Yes, there are still plenty of village idiots in China. Still doesn't make my statements any less true though.

Joking aside, any acquisition of this size would take well over a year to complete. During that time, expect productivity loss from both sides. Still a decent chance that it gets blocked.

I think Apple would want to do it. The problem will always be regulators blocking the deal. The breakup fees would be costly. The productivity loss would be big.

Spoke to a few traditional office sales people and asked them about WeWork. All of them said the WeWork model was never going to work. WeWork caters to startups/small companies and individuals. This group of customers has the least amo

Are we assuming that low and middle income countries still live in villages? For example, in Malaysia, most people no longer live in villages but it's counted as a middle income country.

Agreed. Stay away from Brave. Just use Chrome with uBlock Origin. The company behind is is scummy with its cryptocurrency.

That depends. I would probably be labeled as a "China apologists". It depends on what opinion you want. Overall China/Taiwan relations? US's role in this? Historical opinion dating back to 100 years of humiliation? China

You're getting way ahead of yourself. Bottom line is, if customers valued removable batteries enough, it would still be a feature for phone makers today.

I don't know about other manufacturers but Apple can replace your iPhone 5 battery for $49. That's a 11 year old phone. https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/battery-replacement

Phone numbers quickly adopted USB-C. In fact, phone makers themselves formed a group together with other tech companies and created USB-C. It had nothing to do with the government. Heck, even Apple was slowly transitioning to USB-C and they

A removable battery means: * Worse water proof - leading to a higher chance that water breaks your phone entirely * Thicker phone due to space constraints * Worse battery life, because built in batteries can take on weird shapes to maximize

Go to your mainstream news source, find one positive thing said about China in the last week. Give us a link here. While you're there, count how many negative articles about China.

It's not that they can't say anything bad about China. It's just that everything said about China is negative in the US. When was the last time you read something positive about China in the mainstream media? 1.4 billion peop

You can apply that principle to yourself. You go out of your way to look for uncharitable ways of interpreting how others are interpreting your messages.

Very similar to Nazi Germany driving out Jewish scientists. We all know how that ended.

That actually proves one of my points. I didn’t want to get into it too much but I wrote that Chinese people are on average, more pro-science because they’re less religious or that their religion does not strongly contradict with science. I

I never said the Chinese is an exception. I was only following the logic of the original question and your initial reply.

One difference I’ve found living in the West and China is that being academically successful often gets you made fun of in the US but adored in China. There’s quite a lot of anti-intellectualism in the US. Therefore, there’s an equal amount

I, too, found it fascinating how every initial reply dodged giving the Chinese credit. Instead, all of them tried every way to paint their publications in a negative light. Surely, most tech workers have encountered working with highly comp

To add to your list of possible reasons: - There are way more STEM graduates in China by a wide margin - 18/20 of top universities in the world for chemistry research is in China according to Nature, including one of the attempts by US

Well, most of HN still has the mentality that China can only copy/steal as perpetuated by the media. It was true 20 years ago when China had to catch up in everything. The thinking needs to be updated. Heck, just look at chemistry publ

We realized that a long time ago. I first realized it in 2017. But a lot of people need to learn the lesson. Some people know it's all fraud but are in it to game it.

It isn't misplaced. It's hard to dynamically figure out if you're an EU citizen or not via the browser. Hence, websites play it "safe" by showing it to pretty much the whole world.
