China banned NBA for misinformation? Should NBA comply?

The GFW of China is to prevent its people to see outside. The GFW of America, at least for now, is to prevent China from peeking in. One is implemented as an allow list, the other one is a deny list.

You can try saying something negative about Xi in China and count how many minutes before it gets deleted. And try the same on Twitter against Trump.

You will see the difference.

I have lived in China till I was 20. I saw the difference.

There is no clear boundary between the good and the bad. There are shades of gray.

But there is certainly differences between North Korea and say Iceland.

Trump may be a rogue. But it takes a rogue to fight a bigger rogue.

The U.S. mindsets doesn’t apply to the Chinese government.

Chinese government has banned countless things from the world for one reason. They believe those things will jeopardize their ruling.

They had banned fb, Twitter, bullied google, youtube, because if Chinese citizens criticize the government on those platforms or see the truth, they will have no good control. They fear their own people more than anything else. Do they care about people’s privacy ? Especially with that intense surveillance? Is any high tech data worth protecting if the data was stolen in the first place?

Will an electronic car jeopardize their ruling?

Making a p2p message board such that outbreaks like this can’t be censored by Chinese government anymore.

In your situation, I would follow his order exactly, do the minimum and let him be the firefighter.

I wouldn’t follow a non-technical manager if I have a choice. I tried it once, it’s a shitty experience. It’s hard to build trust between us. He simply didn’t trust/understand what I said. There were always a pair of eyes watching me. The conversation and management overhead is very high.

I probably wouldn’t hire them if I were the boss. They don’t add value to the project much.

The mandarin part is in a female voice. Making a voice that doesn’t sound like him using AI seems to be a overkill. They could have used dubbers.

I have open source deep learning projects on GitHub. Should I be worried?

California, Brazil and Australia. I have lost my hope. Next summer, there will be more. Nothing can reverse the damages made by humans. The only way seems to be reducing population to a sustainable level.

Basically pretend to be a mindless cooperative citizen and say nothing in public and only be the true self in front of family and friends in private.

We should not, they will abuse it.
