It is a very interesting topic beyond food. When I first came to America, I was surprised and confused by the lack of diversity on vegetables in grocery stores. Around the small Midwest town I lived, there were many weeds that look edible.

This happens to me as well. Here is my experience and interpretation. Before I turned ~20 years old, I was able to remember almost everything from a book, except exact numbers and foreign names. Along with getting older, I could remember le

I agree. If he fails to deliver, his support will wane. It is intriguing to think how it will change people's mindset, to what direction and to what degree, if it happens. China and the world have been undergoing changes in a fast pace

Another wow. Could you give your arguments, your point of views, etc. instead of resorting to personal attack?

First, it is misinterpretation to say "personality cult thing". Xi does has much stronger support than Hu Jintao and Jiang Zemin. There have been endless mockeries towards Hu and Jiang in the Internet. You won't find many tow

I agree that steel requires more skilled construction workers. What I said is that because steel was scarce, more concretes had to be used in the construction. In turn, they didn't need to hire that many skilled workers to work on stee

I would prefer to "inexperienced" as well. Some junior engineers are apparently talented. They would make some of the mistakes. Even if people point out the mistake to them, they might not fully get the reasoning behind the better

I am not sure if your comment is supposed to reply to mine. I do think there are incompetent engineers, and I have interviewed about a dozen of them. It is very easy to filter them out. The challenging part is to evaluate how good the candi

Strongly agree. Having been involved in a large number of interviews as an interviewer, my experience tells me the issue is that many highly-competent engineers are incompetent interviewers. To illustrate my point, here is an imaginary exam

The OP's point is, unless I misread it, not that there are no incompetent engineers who can't code, but it is ridiculous to, like, ask some "fancy" algorithm questions, brain teasers, etc. that are mostly not related to
