Good read, thanks for sharing :).

I will keep the article in case one day I want to persuade my child to love math.

Agree with what you said.

Liking is also a great signal for passion. If we like something, we are more likely to do it for years and then have the passion. I don't think we can choose what we like.

There are of couses cases when children are forced to do something early and later fall in love with it.

Recoding stream is a good idea! Thanks for this concrete advice and example :))

I haven't seen one that explains the origin of passion or whether it is possible to become passionate.

As Bezos said, you can't choose your passion, your passion chooses you.

I like this idea. It's simple and elegant.

I am accidentally practising it.

I make games. I tried and failed to get investement and partners.

So I am making games alone. Last week I started streaming my daily work. I stream my the other screen display, such that I can decide what to show and what to hide.

I told myself, streaming cost me no money and I might attract attention of partners and investors. Nothing unfold yet. But I would continue.

As a data analyst before, I enjoyed ggplot a slot. It really is next level data visulization stuff.

I tried to find something like ggplot in Python but failed to find one. Good to know that there is a python version of it.

Hell. This is disgusting.

I used to think of joining academic world, my interests was in Political Science. But I had many doubts over the academic mechanics in China, many bad news spreaded.(Besides I doubt my passion and intelligence). So I choose to join business world, then startup world.

Still, reading such news disgutsts me. There should not be such thing as Fake it until you make it in academics.

At least following factors are considered:

- Old Parents hate game. And old parents usually control the policy making and media.

- Rent Seeking. As many policies in China, no clear rule in terms of game regulation. You want to pass it? Money helps. Those who make such rules don't care about taxes loses. Different department, different incentives.

I am Chinese. Chinese gaming industry is f*cked hard by these paperworks. It kills many studios and jobs.

> Plus the long and heavy administrative paperwork to get a game approved by the authorities.

True. I am a game developer in China. I can't afford those paperwork, both in terms of money and energy. I intend to publish my game in Western countries.

> There is no reciprocity with China on the game market.

True. Besides, china also has cheap labour in gaming industry, where employees are expected to work many hours.

Exactly what I need!

It is definitely different.

Back in 2012 the party is controled by a group of elder guys, though there is someone at the top.

Now it is dictated by Xi, who has already changed many things, like Chairman should only serve two terms. Luckily, he has no son.

I am actually going to receive players' written feedback, like "I like your game, but this or that feature is broken".

To my knowledge analytics usually mean quantitative metrics.

I am a Chinese. I don't think anyone outside Xin Jiang knows any details about these.

My wife is from Xin Jiang. She is not Uighurs. I have been to Xin Jiang. I don't think non-Uighurs in Xin Jiang knows the details about these.

They are like secrets. You know something is happening. But you don't know what exactly is happening.

I came across too many people who value mean soooooo much in the analysis. Well, some of them made mistake and the project died. Hypothesis: heavy reliance on mean increases the probability of failure in internet industry. This reminds of PG's essay mean people fail: http://www.paulgraham.com/mean.html

Pun intended :)

My wife is going to give birth in a few days. Yet I experience everything PG writes before he has children. I dread it. I'm afraid that it would hurt my project. I don't like my experence with children. It is the best time for me to read this essay.
