nshung··on Huawei Unveils Tau (τ) Scaling Law for Transistor and System Breakthroughs
I agree that it’s dozen of countries but they all operate under the same “power umbrella”. Arresting Huawei CFO by Canada. Banning ASML exports to Huawei by Netherlands. All by the requests of the USA which again is 100% controlled by Israel. I am simply stating the truth here despite the profanity of the language which I think you raised a fair point.

Which part of this was inappropriate? If you go to hn.algolia.com and search for Huawei, you will see how Huawei has been treated by the West. Take a look at this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18613124

No. Ethereum is a solution searching for a problem. Have you seen any widely used successful application developed using Ethereum?

If US actually bans export of DUV machine to China [1], it could be game over for SMIC though.

nshung··on As weed gets more potent, teens are getting sick
"I'm content in that my life is shitty in X or Y way, but cannot do anything about it".

What is “shitty” in this context?

Why not?
nshung··on As weed gets more potent, teens are getting sick
To me, a life that is in content and has meaning trumps all those whatever higher trajectory means. I mean.. isn’t achieving those higher trajectories the goal of being content and having achieve the meaning if it exits at all?
nshung··on Largest subreddit for Amazon workers has banned any mention of unions
I uninstalled the Reddit app recently after they have banned some subs I used to browse. It seems just a freaking arrogant attitude to me that you want to control what I browse.

How power-tripped could you become by being able to control an Internet forum?

nshung··on React Fundamentals: What I’m Learning
This. A lot of people get thrown into the top layer of the abstraction itself and then move down from there.

What instead should happens first is that these people should be shown the problems React or other frameworks for that matter are trying to solve. It is way more motivating to gradually move up the abstraction layer when learning.

Get the know the problem first and then find the solution to that problem. Not the other way around.

nshung··on Ask HN: I've been slacking off at Google for 6 years. How can I stop this?
This sounds exactly like my last job :P I wonder if software development tends to become like this in general after a certain amount of time?
nshung··on Ask HN: What Technologies to Learn in 2020?
SwiftUI. I think Apple will put a lot of effort into it to be on the same level with UIKit. SwiftUI makes developing UI easier because it is declarative just like React Native and it takes less time to build your typical CRUD app on the apple platform.
nshung··on Ask HN: How do you learn to play guitar?
Justin Guitar seems like a great resource. Thanks for sharing!
nshung··on Ask HN: How do you learn to play guitar?
My strategy right now is not to learn the next chord until I master the ones(A, E and D) which I am currently learning. Master here means to be able to play those thress chords each and move between them effortlessly. Seems like this will take some times.
nshung··on Norweigan oil fund
So much transparency is that, in Norway, you can look up the yearly income of anyone online on the government's website :)
nshung··on South Korea and Sweden are the most innovative countries in the world
I think the reason being that most people here do not share the same definition of what is innovative or not based on the factors weighted by these publications.

I guess it is because many people on HN own ether.
nshung··on Ask HN: How to succeed in tech as an introvert?
I don't agree that "software is no place for introverts". There are definitely many software engineers out there who are introverts. You just have to find an environment and team mates that are welcoming and accept you as who you are.

nshung··on Two Brothers Making Millions Off the Refugee Crisis in Scandinavia
Anti-refugee mood is on the surge in Norway. The government just appointed the previous agriculture minister from the far-right party as immigration minister and she recently proposes a slew of tough immigration rules, promised to be the strictest in Europe, for the newcomers.[1]

There are many Norwegians who hate these two guys in Norway :) Take a look at the comment section.[2]

nshung··on Welcome to America: Here's Your Linux Computer
"For digital inclusion and a more inclusive future" as the author states in the article, I am also leading this[1] project for kids in Myanmar/Burma who literally stuck in the civil war between Myanmar Army and local rebel forces.[2] We are just a bunch of volunteers(refugees) from Myanmar who have been relocated to Norway because of the civil war. With Raspberry Pi, we want people to have access to basic education and literacy even in a freaking civil war zone. Never give up!

nshung··on China’s New Silk Road: Implications for the US
Do not forget that China has already completed two massive pipelines(one gas and one oil) from western port of Myanmar to Kunming, Yunnan, China to bypass the Strait of Malacca and they are already fully operating.[1]

And for your conspiracy thirst, there has been massive shoutout internationally for people known as Rohingyas from Myanmar who face persecution, discrimination and pre-genocidal acts being committed by Myanmar government lately. And you know where Rohingyas people actually live in Myanmar? It is at the very start of the two Chinese pipelines and the province is called Rakhine State in Myanmar.[2] So the US is pressuring Myanmar very very hard on this case. [3]

Two things can happen from this. 1) If Myanmar resists US pressure and doing the same things just as they are treating these people now, US can just say, "hey buds, we've told you. Human rights to these people or they will human rights you". So any violence that might arise from this can be justified. Actually Myanmar government has been exceptionally stupid in handling Rohingya case. This mess has now become an international case. Thats their fault.

2) Myanmar succumbs to US pressure and grant some human rights to Rohingya(eg. giving them ethnic status, grant citizenship and that shit). Rohingya may rises and clashes with ethnic Rakhine group there to take the revenge. The region will be destabilised and this will give Chinese a huge headache for their hardcore investments.

nshung··on Chinese Men Indicted in Theft of Code from U.S. Tech Companies
PST(Norwegian M15) seems to believe so! But, as in any other case like this, they rarely comment.
nshung··on Chinese Men Indicted in Theft of Code from U.S. Tech Companies
I think China needs to stop these activities if she wants to be respected internationally. In January this year, two Chinese professors in Norway got kicked out from a Norwegian university because Norway was also concerned with spying activities from China. [1] I think China economy has come to a point that it needs innovation to move forward. Obviously, stealing intellectual properties from other countries is not the best way to go here.
