says who?

> Are they as rich as the US per capita? No, but they're on the right trajectory, and getting there quicker than most other nations did.

Japan thought the same thing up until 1989

Why is this link keep getting posted repeatedly?

16 hours ago it was already submitted here : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19140804

Strangely, it was quickly hidden and one of the comments pointed to this explanation of how shadow banking works in China and the potential risk.

Essentially, these two large borrowers missing bond payment is a signal of worst to come.

It's not a question of if or when such crash will come but who will go down first and the big question: Can Chinese leadership be able to survive this time around? Deng Xiaopeng's remedy to deteriorating grip on the country was market capitalism, but now that it has proven to be largely a failure with half a billion Chinese living in poverty or barely what is considered Standard living in the west, with no political free will and expression protected, how long can the people bare it?

There are already signs of simmering tensions between the state and people. Much like leading up to the Tianmen Square incident 40 years ago in 1989, we are seeing similar themes - the rise of student activists with little to nothing to lose, a deteriorating economy now on the verge of misnky effect, now with a KGB puppet applying pressure via trade sanctions....

I estimate some major event taking place after the North Korea-America summit, the outcomes of that meeting will determine what chips China will use to get America off it's back.....

yup, you guessed right, another nuclear test this year along with ICBM/SLBM tests, launching skirmishes in NLL zone....

OR

another tianmen square unfortunately...as Chinese leadership realizes America's not about to go easy, it will have no choice but to kill it's own citizens who will riot when they los their jobs and savings.

The domino chips are all set in place, and it's just waiting for that final push.

This measurement of size is irrelevant. With application you get everything you need, none of the data needs to be lazy loaded or trick the user somehow to make up for the connection latency, hence "Rectangle city"

The PWA file sizes can easily surpass 50mb but the difference is it gets it intermittently and this depends on a uninterrupted cellular connection (the specific demographic PWA is targetting which is mobile) ends up producing an inferior experience to just downloading an app and it's not all tall order, phones now have crazy amount of storage and insanely fast WIFI.

Sure it would be nice to order condoms online from Amazon's PWA while waiting for my starbucks, but I could've easily satisfied my impulses in front of a PC.

The seamless omni-channel bullshit google is selling to retailers is not going well, which seemingly are there target market to counter Amazon's dominance in e-commerce.

Google has royally fucked up by eroding trust via AMP and have hurt the PWA intiative with poor timing. It's 10 years too early.

The first experience is crucial, according to Google 51% of your visitors will leave if they don't see content within the first 5 seconds.

Then you tell people, yeah but its okay to do this the first time, then the second time they come to your PWA, it will load super fast!

Except it's not at all fast because it turns out cellular network is spotty so not everyone experiences/reports the same experience, it turns jaded users who feel discriminated because they don't have a thousand dollar phone that can render their PWA jank free.

There's an Application in PWA somewhere I'm sure of it.

You are right about conversion rates but I was specifically talking about online shoppers for a specific niche to demonstrate the extreme case where people are fine with what they have and rather not see changes they need to . relearn.

that is quite chilling but not surprising from the US.

I wonder if this had impact on the drop in crime rates during the 90s.

Imagine a carefully targeted campaign against genetically disposed to violence and allergy to education. You can sterilize entire 'hoods bye putting guns, drugs and alcohol there and just wait for the environment to infect all others.

Like considering the overwhelming prison population in the US is black or latino, you can't help but wonder at some grand conspiracy that's aimed at sorting out the unfit from the normal.

but how can you put a start and finish to something that is eternal and infinite?

god knows how many iteration of terrestrial universes we have gone through already.

alls I'm saying is we ask these questions like asking Google and expect clear cut answers when reality itself is uncertain, until it is observed.

what is dark matter? is it the opposite of matter? how can it be called matter when it doesn't exist?

or are these objects from higher dimensions as Michio Kaku postulates? that galaxies are essentially in a bubble of dark matter preventing it from hurling in every direction.

as well as the presence of dark matter in orbits, could it not be the space-time curvature from the mass itself but from the encapsulating dark matter around it?

I no very little of this subject so I can only ponder and fantasize.

this is a bad fucking idea to allow your DNA sequences to be shared with the government.

but seems like a trend now, just to blindly copy what celebrities endorse so

more power to you folks who submitted your DNA, you can never take it back, and they have it forever.

Any crime your descendants or you commit in the future or the propensity to commit crime under the right psychosexual circumstances carefully driven by subliminal messaging, are fucked.

i think this might be used to treat people with schizophrenia or other mental illness issues.

Imagine any negative or false perception can be corrected with a medical device.

"No, Janet. The butt naked dwarf with a pitchfork isn't real. Keep coding."

every fucking position i applied to i was turned down because it had 'client facing roles'

I even said i would use my male voice on the phone because I don't wanna weird people out

This was an issue also at my old job.

I feel that I wasted a decade in the tech industry, mostly startups.

now im in my early 30s, im totally fucked.

i think lot of pornstars do it just so they can prostitute themselves.

Vancouver has social liberal rights with none of it actually respected by the population. theres still the old judeo-christian ethics along with sino ethics which make it way worse.

I'm considered a freak and will be so .

Society doesn't want to see me, or acknowledge me. what options are there for me?

what options are there for the negroes in detroit ghetto?

what options are there for people who are completely shunned and unwanted by mainstream society and even family and friends?

Fuck you. You haven't walked in my shoes.

we see this dark pattern deployedall the time on hn

my point was lot of people who think they have aspergers actually dont

transwomen's individual lives differ drastically

good on you that you are in STEM

I was in STEM but being transgender excluded me.

Trans people are treated like freaks. As far as I know, I don't exist. I am fine with this.

but it irks me when ppl humble brag

i thought i had aspergers but it turned out I was actually transgendered.

im willing to bet that the number of transgender population is a lot higher.

unabomber was also diagnosed to be transgender using modern definition.

my theory is ted bundy was also a transgender. there exists a sort of misogynistic jealousy towardsthe opposite sex but he is an extreme and rarely example along with unabomber.

people who are transgender are literally in a constant state of mental anguish. then you have normies and the social structure which is tilted to hetrosexual cis-gender populace.

i only found out i was transgender after decades of denial. its important to never lie to yourself. its amazing how much you can trick yourself in to believing in the image that those around you have set.

screaming someone misgendered you won't do jack shit.

as a transwoman my career options are now prostitution, pornography, and the drug trade but probably will be overlaps.

i mean 1.2 billion records per second. not month. now that was a tough problem back when I was sane.

1.2b/s try that its far moerchallenging

i think theres lot of mis self diagnoses going on right now.

99% of people who are self diagnosed ASD, are 80% more likely to self diagnose.

This means that for the vast majority of engineers going around wearing their Aspergers badge are not on the autism spectrum disorder.

once i had to talk to my boss i didnt really like

this explains it.

modern day enterprise sales is essentially providing free consulting work.

CGI 20 years later? can somebody explain what they mean by this

edit: okay this is pretty cool, what use cases is there?

if it's not 1:1 to meat then forgettaboutit

guess im eating steak tonite

when i saw animals being mistreated it made me feel sick for eating meat.

if this alternative has all of the same nutrition and taste and texture as real meat then i am switching

thats pretty much converting javascript into html and vice versa

i dont want to convert HTML into any other format...its like coffeescript. somebody is gonna pick up your code and they see all these el('h1','OMFG HN SUX'); instead of normal sane HTML.

don't reinvent the wheel man.

this.

japans soft poweris denial od history

AMP and PWA are pile of shits designed to lock users to Google.

no longer need bitbucket

shut the fuck up

seriously.
