Great info in the article. I wonder if there's data segmented by age group.
As a Hongkonger myself, I'd say culturally we are more like Taiwan than Singapore. We don't really see culture influences from Singapore here. I'm not sure if they export any at all. In contrast, we enjoy Taiwan pop songs, TV shows, and movies a lot. And Hong Kong-Taipei has long been one of the world's busiest plane routes[0].
Taiwan's economy is growing, but Singapore definitely benefits most from Hong Kong's downfall. MNCs have already started migrating Asia HQ to Singapore. So I suspect ambitious young professionals, who wish to stay in Asia, will follow the flow of capital and opportunities to Singapore, whereas others will choose Taiwan.
I am stunned by the fact that such seemingly complex and beautiful patterns we could see in the nature[0] can be generated with simple and elegant code, when the coder is well-versed in math and data structure.
Gets me thinking: our sophisticated world is created using layers upon layers of derived probabilistic algorithms, and the top layer may well be just one simple algorithm.
It depends what you mean by “urban area” - somewhere like Palo Alto, where you’ve got nice big roads and a few turns before getting on the freeway and lots of sun? It’s not too bad, I’ve driven with colleagues there in their Teslas.
My current school run in London (small streets, changeable weather, congestion, roadworks a plenty) - absolutely awful. I imagine it’s similar for New York. I have been driving my Model 3 in London a lot more recently due to the pandemic, and autopilot is nowhere near ready. Almost worse than useless.
If all he did was to not speak up, your argument is totally valid. But the truth is he actively tried to silent others by saying Daryl Morey was "misinformed and not educated on the situation", when nobody asked for his opinion about the matter.
