China is Taiwan's largest trading partner. 42% of Taiwan exports go to China and Hong Kong. 22% of Taiwan imports are from China. Around 200,000 to 400,000 Taiwanese work in China. China doesn't need to militarily invade Taiwan

Absolutely. After covid, people are craving physical contact and outdoor activities. Travel and tourism is trending up. This idea that people want to put on a headset and stay indoors, netflix and chill or whatever is not happening. May

I agree. I get motion sickness from playing FPS games. The symptoms improve, but it takes a while to adjust. Some people have no problem with it, whereas for some it is completely impossible to overcome. It's hard for me to see bro

I would argue that the typical reader at hacker news is not the target audience for iPad. Think young children and grandparents. My elderly mother loves her ipads. She has three of them. She can watch youtube on them, check email, chat a

Amazon lost money every quarter as well for years. There is a huge market in government and defense IT globally that Palantir could potentially tap into. Historically, it's been IBM's gig, but that could change very quickly.

Same here. I also visited the Jewish quarter and it was absolutely empty. There was also a painting nearby that depicted how it was centuries ago, filled with people, mothers, and children. Astonishing that it is completely deserted now.

I’ve bought both the brand name and cheaper knockoff Oral-B electric toothbrush heads. Haven’t been able to distinguish them yet in terms of quality and performance. YMMV.

A brief search shows that mitochondrial transplantation for myocardial infarction was described in 2008. Astonishing work. This is starting to become more mainstream in the last couple of years. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2

Look through the typical house in Europe or practically anywhere else in the world. Note how many things are made in China - clothing, TV, furniture, appliances, etc. All that money has to go somewhere. Ideally, it would flow back into t

The ad was terrible. It explained how Candy Japan works. I don't care how Candy Japan works. I want the why should I buy Candy Japan. It should have focused instead on the candies that you can get. Delicious, weird, unique candies

1. Reddit. Seriously. Pictures of cats get upvoted way beyond their "technical merit". 2. A pair of shoes with storage sounds like a great idea. I believe she described how hard it is for women to find storage space when they d

Well, Tesla has that whole change out the entire battery in a few minutes thing going. There's also research into superchargers and capacitors that work like batteries. There's also the change in behavior and expectations. Peop

In Germany, tuition is nearly free or minimal, especially compared to US. With the strong social net, I feel people can do almost anything they want there, depending in some part on their social status and ambitions, but they will neither

With Uber, Lyft, and other ride-sharing services, I would say there is more employed in the "move people from A to B" business now than ever before. The mobile apps increased the supply of drivers and captured the market demand f

That may be the case for some, but for some others I've met in similar situations in developing countries, they were happy and felt proud to be supporting their families. I didn't feel like their primary motivation was fear. Not

I agree with you. But I think the touch pad is a harbinger of things to come. The eventual goal is probably a touch pad keyboard, one that reconfigures depending on the circumstances. It might even be like the Star Trek NG consoles event

If Trump had been a normal candidate, he would have beat Clinton. No tawdry sex scandals, crazy public fights with Ms Universe, gold star parents, leading members of his own party. If he had raised money on the same scale as Romney or estab
