Same here, there is systematic and institutionalized racism in Hollywood, I'm glad China is making their moves in Hollywood, maybe we will see more Korean and Chinese celebrities appearing in these films.

Interesting since the first Japanese male actor was a sensation amongst white women of the early 1900s silent film era, and thus Asian Americans were erased from mainstream films.

The more I study American history, the Japanese interment camps, the racist treatment of Asian Americans, the genocide against 50+ million Native Americans, Opium war, Boxer rebellion, vietnam war, hiroshima, the more I'm convinced that Nazi's escaped and helped build the Reich that they could've had in a far away new land.

Funny you say that about HN, for a lot of us veterans on HN, we argue the exact same thing happened to HN.

HN today has deteriorated, what used to be a liberal and open minded place to explore new ideas, it has become a self promoting (especially if you are YC fam) to a large degree, and heavy policing.

With the rise of cryptocurrency I saw a lot more shill accounts manipulating comments and such.

So many of us have left HN, maybe there's something like HN out there?

This is just sick. How the fuck do these priests live with themselves?

not sure why your comment was also downvoted.

it seems that anything that points to a reality that doesn't paint China favorably are downvoted instantly here and reddit.

given SV's willingness to take Chinese money, I'm not surprised if see winnie the pooh banned on HN.

this is HUGE. here's why:

You and I are reading about two separate entities, as if we are talking about Pepsi Inc. vs Apple Inc., but alas China is simply not America.

edit: care to explain the downvotes? why is it anything I post on HN are automatically downvoted and flagged? It's so weird, right after I commented on that Israeli-spy thread too.

I tried freelancing for a while but it really didn't make economic sense.

there are so many other ways to make money that unless you absolutely enjoy getting reamed by scope creeps and coding, freelancing is definitely not it.

Given, there's not much an engineer can do.

Never heard of Brave until now and never going to use it in the future.

getting paid for integration?

1) create a popular open source product

2) give it away, building market share and awareness

3) shake down corporations making money from your open source product in the form of "licensing & maintenance agreement*

4) Trickle down effect on non corporate users who in turn feed back into the loop by performing QA and community support.

I personally believe this is the future of software, at least someone who is competing against VC funded proprietary entities looking to IPO and not really give a shit about the product that brought them in a position to raise money.

What do you guys think? This is just my opinion of course downsides to this model.

One major downside of openin the doors to everybody is you get a ton of noises. People who shouldn't be using it complaining and it's always tricky to manage, especially when people feel entitled to it as it is free.

An argument to this noise is that any noise is better than no noise, meaning any type of engagement good or bad is considered a plus for the app, to discover new shit

This. It's all about supply and demand, stuffing keywords to game the SERP is a short term tactic.

If you have content that people dig, Google will automatically send you more traffic.

If you have mediocre run of the mill startup content blog, you are shit out of luck because you are doing the same thing everyone else who failed is doing

I went over there to check and wow

Found a picture of Mao Zedong with someone's cum all over it. I'm dead serious.

where can the rest of us go? obviously not happy with this decision but voat.co is just so bad and alt-right crowd moved there.

I wouldn't say there's anti-Chinese sentiments that is unwarranted.

China is actively stealing from advanced technology holding countries. Whataboutism is a common way to justify the behavior, which further inflmmates and even conjures up the good old sinophobia.

I think that much of what you read as anti-Chinese content is simply anything that describes a future without China as a hegemony.

China faces a huge risk of fragmenting like the USSR did, from which it would never fully recover.

but given the iron grip of the government and the military it is far more likely we will see China slip into a authoritarian state much like Putin's Russia or North Korea.

I think instead a far more likely candidate that could possibly challenge the US hegemony is a sort of EURO-ASIA partnership, where European countries would compete for highly educated workforces. Culture might be a barrier, but I feel that Japanese and Koreans work well with Europeans.

So it would be a China exclusive economic coalition that would pose a challenge to the US, if they do not move away from their current trajectory.

Russia will 100% fragment in the next 5 years, as they are literally on their last reserves and China is also not far off because their debt is staggering, not unlike the Japanese real estate bubble crisis.

Again my prediction is the US hegemony is unlikely to be challenged by a sole country superpower, but rather economically and technological coalition of outside countries that can pose a challenge (basically US vs the rest of the world which is even unlikely....as the US has port calls all over the world).

If China is to replace US, it needs to start building those nuclear carriers fast and well, something which is an impossibility at this current rate.

So something is dangerous and people are going to do it anyway so they legalize it and try to make it safer instead of criminalizing it. The US could learn from China on this one.

