Is it just simply because there were 5 folds more Chinese people study in US from a decade ago? I don’t like the word “send”. AFAIK China was not paying for their tuitions.

I left weibo years ago. If you don’t know what “insult China” means in weibo, you are not a qualified weibo user. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%BE%B1%E8%8F%AF#Chinese

Workplace AA is the least I’m concerning about. Any biased candidate selection method will be punished by market.

Yeah, this is conflicting with their another topic: diversity. Diversity and Equity are contradictory. If you accept diversity, you accept people of different groups should and could behave differently. Then you should accept that with these different behavior, the outcome should be different.

If you accept Equity, then you accept whatever group you are in, the outcome should be the same. Then this defeats the diversity.

Is it used as an excuse for the harassment?

There is a thing called sampling.

I disagree with this article, not because of it's correctness, which I don't care. It is more about the perspective. This kind of "explanation", has nothing good to solve the problem. It is just yet another aftermath "excuse research".

In east Asia, we had an infamous example: Chang Hsueh-liang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%20Hsueh-liang . The problem is clear here: if we could find an excuse for him, then we could for anybody.

Let's ask ourselves this question: do we want our kids addicting to drugs, or do we want ourselves addicting to drugs? If the answers are no, still the question will be, going forward what we can do, which this article has little advice.

Didn’t know the language can be a factor. I was always told any language is fine.

Sorry, but as a non-native English speaker, “compromised of” confuses me more, I guess mostly because I was exposed to the other meaning too much.

On the opposite, banning TikTok is to maintain the openness of the internet. Like Nassim Taleb puts: we should not let the Most Intolerant win.

I don’t think Fahrenheit is more “human” then Celsius. We think 25 is normal, above 40 is hot and below 0 is freezing.

I hope this is the last straw to end Jack Dorsey‘s career.

Wow, as a Chinese speaker, this screenshot tells me too much.

The Google-owned video platform became the latest of the big social networks to reverse the former president’s account restrictions.

Attacks represent new level of ingenuity and sophistication from China, according to researchers

I use Amazon Photo as yet another backup plan. I have my photos sync on OneDrive and NAS as well.

The Biden administration is demanding that Chinese-owned TikTok be sold, or the popular video app could face a ban in the U.S., according to a TikTok spokesperson.

I’m a Mint user. What does this mean to me?

A teacher at a Seattle-area school was audio recorded during an irate attack on FOX News. But the indoctrination attempt was rebuffed by one precocious young student who reminded him, “You’re not supposed to be talking about politics in school.”

Li Qiang, the former Communist Party chief of Shanghai, took office on Saturday as China's premier, the country's No.2 post, putting the close ally of President Xi Jinping in charge of reviving an economy battered by three years of COVID-19 curbs.

Lie like this: 90% of students have difficulty to learn high school math.

I’m from China. This reminds me the often seen CCP—ish operations.

Surveillance cameras are everywhere on street. But if asked the footage to against themselves, the usual answers are cameras broken, storage broken, or even server is missing.

A simple rule of thumb is that if you pay more salary than they deserve, it is a harm for them, and for society as well in this case.

The pay that can be bypassed with a FF add on is not a “wall”. They want the pay but don’t want to invest to build a solid wall, I’d say good luck.

Just uninstalled it. For some fancy keyboard like kinesis freestyle, it is not applicable. For some modern keyboard that supports VIA, its feature is under par and is useless.

Beginning in 2011, there was a rapid shift in the ways people associated with the knowledge economy talked about “social justice” and engaged with “social justice” issues. Professionals in fields like tech, finance, education, journalism, arts, entertainment, design, and consulting (and students who aspired to join their ranks) grew much more politically “radical” over the last 10 years, and increasingly intolerant of dissent. The shifts were especially pronounced on matters pertaining to identity (above all, race, gender, and sexuality).

An open-records request reveals that Texas Tech faculty penalize candidates for heterodox opinions.

The University of North Carolina faculty is outraged that the school’s trustees favor open academic inquiry.
