I can say many things, but most people here will not believe me. I'd say just watch China do the 'impossible'. Then some self reflection should be in order.

yep. the word they use is probably 克制 or self-restraint. no need to raise so much cash if you can't use it. in his article he talks about the negative aspects of getting everything you want. (all the money, brightest minds, biggest sha

as a lifelong chopstick user, this article is for one of those fault finding crazies. hold the chopstick however you like. so long as you don’t drop things unintentionally it’s fine.

the lesson to learn is - don't let the conversation die off. think of all the weird scenarios that wouldn't make google sheets work. e.g. no access to internet (or at least VPN access via completely locked down devices) / int

if something doesn’t exist in this world, no amount of money will guarantee that you will get it. if it exists in abundance like the air that we breathe no amount of conspiracy will be able to monopolize it. finance only works in a very nar

employers that demand long hours do so because they have no other way to appraise employee ability. they cannot judge a brilliant insight from a slacker that would have saved thousands of man-hours rushing the wrong way. do you really want

I have purposely omitted the specifics as I also have given up trying to convince others interested in my worthwhile problem. If interests align, we will naturally meet. I usually tell them it is more important that they should take some ti

I was like the author of the article, then I realized that I was solving problems that were created by other peoples' incompetence. Sure they were challenging, fun but they didn't bring anything postive overall. The incompetent pe

I’m from the self-replicating self-reconfigurable systems side. The problem with this is not about making the machines but the human intervention to make use of them effectively. You really need end-to-end automation to solve this. If i don

There are two parts to education. One is to impart knowledge, the other is to filter the students.

If you don't allow them to publish research work, your greatest talents will leave. I used to work in such a restrictive environment. Nobody worth their salt stayed long.

That's not strange. There are many people who can ace exams but are not competent in applying it in their workplace.

This book is not for you. Teaching others how to replicate solutions is very different from guiding people how to solve yet unsolved problems in the field. This book is for the latter. For the former, you might want to look out for one in t

money isn't a map. it's a form of risk/benefit management. and USD is managed very differently from RMB. why introduce capitalism and communism? it's like trying to use religious texts to explain astrophysics. just use s

There is an open standard - USB PD - 48V 240W. If that's not enough (e.g. boiling water for coffee) you can always chain a few in parallel. You don't really want to restrict yourself to just changing batteries because chemistries
