In China, particularly in Tibet and Qinghai, plague still occasionally occurs, because a wild animal, the Himalayan marmots carry it and people may get plague from them. After the CCP took over Tibet, antibotics were…
This reminds me of the so-called "heartless couplet" (无情对) in Chinese. Every pair of words in the couplets are synonymous or anonymous, and yet the meanings of the couplets are completely unrelated, often in a humorous…
AI is good if you use it wisely. There were reports years ago about using AI in SoCal to detect wild fires, but in the end we see insurance companies using AI to withdraw from areas of high fire risk. Quite competent…
I would not jump to the conclusion solely based on isotope signatures. A decade or so ago, a prominent Chinese professor Weidong Sun specialized in geochemistry analyzed the ancient bronze artifacts dated back to the…
That's nonsense. Searching for "广告拦截" on Baidu returns hundreds of thousands of webpages and tutorials telling users how to install and turn on ad blockers, and Chinese smartphone brands often boast that their products…
I still remember when I bought my first sony vaio in about 2004, running on Windows XP in Japanese, I was just appalled to find that a whole family of useless crap softwares pre-installed. There was an app that notifies…
It is celebrated by quite a lot of people in China, Korea, and even in Japan. Yes, Japan. For many Japanese people, the Abenomics did not really revive the economy, and their lives haven't really improved. If you…
I would say it's not an issue about democracy or bureaucracy, it's because the responsibility is diluted. Someone is not happy with this? Great, it is now not because we do not do it, it is because we take every…
From the viewpoint of people outside the US, Americans probably believe that gun violence is just a mild condition, and decide to live with it. Just like the covid, sure it kills some people, like 10 in 100000, but for…

In the past the big multinational corporations did not give a shit about ethics. IBM happily sold Hitler machines to categorize jews gipsies slavs and gay people. Now programmers 'protest', or more accurately, attack…
I am not sure whether this is disinformation, but in Feb there was this news https://thebulletin.org/2022/02/us-official-russian-invasion... So either Russians are very quick to come up with this whole thing and waving…
Some people really need to see what the other parts of the world are thinking. Why would India take a stance in this war? When the border dispute between China and India broke up Russia still signed a huge military…
I am really interested in India's stance on this. Russia is India's largest source of arms, and even now Russia still has arms worth blns to be delivered to India. The last two years saw some border dispute between…
Biden said that US is not going to war, but in fact there are many ways to slow down the Russians. You could have a voluntary army from western countries geared with weapons and supplies, like during the Spanish civil…

Yes evidence, more evidence, just like the good ol' time that US had evidence from Nayirah, and Powell wielded a tube of wash powder in UN claiming that was WMD. I do believe that President Trump deserves a Nobel Peace…
You have to outnumber for security. From the videos in Hong Kong, I noticed that the journalists in shiny PRESS vests were usually WAAAAAY more than the number of police, many of them only holding video-taking cell…
Initially Chinese people treated it as flu, then they freaked out finding it to be SARS-like, and Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore set temperature checks. During the SARS outbreak, Asian countries run totally unprotected…
There are discussions on which Mongolia (Mongolia or Inner Mongolia) is the true descendent of the Golden Horde. Mongolia usually claim that they directly descend from Genghis Khan, but genetic analysis suggest that…
