It's not a permanent lockdown... just for a few weeks (so far)

Absolutely, I don't represent everyone. I'm sure there are people losing their income because they cannot go to work. The government - which has enforced the lockdown, should definitely do a better job in caring for the individual

There are definitely lots of complains: the consequences on the economy, not able to travel, etc. On a personal level everyone is affected, but is the lockdown worth it? On a country level I think it's understandable. Shanghai is a cit

I don't have the big picture data but all the people I know (locals and expats) have been vaccinated. China and the Western world are taking different approaches to COVID, I don't believe in anything said from either side, there i

Schools are closed, and for good reasons. If I'm the parent I wouldn't want my kids to get COVID. The gospel of online education may be coming true? Jokes aside, it's not as miserable as many people may think.

I'm in the lockdown in Shanghai, feel free to ask me any questions. Things you read on the internet is mostly true (but may be exaggerated): Life: Yes we can only buy food through WeChat groups to organise wholesale deliveries (2000 eg

I have worked in many overseas development projects run by Chinese companies. It's not that the Chinese companies only want to hire their own workers, but the fact that the local workforce do not have the skill/equipment/capi

I like this idea for its simplicity, a commercial problem with negative externality to the public can generally be solved with taxation.

If a cartoon character is still in commercial use and being further developed, I'm not sure if it's good practice to turn it into public domain. I don't think there had been corporations/artists that have had the longevi

Good point. I'm not familiar with the American copyright law, but you're right, nowadays in most countries even if a piece of art is sold to another person, the artist still holds the copyright (the right to make copies) unless co

I work in the realm of public art projects and thus have collaborated with a lot of artists, mostly painters and sculpters. I must say the success of any piece of artwork - especially the ones created with the public in mind - is not the wo

There is I think a broader legal/philosophical question here: Are we to judge the car's ability to avoid the pedestrian on human standards or AI/machine standards? From the video, it looked like this could be a situation wher

What an ingenius way to combine two seemingly 'harmless' datasets to reveal powerful insights! I'm sure there are many other possible/potential ways to combine publicly available data, hmmm...

Since I swithced to Surface earlier this year I haven't looked back. True, Surface is not as good as Macbook but it does the job and is much lighter to carry around as a full laptop (iPad is not a full laptop). Now with Surface Studio

Thanks for sharing! And good to know there're fellow programming learners out there sharing my pain/passion. This looks like what I was looking for. Will give it a go over the weekend!

Yes I've done a number of these challenges, agree it's really good and would recommend to others. However this is still quite mathematical/text-book like (in a challenging and fun way though).

This looks cool! Will give it a go over the weekend. Thanks for sharing!

This still seems more mathematical/text-book like than practical examples, reminds me of https://projecteuler.net/ which is fun to do. Thanks for sharing!

Problem is what I want to build is far more complex than what I can build right now, need to take baby steps ;)

Ever since completing the Codeacademy Python course, I've been looking for simple but practical python projects that can help me learn to apply my skills. But so far the projects I found have been either too difficult or too simple (te

The idea of a P2P backup solution is interesting, more so if you can hook up strangers into a massive backup network. Of course, the challenge is to make sure the peers are online when you need the files, and for this reason the network may
