TW is Republic of China, so it is some China anyways...
cwhy··on OpenCog – Open Source Artificial Intelligence Framework
Now only the Chinese pays for it...
cwhy··on Yo
Yooooooooo If you know what I mean...
cwhy··on Implementing 2048 in 90 lines of Haskell
I haven't used haskell before and did not fully understand the code, but since python support those map filter stuff, can we write haskell-like python as well?
cwhy··on Turing Test Success
Failed.. Just keep saying hello to it and imagine it is a real people.
cwhy··on Learning to Love Complex Numbers
And basically, negative numbers can be avoided as well using the concept of vectors
cwhy··on Learning to Love Complex Numbers
I just hate them.. Why don't we just use vectors and make math easier to learn?
cwhy··on Why Dataflow is not Popular
Does a functional programming style solve the problem?
cwhy··on The consumer driven economy is for people who don't naturally automate things
I am from China, and I can share a bit of what I have learnt about Marxism in my secondary school:

1. As technology advances, machines will do more and more things that what human originally do.

2. As a result, less people will have jobs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_unemployment

3. At the same time, people (organization) who owns (not develops) machines will take this income.

4. People (organization) who owns more machines can more easily to buy another one.

5. Richer people will get richer. Poor people will get poorer.

-. Capitalism has bugs.

In the future (my crazy thoughts):

(If machines keep getting smarter)

> More and more jobs are handled by humans, thus things like labor strike will have less and less impact on machine owners - since machines can still work for them.

(If machines are smarter than human)

> People who cannot develop machines will have no competition with machine owners, since they have machines which are smarter

(If machines can developer machines)

> Even people who can develop machines (maybe the last group of people) will be unemployed. People who own machines will have endless expansion. And people's life will be depending on how many machines they have and how advanced the machines are.

About new jobs the machine enables:

Other than machine generator/operators, most of them are entertainment which are generated needs. This portion of job looks unlikely will be replaced by machines. But who knows.

I know my logic may be flawed and all objections with reasons are extremely welcome.

I only proposed a problem with no solution, as I cannot imagine one (and definitely not pure centralized socialism), and I like machines.

cwhy··on Beijing says 400 million Chinese cannot speak Mandarin
Han people take part of about 91% percent... This 70% may refer to the "standard" mandarin, more like comparing to accents of the same language.
cwhy··on Beijing says 400 million Chinese cannot speak Mandarin
So you prefer them to communicate using English, a language that is even more unrelated?
cwhy··on [dead]
This is a wrong submission... How to delete it?
cwhy··on Doctoral degrees: The disposable academic (2010)
Yes, totally agree. Please, smart people who just want to find a good job for money, do not take PhDs like no-brainers, and leave some vacancies for people who want to do some real research......
cwhy··on 2nd year Comp Sci student that just now figured out I have ADD
I found out that my case is more severe than you... But the comments here don't seem to come to any conclusion... Maybe I will find treatment as well..
cwhy··on Google Drive was down
It is down just after I uploaded a file... Is it related to the news of the shut down by the beloved Reader..?
cwhy··on Machine Learning, Big Data, Data Mining, Statistics, Probability FAQ
But that is for deductive reasoning. Using one person's past experience only as a reference to judge is not wrong. That's why things like Curriculum Vitae is useful.

By applying your logic, I can also suggest a wiki page for you:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasty_generalization
