Yes. It could become Orwellian, and I do see the issue with what a comprehensive surveillance state could become. Either way, China faces a very unique situation, but I do see overall improvement in living condition. I don't live the

All your points are valid. However you're only looking at it in a way that's familiar to you. Here's a personal example, my parents bought a condo in China in a new development area, searched around for renovators and found t

i don't think you understand the premises of how one ends up on the bad list. "owing" money means you borrow from secondary lender, using it to buy risky assets. you essentially played with fire and got burned. lots of cases

This. I've since learnt "recycling" meant more on the line of "collect+transport+sort+ship it out of sight". It was a business like any other, when it was profitable everything chugged along just fine.. as soon as m

Here's my question about unions and worker controlled workplaces.. What happens when the entire shop becomes uncompetitive? It's the same as when a country is happily going about their day and suddenly tanks show up at your door b

the whole argument of left is flawed. she's anti status-quo but are unwilling to sacrifice short term for it. basically her dream case scenario is to tax amazon 5B and then invest 3B it to bring them to Queens.. and then rake the retur

While I still think Carnegie's book is a must read, I feel like it can be summed up by: "empathy, have some." But his ethos is applied and over applied so much that some times it's a breath of fresh air when a sales pers

adding to that, i believe: fb is one of the first social implementation of b.j. fogg's behavior model + and engineered addiction, and the subsequent commoditization of likes and shares

I agree. I can easily convince myself I'm making a really good educated guess but in reality I'm probably just shooting 50/50, maybe even less because of bias. Probably the same reason why it's better to stick with index

yes. and platforms like Hootsuite lets you easily queue up and post them at a pre-scheduled time. my thought is. is there an interest for hyperlocal/true realtime instagram clone. so people can really discover what's around them

almost all of Golangs core libraries are written in Go and are fully open sourced. This makes jumping from your code to the std liberary super easy. Besides all the amazing open sourced projects, the best and easiest way to learn the langua

agreed. depending on the area. take Toronto for example, detached home prices are growing by 15%+ YoY.. soon young couples looking for a place of their own will have no choice but to look towards a condo.

I've had an uber driver take the on-ramp instead of the side road beside the highway at the destination because the pin indicated it's a bit further ahead.. I guess it's my fault for not noticing (since I was in the front sea

<300k gets you 500sqft bachelor pad. Rent is about 1500$ for bachelor, goes up to 2k for 1bed+den. I think the 30 rent rule is a great benchmark for living affordability, renting a 1bd+den is around 1700$ for downtown in a decent buildin

Unlike in C you can't tell the garbage collector to "ignore" a large chunk of the memory allocated in the buffer. what ends up happening is Go's GC spends lots of time traversing the heap and marking anyway and end up do

you know what'd be a good PR move? Uber helping private cab drivers such as those in the stories out by buying out the medallions and letting them drive under Uber. Win win.

nothing a couple generations of "re-education" couldn't fix. take China for example, took less than 2 generations to go from country of ancestry worshipping to "i don't know where my great grandfather is buried&#x2F

it's because we stopped "moving". for example, when was the last time you "ran to the store" to grab something like milk? I wouldn't call that exercise but it's definitely something current generation lost

The real question is, what is the acceptance rate of non-asian with similar profile as you just described. I'd be interested in this piece of data.
