When I hear about technological prowess, I am expecting things like rockets that land on barges, self driving cars, and even block chains. Not web apps and mobile apps. Most of Chinese people share the same opinion. There are huge resourc

Dropbox vs OneDrive or Google Drive could be a better example here.

Two features of LEAN won me over are : 1) LEAN supports finer data such as minutes, seconds, and ticks. 2) LEAN was developed in C#, which is way faster than Python.

If you're serious into retail algotrading, IB (Interactive Brokers) is the best broker you can get.

For backtesting intraday trades, LEAN from QuantConnect is a better alternative.

This reminds me a scene of the wonderful AniMatrix clips. Here is what I recalled (may not be exactly accurate): Escaped robots established their own country in remote area and started to export products for natural resources. Since robots

Yeah, DJI would be a better choice, if you are in the market for a drone.

I used to be bullish on Xiaomi. Not any more. They seem to get into any hot sectors very quickly, but never manage to grab a big piece of pie and keep it. I wonder if Xiaomi has spreaded itself too thin.

Thanks for the nice words. That's why hackernews is the forum I frequent most, since we can have discussions over almost every imaginable topics in an intelligent and decent manner. Even it is as political and ideological as this one.

Thanks for the nice words. Speaking with an accent and writing not as fluent as native English speakers used to make myself frustrated a lot. I got used to it a while ago. Though debating political or historical topics like this one is stil

Um, not a native English speaker here. Though as long as I can articulate my thoughts to have a meaningful discussion, I don't think that's being an issue. I would rather you focus on the topic and contribute your thoughts or coun

Appreciated for your comments. Though statistically that is not very convincing: the ingredients of capitalism, i.e., market economy and democracy would lead to prosperity. We have more than two hundreds of countries on this globe, the most

I know communism left a big scar on you, which is totally understandable. The Romanian Communist government was a puppet one imposed by Stalin's Red Army, which has no legitimacy anyway. That is not the case for China. The Chinese Comm

Very spot-on post. I don't have any facts or numbers though. But my gut feelings is that the percentage of people that survive the scarcity (China) or overabundance (West) are comparable.

I've heard lots of good stories on Vert.x and was planning to give it a try. This news makes me wonder if there's is something happening in the project.

I would use it for personal projects at home. Just for fun. Though I would envision there might be a niche market for affordable Spark clusters as appliances, say, one 1U box that contains 20 boards with total 160cores, 160GB memory, etc an

Wish there is an affordable ARM SOC board for building DIY Spark clusters, which has a 64bit CPU, 8 cores, gigabit ethernet, SATA, USB3, and 4GB memory (8GB memory would be even better), and under $100. Spec-wise, Odroid xu4 [1] from Hardke

To be fair, there is a positive side of China being the "World's Factory". For example, without the inexpensive components from Chinese factories, Wind/Solar Power won't be as affordable as now. Also I suspect witho
