Sounds like what humans do under pressure. One example came to my mind is VW’s diesel gate, which many say is a result of trying too hard to get into the US market and compete with hybrid in economy.

The non-max 18 Pro getting 17 Pro Max battery is quite a great leap, no? This is actually the most surprising announcement today, given how Duo was anticipated.

Yeah. Even the AirPods are expected to be pricier. This all seems a bit crazy to me.

I guess this mentality makes sense if your products’ failures may lead to actual people dying. And in VW’s case it’s the correct culture working as it is supposed to? My Toyota sometimes feels like it was designed by a lawyer. But I somewha

I have a Chuwi Lark Box from a few years ago. The volume less than my fist, it's great for doing occasional Windows stuff.

These EV makers will soon find out they have to set up a team to censor the stuff they can project.

My first visit to the Berkshire Hathaway website a few years ago literally changed my life. I was immediately attracted. I went to search Buffett and went down the rabbit hole of shareholder meetings clips and value investing and index inve

I've always thought that the American individualist/China familial is looking at things absolutely upside down. For the Chinese, the family mimics the tyrannical nature of the government (and/or the other way around). The key

Eastern culture seems too big a term. What do you think is cooperative in Chinese culture? The whole point of the Chinese imperial ruling system post-Qin is to make sure people don’t cooperate to secure the emperor’s rule. It worked wonders

Over the years it feels like Federighi’s pleasantness and enthusiasm in those fun videos just don’t translate into the work he oversees. The software mostly work fine but they don’t make me feel “aha” or “this is how it should be done” any

berkshirehathaway.com is a great text-only site, containing troves of buffett's letters with much wisdom. though the actual text mostly end up in pdf formats.

This has been said of the internet itself in China. But even with such heavy censorship, there seem to have been many more internet heavy weights in China than even Europe?

I don’t get how YouTube advertises. Because we use VPN in China, YouTube simply pushes ads in whatever local language my proxy server happens to be. Which baffles me quite a lot since even the most basic tracking and use history (I have two

That was a good film. I always remembered del Toro’s recommendation about bulling more lighted fields for kids. Chinese society could learn a lot about how gaming is actually not that addictive when you look deeper into the problem.

Maybe Yahoo owns TechCrunch. Perhaps they’re detecting access from China based on more than just IP address. Since Yahoo was grilled for handing over dissidents’ info to the Party they really went the extra mile to distance itself from Chin

I clicked open the link to find Yahoo has gone dark in China since 2021. Doesn’t work even with a VPN. I miss the good old days of the Web.

IIRC Chinese EV manufacturers on average lose like 9k USD per car sold.

It won’t work. Just look at the mess of Imperial units in the United States. And this is when the metric system is vastly more straightforward, simply better, and universally adopted. The English language? No way any standardization would w

So true. With so much advancement in phone tech I’m still not typing as fast as 15 years ago when phones had physical keyboards. Copy paste undo redo is unnecessarily clumsy. The list goes on.

Could be related to speed and asphalt and macadams. I travelled to Guangzhou a few months ago, the noise on the road is comparable to Beijing, despite having significantly higher proportion of EVs.

Despite being massively impressed by those EVs I can’t help but wonder what the end games will be for all these EV makers that are ALL losing money. Worldwide only BYD and TESLA are actually making a profit. And leaders of the market seem t

In reality the noise is mostly from tyres anyway. You don’t feel your neighborhood is actually quieter when most cars are EV. For me the really nice thing is kids that are barely taller than exhaust pipes or being carted are exposed to abso

It seems this is a mainland China study. “Eye exercises” here has a particular form, which is called 眼保健操. IIRC it was developed during the cultural revolution based on traditional Chinese medicine. In short, the conclusion is that this par

I don’t get how personal cars can be rented out to reduce idle time and maximize utilization. By the same logic we should be making our homes ultrashort WeWork spaces while we travel or go to work. Cars are somewhat like an extension of our

If Kant wrote his philosophy in this friendly prose he'd be an even greater philosopher now, most importantly he would be actually read by philosophers and students.

Ice Wife reminds me of Chinese migrant workers who form similar relationships on construction sites during development projects. Looks like this phenomenon is cross culture.

At this point wouldn’t it be easier to artificially select for traits that make the chicken mind more tolerant of poor conditions? Like if we can have consciousless chicken then it wouldn’t matter the condition they grow under?

It weird so many young people do most of their work on iPhone, including producing videos, photos, and text. Yet when it comes to iPads most people don't want to touch it for work.
