It's also sort of easy to tell when he uses terms like "Western media" -> I almost never refer to the media, or myself as "Western". I'm just me. Only someone who wants to promote an "Us = Chinese vs. T

There is also some outright "pickyness" coming from the younger generations against work that's seen as manual and unsophisticated, at least I perceived this in the architecture school I went to for a number of years. I remem

This article presents one of those ironies about human society: how as much as we promote working things out without violence, we have that inner craving to just see the good guys to blow the baddies away. It's almost like fast food, i

I totally agree with you that geopolitics matter, no matter how much one wishes we could just live in a world that isn't "might makes right". But I'd still argue that using terms like "Russia's backyard" o

All this talk about "China/America/Russia"'s backyard makes me feel like we are returning to the days of feuding empires where the little countries don't matter. I guess big countries deserve big backyards and

But can you blame them? For years China's mantra to the West was, "Look at how great our economy's doing! Look at how divided and problematic democracies can be, they are not even that much better than China on human rights!

Is there a way of turning off the screenshot previews? I don't particularly need it all the time and I'd imagine it stresses the engine a bit more than spitting things out in text-based, list format.

What if one language has a word that simply has no equivalent in another language? Wouldn't that word be 'off the charts'? Chinese has many characters that are pretty much exclusively used for names and making sounds when tra

We've achieved a lot of things they couldn't possibly imagine. Here's hoping we achieve things in 100 yrs we can't even dream of today.

Sounds like the Trump effect only this time it's Chinese v. Foreigners. I'm Chinese and I know that my people have a strong sense of national and racial unity. We easily get triggered when we see Chinese people neglected/crit

IMO it's not Xi that's similar to the current nationalism trend, his China IS the reason it exists. China today is the shining example of how economically successful a country can get by just focusing on the cold hard numbers - no

I have a feeling we're all trying to imitate China. For at least a decade now a dominant rhetoric has been, 'China spends all their time and effort focused on their own country, as opposed to being involved in human rights, foreig

Not the best message to young people: that puts people on either "the good, progressive side" or the "bad, conservative side". This is what creates the divisive, no-compromise society we see today. In addition, for some

This reminds me of my elem school days (which was like 2003) when I bought Anno 1503 whilst looking for any game that looked like Age of Empires on its cover. Initially, I regretted my purchase as a kid. By the time I got the hang of the ga

It's a double whammy when you also consider that property taxes are generally based on real estate value. City and local governments are dependent on that income and have little incentive to see real estate values (and thus tax) go dow

Don't spend too much time worrying about this. There's a reason why companies use ATS and that's to filter out a large volume of applicants. Even if you formatted well, you'll need to have enough keywords, etc. to win ag

Kenneth should repeat N's big takeaway: • Avoid using custom DNS emails (e.g. yourname@yourdomain.com) for any login purposes. It basically opens you up for these kind of attacks (where a hacker breaks into your domain name account and
