basically, that is the question of wealth distribution. All the wealth created by these AI companies should be distributed to people so that they will have money to buy products from these companies. This can range from more taxes, UBI, or like Marx said: seize the means of productions (basically nationalize all these AI companies and share the profits to everyone)

It is not charity, these are to protect the US against these diseases. Do you think it will stay there and will not come to US shore?

You have underestimated the soft power that US has by being the leader of the world. Now with more isolationism, things will change and that soft power will deteriorize over time. Who knows what will come next but definitely the US cannot project its soft power like before.

Kudos to your reference to Blade Runner

1000m2 is not a square kilometer (1 square kilometer is 1mil m2)

Vietnam does not follow common law (i.e. case law) , it follows civil law (same as other Europe and Asia countries)

Historic in standard dictionaries (Oxford, Webster) has the h pronounced (IPA: /hiˈstôrik/ ) so we must use A instead of An.

It is different for some other words start with h, for example hour (IPA: /ˈou(ə)r/) that the h is silent and it starts with the vowel sound, so we should use an hour.

This is not just EEZ claim. This is actually territorial water claim which is even crazier.

It is a chicken and egg problem. When you have no COVID cases, the risk of taking a vaccine for older people (its side effect) may outweigh the benefits. However, once it cannot contain COVID cases anymore, the benefits/costs calculation will change drastically and they cannot get vaccinated fast enough then. It is a dilemma that the China government needs to resolve, there is no way they can continue with this zero COVID policy forever.

I thought Ancient Greek was the 2nd most common language for people to learn after Latin if they want to understand the era.

Note: to make it clear as I have commented in the other thread, I believe that people should speak English in a discussion that involves people that don't speak the language(meeting, discussion that involved other people). However, they should be free to speak their own language if they want to communicate to each other in a private setting.

You are talking from only 1 perspective. Have you ever try to understand from the other side why they speak their own language?

I have been in both situation (people speaking a language I don't understand and I speak to other people in a language I don't understand) and almost 99.99% of the time it is not about YOU in the conversation. They speak their language mainly out of convenient. They can communicate/connect more easily with their peers speaking their mother tongue. Of course, there should be some courtesy apply here: don't speak too loud, make a lot of noise. But I guess it applies the same when you speak the common language. If they really need your input, they will switch to English and ask you to join the conversation.

> If you are "out of range", or in another room, then by all means, go nuts. Speak Elvish or even Klingon if that's your fancy.

So you are saying that speaking another language in public is forbidden? How inclusive is that of you? It is like British school in 19th and 20th centuries banning children from speaking their mother tongue in school. Does that sound good to you?

> when others will start assuming the worst about your conversations, than that'll be your fault. And you don't want other people to speak their own languages to their peers just because of your insecurity?

>not HR—which sooner or later is going to be brought into the conversation... Do you have any cases where HR involves in this? I really want to know how it goes.

Do you expect to be part of every conversation that you eavesdrop in the office?

If they speak another language in the office but not with you (you are not part of their conversation), why is it rude? It is like a different channel where you will be less distracted by eavesdropping people.

> If you are, then personally I think it is really bad form for the other team members to be speaking in a foreign language when the native English speaker is present.

It depends, if it is in a meeting, they should use a common language that everyone understands (English). However, if they are just talking to each other in the office WITHOUT talking to you, they can use whatever language that is comfortable to them. You are not part of the conversation.

I think the problem here only is that why the person in a FAANG company cannot communicate in English when needed.

> Is Ukraine worth the risk?

It is not only Ukraine that is at stake here. Putin will not stop at Ukraine if we give in. Next he will try with a NATO member (e.g. Baltic countries), if we repeat the same fear about ww3 and nuclear war, it is the same situation as of now (except that Russia is stronger with Ukraine occupation).

I think people already explained above that Satoshi is just a pseudonym so there is nothing certain about the person’s gender.

It will start with Vietnam instead.

We have heard words like that before:

"That I love peace appears perhaps most clearly from my work: in that lies the difference between me and these war-mongers....And how many of these works will need ten or twenty years before they are completed! I have then good reason enough to wish for peace. But these agitators have no use for peace; since they create nothing for peace, they are not working for peace." - Adolf Hitler May 1, 1939

I think one of the reason is that you have the leverage when negotiating the salary that you expect because you can always walk away and continue with your current job.

The mortality rate is around 1% which is more than 10 times than flu. The hospitalization rate is 15% and the ICU rate is much bigger than flu. If you run out of ICU room, more people will die.

well the number of cases in China winding down because they lockdown the whole province of 60 million people and almost stopped all activities in other parts of China. Can US afford to do that for 1 month?

Like English spelling has any rules. There are a lot of irregularities with English spelling that students need to learn by heart how the word is spelled compared to how it is pronounced.

I guess you should put the /sarcasm/ tag so that people can understand your point.

Is the name "Tet" related to the Vietnamese New Year?

I would want to become a researcher in a theoretical field such as applied math, physics or economics.

What if someone wants to record a crime happening inside a cinema?

The problem is the telco data rate is too high. In Vietnam, we have $3 for unlimited access to 3G data/month (ofcourse the speed is slow). Why didn't some Telco companies jump into the Angolan market?

If China wants to do it, they will just block Telegram servers. Why bother to DDOS?
