The source for that quote is in mandarin, so maybe something got lost in translation. Edit: My mandarin is elementary school level, but there's a similar quote in the source article that sounds like "therefore they call it 2 day d

Oh yeah I love when people measure turns by the number of intersections to pass. Things like quarter mile or 1000 ft are hot garbage for me in terms of understanding how close I am to needing to turn, since it depends a lot on how fast I&#

Yeah I think it's interesting that the proof is being sold, when things like college degrees rarely get checked.

Am I reading this right? You have to pay 2.5% of your income for 7 years as a comp sci graduate for a loan of only $10k. Seems like a pretty terrible deal. Edit: Avg comp sci grad salary from Purdue is $72k, assuming 5% raises on average

That would be interesting, because it seems like a lot of blogs pretend to be from the present by updating the post/last modified date frequently but leaving the content the same as several years ago.

Most Asian countries use high stakes testing as the 'fair' way to admit students, so most of the cheating/bribery is on the testing side.

A lot of regrammers try to hide the original poster by cutting off watermarks, and jamming the attribution far below the (more) cut off if they even bother with attribution at all.

Yeah, I used to work at a company with a mix of union and non-union sites, and the unions were good in a sense that the company standardized a lot of general union policies across sites. So the end result was the non-union sites had most

Perverse incentives. Stock goes down if you have low growth or miss expectations, and China is such a huge unaccessible market that would be easy gains if the door was opened.

Foldimate does look promising, but in the videos it looks like you have to stand their and manually feed in which seems kind of time consuming.

At least it gives an opening to someone else to try to fill the need if it was useful.

Amazon's ad sales are kind of a double edged sword though since most of their ads are from product vendors. If vendors need to spend X% of their revenue on Amazon ads to make sales, the prices of products on Amazon will rise to compen

My iPad is mostly used as a remote for my Chromecast. Sometimes I'll take it traveling and load it with videos, but I haven't done that as much now that you have to take them out of your bag during the security check.

Germany used to export 69% of collected plastic to China too, so they will likely face a similar crisis as America. https://qz.com/1310240/chinas-ban-on-plastic-recycling-impor...

China doesn't value the average person's life. But as you can see in the Huawei case, they seem to value some lives very highly. I suspect that the people flying are multiple times more valued by the Chinese government than norm

Yeah I watched a documentary on what happens to the imported 'recycled' plastic, and stuff was blowing away in the wind, burning, kids were picking thru it by hand, etc. I'm not surprised that China would want to put a dampe
