    Watching the video, it's not really clear how this game is substantially different than a normal mobile game. What is the actual mechanism here for treating ADHD?

    You definitely won't see anything like this in the US: https://www.businessinsider.com/china-tells-evergrande-found... Like in 2008, bankers made a killing selling toxic products a…

    There is clear intellectual interest in comparing and contrasting why certain events receive outsized attention compared to objective outcomes (e.g. number of casualties).

    I just want to add my $0.02 currently working at a games studio that is integrating AI generated art into our art pipelines. Midjourney definitely generates really high quality art…

    Although smart contract audits are pretty much security theatre where the auditor charges $10k-$30k to run your code through a program, rug pulls are way more common just through s…

    Although a flashloan was used in this exploit, that's just a tool to leverage a fundamental flaw in the protocol. Flash loans clearly do more harm than good, so it's completely irr…

    How many PMs does Core have compared to other PAs? The problem isn’t really with SWEs but with the entire incentive structure of PMs and the product management chain. They in turn …

    It's interesting how one can simultaneously think China is "war mongering" while at the same time see nothing wrong with advocating starting a war immediately.

    This racist superiority complex is the pride before the fall. What exactly is TikTok's recommendation algorithms or Huawei's 5G technology cloning?

    If the US didn't pay 3-4x the salary for software engineers compared to Canada, I wouldn't be here either. If China paid me more, I'd move in a heartbeat.

    It's unbelievable how effective the west's disinformation, FUD and propaganda, lead by the US, against China has been. It's pretty much on par with the narrative leading up the the…

    Even in this thread, you can see more of the same insecurities. I personally think the Kübler-Ross model of grief is a surprisingly accurate model of this phenomenon. In general, I…

    Even based on such a short comment, you seem to have some serious problems with internalized racism. You clearly seem to think that being westernized is somehow better, and it's a …

    I don't say this often, but this is straight up racism. You're painting an enormous group of people with a lazy and ignorant stereotype.

    It's actually extremely easy to create new words using Chinese characters. You simply put existing characters together. To use some computing related terms for example: mobile phon…

    I agree with you. The author even admits right off the bad that he failed to learn the language. I don't understand the mindset of someone who would write an article critiquing Chi…

    Lower-priced but "lower-quality" is one of the quintessential properties of a disruptive technology. You can probably apply this to all electronics manufacturing, from smart phones…

    China doesn't want to end up like Europe, which has no major Internet companies of its own on the same level as Google or Facebook. There has been immense political consequences an…

    Yeah, just look at the trade deficit: https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c5700.html Unless China is just giving the US manufactured goods for free, that money has to be b…

    There are even more American kids with the same amount of money. You just don't notice the international students who come from modest means.

    There is diversity and then there's "diversity". This is ultimately a Americentric political movement. You only see American demographics as targets, ignoring the vast number of im…

    How sure are you about that? Most "white" people don't actually fully integrate to the culture, despite marrying and raising kids. Take a look at this video about a Chinese village…

    You can literally apply this same logic to any form of discrimination: Paid less because of your gender? What good does complaining do? I suggest you work harder. Injustly stripped…
