I think the main reason alibaba got beat down was because it was moving from "tech" into finance offering unregulated loans and jack ma criticizing regulators did not help at all. And alibaba was not "deep tech", more…
i guess they can randomize the queue order so no one gets aan advantage by being in the queue first.
I've been hearing about this downturn for the past 3 years now. When is it coming?
As someone with severe Asian flush, with an overactive ADH gene (gene that converts of alcohol to acetaldehyde) and 2 defective ALDH2 alleles (gene that breaks down acetaldehyde into harmless byproducts), I wish there…
Slow adoption of firearms by the Chinese was less to do with the crossbow than the fact that the Manchus occupied China during a period when firearms was coming of age. The Manchus famously despised gunpowder weapons in…
I don't think that's the case. My cats knead my head, my chest, my abdomen and my legs, but it doesn't rest on me.
Why didn't the German government massively subsidize Green energy? How on earth is it right to criticize a government for subsidizing green energy in the face of climate change? The reason why solar panels are so cheap…
One theory is that churros came from the fried Chinese doughstick youtiao. The habit of eating raw fish in Japan probably developed indigenously but many of the words the Japanese use to describe sushi and raw fish came…
Baozi is unlikely to have come from the Ottomans via the Mongols. The Song dynasty chinese were already eating baozi and writing about it in their books and documents in the early 11th century, before the Ottomans were…
There's nothing to contradict as you have not provided any argument to support the claim that these two last humans must produce children.
It depends where you live. If you live in the US, you can sell your house, have 1M, move to a low cost housing part of the country, buy a house for 150k and have 850k leftover for retirement. I live in Singapore. If I…
Nowadays I hear a lot of people commenting about how excellent the quality of Japanese products are. How they have a "craftsmanship" culture where a master will spend his whole life perfecting a craft, etc. Recently…
Both the nominal and PPP GDPs of the US as a percentage of the world GDP have been dropping steadily over the past few decades. It used to be near 40% of the world's GDP. Now it's barely 20%. At what percentage point…
No, Matsu is part of the Fujian province of the Republic of China (RoC), not Taiwan province. The RoC controls only two provinces of China, Fujian and Taiwan province. The Fujian province is the only province of China…
HFTs do not create demand. Most of the time, they flatten their positions at the end of the day. As such, their impact on the market is minimal. And anyone who can claim that HFTs front run trades simply do not…
> 1. The kanji based words sound very different from what it would sound like in Chinese This is because you are probably speaking in mandarin which has deviated a great deal from Middle Chinese ever since the Jurchen…
I've always found it interesting that the Japanese use the character 赤 generically for the colour red but Chinese speakers use the character 紅. When they both refer specifically to different shades and tones of red and…
I don't think 11% is that worrisome. These are the cases where patients are ill enough to be admitted to the hospital. In the US, admitted patients of the flu have a 10% mortality rate, which is equivalent. We still…
"Over 723,000 people, or one in eight Singaporeans, has this name from the Tan state of the Zhou dynasty." Yeah, this is complete nonsense. The "Tan" surname is basically the hokkien/min-nan pronunciation of the chinese…
The fact that your well reasoned comment is downvoted shows how bad the Chinese hysteria has gotten.
No native Chinese speaker will mistake 鸿蒙 (Hong Meng) for 洪门(Hong men) . And no Non Chinese speaker will even know what is HongMen. Don't know where you're going with this.
> how they managed to fall so low I'm amazed that in so many English discussions about China's fall since the 17th century, there are absolutely zero mentions of the Manchus. On the other hand, read any Chinese…
>Also, they force companies to share their technologies/IP if they are interested in coming into Chinese markets - and then they just steal it to undercut the foreign companies. If the companies are willingly going to…
I think despite their best efforts, most people are still more or less influenced by nationalism. Not just Americans, but anyone in the world can be afflicted with nationalism that impacts true neutrality of viewpoints.…
" It’s no wonder China continues to try to hack our elections, steal tech IP, and use social media to sow discontent at every level of politics. " He might have mistaken China for Russia.
