Shintoism is still pretty much a mixture of Taoism, Buddhism and some local myths. Anyway, I'm trying to merge them as much as possible instead of dividing them.

It's my mistake to think that Hinduism originates from Buddhism. However, core beliefs of both seem to be quite compatible with each other.

Actually, the map is Abraham-centric in a way that it emphasizes the differentiation of Asian religions too much. Most of the Asian religions are blends of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and a few local elements. Looking at the pattern of c

It depends. Many top and ambitious talents did go back to China because they may get higher pay and have a higher chance of becoming billionaires. Average Joes like me tend to stay in the US because everything is much easier and less compet

The salary data is way outdated. All of my developer friends who returned to first-tier cities in China earn >4k USD per month. Even nannies generally earn more than 2k USD per month, it's hard to survive in tier-1 cities with 1k US

China has been doing central planning for more than two thousands of years. Japan and Korea copied the system.

Lab-grown meat, along with vertical farming, may also make space colonization easier, or at least make the experience more enjoyable.

There is a possible political drive behind recent mass media coverage on Xinjiang surveillance. It will not surprise me if the US announces sanctions on Chinese AI firms in a couple of months.

Japanese advertising is in its own dimension, there's always an intriguing mix of cuteness and awkwardness.

One can also interpret it as that, once human learnt to use fire, cooked food made jaws and teeth less important, so people with bigger brain would reproduce more, no matter how their teeth look like. There's also cultural difference i

Face hacking doesn't necessarily have to be hi-tech. Maybe more and more people in future will dress like activists. Mouth mask may become an important fashion piece, which is already happening in East Asian societies.

Is there any discussion on HN about how to handle these kinds of for-profit fake news factories? Edit: I found one here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16774129

"throw them all in jail" is your sensationalized interpretation, which BTW is what I hate to see on HN. I was just talking about the poll results would not change.

Can you elaborate? It seems each vote would be harder to tamper if blockchain is applied. (or some other techniques chaining data together to be verified)

Is it just exam anxiety? Or STEM anxiety? It seems to have the same root cause as STEM supremacy, or some bias opinions towards liberal art majors.

I'm bewildered that you are upset about the post, because I genuinely think it's a sound inference if you do the math...

I usually only post when I think a story is too one-sided or some key facts are unmentioned. For my posts related to China, you may find a similar post history from some other HNers who have worked for years in Asia.

The number of gov-backed trolls is overestimated. Majority of those are simply real people using VPNs. It may sound hard to believe, but think twice about the huge size of population and high rate of Internet penetration. Chinese population

I know you are referring to Chinese students. But the reality is that SAT and GRE are stupidly easy, especially math. Almost every Chinese student I know achieved full score in GRE math, and yes, more than half of them spoke broken English.

We all knew these tricks and started from there back in the day. Don't you think they are way too hacky? and cause too many page refreshes? Have you ever maintained codes mixing server-side templating and JS scripts? And there are so m
