Having lived in Singapore for 10 years, I can think of some factors: Low crime rate. Less crime, less death and injuries. High percentage of old people working. Working means more money to sustain life and pay medical bills. CPF. You and yo

I know this is hugely unpopular, but...that sounds like a problem that communism was initially designed for, where productivity is so high that people can just take what they need.

That's actually quite true, come to think of it. Maybe I was actually giving too much credit.

I have been thinking about the issue of "saving the planet", which is similar to "saving the endangered spices from extinctions". Ultimately I think humans are just selfish by nature and they only do things to ensure the

1. I don't appreciate being called 50 center . 2. Any evidence will do, as long as it comes from a reputable source. You get to decide what constitutes a "reputable source".

Your article talks about the same issue as the one being discussed here. And my comment is to shed light onto this issue from the other side (debt issuer). Anything wrong with that?

Okay that's enough China bashing threads. On the positive side, China has in the past waived some debts of African countries, which don't get to top of HN. https://www.wsj.com/articles/chinas-xi-pledges-60-bil

Err, the tone is way too personal. This kind of editorial rants reminds me of articles on medium.

So here's how I use 2FA apps: I have my primary phone with Authy and all the accounts. I also have a secondary (old) phone in my drawer, which also has Authy installed. Both of them automatically sync the 2FA accounts in my Authy accou

I am not sure where you live, but in many places you can't host your own servers from your room because of ISP restrictions. Also, there are not a lot of places where you can find data centers that rent servers out for personal uses.

> Is this whataboutism? 1. The topic on this thread is copyright, not bilibili or YouTube per se. 2. You brought up YouTube yourself. I agree with the rest of your statements. YouTube is better than other websites in protecting copyright

I don't understand what's wrong with this comment, but OP is right. We have seen cases where domain registries or hosting providers suspend accounts for violating their ToS, which is totally legal.

Bilibili certainly has copyright issues, but it's the same issue with YouTube and other millions of websites with user-uploaded pirated contents. I wouldn't say Bilibili is much worse than any other websites.

I get the idea of back links. But I doubt our small discussion on HN would have much impact given it already copied thousands of posts at this point.

That explains it. In this case Dragonfly sounds more like a nickname rather than the official name. As seen in one of photos in the sohu link, the English spelling is Qiantu, not Dragonfly or Qingting.
