I don't know, work never leaves my mind even when I'm not working

Perhaps after two months I will think differently :D

I appreciate the thought, life is a matter of choices

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 defin…

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 count…

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 …

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 misera…

I work 12 hour days no matter where I am :D

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 …

RIP, his book Delivering Happiness was such an inspiration early in my career

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 w…

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 corpor…

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 …

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 - especia…

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, …

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 d…

Funny thing is, I can't even visit blog.google from China

The same goes for washing machine: https://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_and_the_magic_washing... "What was the greatest invention of the industrial revolution? Hans Rosling makes…

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 lapto…

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 week…

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 …

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!