No there's nothing to be learned here because the US is a very different system. It consists of strong independent state level enforcement entities, it's a collection of individual states, each with an economy of the top 50 economies of the world.

While China has certainly grown like crazy, there, they have a very different system. Everything is centralized so all of the quotas, and inspections are accepted at the central state level. One which also faces challenge of obfusticating as much as possible actual numbers for various reasons: loss of face and the inability to get an accurate gauge within your own country.

So anytime you read a piece of a news out of China, realize what I mentioned above, there are no independent investigative bodies that are able to challenge each other, much like you have individual states, in China the government has final say and the entire judicial system is built to jail, execute anyone the system deems a threat.

It wouldn't be surprising to read about articles in the future about more health complications from eating these farmed pufferfish-as the world recalls, China doesn't exactly instill confidence in their healthcare system when they poison their own citizen's children with HIV.

Not saying everything about China is bad but most of it is quite below the standard of what UN defines as adequate for human rights to exist.

So there's no lesson here imho, and these type of China #1 threads from throwaway accounts we are seeing more and more recently annoys me.

HN has turned into fucking reddit.

i dont get it...what is the hidden connection exactly?

Well I'm east Asian so I wont stick out like a white person. But no, you wont have any hard time. Whether you will be accepted as Japanese is another story.

Somebody downvoted you it seems. I think somebody maybe downvoting all my comments

Edit: seriously? Who hurt you

Ok....

Hey so the bloody knife is on its way via ups. Just hold it for a while, dont worry its animal blood. Dont worry...

Definitely as real as mukbang.

멍 때린다. Im zoning out. Translitterally, to be in a state of stupor.

I think amazon has reached the tip. So many side projects that lay there abandoned because if im not setting up my own vpc subnets and gateways manually i feel defiled and ashamed.

This is what amazon has successfully done, raised the cognitive sunk cost so fucking high you need to pay for their bs certificqtion i didnt even study but somehow passed even aftwr arriving to the exam 30 min late because the city of vancouver are such fucking master extortionist of parking tickets and somehow everybody has decided to park...i digress

Tldr use do or linode....dont soend decade on aws and realize the greatest devil the trick pulled is that he dont exist well lemmme tell u friends unshackle yourseles fromm aws and use netlify

Not so fast there, you need the associate certification. If younforget to bring your id and basically flush a cool few hundred american

THIS. I gound out the hard way. Im back on linode.

You realize now the power of branding, cult personality, marketing, get foreign cops to beat foreign workers at warehouse....sure is hel--i shit you not my book atrived from Amazon.ca

Hustle porn is now live and real time!

lol

after it gets used by the Adult film industry.

We have millions of pornography to train BigGAN.

on a side note: GAN means "FUCK" in mandarin.

that's a poor argument. Your conclusion doesn't have any evidence or examples to back up a counter to this article.

One conveniently forgets Japan's lost decade after a very similar credit bubble pop.

China is not the US. Japan is not the US.

US is US. There are no equals.

edit: What evidence do you have to counter the trillion dollars of debt that China has been accumulating? How is this not different from Japan's credit bubble of the late 80s that subsequently led to a 20 year stagnation?

We seem to have a very different definition of what a credit bubble is, you seem to completely ignore the huge amount of credit lent out to state owned assets, banks which in turn have extended credit to allow massive speculation on real estate? How do you account for the ghost cities where speculation has made prices out of touch with reality? Are these not tall tale signs that there is something much more startling being covered up? Which government has a history of fiddling with numbers and refuse to allow international audits? Who believes that China will surpass the USA? Apparently a lot of people believed Japan will surpass the USA shortly before the credit bubble popped. You are doing a poor job of arguing that this isn't another credit bubble.

this is pretty cool way to learn. I learned English by memorizing Bambi as a kid.

My only complaint is that the Spanish AI lady seems to have suffered a stroke, see below:

helps to flag if you find shady submissions

but the frequency of reputable backlinks are perfectly suitable variable to rank a website's importance and relevance, and Google obvious knows how to discern garbage backlinks vs legitimate ones.

For instance, a certain startup I worked for in the past used a military blog seemingly belonging to a web of Eastern European entities to link to our company website and the CEO advertised it on linkedin....it was pretty fucking embarassing tbh but it was oviously for gaining SEO juice. It worked for a while but now when I search for the same keyword I don't see it in the SERPs.

It seems like Twitter is in serious trouble and Facebook is going for the kill. Hootsuite, a Vancouver micro-unicorn, a word I just coined right here and right now. Micro-unicorns are almost billion dollar companies specifically for selling to FANG. built upon Twitter, social media platforms, has recently been seen in the local news (, seems to be in trouble as well.
