ttflee··on What Is Going to Happen in 2019
China's growth in the past 30 years largely depended on foreign direct investment and export. With current dispute on trade escalating to an all out trade war, the prospect in 2019 would be even more dimmer. If China invades Taiwan and further disrupts global supply chain, a such slower global growth could be expected.

The way they burned the NTP addresses reminded me of Douglas Adams quotes "The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair".

ttflee··on China drafts law protecting foreign IP and prohibiting forced tech transfer
Funny how the constitution of China is not enforcible. You cannot sue the government against its violation of constitution. On the other hand no one believes in the political rights promised in constitution anyway.

Edit: I am prepared to be downvoted. Running China mostly depends on the use of administrative branches. The law enforcement agencies, the prosecution agencies and the the courts are all subdivisions of corresponding governments, under the direction of corresponding party committee. The people‘s congress should supervise the government, de jure. But that only happened in a parallel universe.

ttflee··on Jack Parsons and the Occult Roots of JPL
> JPL itself doesn't have "occult roots."

Just my personal speculation:

Qian Xuesen, one of the few who founded JPL and later the Chinese rocket industry, has a strange favor in researches of "special human body functions" which turned out to be nonsense at all. It would be easily explained had he ever been exposed to Aleister Crowley and/or L. Ron Hubbard in 1940s.

> you’ll need a compatible GPU and graphics drivers (WDDM 2.5 or newer)

Does WMMD 2.5 require drivers to implement SR-IOV capability for GPU? Or does Microsoft used some architecture similar to mediated device in VFIO?

ttflee··on How to Start a Cultural Revolution (2017) [video]
Given that the revolutionary history of modern China shared adequate similarities to be mapped to a entrepreneurial context of narration, the first 30-year of the communist reign after 1949 looks too much alike a fundamentalist Marx-Leninist experiment, and the revolutionary practices quickly transformed to doctrinal fanaticism leading to disastrous outcome.

ttflee··on First gene-edited babies claimed in China
The Shenzhen HarMoniCare Women & Children’s Hospital, the medical ethics committee of which gave a permit to this, was one of the so-called Putian-systems, a medical network established by hundreds of people from Putian, Fujian who earned their first bucket of gold by selling “home made remedies and fake medicine at high prices”.

The text could be translated as:

Shown in the picture below, a USB-ethernet adapter/HUB (RT8152B), where a mt7601u USB-WiFi was plugged in, was plugged in besides the USB thumb drive. Thus it is expanded with a wired eth0 and a wireless wlan0.

I guess what you did not see is the ethernet adapter port like this:

ttflee··on China cracks down on religion, crosses burned at Christian churches
The ideology of the Party has been corrupted to the core, and what’s left is mere Machiavellianism. Choosing a wrong alternative ideology is too big a mistake that nobody dare to take the risk.
ttflee··on China cracks down on religion, crosses burned at Christian churches
Communist party of China used to be an organized religion, and quite a fanaticized one during the Cultural Revolution, that believed in a portfolio of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism ideologies and worshipped Mao personally. Religions and other old-school organizations were infiltrated and cracked down according to Leninism after the regime was set up in 1950s.

You need an interlocutor to talk to about your technical choices. You would also talk a lot about the product and strategy and reassure that the communications are effective and mutual knowledge updated.

It’s definitely not communist but the Gongsun Wei Yang’s legalism. Each and every great empire in the history of China took his way of ruling.
