A regular person is way more at risk with their data collected and analyzed by their own government than a foreign one.

Propaganda shouldn’t be the excuse for an echo chamber. It’s not much better one or the other anyway

Propaganda is common though. Many companies have their own newsletter and plenty do paid advertising, some in subtle ways. Plenty of scientific research is paid for by companies for their own gain. Authors are destined to propagate their ow

Hmmm. I'm sure there will be an impact, but don't think it would be that significiant. A global talent pool of top engineers who can join the competition is already quite limited, and a fair share of them is already in the US, whe

Pollution's gonna happen somewhere unless the way we manufacture changes radically. The US never solved the problem, it just outsourced it. Overall, I think progress's been made.

If you set USD as the base currency then there is going to be exchange, as such there will be fluctuations, so yes. Yet there is risk just holding on to USD as well, perhaps it wasn't so evident because you consider USD as the default.

I just read all three credit bureaus removed medical bills from their report.

This is false. Anyone's prediction for long term exchange rate is CNY's relative value to USD is getting higher, do note the PPP rate of CNY is around 3 for one compare to exchange rate roughly 6 for one. So unless you are doing s

I don't think this is stupid on Russia's side. No one's going into war thinking they are going to lose. In this case at least, if Russia does achieve their goal, being temporarily beholden to Chinese' financial system fo

Shouldn't you be able to open CNY account in a HK bank?

Inflation is 7%, and interest for money market fund is 0.01%. Meanwhile in China, inflation is less than 1.5%, interest for money market fund is 2.4%. You earn risk-free 0.9% if you hold them in CNY. You lose 7% if you hold them in USD. You

That's only going to matter if they are buying outside stuff (like Oil). It does not matter to domestic market.

Are you serious? Dollar is free floating as there is no central bank deciding monetary policy? Who's printing all the money, and buying in the stock market, and have us witness the 7% inflation? Chinese Yuan is only different in a sens

You do realize if you use credit or debit card, your banks gonna know, so therefore your government? Let's not pretend using WeChat/Alipay is somehow better or worse for that matter.

Jack Ma is very much a entrepreneur for what he's achieved. Oligarch carries to much negative connotation and should be referred to someone or a family who controls a crucial industry because of sheer monopoly.

I wouldn't say it's just an account. You can do offline exchange much in the similar way to a paper currency. Those accounts are still annoymous to both parties in transaction, not to the central bank. I would say it's much m

this probably sounds more like a joke, but we could say the whole tech industry only exist because of the ageism in almost all other industries.

by beaunative 5y ago
I really don't think this is the kind of ageism we are suppose to fight. You need to convince people with your past projects, sadly that's a thing for an experienced hire. Fresh graduates from not so fancy engineering school are n

well, i'd say that's capitalism.

I think the whole fiasco about labor regulation is as misinformed as most other issues about other countries are presented in the US. China's labor protection isn't ideal. However, the US has its own share of failures when it come

This isn't poor logic, the whole climate and lack of factories is the U.S. problem. Those factories didn't magically disappear in the US, and reappear in China overnight or made the move on their own. This is the result of decisio

There isn't a government that don't allow free market at all or offer no public program at all, at least most aren't. Of course ideology isn't religion, but there are people treating it like one. Practiced within an ideo

clean is not a bad thing, and urine in public spaces is certainly dispicable. Generic discussion about control is pointless without taking accounts of specific measures and situations.

sustainablity doesn't mean independece of outside economy, it looks weird in SG case, but it's how sustainability is measured across the world, the ability to keep existing econologically rather than economically even though it re

I think it's absurd we are still talking politics based on ideology, as if it's some religion. It isn't, and it shouldn't be. Most of the countries in the world today have some government-subsidized program, and also hav

I can sort of understand where it might come from, but with that one example it is difficult to comprehend exactly what it's like.

I guess if it comes to that, I would say the only reason home ownership is measured in such a way and thus a meaningful metric, as a percentage of the population rather total number of units which sounds silly already, is to measure the eas
