Yes this person expresses well the current atmosphere, I say that living in China surrounded by this low key annoyance at both the communist success (like, it s an old country, what have we done the last 6000 years and who's now feedin

Not sure what you mean, bonds and stocks are different liabilities and a state utility by definition cannot issue equity or the state would lose ownership. It means they must pay their bond coupons and therefore are very risk adverse and ch

I am a bit unnerved each time I read an american using this self referential logic that the US are good because the US are good. We dont all want to live in a theocratic bi-party corporatist paradise, crushed by personal loans to cure grand

You can, but profitability is limited. You can have 5/6 maybe max in a dense country. With 4 in France, they each slowly fibered the whole country reaching an approximate 25% coverage each and compete in wave: one day they are at 20MBp

Man those prices, Ill use other currencies to be more precise, but in Paris, the 1Gbps was 30 euros and now that I live in Hong Kong it's 250 HKD. Canadian prices could be explained by the increasing cost with lower density, but damn,

He has no more mandate to lead China than me, a random dude in China. He's not elected, he didnt perform incredible national deed (like some victorious war general sometimes), he's not pushed by the people etc. It feels he's

Well that's where there is a definite tension with the US for sure. I'm French and in Hong Kong: in both France and Hong Kong we've seen instances of maybe exagerated outreach by the US into things maybe we should be left try

China is special in its way of handling foreign spies I heard: no ideology, just money and overall agreeable contact. Like a business relationship. That s how they got both much deeper but a lot less loyal cohort of useful idiots to help a

This is surprisingly not true, have you tried ? When you start from scratch you realize you have a tiny minuscule surface and securing that very small hole is much easier than say... fixing the log4j 20th level transitive dependency of your

Notice that this guy used the lexical domain of religious belief. Not even trying to explain why, just "if you believe, come to my church".

All this is also very american. Other languages/culture are variate as well and mixing your local culture with some anglo-american influence is super interesting too. None of my ancestors spoke English, thanks to the internet I'm

I think trivial. Manipulating the DOM without Javascript is as useful to understand it as manipulating a car without hands. It can work other ways, you can prefer it but it wasn't made for that amount of flexibility. Better use wasm fo

Yes one of his mistake is to use the same username everywhere. He just needs a few links and he's burned. It's better to use a username you copied from someone else also, like that if people find links, they find someone else enti

Nope, if code wasnt testable, code was less valuable. Overall architecture doesnt bring client, doesnt ease test, doesn't speed up development, etc: it can be just a pretty picture on the architect's wall while everyone is miserab

There is no retrocausality exactly because there is time resolution: causality with sort itself out whatever the cost, is what the quantum erasure experiment showed.

I work in a 100yo investment bank and am quite familiar with how it all works and yet, even if I didnt just work in a technical-centric company like you but a business and finance-centric one at that, I still think it's gibberish. Wors

Because it's hard to forbid you to own stuff honestly, and lots of people did nothing wrong, sometimes worked all their lives, for a second home.
