Pingyin doesn't not only help me learn Chinese, but also learn English's pronunciation later in life. It's not one-to-one match but close enough. Bopomofo predates Pingyin and did …

This is amazing. Money doesn't make us live longer, but does $45 billion help bring the future sooner? I bet it does. It will widen our horizons on what's possible. Everyone on ear…

Yes, I remembered it was weird childish sound in Chinese. Sounds like a duck.

I remember seeing this when I grew up in China (translated into Chinese). Last time I saw this film was 30 years ago. Thank you so much for sharing.

Different generation consumes news differently. I am the "newspapers" generation, but I found BI useful. If it is clickbait, I just skip it. The UI/UX makes easy to skip things you…

It is tricky. The expected value is mathematics term people invented for easy calculation. It is different from the "value" in human perception. How much is a $1 lottery ticket wor…

This is a great article. Great writing! Software eats the world, or it may not. I don't think most of startups are doing what they do to realize that goal. All they do is to solve …

I don't think there is ET. The probability that atoms fuse together to construct a organism that is capable of turning sun into bio-energy and multiplying itself just by chance is …

The question comes down to how you evaluate things. Are the growth rate and money the only measures here? God doesn't favorite China. Looking at its past 100 years, huge political …

Thank you for answering my question. I think I now get a sense of thinking using tactile representation. I can imagine it is incredible hard to work on things that don't have 1-to-…

Thank you so much for your insightful post and prospective. I have a question on how you imagine/think. People with eye sigh often think with pictures. Even thinking about abstract…

That's great new! Going to grocery store is such a pain. Instacart delivers you to the grocery store and bring you back after you've done shopping.

I didn't notice it until you mentioned it. I didn't feel cheated though since I got good amount of info from the article and was curious about how Aerospike did it. I wish all ads …

A big topic can be easily broken down to small chucks. It's just easier to consume that way. I don't think they really took time to condense the content to focus on the essentials.…

Does unique throw-away card number really reduce fraud? If so, can't Visa/Mastercard implement them too?

You got a point. We will see one team on full attack which is not always the case when both team are cautious. but thinking about it now, it is not necessary interesting football t…
