@teortaxesTex great, more diaspora grievance politics disguised as objective analysis

Ahaha, extraordinary
Dwarkesh, reasoning from First Principles, pitched the idea that the US should have allied with Japan in WWII to take down China. It's not a rare idea these days, of course… but the argument about Nazis is so fn funny. Nazis were spooked by the Japanese.

@QuetzalPhoenix What self esteem? Japanese are a conquered and occupied people since world war 2.
English
I said this before, but I think a big understated reason for Japan's self esteem is knowing they conquered China, that's like every Asian's dream that's literally the East Asia win condition and it's basically just Genghis Khan and Hirohito.
English
@UnitedBM7 @alreadydawn Just socioeconomics. China lagged Singapore in economic development.
English
@alreadydawn I’ve been thinking, they’ve copied almost everything Singapore except for these small details. Like how are they so good at national policy but so bad at the nitty gritty? Spitting used to be a problem in Singapore too in the 89’s but fines are handed and it stopped.

This might seem like an crazy statement, but PRC citiens enjoy *way too much* freedom. From scooters running red lights and hogging sidewalks to taxis doing all kinds of wild maneuvers, chain-smoking in restaurants and hotels to shop staff screaming into loudspeakers raping my goddamn ears, parents beating kids in public to littering at ancient sites. It's the Wild West out here, despite the abundance of CCTVs and policemen everywhere.
If only the social credit system were real. The CCP can do way more to discipline their people.

@teortaxesTex American special ops is obviously by far best in world. Most combat experience, most funding.
English
You have to hand it to Americans. The Commander in Chief may be a retard at his job, Hegseth is worse, but the actual combatants are competent and effective as all hell. Yes, it's heavily about the tech, but it's not just tech. They are good.

Trump: WE GOT HIM! He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine. The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies.
English
@jBIEBERLONDON @ZoomerHistorian well they're going to have neither infrastructure nor underground missile cities after this
English
@ZoomerHistorian The Stone Age IS under the IR you dumbass. Where no functional infrastructure or agriculture exists because they are too busy with underground missile cities

Lets take a moment to laugh at all the naive Iranian diaspora libtards who begged for this war

@hailkoenig @Molson_Hart People claimed Manchu minority status for affirmative action benefits. So it's the other way around. But functionally, all minorities will be accelerated in integrating into the Han majority. Just check out the new law passed last month - chinalawtranslate.com/en/ethnic-unit…
English
@HalcyonFlames @Molson_Hart We are pretending to be Han on our national ID to avoid persecution. We don’t speak the language because mandarin is also our native tongue.
People with Manchu IDs number over 10 million, the 3rd largest minority in the country. Do you even know what you’re talking about?
English
500 years ago both India and China were conquered by minority peoples from their north, India by the Mughals from today’s Uzbekistan and China by the Manchus from northeastern China and the border areas of Russia, North Korea, and Mongolia.
Despite taking over the entirety of these great nations, relative to modern peer nations, the Mughals and Manchus have fallen out of the consciousness of both nations, having been integrated into India’s and China’s histories, almost seen as one and the same.
While the Mughals and Manchus physically geographically conquered India and China, ultimately the language, culture, and sheer number of the local people conquered them.
English
@LFriszt Sorry man. Crazy to see what's happening. Must be tough.
English
The comments are filled with people fantasizing about killing these children yet it’s the Chinese tourists who are violent
English
@hailkoenig @Molson_Hart And now Manchukuo is conquered and Manchus on the verge of being wiped out. Too bad.
English
@Molson_Hart Slight difference: the successor state of Manchukuo (1932-1945) was extremely successful by all metrics and accounts. All of my grandparents remember it fondly. Way more than the ccp state.
I’m ethnic manchu so my view is probably biased.
English
@Molson_Hart And now the Manchus are conquered and will be wiped out soon. Who cares?
English
The Japanese "right" is so eager to point at the slighest slip from Chinese tourists, yet says nothing when Westerners disrespect their culture.
No self-respect.
No honour.

@jimsciutto Who cares? Not like Trump would listen to them either way.
English
Blasting Iran “back to the stone ages” will not ring kindly to the Iranian people who Trump claimed the war was intended in part to save from their government.
English
@bryancsk Disagree it’s very solid. Too expensive though but understandable given the popularity.

DTF is actually bad and should be treated like fast food. You can eat it because it is ubiquitous and everywhere, but you should feel guilty about it.

@teortaxesTex Man, these people are desperate. Making grand proclamations off random unsourced internet articles. Crazy.
English
What has gone on for actually a whole century was unchallenged American industrial, military and economic dominance. "Communists"weren't even in the picture. Until about 20 years ago.
Smug Americans will need more than 20 years to grok what has happened. Bad habits die hard.

@JosephGelman @samtripoli Let’s switch places. Israel in Iran, USA in Lebanon.

@samtripoli Is the US on the Ground in Lebanon? Israel is.

@teortaxesTex Wasn't a Shijian satellite that took that photo of the Maxar satellite. Was a commercial provider just like Maxar... Jilin-1.
English
Shijian has significantly lower efficient resolution. Yes it's taking the photo from a longer distance, but here's Maxar seeing it from even further away. Nevertheless I think that in a year or three the gap will narrow a lot. It's… viable.
Radha Krishna Kavuluru@iamkrishradha
Space wars between China and US. USA Maxar satellites click pictures of Shijian 26 satellite in space and China reciprocates by Imaging Maxar satellites with Jilin-1. This mode is called Non Earth Imaging , NEI.

@C_Barraud There's no change in prediction in the article here. In the text, the doctor is emphasizing that disease control needs to focus on imported cases from overseas.
Notice he's specifically used the term "global" outbreak.
English
Before it was: "will basically be brought under control on the Chinese mainland by the end of April." (bit.ly/2wEPp7O)
➡ It means that Chinese Cos won't probably be able to resume production (at full capacity❗) before before 3Q20.

@xuchuanmei @intewig It's clearly because of a lack of tests. I don't think doctors in either Wuhan or now New York are limiting tests just to purposely hit a high percentage... they just don't have enough tests available at the moment.
English
@intewig It was reported that in earlier stage of the outbreak, Drs in Wuhan to told to “ensure high positive rate”, meaning only test pts who r mostly likely to be positive. Consequently they miss many cases by testing so narrowly. I think this same mistake is being repeated in the US.
English
@GlennLuk @stewak2 Yep. And according to the second article, Rhode Island is following the same procedure. Local positive with CDC testing needed for full confirmation.

nbcboston.com/news/coronavir…
English
@HalcyonFlames @stewak2 I see. So that means they do one local lab test with the kit and another at a centralized location (CDC) to double-confirm?
English
Sounds like "presumptive case" is similar to the "confirmed via clinical diagnosis" metric that caused some confusion in #COVID19 number tracking a few weeks ago in Hubei: twitter.com/GlennLuk/statu…
