After receiving a second chance in my life, I knew I needed to live differently. The concept of living resonantly seemed like the answer to a deeply fulfilling and authentic existence, but I was unsure how to begin. I turned to faith and prayer for guidance. I prayed, "God, I

Another wild scoop on NPR from @TomDreisbach: Video shows a man on Jan. 6 shouting for the crowd to kill police: “Kill ‘em!” He admitted saying it. One of Trump’s first acts in office was to cancel his trial and hire him for a job at the Justice Department.

This gives me hope for US China relations since both countries now produce official statistics in the same way, continuing the convergence between the two governments
🚨 Trump is demanding the firing of the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, Erika McEntarfer, because the jobs report was bad. When you can’t rig the numbers, fire the messenger. Classic authoritarian move.

Very sad to hear that the only traditional Chinese-language newspaper in Vietnam (“Saigon Liberation”) will no longer go on print from August 1st. It’s over 50 years old, mostly read by old people to keep up with their mother tongue & not so digitally-savy.

Let's put it this way, China has exported a mountain of potential IPs to the US by allowing these high achieving engineers to study and work in the US. It makes no sense to put up any barriers to this highly beneficial process (to the US).
7 out of 11 of Facebook AI Lab’s much touted AI hires are Chinese & Chinese educated, with undergraduate degrees from Tsinghua (4) and one each from Zhejiang, Peking U, and Univ of Sci & Tech of China PhDs were from Stanford (2) and one each from UIUC, Carnegie Mellon
