I couldn’t proof-read it but I appreciate your calculation and the spirit.

Life is irreversible. I’m curious to know what the plans are if lockdown ends asap.

On the other hand, I also feel that the commitments and policies in this society are more about protecting the elderly and their way of living (their wealth, single family homes, less sustainability, car-based city planning). Some may be debatable. But isn’t protecting each other part of humanity? I hope we are not in a stage where we have to decide which groups to sacrifice. If US is a still free country, is freedom-from-danger also a form of freedom as well?


We’re protecting things older people like by sacrificing the ability for younger people to live, that’s not really acceptable.


I wonder how many AMD equipped Macs are there in Apple’s lab and how they perform. I know there are hackintosh out there too but Apple please do some validations and let there be choices.


> Under the Dilbert principle, employees who were never competent are promoted to management to limit the damage they can do.

Interesting but how does promoting such employee limit the damage (instead of causing more damage to the team)?


So they overestimated what Quora really could be and burned way more money? Or is Google suffocating smaller tech companies?

Content curation doesn’t scale as well as search algorithms. It reminds me of Yahoo and other portals who relies on editorial staffs (not meant it in a bad way).


Belmont at least has some density and Main Street. Atherton’s density is 1/4 of Belmont’s and it occupied the very center of SV.

Atherton 1,438.97/sq mi (555.53/km2)

Belmont 5,843.98/sq mi (2,256.45/km2)

San Mateo 8,570.40/sq mi (3,309.14/km2)


Not hard to see what their real intent was.

When some have the freedom of protecting their private land, others end up with the freedom of riding diesel only, underfunded trains. The liberty of some seems greater than others’.


I wonder a bit though as advocating for diesels service seems a bit like they're shooting themselves in the foot, at least in terms of air quality.


> managed with laws

The OG Kowloon Walled City became itself because of lawlessness and self-sustaining. With law and regulation in place it’s hard to build anything close to it.


Call of Duty: Black Ops has an extensive session in Kowloon Walled City.


If they were simply a religion or practice with a mixed Taoism and Buddhism origin and a god-like figure. That’s nothing uncommon in the history of humanity.

It gets funnier to see when it protects its anti-China propaganda under the religious freedom in the West. There are plenty of people who consider Communist China evil. Again nothing wrong about that. But Falun Gong is a convenient political tool.

Maybe in practice it’s really hard to separate religions with politics. Mind control and story telling are the most powerful things that can be done to men.


This Bill could get unanimous consent this week again. S386 will boost fraud Indian IT outsourcing companies and give green cards to Indian workers. Green card applicants from other countries will be blocked for 10 years including British, Chinese, Iranian, Korean, Russian and etc. American workers will suffer too from lower wages and lack of workspace diversity. See #S386 on Twitter. Such a consequential bill should not be passed without public hearing.
