I observed it multiple times during CS graduate school. An Indian high caste classmate refused to let his roommate sleep in the same bedroom. The higher caste guy told us that his roommate is of lower caste. The other poor guy ended up very

Not much on “continuous lockdown”. Lockdown in China is “dynamic” and at this point a great portion of the population has been on a lockdown at once. Many smaller city are in lockdown sporadically every few weeks but they are not crowded. M

> Here's to hoping the Pandas alternatives for Golang become mature soon enough so we can ditch Python for good. With python binding? Or pure Go? It seems impossible for data scientists to all switch to Go

Speaking as a former employee of a 3D startup that successfully exit - those technologies are never a game changer, they need a great business foundation to operate , such as a successful retail bussiness. It limits the business value of su

I hope it doesn’t, political reform in China is dangerous and may cause chaos - call me selfish but let my younger sister out first

Citizen data scientists are real in big enterprise, and now comes citizen “developers”. Low-code / no-code is big for a reason

Yep that’s more true - it’s an inevitable demographic shift caused by multiple factors and modernization. But I don’t think the cultural revolution play a critical role at all

That’s not remotely true. Where did you get this story from? I grew up in Beijing and my parents were sent to the countryside near the end of cultural revolution. They and most of their classmates from our neighborhood came back. My parents

Meh not so fast.. it’s China, it has plenty of talents and execution is not a concern. Take ride sharing as an example, those stated owned enterprises CAN do tech! > Other major state-owned automakers have rolled out their own ride-haili

More on the to-C technical startup founded by overseas Chinese who returns to the country. The national team now is disguised as private owned companies and have unfair advantage to supply chains, even better pricing with cloud providers

Funny anecdotes: it’s relatively rare to see company led by “old fart Beijingers” who have been native to the city for 2-3 generations. Immigrants have been driving the leadership there. Native Beijingers tends to be more layback and they t

While this is an excellent article (admittedly I stopped around half its too long) that refreshes most of my obsolete memory of China, I do think the author is a bit too optimistic. From what I heard from my startup founder friends, it’s be

I just think all those features are necessary for any serious usage and it’s costly to build all on your own. But perhaps you are right since it fit your business model - you seems not interested in building a platform at all

Playing devil’s delegate with a normal process how we launch new service in big tech: 1. Have you done a security review and ideally pen-testing from a 3rd party? Are you fully TLS from end to end, are you aware of any exploitable vector fr

But how can we trust the DIY stuff meet compliance and hold the right security bar? It’s much easier to do with AWS. Or maybe as a startup, to-C website you don’t really care

In the long run and for most higher global nationwide scale AWS/GCP will be cheaper from 1) general reduced price every few quarters/years 2)private contract. It’s important to realize those cloud providers does a whole bunch of w

Well even in PRC it’s widely recognized that we saw a boom of high quality cultural work in early 90s - peak of Chinese rock band, movies from the fifth generation Chinese directors, mainland/HK/Taiwan music. This time coincide wi

As a Chinese my friends and I are always amazed by the contemporary Japanese art, music and movies. I attributed the success partially to the democratic system and remain hopeful for our own culture. Their cultural marketing is also great

This is good, hopefully it makes it easier for internal team members to communicate with customers to resolve issues - the internal system has been very cumbersome

It’s more of a lost in translation - we use _laowai_ as a convenient word. When I just came to US, I sometimes still “translate” what I want to express from Chinese first, so I even called the other fellow US students “foreigner” once when
