The university never made such claim. What evidence do you have? You should not throw "racist", "pseudoscience" around like this.

This stupid article should be simply flagged. There is no good discussion can come out of it.

The title is not accurate. It's better to be called seven ideological threats. Number 6 and 7 are not "western values". Especially number 7 is targeted on far-left. What the CCP really wants is keeping the market economy while maintaining its authoritarian rulings, i.e. money and power.

The last word of the first sentence attracted downvoting?

> It scared the kids into thinking the planet will melt.

How is this a good thing? I don't get it.

Really? I feel selling stuff on ebay has a 1/5 chance get scammed.

No. Mainstream journalists never pick a side or intend to influence the outcome of the election. At least not pick the wrong side.

It's true that ISPs may have fewer issues, but there are just too few of them. On the other hand, there are way more "pro net neutrality" companies and net neutrality is not the least important issue for them.

$200,000 is a very small amount of money in grassroot crowdfunding.

Against net neutrality is not "an extremely narrow point of view".

If it is really just because of money, why can't companies supporting net neutrality donate to him and other senators to get the law passed in the Senate? There are way more companies can do this than a few ISPs, and they have tons of money. Your simplistic view does not hold water.

There is no reason to believe this small amount of money is the explanation of his position.

If the developed countries really want to attract more talents, there is better way to specifically targeted on those individuals. Asylum is not for this purpose.

It also depends on the type of work. If you work on data analytics projects, you probably will need more screen space to fit: code, console / logs, plots, data frame. If you work on web / mobile development, you probably will need less screen space to fit: code, web browser / mobile simulator.

The problem with two monitor setup is that nothing can be at the center, things are always on either left or right side. Ultrawide is great but I hope there can be something wider than 21:9.

We are talking about Canada, not the world. Also 3 years, not 30 years.

Also the poverty line here is totally different.

The number is simply too good to be true. Reduce poverty rate by 20% in 3 years in Canada? So when will they totally eliminate poverty?

"there were 825,000 fewer Canadians living in poverty in 2017 than there were in 2015" from the official website. It's not the same as "Roughly 825,000 Canadians were lifted out of poverty in those years".

Also, it's ridiculous to claim this scale of change was caused by the program described in the article. It's almost certainly caused by some large scale economical or statistical reasons.

Interesting. How do those people think of jail time? Will arresting scare them away or change their behavior?

Is "Which bathroom should this person use" an easy question? If it is really easy, why it is so controversial? You may think it is an easy question, in reality it is an actual hard question.

How many conservatives do they have on the board? I feel viewpoint diversity should at least be close to nationwide percentage.

If your parents get old and sick, you have to go back to your home country to visit them more frequently. It is much better to have a green card. You don't want to worry about your visa, your job security, and your parents' health at the same time.

A) Parenting. You will mostly have no parenting on your own in China. Tech companies will make you work long hours. It is not uncommon that when you finished work and back home, your kid is already asleep. When you leave home early to catch the train, your kid is still asleep. It is not a joke but many Chinese young couples only see their kids during weekend, even they live together. You think leaving your kid to your parents 5 days per week is good? Noooooooooo

B) Medicare. Every time your kid gets fever: IV. Your parents just love it. They think it is the best. Chinese people love to have their kids get blood test, X-ray for just cough... Children's hospitals are crowded by (grand)parents and kids who simply have cold (see pictures and story http://www.sohu.com/a/212568582_407108). Most Chinese people (including educated middle class) do not understand get cold is not because of cold, it is because of virus.

C) Also everybody knows: the highly competitive education system is a huge burden on kids and parents. It is common to spend lots of money to purchase apartment at good school district (xue qu fang). And many parents do this for kids going to elementary school, middle school, high school... Middle class life is not easy.

I would like to add: Even if you are ethnically Chinese and speak the language, don't go back to China unless you really cannot find a decent job in the west.

Especially if you are young and educated in the west, here are the things to consider:

- It is not very hard to find a STEM job in the west, and the pay is good.

- Your parents are healthy now, not much to worry. It's better to get a green card before they get old.

- You may start a family soon. It is much much easier to raise a child in the west.

This guy's another comment:

Quote: I may be overly cynical but it seems to me that China is the most honest country involved in governmental mass surveillance. They never tried to hide the intent behind their decisions whereas western nations always bring up false pretenses to eat away at their people's rights and freedoms. The most pathetic of all being "terrorism". We're all headed in the same direction, it's just going to be achieved through different means.

For housing, would it make sense that an apartment complex inside a Chinese community targets ads on Chinese speakers, who are much more likely to live in there? Is this considered as discrimination based on color?

What if the landlord only speaks Chinese?

When will they produce an Ultra-wide (21:9) screen iMac?

I have lived in NYC for two years with 1 small kid. I know how painful it is. Many subway stations do not have an elevator, I had to carry the baby and stroller through stairs. Even with elevator, all elevators smell extremely bad. Would you call this "just fine"?

Where did you get the "just fine"? You read people's mind on a mass scale, Professor X?

How many? How do you know they are "just fine"? How do you know without a car wasn't "a huge pain" to your mother when you were 2 year old?

How do you know they are "just fine"? How do you know their feeling? Have you asked them?

Maybe you live in SF? Not every city always has good weather. Cargo bikes are useless for most cities because of weather (rain, snow, winter cold, summer hot). It's useful for fun when the weather is great, but not as a main way of transportation.

Yes. We can certainly survive without a car, but that life will be different. Uber & taxis are difficult when you have small kids, because it is much easier to have carseats installed in own car. Also it is much much easier for a family to go out for picnic, riding bicycles, swimming, or doing all sorts of outdoor activities.
