Was it even legal to ask for unpaid overtime in Sweden? Unfortunately that's the reality. Young immigrants feel insecure in the country and would grab and hold on anything can keep them afloat above the water level. People make differe

PLA in the past is basically a career choice for people from rural area. You get sponsored for education, and will get a job in the city after you quit the army. Most of my childhood friends served in the army before they got their jobs, be

The environment you are describing is 'developing world', especially when it wants to play the catch up game. It can only get worse because they soon find out catching-up is a lot more difficult than they imagined. As a Chinese I

part of the reason that shein and temu is gaining is that some manufactures are moving away from China. This leaves huge capacity in manufacture to be filled, which means it is cheaper and faster for shein and temu.

I kinda agree with you, I think labour is good for prisoners. They were forced to be contained in a prison anyway. I think the solution is better managed prison, where prisons would work to cover the cost the prison, including food, electri

Damn. I didn't know that. Chinese people will never buy peeled garlic. I once saw a machine to peel garlic, basically roll garlics in a container and the skins will come off automatically. I wonder if it can works out cheaper and kill

If there is no risk of war (economically and militarily), I don't think you "need" technology. Of course, it is good to have technology, but it is not a necessity for survival.

Maybe with artificial intelligence, we don't need many smart kids any more. Tell me why do we need smart kids (if we don't have to compete with other countries, i.e. if it is not required for war).

All I need is a water proof Vision Pro I can wear in swimming pool. Swimming is very good exercise but very boring, and it is also a free environment for VR. Imaging having Vision Pro when swimming, that will be the best experience ever.

An EV with motor generator, charge at home, and fill your tank when you have to make a longer trip just in case, problem solved. It should work for many scenarios but not all of them. Say the battery covers 300km, with a tank of gas it can

I was on Chinese TikTok: Douyin, I only saw two videos reporting this, it is a recording from a news reporting with translation on top of it. The video clip is 30s long. That's it. To be honest, I don't think many Chinese care

I would choose a service where there is a human can you talk to when you need help. Customer support, user centric system. I have my phone number registered as 2FA, apparently it is not enough.

I would like to add that, yes, tofu is added to meat dish as a complimentary, not exactly to flavor it with meat. When you say flavor it with meat, I would assume meat is the ingredient to flavor tofu, mostly it is not true, meat is the mai

Yes and no. We need reorganize the society to redistribute wealth. If AI is going to replace human in work places, let it be, it is good. We just need to make sure human don't need to work to survive. That's it.
