  • That’s the problem actually, they are NOT fools. They are VERY smart and VERY determined adversaries who are determined to destroy the US economy and everything everybody would want to stand for, in order to maximize their own short term gains. They are making highly calculated moves specifically for that goal of theirs.

    They are straight up adversaries to American people, they need to be treated as adversaries, and you do NOT ever attempt to underestimate your adversaries.



  • And on top of that, when a bully is punching you, you can’t do nothing and expect them to stop punching you more. That will NEVER work for a bully, instead you have to punch them back sufficiently hard in order to immediately stop them from punching you more or do something even worse, if you could stop them at all. So an immediate retaliatory response is in fact absolutely necessary, and a retaliatory tariff is pretty much the only practical option for an immediate response.

    But then again, it’s entirely possible this is exactly what Trump plotted. Damn he really is an adversary to American people and everybody except himself and maybe Putin, so you really have to analyze him accordingly, what a fucked up world we are in now :(









  • As someone who also speaks Chinese natively and have additionally seriously studied classical Chinese and used to read historical documents and books, no not at all.

    I always have Chinese text in the same font size as English, never found myself in need of adjusting the font size at all.

    However, I am studying German and I do sometimes finding myself wanting to enlarge the font a bit, even though it’s the mostly the same Latin script as English.

    I think ultimately it depends on how familiar you are with the script, once you are sufficiently familiar you only ever need to be parsing a part of the script when you’re reading it, at least most of the time and in daily uses, so glyph stroke density is not in itself an issue.

    By the way if you find Chinese script looks cramped, look up the historical Tangut script! XD








  • Finally!

    My biggest problem with bi-foldable phones so far is that they don’t actually offer enough of a screen size to really be the tablet replacement that is worth for all the downsides (like fragile screen, added weight and complexity and everything). But on the other hand it’s also just not possible to make a 10+ inches screen pocketable by folding it only once, whole still retaining an acceptable aspect ratio for both folded and unfolded forms.

    Trifold is the first step towards finally having a meaningful foldable phone.
