I think the equivalent would be if New York Times is somehow owned by Tencent and given that the Chinese government uses golden shares to control private companies. In that case, I think it's fair game to force NYT to divest or force t

I have a MBA 16GB and everything is fine until I use Docker. It's under constant memory pressure and I was looking into getting a 32/64GB Macbook Pro 14 M1 Pro max. But really dreaded the additional weight/size of the laptop

I have heard this many times from many different people that I respect. However, I'm just not experiencing "the joy" after several attempts. Maybe it's just not how my brain is wired. It's probably not helping that

I think you are one hundred percent correct :) But I can see it being useful if the idea is translated to NLP -> regex a GPT3 to regex would be awesome

Serious question: How does one get educated about modern China? (I'm Chinese but mostly Western educated) Having seen my grandparents/parents/relatives escaping communist China and now my generation escaping HK, it has heavil

It's mostly CCP propaganda though if you actually talk to HK people and see how the majority of them tried to work within the system to "make the change" since the early 90s and fight for what was promised in the Basic Law[1]

This seems to be the pattern. Obviously, when managing a country of 1.4 billion people, it is a major challenge to get every single directive in a precise and timely manner. Many of these directives need to be carried out by regular citizen

I think there's a lot of confusion between opposing the CCP and racism against Chinese. I'm Chinese as well. I think we can fight for more Chinese roles in films, politicians, scientists, CEOs, more representation in all fields. H

The CCP might look stronger than it actually is. Due to the restricted flow of information, a lot of the conflicts are not well publicized. If the CCP were to collapse, it'd be from the inside. Xinjiang, Tibet, Taiwan always wanted ind

Apple last quarter generated 16% of their revenue in China. They've also cooperated with the HK/Chinese governments to pull police tracking apps[1] and VPN apps[2] from the App Store. I'd say even if they relocate 100% of the

It's about control. The CCP sees religion as a threat because it challenges the party's atheistic view. The underlying issue is the rejection of a pluralistic society which religion is a part of it as well as language, way of life

One of the traps that the CCP like to employ is to compare their own policies to other countries. The key difference is that most of the comparisons are towards democratic countries with judicial independence which makes the whole thing irr

Comparing Apple blocking apps might not be entirely accurate in this case because, the local law might require Zoom to supply data that identifies the attendees to CCP. This could lead to the loss of lives and/or imprisonment. eg Chen
