no problem in meetings and discussions on either technical or non-technical matters. I am pretty good to go

Food safety is definitely the most important thing for a kitchen. It doesn't matter it serves food to children or adults. Pardon my English if I didn't make myself clear. When I say "undesirable" cuts, it doesn't me

This is amazing! I am not a chef. I cook at home, and my cooking skills might be above average. I believe that the cheapest way to run a school cafeteria is to make food from scratch. It is also a much healthier approach. For example, inste

As a side note, a wrong picture is placed in the article. In China's stock market, red indicates positive changes, while green indicates negative changes. It is the opposite to those in USA.

In theory, you are right. So the circuit breaker is uni-directional in NYSE and NASDAQ. It is bi-directional in China, though. The upside circuit break has very practical implications. China's current stock market was started in 1990.

Can't agree more. One start-up which I worked for a few years went bust. It was an experience that brought up very complicated feelings of proud, pain, excitement, upset, comradeship, disappointment, etc. Although it was painful to acc

The majority of Western media are simply reluctant to give credit for any progress China has made. When they did, they never failed to emphasize that the air pollution, the products of low quality, the Communist government, the violation of

"because people in power is desperate to control their own people". I agree with this comment. One has to use VPN to access some websites. The restrictions are definitely getting tighter. But 6 layers of VPN? I don't know abo

If the research misconducts are from Japan, China and South Korean, they would immediately become the top news in the major media in USA. If they are from Western countries, well, most of them didn't even get mentioned in the same medi

Hilarious! It also makes me understand Indian better. One suggestion: please ask somebody to edit it before publishing it, unless it was meant to achieve some specific effects i am not aware of.

I think it is better to compare "grams per person" than "calories per person" in meat consumption. In most East Asian cuisines, whole animal is more preferred than muscle meat. In general, non-muscle meat are fattier and

Agree. I don't think physical distance and density are important factors. Culture might be. People are more friendly in the midwest, and they are more open to talk about family matters. Family matters are in essence intimate, and the t

One question I haven't seen to be raised often is how the reviews are "regulated" by airbnb. I rented an apartment in a metropolitan city via airbnb last year. Both the owner and the apartment got about ~15 excellent reviews.
